How can it be MAY already? Seriously? It’s completely uncalled for, and well. insane. May is an INSANELY busy month around these parts. With the long winter, it seems all classes save their field trips till May when the snow melts, which means numberous kids to remember to get to school early, many fees to pay, many exciting opportunities and so forth. For instance – the pup, she went down to\u00a0 Homer to the Oceans and Islands center and collected shells on the beach – an all day trip that started at 8am, and didn’t end until 5 or so. This is the big 6th grade field trip for the girl, where the entire 6th grade goes on a big 3 day trip and learn survival skills and such. It was a highlight of 6th grade for the boy, and I know the girl will love it as well. they leave at 8am on a wednesday, and don’t return until 3pm that friday. Buncha tired kiddos! Then she’s also gonna take a horsebacking trail riding day as her ‘mini-course’. The Boy – he’s going camping as his mini-course, and is looking forward to that too. Lots of kyacking and stuff will be done, and it will be a fitting end to his Jr. High career. There’s also final concerts for chior and band, as well as days taken for the 8th graders to visit the high school and get aquainted with the bigger school they’ll attend for the next for years.<\/p>\n

(OMFG – that made my HEART hurt to even TYPE! HIGH SCHOOL! oy!)<\/p>\n

Heh – another heart that hurts at how big the boy has gotten is his very first babysitter. There was a time she was taller then he is. HA! um. yeah. She’s a teacher now… she was our favorite sitter when the boy was 2, and she was 14. She babysat for us for about 3 years until she got herself a job and did more teenager-y and then grown up things. Here they are Sunday afternoon (batteries in the camera were dead – took this on the cell phone, thus the blurryness)<\/p>\n

Poor Nikki! whats worse is we were at the sports show? and she was asked if she was a student. She’s an elementary school teacher. *L*<\/p>\n

So – you’d think that’d be enough to make may too busy to handle right? oh no! We’ve got LITTLE LEAGUE starting up! This year I’ll only have two players, as the boy has decided to Umpire instead – much to all of our dismay. His coaches have tried talking to him, his papa too, but he’s determined to take at least one year off. So we’re gonna give it a try and see how he likes it – and hey, an ump I can heckle all the way home! Awesome!<\/p>\n

The girl got her call from her favorite coach – and bounced while I talked to him, except when she was MORTIFIED when I looked right at her and went “oh… she’s not?” And he was like “WAIT! she IS!” and she was like “MOM! that’s so WRONG!” and I was all “HAHAHAHAHAH the look on your face!” It was beautiful. *L*<\/p>\n

The pup and bug will be on the same team, moving up to coach pitch this year. D-man will be in minors, and our wee lil ladybug will start t-ball! I’ve already been conscripted to be team mom for the girl’s softball team (urg. I should quit going to board meetings! I keep getting volunteered! Jay likes to abuse me, I think!) and of course, I’m the random “SHE can keep score! grab her” mom too. All that and the weekly meetings until the season starts (opening ceremonies on May 20!) and then it’s 6 weeks of total flurry before my ‘lazy’ summer really starts. heh.<\/p>\n

Then there’s the business things too. So Monday nights are KLL board meetings. Tuesday nights are POMs, and saturday mornings are training. And any meetings in between, plus trying to get A. up to anchorage for a class in june too, and a big one on May 20 (yup – gonna miss the opening ceremonies, as I’ll be outa town. heh.) and and and and. *L*<\/p>\n

And let’s not forget the design…<\/p>\n

Man. I’m exhausted just THINKING about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
