what I am feeling

I am feeling that none of us are as good as we think we are.

I am also feeling that none of us are as bad as we think either.

That food is way too expensive.

People, including me, have WAY too much stuff.

That vehicles are amazing.

Even though mine is dirty, inside and out.

That Georgia needs more sidewalks.

I am feeling like I need a break from my kids.

But I don't want to leave them.

That nothing in my house stays in its place for more than 15 seconds.

I am feeling like I missed book club for nothing.

But I did finish my fly lady stuff so maybe not for nothing, but close.

I am feeling happy.

I am needing to feel spiritual and write my talk, but it seems difficult.

I am feeling grateful that my husband once again made it home safe.

I am feeling blessed, sleepy, sneezy, and 11lbs lighter thanks to weight watchers.

I am also feeling out of credit card debt as of tomorrow.

I like how I am feeling, so I am going to sleep.

What to do?

Only six weeks of school left! Those will fly by like when you are eating your favorite chocolate bar and all of a sudden there is none left but you are sure you didn't eat it all. What to do? I have to get things done, plan some adventures, regain my sanity and prepare to quickly lose it again. I want to make a summer schedule, give me your favorite summer activities. I need to make this the best summer ever. Skyler starts middle school and the twins start Kindergarten in the fall. So lets enjoy this time off. Give me some pointers that make you a successful momma! Thanks.

Spring Break

Last night we arrived home from spring break, beach camping in Florida with some friends, I have never seen a baby so happy to see his bed. Adam snuggled in and didn't look up. We had an adventure and loved it. The place we stayed had a bay on one side, just 10 feet from camp. And the beach side just a short walk or drive from camp. We went Geocaching and got treasures. It was the first time we have done it. It is lots of fun. We had a testimony meeting and went to conference in the tiniest branch I have ever seen. The kitchen and media center were the same room about the size of my bathroom.

Shay fished and fished but never caught a thing.

Skyler was with his buddy, Joe. They caught horseshoe crabs, hermit crabs, ghost crabs, and some other type we are not sure what it is called. They wandered around and had their own tent. Skyler rated the vacation a 9 because of the bugs and he got sunburned.

K had so much fun with their 12 yr old girl and later hit it off with Joes younger brother. They played Harry Potter and dug in the sand. She rated it a 9 because she also got sunburned.

Jane got lost in the woods and was scared by a deer. But thanks to playing with the "big girl" she rated it a 10.

Elly threw LOTS of fits for reasons like, there is sand in my shoes, or that she wanted to be carried. That was exhausting. But she still gave the vacation a 9.

Adam was free to roam and eat sand. He was so happy, even when his food was covered in sand, which happened often. He slept well and was all smiles.

I enjoyed it and only cleaned the tent a couple of times, which is a huge improvement over last time we went and I cleaned it probably 10 X a day. I would definately do it again.

We were so glad for the envite and had an amazing time.
