Brigitte is really enjoying her ice capades summer camp this week and tomorrow we are going to see the new american girl movie "Kit Kittredge". Cyndi and Madysen will go with us, as well as the girls american girl dolls. Then next week Cyndi, Melina, Rebecca and myself will all be attending an American Mothers Inc. thing together at Maddox, yummy!!!!
Last night I worked my second mid in a row and then I have the rest of today and tomorrow off and then more overtime Thursday night. This is my last scheduled overtime until I start my new schedule July 20 so that should be a nice break. At least I should have a chance to visit with Adam and Maria a little while they are here.
I was also hoping to be able to finish painting cabinets, then there are chairs to repaint and reupholster, and always smaller projects waiting to be finished. Is it just me or does everyone else seem to overshedule themselves too!!! Next week I am on my own with activity days, since my partner is having her new baby, yeah!!! I keep trying to remember this will all end soon enough and then I will be wishing for more to do. It's the neverending cycle of too much and not enough that seems to be the way things work for me.
While John's work slows down here in a few weeks, I am hoping to be able to play some golf with him. I am just beginning to learn, but it is sooooo much fun! Talitha is just getting into it too, so we hope to be able to go out together a few times this summer.
Brigitte and I are trying to get ready to run a 5k in august, so last night we ran to the park and then played frisbee with some of her friends before I left for work. She really did awesome on the way down. The way home was a little more difficult. Tonight we will ride our bikes to prepare for the 10 mile ride on July 24th in Kaysville. Summer is supposed to be more active, wouldn't want anyone to be too bored!
With so much to do I try to remember to "simplify"!! Not always easy, but something I have found really helps keep things in perspective.

Woo-Hoo! You did it! I can't even tell you how happy I am that I will someone I actually KNOW in person to blog with. I have a few friends that do this but not many. But it has been way fun to meet people this way too.

I like the keep it simple name. I NEED TO LIVE BY THAT! UGH! The story of my life is to NOT keep it simple! I got it from my mom because I having been working on this anniversary book now for weeks...until 3:30 a.m last night! ANd she just keeps giving me MORE photos! Like everyday! UGH! AT this rate it will never get done! Sounds like a great blog post only I am so sick of it that I may never want to look at it if it ever gets done!
Just venting ....sorry!
