Crazy busy

We have been crazy busy for years.  It's worse then ever right now.  Our oldest left on his mission 3 weeks ago.  We have sold our home and purchased another.  Our second son has graduated from high school and is preparing to leave for college.  He will stay in Maryland and work for the summer.  Our third and our fourth and sixth boys are playing baseball.  That's 5-7 games or practices a week to taxi them to and from and to try and watch some games.  Our third son finishes middle school and will be in high school in the fall.  Frank has had extra doctor appointments due to a minor health issue.  We have end of the school year band concerts and ceremonies to attend.  After taking many loads of belongings to our home in Virgina.  We are tired and sore.  We will move on Monday to a new state with only four children at home.   Things should get easier, right??  I'm planning an old fashioned summer.  The kind with sun, heat, and Popsicles.  The kind where kids wear the same clothes for days.  Swim suits.  I vow to read only fiction books.  Eat loads of farm market fruits and veggies.  I will watch my kids catch fireflies.  We will go on bike rides.  I will spend days without knowing what time it is.  We are limiting schedule events to bare minimum.  Not going to be busy anymore.  Well...until football!

That summer plan sounds wonderful, and does get a little easier as they move away but the concern stays there. That can still keep you up.

Yay for you posting on your blog! ;)
Crazy summer here. Would be nice to "relax" after we get to Utah, but besides unpacking and putting our house in order, we'll be busy most of July. School starts mid-August. Yep, summer is over already! lol
