Updates. . .because life is a bit crazy
Oldest son: Working at the concession stands at a baseball complex. Staying up late, sleeping late (for him), playing worldwide on his new XBox live connection. Counting down the days until he can get his license, but not wanting to help find a vehicle.
Youngest son: Playing baseball and either talking or texting on his phone. Staying up later, sleeping really late, playing worldwide on his brother's new XBox live connection. Looking forward to baseball being over so he can hang out at the pool all day every day.
Husband: After 20 years with one company, has gone to work for a commercial bank. Coaching son's baseball team because "somebody had to do it". Decided it was time to also begin a home remodeling project - because it's best for everything to be crazy at once! Shopping for new clothes more often than ever because things are different at the new job. Somehow managing it all pretty well considering the pace things are moving at around here the last few months.
Baseball: Going pretty well considering the team was a last minute put together. I have been keeping books - pretty easy until you have to have 2 going at once when you are the home team. Most exciting thing so far. . .youngest son pitches his first no hitter! No walks, no hits, no runs!!! We were all so proud!
Basketball goal: Constant source of contention in the house. It refuses to stay up - probably has something to do with the 40 plus mph winds we have had for several weeks straight. The kicker was the day it hit my husband's pick-up when it blew over. Somehow we all survived the incident, although it was not pretty.
House: We are doing some work in the kitchen, laundry room, and bathroom. We, well actually my husband, scraped the ceiling texture off all three rooms. The house is still a minor disaster area. We are waiting for our installer to come in a couple of weeks to put up the ceiling tiles that look like tin and to put in our floor that is ceramic tile that looks like wood. It will be great once it is all done. . .whenever that will be.
Me: Trying to keep everyone and everything going with some resemblance of order and peace. And that is why my blog is so woefully out of date!
Just choosing to dance with the changing rhythms.
simple faith
