And the beat goes on...

Sometimes do you feel like life is passing you by and somehow you are on the slow train and no matter how fast you try to move forward you are stuck in mud? My lists seems to dominate my time and they are increasing in length and difficulty. The things I really want to do go undone; part of the things that "have" to be done get done and the rest roll over to another list another day. . . BLAH! I wish I could scoop my kids up in my arms and transport us all back to when they were little and the hardest decision was what to make for dinner and making sure we played hard all day. . .

The moral of the story: Don't blog late at night when you are melancholy!

Where to begin. . .

The top ten reasons I don't want to write this post:
  1. Trying to catch up is frustrating and ruthless with the month we just experienced!
  2. I am not clever and you all are!
  3. I would have to write pages to cover the great trip to Las Vegas, ie pool, hotel, midnight bowling, dance competitions, shopping, fun! fun! fun!
  4. My nephew Taylor is now 16, that would age me greatly to write about all of my memories of good times with "Tay Tay". He is awesome and I absolutely adore him; however, the age thing you know.
  5. If I write about Taylor's birthday then I must give a shout out to Grandma Luke, Terry, Jill, Stephanie, Robert, Grandpa Parry, Matt, Stacie, and on and on. Then what I want to remember about them etc. It would be endless.
  6. I really don't want to have to write about Frankie, Cody, Larkin, David, and Jessie going to the Incubus concert on July 16.
  7. It would make me sad to think that Jack's Pack is over for another year. It was so fun to watch.
  8. There are truly not enough words to adequately describe the trip Larkin and I took to Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin (thanks navigator bug)! We went for my Grandma Luke's surprise 90th birthday party. a HUGE shout out to Cousin Cara for planning it.
  9. I would have to sit in one place long enough. . . AND
  10. You would be able to see how incredibly blessed my life is and think I was spoiled :)
