Time For A Quick Explanation

Hi there,

I wanted to apologize for my sporadic posting recently. Summer arrived with a bang.....

Before the children finished school I decided to have a huge three day garage sale and we all know how time consuming and "all" consuming those are. On day one, some of you will remember that my husband was in a nasty car accident - thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and cards - we truly appreciate everything. UPDATE - My right hand man is doing much better, although he still has a cast on his broken hand which is amazingly swollen still - of course he's left handed and it's his left hand, but truthfully he's doing great and we've all adjusted to our new situation.

As soon as school finished my life took on a whole new look - My children who'd always been happy to spend summers in the back yard in the paddling pool suddenly have a life of their own - they both decided to join our local swim team, which means early morning practices EVERY morning, plus swim lessons at our pool are FREE and so of course I couldn't miss that opportunity and then of course tennis was insanely inexpensive and so they decided to try lessons too, then there's skating, which is their winter sport but which continues through June and of course it's baseball season and my son just had to be on a baseball team too. Being on swim team has meant three afternoon/evening swim meets a week so far and so that takes up a huge chunk of time. Are you exhausted from reading this yet?

I'm happy to report that I have a giant smile on my face and although I make picnics, drive children, wash every day and try to keep all the schedules strait without coming up for air, I'm having more fun than I can honestly show in this post, just watching my children experience their best summer ever!
