School Days Are Here Again

I can not believe school has already started - this summer just flew by. I am so proud of my kids, they both do very well in school which is an answer to prayer - we have prayed ever since they were little to retain the knowledge. Both are in honors classes, our daughter is in high school and part of the A+ program; our son is in junior high. Sis is on the golf team - much to her father's delight and Bub is anxiously awaiting school basketball to start (so is Mom). This year is going to be quite nerve-wracking for me since Sis will have her license in just a few short weeks; that is if I let her. LOL. (She doesn't find that funny.) I am very blessed to have two amazing kids and am witnessing them grow into awesome young adults - they are alot of fun and make me laugh every day. (They get their wit from Mom - all the good traits come from Mom - LOL)

Things are still crazy around here as usual...work has been very busy, not to mention trying to get back in routine with school starting, golf practice every day, basketball practice still 1-2 times a week, we have had Awana training all month at church, our women's ministry is planning a women's retreat for the first weekend in October, the mission trip coming up way too fast, and my husband is now on vacation replacement at work so he rebids his job every week - I have to keep my schedule open for the kids' activities since we don't know from week to week what his schedule will be. We also have 4 major birthdays this month - our cousin's precious little girl from China turned 4 on the 18th, one of my beautiful nieces turned 6 on the 11th, my father-n-law turns 60 on the 26th, and my amazing grandmother - who I only wish I had half of her strength and determination - is turning 90 on the 31st. Oh, please don't think I am complaining, (although I may be a little - sorry) busy is good, I actually think I thrive better under stress - although, maybe not since I think I just wrote all of that to make me feel better for not having anything done (and it kind of worked - for a while). On that note, I had better wrap up and try to accomplish something domestic - like laundry. (Can you really accomplish that?)
