My Exciting Life!

Mary Kate took this picture while lounging on the grass under our tree.

I’ve missed blogging these last few weeks. This blog has become a place were I come and write about things that matter to me, a place to collect and organize my thoughts, a place to record memories large and small, a place to celebrate the good things in life. Lately though, I haven’t been able to think of exactly what to blog about. It’s not that there isn’t anything going one, quite the contrary; life is busy, good busy, full of random happenings and goings-on.

The problem is, I seem to take after my mother, in that I tend to have a serious one-track mind. If I get an idea stirring up there, an idea(s) about important things (like a big, life changing decisions that needs to be made for instance) I can’t seem to think of anything else. These last few weeks I’ve been in that type of head space. Distracted is not a strong enough word for what I’ve been lately. Thankfully the idea/decison that was consuming me has been put aside for now and I feel like I can focus on other things. I feel like myself again. What a relief.

Now back to the business of day-to-day. I’ve got things to do baby!

Like…

-planning the boy’s baptism day (coming up very soon)
-staining our fence and deck (they need it BAD)
-working out a summer chore plan for my kids (summer is just days away and I need to be ready)
-organizing the ginormous stack of papers and files that are piled up and tipping over in my office
-playing tennis with Michelle and Claudia (I really stink at tennis, but I’ve signed up for lessons and I’m determined to improve)
-cooking meals for the fam (oh boy have I been way lazy about this, cooking is always the first things go when I’m distracted)
-figuring out what to the get the teachers for end of year gifts (I think I have a pretty good idea)
-getting my visiting teaching done (miss my visiting teaching sisters)
-preparing my talk for sacrament meeting on Sunday
-getting a hair cut (I’m about to shave it all off myself because it’s so terribly in need of TLC, Bryan here I come!)

I’m going to be checking things off my list and getting them squared away. I’ve been looking over our summer calendar and it’s going to be a busy, full of good times, just as summer should be. I want to be ready to savor it!

Bring it on, summer!
