A day at the fair.

We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha ...

Feeling like a bad mom

       Lately I have been feeling like a horrible mother. I remember a time when I LOVED being a mom. I was never one of those moms who looked forward to sending my kid off to Kindergarten, not that there is anything wrong with that and now that I have 3 kiddos, instead of one, I understand the desire better. I always planned to home school my son, I was always the "activity mom." I filled our days with activities to make as many memories as I could. I have always been painfully aware of what a short time we have with our children. I had 28 years without my son in my life, then I get 18 short years with him before he flies the coup and then another 30 years or so, where he is off living his own life.        Here it is just a few years later and instead of having one kid I currently have 3, we took a break from homeschooling, and although we are back now, my mom is the one who does most of Bug's schooling. I have been going to college for the las...

Things I love

THUNDER STORMS, I just love these, they always bring back strong, wonderful memories of childhood. I remember sitting on my grandmother's porch in Montana watching the rain coming in. It came in like a sheet and you could literally just watch it make it's way across the sky, see it hit the neighbors across the street, cross the street, come up the lawn and then we would make a mad dash into the house as it started to come on the porch. Or when we lived in Texas I remember sitting on the porch roasting marshmallows and counting between the thunder and lightning, listening to the storm come closer, at 1st it's 5 or 6, then down to 2 or 3. One time we were counting out and just as we said 1 there was a huge clap of thunder that sent all of us kids screaming into the house. You may not know this but in Texas (at least in the El Paso area) they don't have street drains. The water just puddles up wherever there is a dip until it flows down into ditches that carry it to the...
