The question is......
Will I survive Summer Vacation?
I have to say I love it when the kids are home, I sleep in, they get their own breakfast, we spend lots of unscheduled time together.
What could be better?
If Kent got to spend the summer with us.
Then there would be adventure, shopping trips, a co-judge/monitor/chef/driver/helper/parent!
I am jealous of the French, they average about 2 full months a year in vacation time.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
I have few plans just for me this summer, maybe I will need to sneak a few in,
Any suggestions?

40!
The time has come or should I say the time has gone!!!!
I am officially 40 years old, it happened just a week or so ago! Surprisingly it came and went with out incident, no crazy surprises embarrassing moments or anything else of the kind! It was just a splendid weekend with my family filled with our usual mom's birthday adventures.
As I lay in bed on Sunday night reminiscing about the long weekend and how wonderful it had been, I suddenly became acutely aware of just how many years I had been on this lovely Earth and how quickly the time had passed. Although I hope to have lots ahead of me , I've suddenly realized how much was behind me! To say the least I ached for a life I haven't finished living, I want to slow the clock and soak in as much of the time I have left as I can. It may sound silly but I seriously felt dread.
You know that story of the painting with the dark spots that when you are in a dark spot you can't see the whole picture? Well I felt as though I stepped back and it was half painted and I was wondering how so much was already done!
So that's where I am pondering where 40 years have gone and where the next 40 will bring me.

Avoiding my resposibilities!
You would think we had a new baby in the house the way I have been avoiding my responsibilities lately! I must be in a selfish rut or something. I seem to be able to waste time lately like there is no need to plan it!
Laundry what is that?
Dinner? Oh you want me to cook? I didn't thaw anything!
Do you think you could help Joe with his homework tonight?
Yawn.
For some reason the only time I feel awake is when everyone else has gone to bed, so if you are looking for me I am too! Until we meet I'll be pinching myself to wake up!
