This past weekend we started our 'crazy season'. Both boys are playing soccer, Trenton practices on Tuesdays, Ryan on Wednesday, Chris bowls on Thursdays and then each boy had a game on Saturday and Trenton had one on Sunday which was after lunch at mom and dad's... wow that is a tiring week and weekend!
We are getting ready for a trip to Cinci to see his family of course, but to also see the WEBN fireworks.. I am excited about that.. I love fireworks.. they are so romantic in a dorky sort of way!!!
Jim should officially be a single didget midget now... not sure that I spelled that right, but he should be down to 9 days before he gets to come home from Djibouti. We are thrilled beyond words. It has been a tough 9 months for his family and for everyone and I am sure for him. I personally have missed him more than I ever imagined and I am sure Chris has as well. For my own selfish reasons too, it will be nice have him home... its been a tough year on Chris having his best friend so very very far away.....

Just when I was getting good...
At posting... I got slack! And now its been an entire week!
Last week was quite busy, work has kept me busy, I am on-call and doing bits and pieces of several people's jobs. I should find it exhilerating and normally I do, but its also stressing me out right now. Not real sure why... guess maybe I just need to slow my brain down a bit.
This past weekend was a fabulous weekend. Chris and I took our first real 'Spyder Ride' and met up with a group of Spyders and did some riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway and through some twisty curvy roads. It was GREAT! We had a nice lunch in Mt. Airy NC famous for The Andy Griffith show and after a few more rides through the foothills, headed on home! It was a great day overall and just one of those days when you truly feel that all is well with the world.
The experience was exhilerating, the day was gorgeous, the views were beautiful and the people were just oh so nice.... what more can you really ask for?

Long Day ~
I am tired and I am frustrated. I have to remind myself that life is a series of challenges and that it's how I handle myself and how I teach my child to handle these 'challenges' that is what really counts in the whole big scheme of the world as we know it.
Still, it gets tiring.. and I am ... just drained.

Rough Week ~
It's been a rough week so far ~ Monday night I was at work till 11pm.. got home and layed down for 15 mins and then right back up and working until after 4am. The good news is that after all of that and 2 days of complete and total fall out from being down for over 12 hours.. we are starting to get back to normal. It's been rough, but it's getting better!
Trenton has spent the last week with his daddy in PA visiting family... I miss him sooo much and am soo ready for him to come home! I just got off the phone with him and they are leaving in a couple of hours and should be home by lunch time or so tomorrow! I can't wait to go pick him up!!!!
Things here are good, just decisions need to be made with the other young boy in the house... and that means some rough roads ahead maybe.... time will tell!!!
Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend with the boys though.. and some old friends coming over for a cookout Saturday night.

I love my life ~
Another fantastic weekend in the books ~
Friday night was the successful wine party ~ where of course lots of wine was had, as well as the bottle of dessert wine that I finished off!!! Good food, good drinks, great friends ~ I really am a lucky girl. Plus a portion of the proceeds goes to support Urban Ministries of Wake County, a local charity which helps people HERE in need.
Saturday was some volunteer work as Chris and I volunteered through SAS to help collect school supplies for children in need through the Communities in School organization. We had this on our list of things to do this year, more volunteer work.
Saturday night, we celebrated ~ with the Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift concert. We just had lawn seats, but it was a sold out show and was fantastic!! We had a great time!!
Sunday was a nice bike ride all through Johnston County, with a stop in Clayton for dinner and then a stop in Fuquay to visit Kristin, Todd and the kids and then on home. Chris is working, we are watching tv and just enjoying the end to a WONDERFUL weekend!
Trenton comes home Wednesday ~ I miss him lots, but he is having fun!!!
