Well another day has come to pass and with it we lost a good person today.  A friends father has passed away -  A true gentleman!  It makes you stop and take a moment to reflect on your own life and how that person affected it.  Life is too short I have come to realize that.  He lived a full life watched his kids marry and have kids and isn't that what we all want to watch our kids grow and have kids of there own.  But how we live while they are growing and what we do with our short time is what it is all about. 

 

I had a very busy afternoon we had jazz, basketball, song & dance and then it was our parent support group meeting for the school.  I am happy to say that after 7 years I have offically stepped down from the chair postion.  YEA!  Of courst that doesn't mean I wont volunteer anylonger.  No I organize the year end barbaque and put on one hell of a Halloween dinner and dance.  I just won't have to run the meetings anylonger or be the one responsible for everything!!!!  I have to say it was a great feeling leaving the meeting.  I can now say No I can't go to the next meeting we have gymnastics instead of finding someone to help deliver kids to their events while I go to mine!!! 

 

I managed to go swiming this afternoon - Swam 20 laps!  Now if I could just curb the eating  :)

 

 

 

Its funny you can disapear for a while and nobody really notices.  life goes on and in our busy lives we do not take the time to really enjoy-relish the snap shot seconds that pass us by.  I have had so much happen yet in the whole picture it has been a blink of an eye.  I may not be important to the whole world but I am important to me and my kids and my family as well as a few friends.  I have been busy - mostly with the kids.  Eric is 12 and Grade seven has been a roller coster ride.  He joined the volleyball and basket ball teams as well as the leadership club.  He has grown so much it takes my breath away.  I'm afraid that I will blink and he will be grown and move away.  Christopher is 10 and in grade 5.  school has always been a challenge for him and seems that if I am busy every thing slides.  I really have to be on my toes to keep him in line but when  we do he does well.  He is exactly like his grandfather and loves to learn.  He takes on something new studies it learns all there is about it and moves on to the next thing.  He is doing well in gymnastics and loves that as well.  Elizabeth is turning 9 and is in grade 3.  She struggles at school as well but again If I keep on her she does extreamly well.  She is in 5 dance classes a week and I can see such an improvement this year I am blown away.   I keep telling her that as soon as it is no longer fun she can quit - she is not living out my dream!  She is preforming in our local dance festival over our spring break and is in 4 dances.  Yikes!!  Me well me is kind of fallen on the sides these days!  It is hard to fit everything in and I came to the conclusion that the kids came first.  I am trying to fit me into the days some times but I have had an attitude adjustment and try now to enjoy what I am doing with the kids instead of looking on it as just getting thru the day.  Although some days it feels like that!  I am going to attempt a triatheon this summer I think!  There I have written it down now I have to do it.  Me who can only swim 12 laps right now cuz I'm so out of shape!!!!  Oh well as I have said before baby steps!!  Anyways I am off to bed now.  Good night to anyone who cares - sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite :)
