Seems like the more things change, the more they stay the same. We are still working on our school work in hopes of finishing by the end of June. Fingers crossed! The house is staying relatively clean, so long as you are not looking at the girls' rooms. Taekwondo is going well. I have taken over the white/yellow belt classes for most of the teaching; Mike is not even coming in until class is almost over now. John is working hard, but taking some time off later this week.
Some days I feel great about life. Even on days when the house is a mess and we are behind in school. Today is not one of those days. The house is clean but my mind is cluttered. I have quite a few things I need to remember to do, or deliver, in the next couple of days. John will be home and I worry school will not get done while he is here (it usually doesn't when he is home). It is easy to say, "just do it" but it is not always easy to do.
I have another pretzel order, with cupcakes this time! Too bad I cannot get her to respond to my emails regarding the colors. I think this is the part frustrating me these days.
Anyway. John has decided not to get a pool this year. I think we'll stick to the small one we have and the sprinklers, for cooling off. I have quite a few places I'd like to take the girls before it gets too hot. I would love to have school at the lake one day, but with our county getting out of school this week I'm not sure that would be a great idea. I'm sure the girls would not like doing school work while they hear other children screaming and splashing in the water. :)
This past weekend we took the girls to the NC Zoo. The NC Zoo was our second date years ago. Back then I was there, sometimes, once a week. Do you know the saying, "You can't go home again?" Well, it is true. My zoo is not the same. Once the African Pavilion was full of animals and now it is full of orchids. They now charge you $2/each to stand on a deck to "see" the giraffes, just to "see" them! The trip really made me appreciate Riverbanks more. However, Chloe is now happy she saw a polar bear! And I'm happy we won't have to go back for two, or more, years until they open the new polar bear exhibit.

It sounds like your plate is awful full lately! I'm glad you're getting so much done :)
We do need to get together sometime though! I miss chatting with you!
My plate runneth over. :) And I feel like I'm getting nothing done. Last week was a bear and this week, John will be home.
I am trying to focus on whatever task is at hand. We'll see how far that gets me! ;)
