Remember me???

Ugh, this is my with my head in a bag, admitting that it’s been THREE months since I’ve posted.  Goodness, how did that happen?  Uh, I guess it’s this thing called life.    A lot’s happened in those three months.  I’ll give you the highlights then tell you about the fun I had last night.

February ended with me being extremely busy with work.  So busy, in fact, that I had to hire an assistant in March.  She’s in college, super on it and comes to the office almost every day.  She rocks, I love it.  March also had me traveling down to Texas to visit a great client/friend, Candy of OffAssist in Austin then down to San Antonio to watch my amazing Goddaughter, Bethany, graduate form Air Force BMT.

Of course, if I had a better camera, OK, if I had a camera other than my phone I would have a better picture for you…but I’m still proud. 

April, of course, was the end of tax season and to say it was a blur is an understatement.  I survived it so that’s good.    Tami found out in April that she got a job so she started the plans to get an apartment for her and Rider.  I’m excited that she has her own place and happy to have my place back but I miss them. 

May found me going to Miles City, MT for the Bucking Horse Sale and my mom’s cousin’s 45th anniversary party.  Both were a BLAST.

I came home from that trip to an empty house and lots of work to get caught up on. I swear, sometimes I wonder if vacations are even worth it.

So, here we are to Memorial weekend.  Saturday I was L-A-Z-Y and it was GREAT.  Yesterday we took the boat out on a lake east of here then down the river.  It was SO much fun, except for the light sunburn I got.  But, even that isn’t too bad.  I also got to drive the boat for a while.  Brian would have let me drive longer but I was getting nervous because I didn’t know where we were going and I was getting close to the area that we had to paddle through on the way in because the grass was so high.

Last night I did the insane fun sleepover with ALL the kids.  Yes, I hosted a sleepover for a 2 1/2 year old, almost 5 year old and 5 1/2 year old.  It was a blast.  They got here around 8PM (which was the only bad part but we’d been on the boat all day) and we made homemade lemonade.  Then I downloaded Ant Bully off Netflix for us to watch.  We put the air mattress in the living room and all snuggled down on it to watch the movie.  Kyle and I fell asleep and the older two woke me up when the movie was over.  Then we went to bed.  Rider decided he wanted to sleep with me because “Ally wakes up to early”.  I couldn’t argue.  So asleep we went, at 11PM.    Sigh.

Then, bright and early, Ally and Kyle woke me up at 6AM.  When will these kids learn to SLEEP IN?  Sheesh.  I got up with them and let Rider sleep. I downloaded Madeline on the computer for them to watch and fell back asleep in the living room while they watched their movie.  Rider woke up at the end of that movie and we made pancakes.  The first set were shaped with my pancake shapers (a bear head, heart, and star) but then we just ate circle pancakes.

After breakfast was cleaned up we watched Ant Bully again (well, they did, I fell back asleep).  When that was over they were hungry again so we had chocolate ice cream.  It’s a sleepover, who cares that it was 9AM.  Then we got dressed, and cleaned up for mommys to come.

Today, I’m playing my new favorite obsession game Farmtown on Facebook while Rider watches The Specatular Spider-Man marathon while his mom does some shopping.

So, there you have it.  My life the past three monhts in 700 words or less.
