I'm willing to bet your schedules sound very similar!! So for all you awesome moms out there running around like a chicken with your head cut off,
YOU ROCK!!!
We're not sure if our kids know if this is all for them, but I hope one day they will...
I've missed everyone so much & CAN'T WAIT to get back out into blogland to see what everyone has been up to! And yes, Day 5 from New York is coming!!! Even my mom was telling me that she was getting a little tired of seeing the Statue of Liberty...
HAVE A VERY, VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!
I hope you get to spend it doing everything you love with ALL those you love!
BTW...you're listening to my NEW favorite song...doesn't it make you just CRAVE SUMMER?!?
Enjoy!!

I should take a picture of about 6 loads of laundry dumped on our new leather sofas in the family room. Some laundry sorted in baskets, some still in a pile. My neighbor came over yesterday to ask me something and I tried (like a weirdo) to corner her in the foyer and living room so that she wouldn't get a peek into the kitchen that is such a mess right now! Ronnie is out of town, 3 kids on my own, spring time, daily swim team practice has started, volleyball practice, girl scouts, preschool, birthdays this month: Logan, Ronnie, my sister, my favorite niece, and our 12th anniversary (and mother's day!). Whew! I know how you feel- and it makes me feel better to know that your house is not as perfect as it usually is! Hopefully one day our children will look back and appreciate all of this, but I still wouldn't trade my exhaustion for anything in the world. I want to see you soon! Maybe we should have a laundry party- fill up the yukon and come on over- we can talk while we fold!
Amen Sister! Busy is an understatement!!
Now where do you hear all of these fun songs?? I dig this one too.
So glad to have the big check by Jubilee! Until next year... ;)

I'm so glad you are blogging again...I kept checking back and kept seeing NY...which isn't that bad! Sounds like you are just as busy and loving life! Training is going good and yesterday I had my best day of running in a long time...if only every day was that good!! Thanks for asking and checking in! Glad you're back!
that post made me NOT want to grow up!
my head is spinning... girrrrrl...
busy is an understatement!
reminding me of all the fun when my kids get a bit older... ALL the activities! sheesh! :)

flip flops & lack of a true schedule... YES!
