Will IT come back again...

OK, I am supposed to be doing school on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer!
I have done notta thing! I say this also as we still have not finished our last years work (that being the reason for the summer school!)
I have that feeling of becoming the school bus mom or just having my kids desire to self educate in about 10 years! Will the desire to teach return? Is this JUST summer time? It is the end of June and I do not think that it has hit me that it is even SUMMER time yet! Although my school desire is nill to none! Anyone else feeling this burn out...this gonner of an emotion? I need to take a dip in the pool...I have not yet...maybe that will give me my summertime feel and I will become a motivated educator again!

In Bloom

Welcome to our garden... worked on by Mark and enjoyed by us all...

Lovely Lillies...

Many Hens and Chicks
Bee Bomb, I believe ;)
Don't know, yet I enjoy...
Our Family Flower, Lantana's
A view...
A Bumble Bee on my favorite flower friend, my lavendar!
I pray sweet sites, smells and touches are around you too...

Things have come to pass...

Bryson Knox, now 5 months old, has found feet and toys...

Ate his first meal and loved every bite...

Yup, every bite...so much so that taking pics was not wanted.

The girls are loving summer and the ice cream in the freezer...

Micaela has since turned 4!!

Brinley Gale has decorated the house...yes, that is also on her lips, her room was decorated in PUKE later that evening!

Micaela has had a haircut, as had the other children, PTL!

She enjoyed this...

The Sweetman children, Nathan and Brianna have graduated from their homeschool courses of the year....


And, well, me.... I am thinking "I thought summer time was supposed to be RELAXING?"

Still Alive...

No pics yet, I will post more when I am alive! We went to Ohio this past weekend, my boy is on the dock of the bay fishing his time away still. We go and switch Brianna for Nathan next Monday. They love going to gma's house! She has the LAKE and all the SNACKS!!
We have come out of graduations, disney dinning plan stuff, a baby who ate his first foods, and school's out for summer... ohh we survived M's birth family wedding stress also! I should have NEVER signed up for this foster mom business....way to stressful for me. I was thinking today about Brinley and Bryson and how wierd it would be for them and for Micaela to wake up one day and not have each other. We are talking HALF of Micaela's life has been here with them and she loves them so much. It is such a mess...join me in praying it to be over soon!!! I just need what is going to happen to happen. I need to know who my family is and I need to be able to live my life without this stress! It is breeding hate in me and I "hate" that! :)
But anyways.... summer should start to slow down now... the pool is open and the kids are tanning, lol!
