Randomness.........
Believe it or not... I'm ready for the 'garden' season.
Remember last fall, when I swore I would do something drastic, if I had to look at one more plum, tomato, or zucchini?
Yeh...
that passed.
I wanna make jam...
can spaghetti sauce...
bake zucchini bread....
try out new recipes......
and eat the fresh stuff.
I made plum/grape juice last year and I realize now I need to double my efforts this year. My kids LOVED that. I love that it's all natural. And so yummy.
--------
Work is good... I love my job.
My boss is great.. the girls I work with are great.
And it will all be changing the end of this month.
I have no idea what I'll be doing by then... but I guess I'll just play it by ear.
The only thing I don't love is missing my old routine with my kids.
But, we're finally finding our way.
With a new routine.
--------
Achilles still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up.
We kept things quiet for the most part, because we just didn't want his dad to know just yet, but he is working for a department store. Not very glamorous, but what's a gal to do.
I have made peace with it... and realize that we're making ends meet...and the Lord will bless us. If we can only be patient.
I'm really trying to be patient.
I am dying to have my own home...
but alas... there are worse things that we could be going through.
---------
We've been playing tennis these last 2 weeks.
I'm so rusty... it's humiliating.
We take our kids and they play in the next courts over... and I think they love it.
Achilleshas been working the net with me, which is something I really need. That and work on my serve. It's pathetic.
Oh well. Good excercise.
----------
The kids are doing well. Growing like weeds. And each day I realize how lucky I am to have them. They're so independent and really great about trying to get everything done and trying to help me make the work-out-of-the-home thing work. And we've been trying to spend quality time with them. It's hard to balance, but definately worth it.
---------
We had a wonderful visit from my favorite Aunt and Uncle recently...
It was far too short.
I love spending time with them so much.
They could totally understand my life, because so much of it was like their own.
I love when I have that connection.
They both gave me sage advice and I feel hope and happiness.
My Aunt turns 50 this month... and since she will be alone here in my neighborhood for work that weekend.. We're having a girls night. I'm so so excited about it.
Life- always moving.

You could totally beat me at tennis, if that makes you feel better.
Girls night, woot!!
You know, I've been thinking a lot about home ownership lately. I think there are some real negative things that come with home ownership, and lately I have been wondering if the draw backs outweigh the benefits.
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, either. Does that make it bad? HA!
Hope you're well!
renee--Great to see you. WhenI make Mo's cheesecake..you're invited!
Lis...great to see you around hun. I kwum about the home ownership thing, but i'd like to try it. I've never lived in an owned home before. It might be fun.
Want some cheesecake? :)
