I'm a bad, bad blogger lately. We've been so busy finishing this apartment, and we seem to have something booked for every weekend...... the busy life of the modern family. I keep finding myself saying that I will be happy when things slow down and things get back to normal. But I have discovered something - I believe this IS our normal. I don't think Mike would be happy with a life of just going to work, and then relaxing at home with a project thrown in now and then. The kids are not even in a bunch of extra cirriculars, and we seem to have a lot of things for school thrown in this last month or so. 2 weeks ago it was band festival, tomorrow it is a fundraiser pancake breakfast and concert. Next year Steve has a chance to go to Washington DC with his class for the 8th grade trip -all my family and friends are now hearing "fundraiser" coming up for that. I'm thinking Chaperone!! I've never been to Washington DC.
