Well, I can tell you that is was quite the weekend. We had a competition on Martha's Vineyard. That was an adventure in itself. Driving through the new, huge tunnel in Boston, trying to make the ferry on time, getting a little bit lost. The big adventure came Saturday at the competition. The day wasn't going great for Matt. Just not preforming the way he knows he can. Then came this crazy event called obstacle pole. I do have video but YouTube and I are having words at the moment. So bear … [Read more...]
Ran Out of Air
Summer school may be over and the regular school hasn't started yet but I just feel so busy. We have competitions every weekend. Four in a row of having to stay at of town for them. I'm so glad we are finally coming into shows that are close enough to drive there and back in the same day. I don't think I would mind if there hadn't been an air mattress fiasco this weekend. Our air mattress is about 4 years old and has always been wonderful. It never loses air. Or I should say, it never used to … [Read more...]
Two for Tuesday–School Is Almost Over!
Time for another Two for Tuesday. 1. At the risk of repeating myself, so glad it is the last week of summer school. I'm tired and ready for a few weeks off. My kids have been great and it has been fun, but ready to not wake up and driving the 45 minutes into work for awhile. 2. Also glad that life seems to be settling out. It seems like since college our life has been a roller coaster. Things just seem to be finally falling into place. It is a nice feeling. … [Read more...]
Eventful Two Weeks
Alright. So let's see what is going on here that I haven't mentioned. I'm on my second week of summer school. Going fairly well. It is rather difficult to get keep three upper elementary aged boys interested and working...even just for the three hours I have them. Last week was anything but normal. My best friends parents ended up in a motorcycle accident. Their motorcycle hit a vehicle that went to opposite direction of the turn signal. Thankfully everyone is okay....now. They were fairly … [Read more...]
12 Questions You Didn’t Really Care About
Not something I normally do but saw it posted on Stop and Smell the Chocolates. Since I have nothing really the post, thought it would be a good idea. What I'm thinking: That summer is already going too quickly. What I'm reading: Just finished Embers of Love by Tracie Peterson. In her series Striking a Match. It was good. Also reading At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson. Very interesting. What I'm listening to: Cheers on the TV. Listen to a bunch of free downloads I … [Read more...]
Life? Who Needs a Life?
Summer hasn't even really started yet and it is already full. We will be doing 15 woodsmen/lumberjack competitions this summer. That is twice what we normally do. While this was the plan, it still seems like an awful lot. We will not exist again until after Columbus Day. Any weekend that we don't have a competition, we will be sleeping or working on the house. But most likely sleeping. I don't think we will even have time for camping this summer. Which is sad but oh well. I love lumberjack … [Read more...]
