busy, busy, busy

Okay, so once upon a time, summer used to be some down time and a time to get caught up on some rest and relaxation.  Well, I feel relaxed by being home with the kiddos, but I have yet to discover the rest I once had enjoyed.  LOL  


Monday started with some trips to the libraries, then some chicken farming chores, some weeding in the gardens, and a trip to Target to update Linc's Epi-pens.  


Today started at 8am with a stop at the local mechanic to have him pull out a bolt that was lodged in my tire.  FUN!   Then, Ella enjoyed her check up at the pediatrician at 9am - where we learned she grew 9 inches in one year - YIKES!  She is perfect though, and right on target.  Then we detoured to a local playground and played.  That was fun!  Until I realized I forgot sunscreen and Ella began to redden slightly... so home we headed.  


Tomorrow was supposed to be a lazy morning, until my Thyroid ultrasound in the afternoon, but now we travel to the car dealer. My check engine light came on today, throwing a code about a bad sensor.  ARGH!  So... never a dull moment!  Off we go tomorrow to seek solutions.  


Thursday I am looking forward to my iPad training!  My students are going to love the opportunities this will help me create for them, as readers!  I can't wait!!!  Lexi has already volunteered to be the tester of apps. for me.  LOL


So... apparently, I will sleep when I am dead!  LOL  Too much life to live at the moment.  And when the time is there to relax, it is much more memorable to stop and PLAY!  The time spent on the swings today and the trips down the slide may have been more productive than a nap anyway, right?  If nothing else, they were at least more memorable and certainly full of lots of giggles!
