Hurry up summer!!!!

Oh I can hardly wait for summer! I love it when the pool is open and the kids and I can spend all day swimming and gardening until it is time to BBQ for dinner ;) it is the only time I feel guilty that matt goes off to work each day! It makes up for all the crying, depression, grouchiness, small apartment dwelling, and flu seasons of the rest of the year :) And when you spend that much time in your swimsuit (warning: missionaries are likely to catch you off guard) you don't even care too much about how you look, it is just nice to let your skin breath and soak in some Vit. D!!!!!!

company...

In a few weeks I have my dad and (hopefully) brother for a day and my sister and her two girls for 3 days. Before then I have to:

scrape, fix, paint the bathroom
lose 40 lbs.
get rid of all my junk
make my home beautiful
get my kids to stop fighting and yelling and being so energetic
give up chocolate
NOT have a flood (which then makes all my garage overflow move back into my home)
get "E" to have all her sight words memorized
convince "A" that he does not need to be a "tooty-boy"
find a way to handle stress that is not self debilitating

....or give up to the reality of my life.

just busy...

my life used to be interesting and exciting...now I'm just busy. I'm in a rut, but too busy to get out of it. I need something exciting or humorous to blog about. That is why I never blog...there's nothing to share! oh wait, there's my calling...but I can't share about that! When did I get so boring? In collage (okay, and high school) I was throwing all the parties and dating all the guys and involved with all my friends...oh, and usually I went to class. Now I'm boring. oh well. I'm a mom. I guess in two years when my kids are both in school I can become some version of my previous self?
What in your life do you consider exciting or thrilling? Maybe my perception is off?
