It's almost 3:00. Kiddos are coming home right now. They had Monday off from school and it was Monday night that I fully realized I am ready for summer. Not the intense heat, necessarily . . .this weather suits me just fine. No, but I am ready to have the kiddos home with me. I'm ready for the schedule to lax a bit, hoping to read some good books with them, and excited to see what adventures we might have.
Speaking of adventures . . . hubby has a job interview in Blanding Utah. That could be an adventure. Course he needs to get the job first. I'm trying not to count my chickens before they hatch. But seeing it's the only prospect he has right now, I might be jumping the gun a bit. Not sure how I feel about moving or about moving to Blanding, but a job is a job is a job . . . especially in this economy.
I want to learn how to garden. I am clueless when it comes to this area. Completely clueless. But I have decided I want to learn and I want to do it. When we figure out where we are going job wise, that is going to be the next thing I want to conquer. That and debt. And our lack of food storage. Might take me a while.
A friend I've had for ten years now came over to visit this morning. It amazes me we have known each other that long. Ten years have flown. The older I get, the more a year is just a blink. And when I know where my children will be in 10 years, I get a little sad. Not a lot sad cause I'm excited to see what life holds for them--just a little sad.
I'm craving a baby boy. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my baby girls, but it has been a long time since my little boys were baby boys. mmmmm . . . there is something about a baby boy. I teared up the other day thinking about them when they were little. How the time is flying by. A part of me longs to press pause and relive it all again--with the knowledge, patience, and other stuff I have accumulated along the way. (well, except maybe those extra pounds that may never completely go away. I could do without those I believe.) Yeah, being a mommy can be hard. But it is worth it in so many, many ways.

I was so happy to see a new post. I love reading your thoughts. I too am ready for summer and the lack of schedule we will have. Gardening is fun but different where ever you live. It would be great and very even if you had a boy this time! Just like I would tell my children before Kalea was born "Heavenly Father knows who is best for your family" So what ever it is--boy or girl-- they will be just perfect.
I hate that I forget about this blog. But when I remember I love reading it. I think I am ready for summer also. The hot, hot heat is hard at times. But I love being outdoors when it is warmer.
I have been craving a little boy as well. Except I'm not prego!
I know a job is a job and I hope that he is able to get one that he will be happy with, but I sure do hope that it is close by. I am getting so used to the fact that you are just down the road and I just LOVE, LOVE it! Not just because you help me with my kids. But because our kids can play together, going to your kids activities, and other random things that you can't do far away!
I love gardening. The little that I know at least. I love the feeling that you are eating something that you grew! It tastes so much better! If you stay we can work on one together! :)
So fun to see a post from you again. We'll have to catch up!
I've been thinking of you and meaning to call you, but couldn't find your #. Did you find out if you're moving? You'll have to call or stop by!
