Crazy....

So it has been forever... It seems since I have written anything on my blog.  Sometimes in the spring, ok to be honest most times in the spring, I feel like I may lose my mind.  With all of the end of the year events, class projects, school trips, BBQ's, sports which all three kids particiapte in at least one...this year, they all have three seperate sports going on at the same time.  Let alone that my husband works and this year has taken a business trip at this cornucopia of events.  So...if you see me wandering about aimlessly, gum stuck in my hair, kids going to school with miss matched clothing or with their little blond hair sticking out in what can only be described as the electro shock look...please remember that at one point in my life....I may have been wearing a clean shirt and my pants were on the right way, my mascara isn't supposed to be on my eyelids and yes, that may be a bit of breakfast dribbled down my front.  If I'm totally honest, their might be some spare toast in my bra because I haven't seen the rest of breakfast and was wondering where it went. Looking back on spring whilst sitting in my chaise lounge, watching the kids in the pool I will try to forget this frazzled woman that sits before me now.  Oh summer where are you!!!?!?
So in response to my blog, fashion...hum whatever at this point. I am lucky that I am wearing cloths at all.  Fitness...I am at the gym at an ungodly hour so I can be with my family as soon as they wake up in the morning....it also helps with then crazy look I have going on this time of year.  Family...it's all about family:) What can I say, I wouldn't have nearly the fun I do with out them.  Faith...God is so great to give me these experiences where I can find this humor everyday.   Well and when you are at Target and you see one of us crazy spring moms just trying to make it to June 13th, we will have brought humor to your day too...just by leaving that random Cheerios in our hair...just for you:) One day I will wake up and, the Spring crazy woman will be gone, as well as class projects, final reports, trips to the museum, school BBQ's and the 4 different teams my kids are on. I know I will miss her just as I miss the relaxed summer mamma right now.  Thank you God for these seasons in our lives,

Prayers have been answered!

Our friend is speaking today and even playing games with his brothers...and not playing fair:)  Great news!!!  I will keep you all updated!  His recovery was supposed to be 6 to 12 months...but maybe not;)  I will let you know if we hear anything else!  Thank you all.

Prayers

I don't usually post prayer requests but I wanted to ask you all to pray for a family friend of ours.  He recently had a brain aneurysm and was air lifted to Seattle.  They have done surgery but he isn't out of the woods yet.  We are so grateful that he is alive!  We would like to ask for prayers for his family, and for his full recovery.  Thank you all!  This means a lot.

Summer Colors

Here is another lovely dress that can flow seamlessly between seasons.  A beautiful sweater will get you into fall, where a pair of knee high boots will take it into winter, well...unless you have 6 feet of snow on the ground:)  As you can tell, I love dresses but they aren't my go to items in my closet.  As winter is getting closer and closer at hand, I am trying to inspire myself to keep wearing my dresses, even when it gets cold.  Any item of clothing in your closet you are having issues parting with as the weather changes???
