Is summer over yet???

I was finally getting a moment to catch up on all of the blogs that I have missed, when I noticed that I have not posted 1 thing in 2 months! Well you are just going to have to deal with it! This summer has been excruciating for me. With both Andy and I trying to work and the kids trying to be at home (and not kill eachother) it has been almost more than I can handle. If you come to my house please make sure that you notice that it has not really been clean all summer. It took me several weeks just to come to terms with the fact that for the first summer ever my kids would not have a parent around with them. We were however able to find a wonderful babysitter (I refer to him as Micheal the angel) He comes in for 2 days a week, and without him the summer would have gone up in smoke (or the house, I don't want to speculate on which one would have gone up first!). I cannot wait for the next 17 days and my kids go back to school so that I don't have to sit at work and worry about them anymore. Once school starts I will hopefully be able to find my house, get my laundry done and stop going insane~ of course these are just goals you never know if they will actually happen! For now I am just going to be ecstatic that Grandma and Grandpa are being brave enough to take all 4 kids to the family reunion with them because Andy and I can't get the time off to go, so maybe I will get a kids vacation too even if its only 4 days!
