What's on my Mind: Taming the teenage boy. All the boys have gotten a bit attitudal lately, everyone's a wiseguy, a commedian, a master negotiator, it can be a bit overwhelming when you're outnumbered. I swear if I hear "yep, just a minute" again while 20 minutes goes by and you haven't done the chore I've so kindly reminded you of, or the dishes/wrappers/glasses sit there on the table that I've told you to clear off .... My solution, the xBox360 has been put away, until I get a little more respect around here!
Thankful for: The end of school being near. Hoping the final report cards are Aces and looking forward to a summer respit. It's been a long year. Below is a picture Ben took on his class trip to Lansing, it is the original Spartan statue that is now inside the stadium. He thought it was pretty awesome.
Creative Endeavors: Aaaahhhh.
Latest Project: Still gardens and lawns. Much to do.
My 3 Sons: Ethan and I went out to Midland this weekend with the North Branch Recreational Baseball group for a Youth Clinic and Great Lakes Loons game against the Lansing Lugnuts. It was a fun day although very windy and chilly for the first weekend in June!
Fox and Ethan are signed up to do the North Branch Cross Country Camp next week. They will meet three days after school then the last two days in the morning. Ben is refusing to go, in fact he is giving me grief about running cross next year. I gave him a pass on the camp but am sticking to my guns on running the season. It will be the one and only year that all three boys can run for school teams. Both he and Ethan will be middle school, the next year when Ben goes into high school he will play soccer in the fall and won't be able to run. That's all I ask is one season, one year, with only one sport to deal with!
The first Born: Getting ready to host a murder mystery party on the property....this ought to be interesting.
Employment News: Same ol'.
Hoping to Improve: My running schedule. Since the 5K race the last weekend in April my miles have greatly diminished although I have gotten on the trail for a quick mile run at least once a week. The Freedom Run in town is coming up the first weekend in July, I'd like to run it with the boys if I can get back in the groove.
Food for Thought: Focusing on the breaking of old habits gives them far more attention than they deserve. The only way to get rid of an old habit is to carefully construct a new one and never give the old one another thought! ~Ten Habits of Naturally Slim People
