Time off

This is my 'time off''. I am blogging and watching Grey's at the same time. I am writing now because I am afraid I will fall asleep if I actually take this time to relax. We have had a very busy week. Not that I am complaining, I will take this over mundane any day, but it sure is taxing physically and emotionally. The next three weeks will be nuts as we wrap up school, but our luxurious summer will be well worth it. Who am I kidding, we are going to be no less busy, but there is a certain amount of freedom in knowing that no one is expecting us at the pool at any given time. My crazy days make me really appreciate my parents and grandparents. I am one of five, my mom is one of 11 and my dad is one of 7. How did these women do that???? I have no idea how mom got us all to soccer, dance, t-ball, play dates, dances, school, etc. No wonder she doesn't like to drive any more. I currently love to drive, typically it clears my head. Admittedly, it is getting harder and harder when I am picking up seashells, crayons, stuffed animals and snacks off the floor while driving. Not to mention playing referee while they pinch, hit and throw things at one another. Still, as I look in on them sleeping every night and every morning I know that I am the luckiest mommy in the world to have such loving children who give me insight into what this world is all about each and every day.
