Flying by....

Rush, rush, rush, is how this week is turning out to be. Catching up on things that didn't get done over the busy weekend we had, a baseball game for our boys Saturday morning, a christening my husband and I were privileged of having the honor of being the God Parents for, and of course Mother's Day!!!
Oh, let's not forget the ultimate Mission project that our daughter had to have turned in by Monday or Tuesday. Okay, so I helped her with the report part of it (my strength) and her Dad was suppose to help her with the model part of it (his strength). Well, they finally got to it (of all weekends) on Saturday. All in all we were, as usual quite the busy family. My kitchen still hadn't recovered from the water rockets that were just built, now it was being taken over by little handmade gates, tomb stones, crosses, and of course the Mission itself.
Still, Mother's Day was nice, I got my coffee, paper, nice music. It was a "Mom" free day (for the most part). "J" didn't really understand that part. He still wanted Mama to come downstairs with him first thing in the morning. One things for sure getting up that early with him made the day that much longer.
Come Sunday night I went into my normal routine, getting things ready for Daddy going back to work, when I find out he has the next day off (um, guess the Mission project should've started a little bit earlier than the weekend before it was due).
Monday morning, the week begins, back to school, Daddy helps with the project, Mom Jr. works on it when she gets home, and then she's off to ballet. Baby is here, giggly as usual, I'm so lucky she's such an easy baby, my motto is baby doesn't cry here.
Mission is complete by Monday night, house is a mess, ready for me on Tuesday.
Sometimes it just seems like the days go through some warp speed and before you know it you're putting your kids to bed and wondering how you got there when you were just serving them breakfast.
Well, this is definitely one of those weeks. School is coming to an end very soon so all the end of the year festivities are beginning. Us Mom's tend to feel overwhelmed these next few weeks while we try to juggle the different items our kids need for each day as well as get them to and from different evening activities not to mention continue our normal schedule. To top it all off our kids are in pre-summer mode, they're done with homework, they're getting more excited as each day passes, which of course is driving us crazy trying to keep them in control just for a few more weeks.
Hang in there Moms and Dads, I know I'm trying.

Just a Mom trying to hang on......
