Be sure to read all the way down =)
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day (if you are a Mom). I approach Mother’s day cautiously, I have learned while living in a house of all males you just never know what awaits you. I was showered with love and affection from my boys and husband, but I am the type of person who loves to be told they are appreciated during unexpected times of the year. I don’t like the commercialism and expectations that come with Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Secretary’s Day, etc… surprise me throughout the year. =)
But it is never good practice to spring a paper you have been putting off on Mom on Mother’s Day. One of my sons did that to me yesterday, it was not a happy moment. yiyiyi
We are approaching our last basketball game for my two middle school sons and as the schedule would have it, they play against each other. Both teams want to win very badly and I want to cover my eyes and ask “is it over yet?” I will make sure I won’t wear any of the teams colors because I will be cheering for whichever son is on the floor, not what team is playing.
I can not believe it is almost summer time. Summer time in my house means, food consumed in large quantities because the kids are home more, a house that is never picked up, and tons of boys coming and going at all times of the day (and usually they are stinky, sweaty because they had been playing basketball). Honestly I do mop my floors, but sometimes I wonder why I bother since they do not even stay clean for a day. I know, I know Mom, I will miss this.
My oldest son can apply for his drivers license here in a few weeks (even though he is already 16, in Florida you have to wait one year from the time you get your learners permit before you can get your license). My insurance bill will skyrocket along with my nerves. Maybe I should buy some stock in Nice-n-Easy. =)
We enter this summer with everything up in the air. Usually we travel up to Minnesota every summer, but even that is up in the air. God has us waiting to see where he will lead. But I do know this summer will consist of basketball, basketball camps, basketball tournaments, and a Mom going crazy from tons of basketball. =)
- Good thing this crazy Mom is blessed with an awesome Mom who always listens to me babble on about how crazy my life is and I really need more girl stuff around me. Mom I know I called you yesterday but had to go quickly because of a certain paper that needed proofing yesterday. Just wanted say THANK YOU for always being there and listening to all my craziness. You KEEP me sane.
Blogging is going to probably be light, I am writing only as the Lord leads right now. But you can always catch me on Facebook, that is where I check in the most and try to keep up with everyone. And I am still very active on my book review site! I am sitting here now taking a break from a book I just received today and have already read half the book. Some great books coming up you won’t want to miss.
Here are some things I leave you with:
I have made a list of 10 books that would make great summer reads. It was hard to just list 10!!
