A Little Catching Up To Do
Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening.
This week has just flown by and I have not had the time to visit the blogs I read. I have quite a few posts that need to be read, waiting over in my bloglines account right now. (174 is a few right??)
I have been exhausted this week. When I finally find a few moments to sit and relax, I tend to start falling asleep. I got a two hour nap this afternoon tho and so I am able to enjoy a few moments here with my blog.
(BTW: what fun is a new computer if I rarely get the chance to use it??)
My camera has been having a few problems. I shouldn't be overly surprised by this fact, but I find myself talking to it before I turn it on. "Please work for mama today. I need to take some pictures of the kids swim team." The silly camera has yet to listen to me and I am beginning to think it just doesn't like me. After all, it is three years old now, it should be past that terrible two's stage. Of course, it could just be that the life span of a digital camera is rather short, especially when it is tormented by being dropped, played with by the toddler, and being smacked when it is failing to perform properly. How do I convince the camera to keep working a bit longer? It hasn't been impressed with my, "We just bought a computer" argument.
My children have really been enjoying swim lessons and dive/swim teams. Deborah (6 yr-old) is on the dive team. I always thought it would be second nature for her as she has always been my little daredevil. She has come pretty far with it, but still isn't diving, just jumping. Last Tuesday was her first Dive Meet. She tied for second place. Heather (10 yr-old) and Dale (8yr-old) are on the swim team. I am thinking it might have been a good idea to start them on the swim team in previous years but hindsight is oh so clear isn't it. They are both really enjoying it. Their first Swim Meet was yesterday (Thurs). They both received four ribbons. I look forward to watching them over the upcoming competitions. They have improved so much in just the firt two weeks of the season.
Robert (2 yr-old) and Brandon (11 mo-old) both started swim lessons too. Robert has adjusted well and now likes his teacher instead of running and screaming when she walks by. Brandon is still adjusting to the whole idea of it but I hope he will be enjoying it by the end of the next two week session.
We haven't been home much this week. The house as a result has taken quite a beating. Having to get up at 6:30am has put a huge damper on my ability to stay up late and catch up on housework. I know that is what my plan is tonight tho. So, if you are up around midnight, think of me. Maybe drop me a comment of encouragement at that time to keep me going. LOL I was always so organized at work. Housework...just isn't the same.

Good evening to you too!!! I know what it's like to be behind in your blogging. It's very sad.
Sit down and fall asleep? I sat down on the couch earlier this evening ... and then woke up an hour later all bent over. (no my neck doesn't hurt)
Hang in there with the housework!!!
Ava
I can hear my floors calling me saying, vacuum me, mop me right now. They're going to have to wait for morning.
We start swim lessons on Monday. The kids can't wait. As for house work - I hear ya. I usually do some cleaning after the kids go to bed too. Tonight my husband took over so I could go to the craft store alone. So nice. I'll be thinkin' of you while I crop and make my own mess!
Our swim lessons start in early July. We have an association swimming pool which Mr. P loves, so I think it will go very well.
As for housework, no it isn't the same AT ALL.
Someone said (can't remember who but well known). I clean, I mop, I dust and then six months later I just have to do it all over again.
Or something like that.
I think we're in the same time zone (you're still on standard time, right?) so I'll be up and thinking about you toiling away.
Unless you change your mind.
Hugs.
It's midnight..and I'm up!
I haven't been up this late in weeks. I've been too tired. But I can only take so much chaos.
Granny- Yep we are on the same time. For half of the year anyway. We Arizona people don't do daylight savings. We prefer the sun to go down! Then it gets cooler...LOL
It's 4:30a.m. and I'm up too. Blast!
I feel ya, baby. I feel ya.
Well I WAS up around midnight, but I read this after-the-fact, so I didn't think of you. I had 5 giggling girls trying to fall asleep at a sleepover birthday party, so I was thinking more about them. :-)
I was with you this past week. When I finally got home from work, I couldn't manage to do a darn thing. I've been able to catch up on a few things this weekend. I really don't know how moms do it. Maybe it's better that I'm not one!
I was up to over 200 posts in Bloglines about a week back. That was about the time I posted about possibly quitting the blog -- you can tell I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by it all. As if motherhood isn't overwhelming enough! (laundry, chores, swimming lessons...)
