Going away for awhile

Hello Blog Friends! :) I've had a few snide comments from people that I really need to update my blog, so here goes...

My kids are in Florida. I couldn't ask for a more relaxing break (well, unless I was in the Bahamas I guess!). I have done almost nothing. I have cleaned almost nothing. I have watched a lot of junk tv, and read some books that don't have Dr. Suess mentioned in them anywhere. I've tried to eat leaner (with Lean Cuisine microwave meals), and I have done some exercise almost daily. I've mowed my own lawn (hurry home Andrew and Jessy!!!) And, I've lost 2 pounds.
Honestly, I didn't realize how much my kids add to my life until they are gone. Somedays I feel very overwhelmed with all I have to do when they're here, but when they're gone....it's almost like all the pressure to accomplish anything is also gone!

But, them being gone also gives me freedom to take off. So, today I'm leaving to go to my cousins wedding shower/bachelorette party. This is something I never would have attended if my kids were here, so I decided to take advantage of my situation. I'll be back Sunday night.

And then the kids will be back Tuesday, summer school is finished on Wednesday, and we're leaving Thursday for Iowa for the 4th of July (with my brother...yah!!!!), and after that, it's up to Duluth, MN for my parents' 60th Birthday party and family fun week. Wow, I have a very busy couple weeks ahead, and I'll probably not update here till I get back because we have very spotty internet connections at the cabin. As a side note, Jessy will have been to 6 states in 4 weeks...not counting the states they drove through to get to Florida!!!! (Washington, Alaska, Florida, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri) I bet she'll be ready to be home!

So, if you don't hear from me, it's not because I'm out riding my bike, but if I don't update by the 15th, you may want to start checking the bears in Minnesota...they may have had a snack! :)

(Sorry this is not a very good blog post....I really just don't have a lot to say!)

See you in July! :)

  1. Now who would possibly be rude enough to tell you your blog needs updating ;p

    Doing nothing sounds like a wonderful break but I can see you'd be missing the kids too. Recharge your batteries ready for your busy time ahead.

    To All....Honestly, that comment hit a nerve, so I want to offically apologize. I did not mean it in a mean way, as I'm sure the comments to me were not meant in a mean way!! I'm very sorry if I hurt anyone....please keep posting comments...I really do take them in the spirit I know is intended!! I love reading what you have to say to me! :)
