So Happy to Hear from So Many of You!

Thanks for letting me know I'm not in this alone!!! I knew you would all get a good laugh from that! It has been a crazy day as usual, but a great one! Can I just tell you I have great kids!!Even though life gets so busy and we run and run and run around here, they really make me smile and fill my heart with joy! The greatest sounds around here lately have been to hear Ethan practicing the piano and Brooke her flute-- they actually play music!! I am so grateful for the people in our lives who share their talent with my children and are helping them develop a love for music.
Today Brooke was awarded student of the month for her grade, which is a pretty big deal. All the teachers vote and she was chosen. She was really excited and all of her friends were so excited for her. She is such a beautiful, intelligent girl! I find myself getting very melancholy as her 12th Birthday approaches this weekend. I know time is just going to fly! I am trying to cherish every moment even the crazy ones!

It has been a while!

Okay life should not be this busy! Sometimes I feel like I have a hundred things to do and don't feel like I get any of them done!! But I received and email from a friend the other day that may help me to understand my problem. I think I have C.A.A.D.D. - Child Activated Attention Deficit Disorder apparently it manifest itself something like this:
You decided to do the laundry, but on your way to the laundry room you notice Cheerios on the floor that need to be swept up so you go get he broom, on your way to get he broom you notice your car keys are on the floor so you think I better put these away you head to your purse and realize..... I know all Mom's get the idea! LOL
Well I have a severe case of C.A.A.D.D.
This is just about how Friday went for me to the max. I spent several hours trying to update my blog which did not go well. A minimum of 6 times I tried to change my background and got completely kicked of the Internet. I gave up!!
Thought I had better get some laundry done,but before I could get a load in, it was time for Brooke to go to dance, laundry had to wait, got back -maybe I'll try my blog again. I feel bad, get kicked off twice more, I give up again!!!
Time to pickup boys from a party, better shower first since it is late afternoon, get the boys, better run to the store.Try the blog one more time, No luck!! No Laundry done, and it's time to get dinner ready!!
I think I'm a classic case, what did I accomplish all day? My anecdote this weekend, finish a good book Sunday and try again later. It kinda worked today, but I still had some trouble I lost my blog list and got kicked off only once. I tried to remember everyone's blog address but there are a few of you I could not remember if you see you are missing could you please leave a comment and your address. It will be great to hear from you!
