I don't know if this will come through, but it's The Kiwis headshots.  They're kinda cute!

So many thoughts, so little time...My New Year's resolution was to organize my house and my mind.  I'm just now getting to it.  Time does creep up on me.  I find myself saying things like, "Oh, my sister will be here in a month, that's plenty of time to clean my house".  And, yet, it's tomorrow, and the toilet is a mess.  "Oh, It's just the first week of summer, we have so much time to work on our reading.",  "I'll get to that as soon as I finish this"  "I'm on my way"  "It's on my list"  "Mom, can we go to the park?" "In a minute"  "Just a second"

Then, what happens to me...I have to sit.  I'll say, "Hang on, my cutie patooties, I need a time out"  So, off to the cupard to grab some chips, watch some "Ellen", laugh, dance, and again I go...Did the phone ring?
Wit looks so cool, doesn't he?  New guitar, Christmas Day.  2013
Have you ever eaten so many Pringles that they start to taste like Chinese food?  Me neither, until tonight, watching "The Voice".  Not a fan of chips or reality shows, but, The Kiwis are, so...We have fun together.  It's one week into summer and I'm missing school.  Yep, I miss The PTO.  I miss the alarm clock, that's a lie, I miss going to the grocery, sans kiddos.  How will we survive this summer?  It's a matter of adjustment, I think.  My cuties crawl into bed with me and say, "Mommy can we sleep with you?  It's not a school night?  Can we??"  Man, who am I to turn that love down.  Of course Chuck is very active in the night, it's like sleeping with an octopus, and he always sleeps in the middle. I'll wake up with a foot, or elbow in my face.  Ugh.  Then I remind myself that they are growing so fast, so big, that , next year, we will not be able to sleep together.  Sad.

I want to write more of this down.  I hope my kiddos will want to know me when I'm gone.

So, I thought that starting kindergarten would make my life easier.  I find myself at their school everyday, sometimes 4 times a day.  I'm not complaining, in fact, it's just the opposite, I love it.  I'm in The PTO, of course.  I'm fundraising for The Boosterthon Fun Run, passing out fliers in the school, adding up $, etc.   The Book Fair starts next week.  I love the theme, it's "Reading is Out of This World".  I'm helping build a rocket ship that will climb up a trail of lights that I got to count how many books are sold.  Funny.  My school is the coolest, and my kids are even cooler.  As I spend time at school, I'm getting to know the teachers, the "system".  And and they are getting to know me and my children.
