Schools Out!

Okay so it is finally here--no more school for the summer. (Am I the only one who thinks time flie faster with each passing year?) I have mixed feelings--I am such a creature of routine--I do laundry on Mon. and Thurs. I grocery shop on Mon., I try to do office work on Wed. and Friday. Now that school is out I need to get used to a whole new routine that involves five children home ALL day. I need to put "making lunch for five kids" into my routine. Part of me is so happy they will be home and another part is counting the days until the first day of school. (Actually, not yet!)

I guess the only constant in life is change. I'll make sure to put that into my routine.:):)

My Mom

For those of you who don't know, my wonderful mother passed away on April 19, 2009. She was 79 years old. Her wonderful second husband, Buford, took great care of her until the end. She was a wonderful mother of 7 children--I am the youngest and I will miss her greatly. I don't think it has hit me yet that she is gone. One comfort is that she is in a much better place and she is with my dad. I'm sure they are celebrating together. I love you, Mom!
