All over the place

It went from being freezing and snowy to 80 something overnight. Seriously. You have to love Michigan weather. The kids are out roaming the neighborhood, Monte is golfing and Wilson is going from window to window sniffing the fresh air. I have ALLLL the windows open and fans on and am clicking through tastespotting, my favorite place on the Internet.

Life is beautiful.

Lately I feel like I have the treadmill going faster than normal and I just can't quite stay on it. Buried at work, busy at home and the kids have me running around crazy. I love my life. I love that the kids have such NORMALCY, something I didn't know if I could provide for them back in the days of sitting in synagogue all weekend or my single days of back and forth weekends. I love that they can take off on bikes and scooters and hang with the kids they go to school with and play soccer with and hang with their cousins who live in the connecting subdivision. I love soccer and dance and dinners together every single night. I love all of it. Exhausting as it all is, I love it. HOWEVER, there is really only so much one person can do (two people as Monte would like to remind stubborn me) and learning how to "not miss good for perfection" (to quote my fabulous boss) is a hard one for me.

So what else is new? We're busy and I'm tired. HA. This has been a running theme for as many years as I can remember. What IS news is that Zech got himself a job. Well, kind of. He is delivering fliers and coupons for Lucky Duck pizza door to door and holding the sign out on the street. That's right, that's my son. At least he isn't dressed like the State of Liberty! Honk and wave and tell me if he looks like he's got a good attitude! Now we are in negotiation about how much money to spend and how much to save. I don't think I have to tell you that we don't see eye to eye on the issue. Or any issue for that matter, oh teenagers, you are so much fun.

Mommies of babies listen up-enjoy those middle of the night feedings, diapers and those helpless little bundles of love because seriously you are living the EASY YEARS! That's right, it doesn't ever get any easier. You're welcome. Now, bring me one of your little non-verbal, non-mobile babies and I will give you a fiercely independent and stubborn teenager. I am running a two for the price of one! They are really cute and take out trash (if you nag them enough).

OK, I'm off. I have to park my cars on Facebook so I can win parking lot wars and then go find something to feed my crew who will undoubtedly come home eventually looking to be fed.

Enjoy this beautiful weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
