7 Quick Takes Friday

 

I've never done this before but I'm inspired by my friend, Sue, to do it. 

-1-

This is our down time from ballet and coincidentally, piano.  I thought that would mean an easier week.  I was wrong.  Why aren't our summers lazy?  Sigh. 

-2-

A friend and I are hosting a baby shower for a dear friend who is having her 6th.  It should be fun as it's a spa party.  I have been madly cleaning but it seems neverending.  I have too much stuff.  And, I've come to realize I'm a horrible housekeeper.  I need new routines.  I need lists.  Too many things slip through the cracks because it's not habit.  More specifics later.

-3-

I bought a Mac.  I can't wait for it to come in.  My computer is super slow and it wastes so much of my time.  Posting pictures take forever as well as downloading them from my camera.  It's en route. 

-4-

Why do delivery people who need signatures always come in that small window when you are out of the house? 

-5-

My mind has been working overtime on school plans.  Nothing is down on paper yet but my mind is working.  I usually fly by the seat of my pants and never have a written plan, but this year I want to.  I need to know where I'm headed and where the children need to be at the end of May.  We tend to school through summer but this year we've been slacking.  I think we all needed the break, but we can't take too long of one because Brother has so much trouble adjusting back.

-6-

I ache to hold a newborn in my arms. 

-7-

My youngest is starting ballet in August.  Where did the time go?  When Sister started ballet Pumpkin was an infant.  And, now...sigh. 

Boy, I didn't mean to end on such a low note.  I think this helps to get some random thoughts down.

Now, I must continue to clean.

Real life has highs and lows. Don't be sorry for ending there.

Can't wait to hear more about your lists and your school plans!
