summer

School is out and summer begins. I thought I was going to be so motivated to get projects done and clean out my proverbial corners, but so far, I haven't really gotten much accomplished. I have, however, got the kids practicing, reading, doing a few chores, and playing baseball. So, not too bad in the parenting department. The main thing I have been telling myself I need to do is get up early and go walking, but not much happening in the exercise department. I crave the sleep-in time. I'll get it together one of these days...

Ginny quote of the day..."Mom, what year were you born?" (Long pause from mother, who was really not listening and thinking about something else...) When she didn't get a response, Ginny said, "That's okay, that must be really hard to remember something from that long ago."

I told that story to my Dad today, and he had to ask what I am turning this year on my birthday, which he knows the answer to very well...it's a big one this year, and I'm going to celebrate! Not until October, though, I'm happy to remain 30-something until then.
