Busy Summer!

I remember telling my mom a month ago that as soon as school was over I would be "free" to do more stuff like go to her house more! What was I thinking? I forgot that when school is out, preparations for next school year begin. Along with catching up on all of those deep clean chores like defrosting the freezer. And of course, you've got to include those "field trips" you can only do in the summer ;) like playing at the water park. Mom said I plan something for every day. I don't know that I plan it that way, but it does seem to work out that way. I also have a family member-in-law (that doesn't have internet btw) that somedays drives me nuts. Friday, she called us 6 times and came over 2 times !!! Isn't that ridiculous!! For the first time in 33 years I am sick of the telephone. It rings most of the time now and I don't even stop what I am doing. Anyway, here are some things going on with us this summer in no particular order:
1. Sarah is taking a fun online class where she is reading through Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Which means I have to get her class going online and then help her print everything out and work on it during the week.
2. Sarah is taking a fun online spanish class ......... same as above!
3. I am assigning myself 2 or 3 chores a week to accomplish such as defrosting freezer, cleaning out cabinets, ect.
4. I am working on my two class syllabi for the two co-op classes I am teaching in the fall.
5. I am preparing the work for those two coop classes.
6. I am preparing for our homeschool at the end of July.
7. I am tutoring lil' Michael in reading.
8. I am activities director for my group at our school, so I am planning field trips and play days for the summer and fall.
9. I am helping Michael build mice racks for the building. (He also has certain goals for the next few weeks which I help with)
10. I help feed and water the mice twice daily!
11. I have got to get lil' Michael's room painted by next weekend when we will have company staying with us.....which by the way . . .
12. I have to prepare for company that is coming the next two weekends.
13. We are preparing for the birth of 100 baby snakes. We have to prepare boxes for each one.
14. Michael is going to be off two weeks around July 4th. I will be dedicated to him and his jobs during those two weeks.
15. Julia is old enough for me to mow now while Michael weed-eats. This saves him from having to work on that two days. I mow while he weed-eats.

It seems my source of communication will be late night emailing or blogging! Just wanted to let you mom and everyone else know I am not just sitting here watching the phone ring! haha
