Life Update June 2010

For those of you who like to have updates I am posting this. For those of you who like my stories that one is next.

I would like to point out that the only reason I have the time to post this is because I am working our conference. I have been tasked with making sure the powerpoint is running properly. No really I am tasked with making sure the AV students run the powerpoint properly. Which is ridiculous because I have no clue what I am doing and they totally know everything :). But hey I have time to catch up. All day. Just sitting behind the big screen with all of the buttons and computers like the wizard in wizard of oz. Fun, fun FUN! :)

So with the boys? Some of you have not heard from me in a long time and if it weren't for the fact that my name has not been reported in the obituaries you would have thought I had kicked the bucket. Gosh, that's a crude way of saying it. But - I said it. what's been up with me? What's been up with the boys? What has been up???

Well, I haven't kicked the bucket. I am not ignoring any of you. I am not hiding out. I PROMISE. I have really been busy. If I remember correctly this happened to me last year at the same time, but I think this year is 10 times worst. Honestly. I think mathematically I could prove it.

So in short - Jonah had his first reconciliation, first communion received his scapular, gave his first oral report, turned another year older (8), rode his first big roller coaster, made the ELITE soccer team and finished the second grade. Noah, ok I am not going to list all of his trouble he has gotten into, was there with his brother through all of his first stuff, got pinched by a crawfish he caught while camping, ate the crawfish after I boiled it, has signed up for football again, is competing in a national singing contest, rode the diamond back at kings island, wrote his first story, became an expert in Pandora, learned how to cook ramen noodles and finished the third grade. I have tried to keep up with all of this, coordinated the pine wood derby cars, Jesus day bags and first communion bannerAND assisted on putting on two conferences. I don't think I have had an unscheduled weekend since the before my vegas trip in February. Honestly. I think my weekends are scheduled until sometime in July.

Currently the boys are out of town for three weeks. One week so I can work my butt off (well work long hours writing my blog!) during this conference, then two weeks because their favorite aunt in Louisiana is going to be in town with their favorite niece and nephew. We have so much planned already for that trip. But don't worry. While they are gone I won't get any me time. I started out without them Saturday and that was jammed packed with me and Pierre celebrating my birthday month. Yes, we were celebrating my birthday MONTH. Ok so maybe that is me time, but I mean - just relax me time. Then Sunday I worked all day at conference center getting set up. Now the conference. Then this weekend is the boys going away party so - i have to figure out how to get them from Granny Hallie's to Mom's house so that she can bring them home for the party. And I have to get ready for the party. I have done NOTHING! Too damn busy! I mean darn. :)

That is the other thing I am in the middle of.... the move. Getting everything ready for that. For the boys - new school, new doctor, new dentist, new sports teams. For me, well i guess the big thing a change in the drive and learning a new area. And the worst part - the packing and moving. But I can't wait to say goodbye to price hill. I will so miss all of my friends that I so adore, but the neighborhood I will not miss.

I have some pictures to add, hope you enjoy!
