So, just in case you haven't noticed...I don't really blog anymore. Here's my question...should I even bother? Is this blog on your radar? I've been thinking I should blog a few things...I have no intention of actually 'catching up' since a) my life is just a life, nothing really over the top exciting and b) that would just take for.ev.er.
If you are reading this you must be desperate so I'll just give you this snippet of a post, if anyone replies I might actually post photos:
Dan, works too hard as an assistant principal disciplining other people's children (and sometimes teachers). Still inching towards his doctorate, he has decided to take a 3 month deferment so as to actually enjoy his summer, yay! Said summer will be short because he is going to be the principal of summer school, yay? Very much looking forward to July when his real summer begins--after taking the YM on high adventure at the beginning of the month, yay! Okay, so his summer is 3 weeks long but it's gonna be awesome, yay!
All the kids are great and staying busy, yay!
Tyler played football, basketball, ran cross country and track through school. He really excelled at the running, yay! He's finishing up regular season baseball through the city PONY league this week and will then be on the all star team, yay! If you need your lawn mowed this summer call him because he will need to release some energy (and he really likes money).
Katherine loves volleyball--she finishes the spring season tomorrow and we just signed her up for the summer one, yay! She loves singing in the choir and will start violin lessons in June, yay! She starts intermediate school in the fall and that really freaks me out...way more than when Tyler started. Weird. She can't wait for summer so she can just hang out at the pool all day, yay!
Kyle played flag football (his parents are too overprotective to let him play tackle yet) and baseball and loved them both, yay! He's signed up for a summer basketball league--he was going to do an outdoor sport but then realized we live in Houston and went with the indoor sport...he's no dummy, yay! I'm also sneaking back in some piano lessons for him this summer--he'll be excited once they start, right? He's so funny and is excited for some fun summer activities with friends, yay!
Aaron loved his first season of T-ball--he mostly loved the snacks but there was still a lot of love, yay! He 'graduates' from preschool on Wednesday and will start kindergarten in the fall. When I told him they would do an assessment in August before he starts he asked what kinds of things they would test. I gave him the run down; colors, shapes, letters, etc. When I said they might ask him to count as high as he could he cut me off with 'well they are going to be there for HOURS because I can count forever'. He proceeded to count all the way to 219 then said 'I can count higher but I think I'll stop here for today so you don't get tired'. Stinker. Yay!
Elizabeth. Whew!
If you know her you know what I mean. She's just so crazy but adorable so we'll keep her. I have no idea what I'm going to do with her alone for the next 3 school years but we'll figure it out, yay! Right now we enjoy 'cleaning', not napping, feeding turtles, sometimes going in the potty if we feel like it, cooking, playing dolls, and pretending like we don't go into the boy's room while they are gone, playing matching games, and making Katherine's bed (yes, that is the only bed she makes). Yay!
We are, again, signed up for free AMF bowling--so bring on the summer baby, yay!
I still work at the hospital 6 shifts/month. I will refrain from complaining about that since some people work 6 days/week and my 6/month seems pretty lame compared to them. Believe it or not I'm trying to convince my boss to let me 'cut back' but we'll see how that goes. I am grateful that I can work so little and help out so much...if I have to have a job outside of home this is a decent one so I'll say I love it and be done, yay!
That's it. If we have something exciting happen we'll let you know, that is if you exist and I'm not just writing this to myself. Not blogging for so long made me wonder about abandoned blogs...what happens to them? Do they just sit there for years on end? If you die should you leave your blog to someone in your will? Should you also will them your shutterfly account so they can add photos? All kinds of things occupy my mind when I'm trying to avoid cleaning my room and doing laundry, yay!
