YAWN!!!

[Guest guest]

Ok, y'all are boring me to tears!!!

I hope everyone is out enjoying their weekend. It finally cooled

down here on the Colorado Western Slope. We have been running

between 106 and 110 degrees the past couple of weeks and now we are

only in the 98-100 degree range. We finally got some good downpours

to cool down the poor, hot earth in this area.

I FINALLY have a whole weekend where nothing is going on. Its been

weeks, bordering on months, since I've had a completely free weekend

and it feels pretty good. I even got up and cooked breakfast for the

family and even that feels good.

Next weekend starts a whole new round of activity. My hubby's cousin

is coming from Denver with her family, and we haven't seen them for

about 5 years so that will be nice. Its also county fair time and

since I grew up around raising lambs for county and state fair shows,

I just gotta hang out around the smells, and general funk that goes

along with fairs.

The following weekend, even though their 1st birthday is on Tuesday,

we will be having the twins birthday party (its the only time all the

family will be able to join in). We are having a luau with everyone

dressing up and luau foods and all the fun that goes with that. I'm

excited and anxious to celebrate the babies wonderful first year.

After that, I have another weekend of visitors, then another with a

baby shower, then school starts and sports begin for our oldest son

(starting high school this year), and then fall festivals start in

the area and Heaven forbid I miss any of those.

The blessing in all of these activities is that, as exhausted as I

get between taking care of my dh needs, kiddos needs, full time work,

household needs, and extra curriculars, is that I CAN!!! 3 years

ago, I could hardly move to meet my own needs, but now I feel like I

can (and do) take it all on... a little more sleep would be nice, but

other than that, physically I'm ready to take on the world.

Blessings to all of you, my dear LOSER friends and I hope you have a

good week in front of you.

Huggz,
