I have been neglecting my blog. Life has been swirling around me-or maybe I am the one swirling-well, whichever it is, writing has not been foremost in my mind. I think about writing once in a while but I'm not motivated to do anything about it. We are leaving in a week to camp for a week in a cabin. I have been looking forward to this all year. I have not, however been looking forward to the packing-for eight people-it can be overwhelming at best. I began this week to put things aside, and the kids have a few play clothes to wear for the next seven days-should be interesting.LOL I just thought that I needed to plan way ahead the best I could because I know myself all too well-so, we are going to make do with as little as possible for the week, and have a great week up at the cabin. After camping-I have no plans for the summer, and I am a bit anxious about how the summer will play out. My kids are getting older and they need lots of things(good things) to keep them busy. Sometimes they manage well on their own, but sometimes, they don't. Tonight they played in the sprinkler for a long time, and then OB1 took his stereo outside and played some music for the kids to goof around to. They had alot of fun and kept busy enough to stay out of trouble. If only this were the scenario every day. Some days the boys fight about EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING. Other days they are the best of friends. Princess keeps busy playing dolls almost every day, but she has her moments. Then of course there is next school year. I still do not know what we will be doing and I think I am just waiting. I kept telling people I am taking June off, but it has not seemed like much af a vacation thus far, with a garage sale three days last week(and of course the three days before that I spent going through our house weeding out the stuff we do not need anymore), and all the planning for our upcoming trip and keeping the kids busy all the while and the house clean all at the same time. Being that I am not supermom in any way shape or form, I am exhausted. I hope our trip is relaxing somehow, but with a cabin full of five adults and six kids-I am not getting my hopes up too high.LOL It amazes me how fast life passes us by. I know it seems trite to say that, as we all are finding out that with age, time flies faster and faster as the years pass. But it still amazes me. My oldest is nine, and I am beginning to see the makings of manhood in him. I am excited and completely terrified! This is the first year that I have let him and his younger brother take a bike ride all alone around the neighborhood, and why is that so hard to do?? I told them if the weren't back in twenty minutes-I was taking the car and searching for them.LOL They would come back and check in, then go out again, and it really helped me to see them in a more grownup light-slightly more-just slightly. :-) I think I am beginning to ramble away. God is always good-no matter what circumstances come our way. I am still and always will be in awe of all that He does. No matter how foolish and silly I get-He is still amazing to me. And no matter how mad or stubborn or afraid I can be-He is always good to us!! I think I will sign off on that note! Blessings.
