March

Tearing the brackets up...
so MAD.
First of all, mad at myself cause this is the first year that I haven't keep up with the college basketball scene.  Secondly, so mad cause teams are causing mayhem, and third because for about the umpteenth year in a row, I am at the bottom of the bracket challenge.

But this spring break is going to be more than just watching basketball.  

A is still working ALOT, too much probably.  She is becoming a young woman in front of my eyes.  Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a parent is to keep your mouth shut.  It's really hard for me, if you know me very well.   But I am really proud of what she is achieving and how hard she works.  Even when she doesn't necessarily love her job.  

R is going to attempt to get her driver's permit this week.  Kinda nervous about another driver in the family and another one of my babies on the road...but at the same time excited that another one of my babies is becoming a young lady and growing up.

K is having a big week too!  She is my baby child and will be turning 14 on Thursday.  AHHHH!  So, we will find something to party with and celebrate.   Good ideas on Pinterest.  Can't wait to try something I have seen.

My girls never cease to amaze me of how wonderful they all are.

Still doing Zumba and am a fanatic about it.  It is very addicting.  But the hubby has decided to do something about his health (and weight) and we have been going to the track every evening and walking at minimum a mile.  My foot is killing me  - I am blaming the weather front that is moving in - so tonight was the first time that I set down after the mile lap, he finished with R, while I watched.

This wind is outrageous.  One of the worst weather elements in my opinion is wind.  I can't stand for my hair to be in my face, the wind does that, and I don't like my ears exposed to it.  I worry about ear infections.  why? I don't know, but I do.

Had a great time Friday night with some girl friends from my graduating class.  Just a little impromptu gathering that was really a fun time.  I told them, and I will share it on here.  I am so thankful to have friends with so much history.  After all these years, and kids and marriages later, we can all still come together and get along and laugh like we do.   Love times like those.

Planted my strawberries the other day, already getting some blooms on them, hoping that the BIG storm system coming through doesn't totally drowned them.  My next goal is planting azalea bushes on the side or backside of the house.  I am doing to get my outdoor area even if I have to do it myself.

Finished another three books  - started those on Wednesday, here it is Sunday and I am looking for another to start.  I loved to read growing up and I love to read even more now.   My hubby doesn't understand how I can have my nose in a book all the time, its just something I do to relax.

I used to paint quite a bit, but my hands hurt when I do that for too long.  I can take a book anywhere with me.  My hobby follows me.  

Until next time (which no telling when that will be...)
