summer is winding down....

Its been a little while since I blogged so I figured that I would jot something down even thought I have nothing spectacular to report.

Our summer is coming to a close and while summertime is one of my favorite seasons I can always tell when it is time to move on into fall!

1.  My summer schedule falls by the wayside and my house becomes more like a frat house, only without the drinking and puking
2. My children begin the endless bickering and arguing which makes me cranky and ready to put them on EBAY
3. I get these new ideas for how to make my house run smoother and how to make my kids perform better as little adults
4. I begin to CRAVE football, fall foliage and "bouquets of sharpened pencils" 

We are finally able to squeeze a Tucson trip in with a mini vaca in Luna!!! yay!! And with that Summer 2011 will come to a close. August 24 will start school and we will be off and going for the new year!! Soo dang excited to see what it brings, but FIRST bring on TUCSON and LUNA!!!

OBSESS MUCH!! Why yes!!

Ok so somehow in the grand scheme of things I was tapped to be the obsessive,competitive one! I'm sure my husband is so dang proud!! I can't just do something and finish it. I have to go through something similar to the grief process.
  First, get the news-Take this week for example. I am the Booster Club President for Tyler and Madalyn's high school. Well as part of the responsibility of this "whatever you want to call it" I get to do some PR. (umm GAG!!) Well we are sponsoring a golf tournament type event this week. Tons of fun! Great fundraiser for the kiddos!! So far, so good.....ENTER the local NBC station, who called me and said "hey come down and be on our morning show and talk about the tourney" or something like that. Its all a blur because I don't stay too long on the first stage of this "PROCESS"


Second, have INSANE, UNREALISTIC delusions of  grandeur- I am sure my family members can see EXACTLY where this is going and my poor husband can see our bank account making that gigantic sucking sound!! Well, I hung up and immediately started trying to figure out what I was going to wear and how I was going to loose exactly 45 pounds in exactly 5 days.Decided to sew my lips shut and run hills in a rubber suit(KIDDING!!) I'm still fat... I emailed my dear fashionista friend and called my dear  fashionista sister and had them help dress me. (as if they had nothing better to do)  I loaded my shopping cart at the Banana Republic,DSW, and Anthropologie websites with the promise to my husband that whatever I didn't wear I would send back(i'm sure he is thinking," yep heard that before")


Third,add the competive edge-  One of my MANY SKILLS!! I do this by thinking "i have to be the winner, I can't go on that show looking like a frumpy housewife" (HELLO! ISN'T THAT EXACTLY WHAT I AM!!!???)

Fourth, acceptance(this is where Kelley,freshly BROKE, breathes a sigh of relief  - I look at where I am and where I am going and realize that my gift is the ability to freak out, take everyone down with me, catch my breath and come to accept where I am AND VOW to DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY!!!!


And so there you have it, they 4 stages of my freakiness!!! My poor children don't stand a freaking chance!!!!

What a LAAAAAAZZZZZZYYYYY Summer!!!

Holy cow time is flying by!! And I really have no idea how that is even possible its not like we are busy, i mean seriously!!! We stay up all night (thanks to daylight savings) and we get up around 10. We hang out or head to the pool and then we catch a softball game of Madalyns or a tball game of Connors.  Swim lessons are over for right now so we don't have that....
Afternoons are the best!! We have out own little version of the monsoon without the thousand degree or the humidity!! yay!!

Looks like we might head AZ way after all for a little breather and some school shopping after girls camp but other than that we are LAAAAZZZZYYYY!!!
