The GOOD stuff..

Not to take anything away from the Kenny chosen song with the same title but what can compare with a crisp fall evening, some marshmallows roasted over a campfire, some chocolate and graham crackers and my family along with sisters family enjoying a improptu bonfire. Maybe Kenny and I should get together and write a sequel to his first song. The boys were so happy and I guess I was too.

The other side of things.

Often on weekends when Philip works which is ever other weekend I get really grumpy. Sometimes the thought of getting of at work on Friday and looking forward to a whole weekend of preschool games really bums me out. Not to mention all the laundry. seven meals to cook and clean up and a bath or two or three and I wonder wouldnt work be easier...I think a lot of the mood comes from that I miss Philip being home with us it has been a year that he has been working out of the home and sometimes I still get angry over it. But today while we were finishing up decorating the house for Halloween I snapped this picture of the boys and I thought what are you complaining about...Some people would give anything to switch with you. Isnt it funny how we always want what we cant have...I am sorry I complained.I think actually the word is more I am humbled. I would never trade all the work in the world for my buddies.

Now I really am a soccer Mom

First came the minivan now both boys are playing soccer this year at the YMCA. So now I am officially a soccer Mom complete with more laundry with the soccer jersey, the knee pads, the cleats and oh yes the snacks for the team...Good thing I got that minivan.
