Is this really summer

I feel like time is just flying by. I really can't believe that it is the end of July. I have sent out the invites for my lil boy A's second birthday party. No it's time to plan the rest. It will be Mickey Mouse crazy. Lol 

I am still waiting to hear back from school I wish it didn't take so long. I really hope I get it then I can registrar for my English class too. I never thought I would be this excited about school. 

It's been awhile

So it's been awhile this I know. I have been enjoying the summer before school starts. It has been quickly approaching . Since the last time I wrote I had a birthday  35 yikes ! Where has the time gone? Growing up I always heard that time flies faster the older you get. I never knew how true that would be. Where has 35 years gone? I have been through so much, and learned so many things. I am great-full for all my lessons . Are there things I would have changed ? I would say yes and no. I would never change the things that would have changed my present. I love my boys so much anything  that would have changed that I would never change. 

On a lighter note. We spent all morning at a splash pad with my friend Beth and her kidos . It was do much fun. I realized how much I miss them . It had been way to long. This is something I am working on. I think some days I get to caught up in the to do list I forget to enjoy things. The kids had so much fun too. It is 100 degrees and no one cared because we were all playing in the water . Ah the summer . Love it ! 

Another Friday

I know most people look forward to Fridays because of the weekend of no work . Fridays for me are hard. It starts my work week. The kids always tell me they do not want me to go. 

Well I made it through . I kept to my goal of spending time one on one with L outside . He is getting so big. Where does the time go?  Until tomorrow . 

Dream chaser

So today was productive. I like to clean house on Thursdays since I work all weekend. I also took L to the doctor for a check up. It was a little traumatizing with the shots but he is ready for school now. 

Today I heard someone say something that is sticking with me . It was along the lines of ......  Everyone has dreams. When I look back I do not want to be one of the people who thinks I wonder if I would have tried this. I just want to look back and see I went after my dreams.  I live this a new motto tomorrow starts dream chasing ;) 

Putting my goals first

Today I have to say pretty I am happy. I am beat tired the kids have been keeping my on my toes. My youngest has now figured out almost all gates the little spider boy . Luckily he has not figured out the one by the top stairs yet. 

So usually I would find the excuse I need to clean ( my house has been well used by the boys today) to not work out . Today though L had a swim lesson so regardless to the gym we went. The thing I am so happy about is even though A was really crabby, my house a mess, and I could probably think of about 2 more reasons . I stayed and worked out . I ran for 45 minutes . It feels great * good sigh 

Getting caught up

I know it had been a few days I am just trying to get caught up after my oldest son's birthday and the holiday. 

I never knew how frustrating financial aid for school can be. I can't wait to be done with all the hoops . I did register regardless for this semester so hopefully I get some aid . 

Enough of that . Tony ( my husband ) goes back to work tomorrow so things should be a little more back to schedule . Here are a few pics from the last few days. Back to goal setting tomorrow .
