Crazy Busy

I know, I know... it's been awhile! Really, when I say "crazy busy", I mean it! So much going on, besides work... home life has been a whirlwind!!

May just flew by, what with chaperoning the class field trip; the awards dinner for my daughter (who won a school district wide writing contest... and she's NINE!!); trying to get my garden to come to life; searching high & low for the perfect "pool book"; flea markets & yard sales...

then, there's a small matter of the stray cat that showed up at my door... then "mysteriously" became pregnant & has adopted US... I'm quite possitive the culprit in this little mystery is my outdoor tom cat... at any rate, we now seem to have 2 outdoor cats & a few kittens! The kittens were born Tues, June 1st & she has them hidden pretty well, so I'm still not sure how many extra mouths we will be feeding in a couple months. *Deep Sigh**

Planning summer has also become quite a chore. Juggling all the activities my daughter has talked me into... and then clearing everything with my ex mom-in-law, who still "babysits" for me... there's tennis camp, girl scout camp, swim lessons, exercise classes, six flags, the local water park, horse back riding lessons... OH... and a trip to Tennessee AND another trip to Mississippi... whew... I'm getting tired just thinking of it all... I'm just thankful for a full time job right now, because #1) she's costing me a ton of money this summer and #2) there's a LOT of running her around from here to there. All summer long.

My saving grace is now that the pool is open, we will continue our summer ritual of every weekend at the pool! From open to close! And she's at the perfect age to let me relax & read my pool book while she splashes away in the water all day!! =D

I'm not sure how often I'll make it on here, and doubtful that I'll do anything creative or crafty for the next couple of months... I hope you all enjoy the summer as much as I will!
