I have to confess. As I get older, getting only 4-5 hours of sleep is not cutting it. Still tired this morning after 6 hours. I can deal with tired. One day my girls will be grown up and on their own. THEN I will miss theclong, full, loving, sometimes frustrating days.

Share the link to the store please. Would love to see it grow even more…even to the point of outgrowing the garage and needing it’s own space. 
SUMMER!
Summer is in full swing. Haven’t been hitting blogs or social media nearly as much as usual lately. There is just too much going on. LOVE it though. Busy, busy, busy. Happy busy.
Tell you what though. I am looking forward to vacation! I’m sure that will be busy too, I mean we are taking our 3 kids plus an extra friend to hang out with our oldest daughter. Sand, Surf, Seafood, Sights….Still have an entire month to wait.
In the meantime, a trip to the Chicago area next weekend to watch our oldest run at the Region 7 USATF meet in the 800 and 1500 meters. Hoping she qualifies for the National meet (most likely in the 800). Of course that will present another set of challenges. It is in Wichita the week before vacation…the end of the week, leading into vacation….but, one step at a time
Great weekend
Had a wonderful weekend with my hubby and kids. Nothing special……just being together. And now Monday is here……I will be honest and tell you I would MUCH, MUCH rather keep hanging out with the people right here.
On to Regionals!
Looks like a trip to Chicago-land in about 3 weeks. My oldest daughter ran 2 events at the Indiana Jr Olympic meet and qualified for the Region 7 meet in both. She placed 7th in the 1500 and she took 3rd in the 800. Even better, she set a new personal record in both.
The little girls decided not to go with us to Indy for the meet. They WILL be going with us to Plainfield IL though. Might be interesting! Especially coming back as it is going to be LATE getting back on a Sunday night. Oh, and I HAVE to work the next day. Already have a couple people off on that Monday. I can sleep in the car coming home right? Looking forward to it in spite of the lack of sleep that I know will come with it. Oh, and I better get myself in gear and get my new DSLR before then! Want some GOOD shots!
Ahhhhhhh
So nice. I took today off. And I slept until almost 8. Feels god occasionally to do that. Feels better to not be the first one up!
Up now though so time to get myself and the kids ready for our day.
Little ones are excited. They are spending the day at Case Maria then my aunt is tucking them up after work. I see tons of fun for them coming up this weekend.
The rest of us plus Maria’s daughter are heading to Noblesvile (near Indy) for the USATF Jr Olympic State track & field meet. 17 kids from the local club are competing. Hope to watch them all qualify for the regional meet!
Morning
Up, getting ready for work. Everyone else in this house is sleeping. What I REALLY want to do at this very moment is snugly in bed with my little girls.
Summer Track
So, all three girls decided they wanted to participate in the local USATF summer track club this summer. They practice 3 nights a week from 530 to 730. Hubby is coaching the long jump kids and helping in other areas. I could be heading home after work and enjoying the quiet. However, I have been choosing to take shorts and shoes to work with me and go out to the high school where they are practicing. And walk, or something. Friday, while kids were on the track, I walked around the school a few times. Tonight…..stairs, plenty of stairs. Still not as much as I should be doing (stay close so I can steer the 5 year old back to the track after her many “bathroom” breaks) but it’s more than just coming home to enjoy the quiet. I know me, that would equal something on Netflix!
This weekend is the USATF Jr Olympic State meet. Only our oldest is competing in it though. The little girls have opted to stay with my aunt rather than go to Noblesville. hmmmm, can’t say that I blame them!
Themes….
what do you think? I changed the theme here. Not sure how long this one will stay up. I like it but I’m not sure this is “it”.
Not changing it tonight though. Long couple weeks at work, I’m less than 2 hours shy of 80 hours with a whole day left in the pay period (and there was a HOLIDAY in this pay period!). I am TIRED and going to bed! OK, I know I say that often and don’t actually make it but I’m at least thinking about it.

My daughter and some of her friends have been having a blast, creating a band and doing covers for YouTube. Here is one of the first they posted.
