This week

We have had 4 nights with friends over for dinner.

Three of those 4 nights included swimming, the fourth was Sunday.

Thursday, my car grumbled at me, so we took it to the shop. It didn't grumble for them.

Friday, I picked up my car.

Saturday, we ran errands in my car. It grumbled a little in the beginning but was fine the rest of the day.

Sunday, as we are trying to leave for church, it grumbled and smoked. The four older boys and I switched over to Bryan's car and left Bryan and Luke to figure out my car.

Bryan and I got part of the front weeded and covered with weed cloth and rubber bark. What we got done looks so good. I'm excited for the rest to be done but not excited to be doing it in the heat.

I actually went swimming. After doing a few hours of yard work. I got Benjamin ready to swim and we went without the other boys for a good 5 minutes. It was 9:30PM.

The other boys hurried out as soon as they realized we were out there. Well, Adam stayed in for a few minutes feeding Luke a bottle and getting him to sleep and watching Scooby Doo.

I really like the Olympics. I don't like how unproductive they make us.

I like having people over.

I just wish the cleaning fairy didn't take so long to get here. I can't handle the mess for that long and end up cleaning before she shows up.

Right Now

I am...

- waiting for dinner to be ready. Bryan is cooking a roast, I guess I should be working on the things to eat with it.

- slowly waking up from my nap that I quickly got out of bed but wasn't quite awake.

- enjoying having a sleeping baby next to me. He is the reason I physically was up quickly but mentally I was still asleep.

- trying to figure out life...too much time to think while boys play nicely (or not) while I'm feeding a baby or lifeguarding.

-thinking I still need to get on Wheel of Fortune. Preferably with Bryan, he is better than me at the toss ups and bonus rounds.

- wishing Adam could already be on his 8-year-old trip. I think it would be so fun for him to be there with his cousin.

- wishing west Texas wasn't there. It would make the drive SO much better. (I'm really just wanting the drive to be half of what it is now...that isn't too much to ask, is it?)

- thinking I should blog from a desktop so there are photos. finally.

- thinking I should make a meal plan this week. It would be something I haven't done in a while but I should do it.

- trying to think about the logistics of the 4th of July.

- working on setting up my VT already. I hate waiting until the end of the month. I don't like people to think I'm doing to it for the "numbers." If it was about the numbers, I wouldn't do it. I do it because I think there are reasons why we are suppose to meet with each other each month. And sometimes it is just because some of us (mostly me) would be okay being at home with the "occasional" trip to Sonic or McDs. But my kids need friends. And I should make friends. And this is an "easy" way to do that.

- trying to get the boys excited about soccer. It is going to be hot when soccer starts up again.

- needing to remember about swimming lessons.

- wishing I played the lotto, so I could win the lotto...sports x3 and they want more than one sport so it should be x6. Or x10!

- now I'm thinking how I can earn some extra cash to pay for sports.

- now rambling.
