Another Random Thoughts Post... Hmm..where has my focus gone?

Hello blogging world. I just finished going through my bloglines list. I had so much to catch up on. I missed the computer today. I liked Hope's suggestion though about using the time sans computer to do all the summertime mommy things.

Next Monday swim lessons start up. The kids are also signed up to participate on the swimteam. This means, I get to show up at the pool at 8am. Those who really know me are going to get a chuckle out of this fact. I am not an early riser. So I have the plan in place on getting everything ready the night before so the kids and I can just stumble out to the van to get there on time. Who am I kidding? Half of the kids get up at 6am when Daddy leaves for work. Their windows face east. Their curtains and the huge bush in front of their windows can only do so much to fight against that summer sun.

I am tired tonight. We got to go to my son's pack meeting. Yes, my son is a cubscout. His grandma is the Cub Master. She is very excited to have her first grandson join in the fun. All the kids had such a blast. I was sitting there wondering about the score in the Suns game. LOL The passion for scouting is not a genetic thing. But my son loves every part of it. Maybe it skips a generation.

The Suns by the way found their energy again and beat the Mavericks 106 to 86. It felt so good after the game 3 loss they suffered on Sunday. Bring on game 5 on Thursday!!

My sister is heading out of town for three days this week. She is leaving her husband with their four children. I have offered to watch the kids on Thursday so that he will only have to take one day off of work this week. My house is not very big. Having 9 children here all day will be a test of every nerve. I think I will need to plan some activities tomorrow for Thursday. The oldest child is my 10 yr-old daughter the youngest is my 10 mo-old son. Which means, I will have:
-a 10 yr-old,
-a 8 yr-old,
-a 7 yr-old,
-two 6 yr-olds,
-a 4 yr-old,
-a 2 yr-old,
-an almost 1 yr-old (he is fives weeks to the day older than my baby)
-and my 10 mo-old.

They all love each other tremendously. It will be a fun day..if one that needs to be planned out.

I really appreciate all your comments about my computer woes. I really do have a wonderful husband. He has gone to bed and didn't complain even once while I monopolized the use of his laptop all night.

G'nite!
