The Craziness of Life!

I'm a swirl of emotions lately. How can my sweet baby boy be 10 months already?!! Have we really been in our new house for almost a year? Has it already been 10 years since I pleged my love to my best friend, forever?! Well, tomorrow will be our 10th wedding anniversary. It has been quite a ride.

We have been so busy the last year, I really just want to take time off from life. I'm I the only one that feels that way? I wish we could take a month long vacation with our kids this summer and just be a family. Work and school and family obligations seem to take up so much time. There is always something going on. Our weekends are so full there is barely time for laundry. Let alone have time to really clean the monster of a house we live in. Don't get me wrong, I love my house. But the task of cleaning it just overwhelms me. I haven't been able to clean it top to bottom all at once since we moved in. Maybe this long weekend will allow me to get a handle on things.

The kids are growing up way too fast. Hailey is be coming a young lady way faster than Bill and I want her too. I resently had THE TALK with her about how she is changing. I was surprised at how open she was to asking questions. I did my best to answer them without getting too beyond what she needs to know. I found some cool little books at the Christian book store that helped. I read one of the books and let her read certian chapters out of the book. Then she was able to ask me about stuff she didn't understand. Bill and I decided we would rather talk to our kids about these things than let them learn from other kids that don't know what they are talking about.

Bill is doing great with his new position at Southwest Gas. It has been a learning experience for him. They have so many training classes that he has to go through. But we are both learning from them. He shares the good stuff about the classes with me. Since we are both in management type positions, I am able to gain some info from them too.

I can't believe that the school year is almost over. I'm going to have a 4th grader!! Holy Cow!! Happy Memorial day!
