SUMMER DAY 1

well it is offically the first day the kids have had off from school. luckally i have the day off too. i worry about them being alone as the sibling fights get started early. i have had to intervene twice already and it is just after noon! i need to work on a list of things for them to do.........both in the chore department and fun department. summer is stress for any family where both parents have to work. hopefully i won the lottery....should check my numbers.

the kids have been working on a fort in the small cluster of trees not too far from our house. they took us for a tour on the weekend. reminds me of the "houses" i had in my grandparents bushes when i was their age. they even made a name and found a piece of drywall in the garbage bin by an in-progress house to paint the name on. they had a lot of thought in their name....as 5 boys have been working on it.. Ethan, Liam, Daniel, Jordan, and Drew....they decided to call their fort "LEDJE" (peonounced ledge)..........using the first lettrs of their names. was proud of them for that.

the last day of june.............WOW what a wet one it was.......my highschool friend, Kim, birthday is today! hoepfully i remember to call her!

another hot day today.......i would love to just sit, read and lay around.......why is it we have a hard time doing that when we are at home?? chores.......a single word to sum it up........but cannot we have a few days to just be??? i think i will just be and do anything i want today.......after i do the ironing and make the spred sheet of chores for the kids!!!

other than that my random thoughts have yet to show up today! we had a nice dinner party with jasons best freind Jamie and his fiance Robyn yesterday! their wedding is in 26 days! guess i need an outfit..........(are you ready for another shopping day stacey??)
