Summer filling up?!

I always think it is strange when your life can be planned out, so to speak, ahead of time with dates, events, trips, concerts, and other things so far in advance! Don't get me wrong, I like to plan things ahead of time if possible, it makes me feel calm and at peace about it becomes I can prepare, be excited, plan....but our summer is already filling up! I know that others have far more events already on their calendar. But have you ever stopped to think about how crazy it is that it is March and a few weekends in August are already taken up on your calendar? I think it is strange.

April we have a concert on the 3rd, April 18th is pancake breakfast and preschool carnival and a night up in Duluth to celebrate the kid's birthdays. May is Tom's birthday month and possible camping, June I'm planning a shower for my sister, a couple of graduation parties, and camping. July a wedding reception in Superior, WI, and August a friend from Australia is coming to visit (10 years in the making), a bachelorette party and wedding of a dear friend! And of course, my Birthday!

I guess it's not a lot, but I know there will be more activities to put down in writing. Which is why our beautiful summers seem to fly by I guess! Not only does having children make life seem to run away from us like an accelerating freight train, but then you add more "stuff" to the mix and in a flash you're 28 years old (almost), with 3 kids, a husband, a mortgage, and lots of bills to pay. And you're brain is filled with an abundance of overflowing memories that you quickly try to capture through cameras and pens.

And at the end of the day, all I really hope to have accomplished, is, "Did I make sure that I loved today?" I sure hope that I can feel good about that at the end of every crazy, busy day.

Mark Hatty, he was here in high school for a couple of weeks through an exchange program with a bunch of other aussie's :) We've kept in touch since then and now he'll be coming to stay for a couple of days! The kids are so excited that a man from "where the koala bears live" is coming here. So funny!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
