I feel like I can breathe now (for a minute anyway…)
Since the last post we’ve had multiple dress rehearsals,
four birthday parties, practices, soccer games, two recitals, and school field day
for two of the munchkins.
AND- someone on a high speed chase crashed into my yard,
killing three trees and stopping a FOOT from my house.
Whew.

Why is it that my kids’ social calendar is more full than mine?

Wow,
We have had some fun weather lately in Arkansas…
I think it’s rained for a few weeks straight, and I’ve never heard tornado sirens go off so much in the entire time I’ve lived here.
Pretty scary.
Several ancient oaks in our neighborhood were ripped from their roots or struck by lightning.
With all the devastation around us I feel so fortunate that the only damage
we’ve had is a few leaky spots in the roof from hail and wind damage.

J’s last soccer game was played by the river (never seen it so high) with half of the fields totally flooded. He said “Mom, look at those geese playing water soccer.” We saw a boathouse and half a car going down the river, as well as a HUGE tree. Many schools in the county are still closed because roads are submerged.
Yesterday was gorgeous.

Today is too.
I am enjoying it while I can!
