June - it just flew by.....

Can't believe that June is already over....it was a very eventful month for us.  Weddings, races, camps, you name it...there was always something going on.


The month started with someone I hold close to my heart getting married.  It was a beautiful wedding and I wish them nothing but the best.  That same weekend my oldest had a race.  Ended up coming home with a 1st & 3rd place overall!  We were so very proud but also sad that we couldn't be there to watch him do so well.  But the following weekend we had his regular TORN race and it was the first time ever that he came home with 2 - 1st place wins!!!!!  He just continues to amaze us with his racing ability.


The following weekend we had a Father's Day Celebration ~ had a wonderful time and great food and great memories!


Then the next week I was about to become the mother of a teenager!!!!  Seriously?!?!?!  What happened to my baby?  And who is this hormonal thing that now lives in my house????  :-)


I hope he had a great birthday week....he spent it at a motocross camp and ended it with a birthday party with his fellow "hospital" brother as we call him.  (they both ride/race together)  Then it was off to another race....came home with a 2nd place on Saturday....and a 1st & 3rd on Sunday!  


By now, I'm starting to get really worn out!!!!  But the month isn't over yet!  All this week my princess has been in art/craft camp.  Thank goodness for my mom and her taxi cab skills!! ;-)  I'm beginning to think that I need a wife...a stay at home wife!!!


This weekend will bring June to a close...princess will be leaving for her dad's for the month.  Teenager has a race and then he too will be leaving for the month.  Maybe July won't be as busy, but I sure hope it goes by just a fast....so I will have my full nest again!


Hope everyone has a great weekend!

BuffMother in Training

Well I'm taking a chance and starting something new that I found on the good ole internet.....BuffMother Hormonal Timing.  I've been working out consistently for 18 weeks and still have a long ways to go.

I'm hopeful that this will help get me there.  I'll try and keep updating my progress.

Have a great day!

Trying to get this...

I'm trying to be better at posting things here.  I'm working on a few things that hopefully will become easier as I figure them all out.  Be patient.....I'll get there.  :-)

Never Enough Time in the Day...

Has anyone out there really mastered the art of time management? I'm beginning to think not. Or at least not if you are a working momma. I try and I try and I try and still seem to fail at getting everything accomplished. My to-do lists seem to multiply instead of go away. And I have multiple ones.
Laundry is never done - there seems to always be dishes left even after you've washed them all. I swear I can dust only to walk out of the room and back to find it there again. Same goes with the floors - vacuum, sweep - and come back and wonder where that footprint came from.
But my house is comfortable - my house is cozy - my house is lived in - when the ages range from 33 to 28 months and you throw in 3 dogs.....how could it be spotless all the time?
Is there really a way to get it all done? If so - I hope I figure it out. Or I need to figure out how to add more hours to each day or just add another day period. But then that would just be another day that I didn't get it all done. ;-)
At least I can say that I do accomplish getting my family fed and tucked away at night. They might not always have clean socks or underwear folded neatly in their drawers (isn't that what laundry baskets or in my house a chair is for) ;-) but I won't ever stop trying.
My ideal day:
Wake up
Workout
Kids to school and sitter
Go to work
Come home
Cook dinner
Clean kitchen
Housework/laundry
Bathe kids
Kids to bed
Computer time
Snuggle time
I don't think that type of day EVER happens exactly like we want cause LIFE happens. And how precious life is. And oh how I do love my family and friends that are my life.
So until I've mastered the art of time management I'm just gonna keep on a truckin' - keep on livin' - and maybe just maybe I'll have one of those ideal days! ;-)
