Just thought I woulld put together a blog letting everyone who may be interested in what s new with our family..
Anyone who has kids knows the older they get the faster life goes.. They keep us busy Which is a good thing..
Brad is doing well at work.. Loves the crew he works with and enjoys the great schedule now that its Summer he's off work between 2pm and 2:30.. Can't beat that!
Katie is playing T-ball and doing wonderfully.. Yesterday she was pitcher and even caught the ball in mid air.. I was impressed! She is also getting attitude.. So independent... However I have found a quick fix... Instead of grounding her I have her scrub the toilet.... How fun!
Sam is doing well.. Starting baseball any day I guess Brad is going to help coach which is funny cause he knows NOTHING about baseball. However with Brad anything he does he ends up doing great.. He's a hidden perfectionist. Sam is reading like crazy Almost done of The Twilight series... Just a few chapters left in the last book.. Reads almost to much when ever I see him at school his nose is in a book.. I always thought he would be a lousy reader and be great in Math turns out the opposite is true.. Swim lessons start up at the end of June looking forward to that the kids have so much fun..
We were thinking of heading to the Grand Canyon this year.. But we will see. Seems like an awfully long time to be in the car.. The odors that come from the back seat after the kids have been there for awhile is pretty crazy..lol
I'm doing great and am keeping busy. Working at the school daily.. Little housekeeping on the side and may have a Summer job lined up working for Food for Lane County in there Summer food program.... We will see if there is time for it.. Finding the balance between work and family can be challenging however I am so much happier doing something I enjoy for me.. Ya selfish I know.. Working with the kids at school is always entertaining and no 2 days are ever alike.. Keeps me on my toes...
hmmm what else... Dog is well, Bird is still annoying, Fish is still swimming and the cat still won't die.... ERGGG.. I think she is gonna live forever... YA I don't care for cats.
Anyways thats the latest from the Littlefield house..
doing something you enjoy for you....sounds like you ensuring you KEEP being a great parent to me.I sensed a slight tainting of guilt in the "doing something for you" part the sarcasm gives you away every time. Its a fact parents the devote all their energy and time to their kids~deplete themselves and eventually resent their kids~no brain strain necessary to find an example there. I love sports kids in sports hopefully we can do all that again in the fall.
