We Must Be CRAZY...

Not that our lives aren't busy enough but I just realized that from August to December of this year we will have taken 1 road trip a month. Hopefully work will slow down for me soon and Brad's classes won't be to difficult this semester...He is taking 4 online classes and will graduate in December...and he has to take the praxis (state boards) to get into the masters program he wants to do...it is a good thing that the girls are doing well and sleeping well. Sometimes I just don't know how we do it...why does life have to be so busy...the girls are both getting ready to have birthdays...number 4 and 1, where did the last year go. Ada is going to take a ballet class on Tue. nights this fall, we let her pick between ballet, a sport or violin and she picked ballet...it was no surprise...she is all girl. Tonight while I was fixing dinner she was coloring at her little table in the kitchen and was singing and humming the whole time...then her sister joined in but it wasn't as quiet as Ada's. So we have something on Tue. and Wed. nights this fall along with work, school and road trips...I am getting tired thinking about it. I am really learning how to not get stressed out these days...just taking a couple of deep breaths and pushing through. So if you were wondering what we have planned for the fall...here is a small glimpes of our trips...Aug. is already done, Disney...Sept. we are taking a short family trip to DC to go to the Zoo and be together for 2 days (we had 2 free nights at a Marriott that we had to use before Sept. 20 so that is why we are taking that trip...Brad just couldn't not use them)...Oct. we are going to PA to visit Brad's family and have a little 1st birthday party for Mary-Allyn...the girls and I havn't been there since last Christmas....Nov. we are going to NY to Brad's brothers for Thanksgiving and to see the Macy's parade...we found out after we booked the NYC hotel that my parents were spending a week in NYC and will be there while we are...they are going to the parade with us...that will be really fun for me and the girls, it is something I have always wanted to do and to have my parents there will be extra special. And in Dec. we are going back to PA after Christmas to celebrate with the Hardy's...and then we can rest and figure out what the new year will bring for Brad with school and a job. Life just amazes me sometimes, no all the time! I am now going to go to bed and try not to think about all this stuff...
