My blog is like a metaphor for my life...

...everything is changing too quickly for one thing. I tried to change my header picture and it will either show up teeny tiny like it is or ginormous, so it's teeny tiny, and I have no time or patience to deal with it. I tried to put that link for online audiobooks on here and the link didn't work. Again, no energy to deal with it (or with the fact that that alone is not a complete sentence). Two weeks from today we'll be essentially on our California trip (though still in south Florida). Before that we have, I think, 9 more performances of the Senior Tour show that Jonathan and Madi are a part of I'm Healthy and I Know it (more on that in a sec); Five performances of Willy Wonka; Four virtual classes that need to be completed; two Sundays with a Scaringella cantoring; one house guest; one Confirmation; only one more soccer game (soccer buffs would have five more games (two for Jake and three for Madi), but our spinning out of control life makes it impossible to be in two places at once and such we will not be at those games) and a whole bunch more life going on. Yesterday alone, Jonathan and Madi and friends had four senior tour performances (two each at two different elementary schools). I was a driver and chaperone. This involves a really fun day of watching a really cute show written by the kids and a lot of time spent watching cute kids and a variety of teachers (some much nicer than the average homeschooling mom and some much much worse), a free fun fried lunch with good conversation, and as many kids as can humanly fit in my 8 passenger vehicle. After that we had a short break where we had many of those kids here to hang out and play rockband and taboo before we all headed to Chick-fil-a and another performance, this time songs from Willy Wonka. This involved more free food fried for the kids and the irony of I'm Healthy and I Know it wasn't lost on anybody. Full day right? Well for your average nut it might be, but since we are not your average nuts, and Mike's brother and girlfriend were going to be down at Disney, we headed to Downtown Disney after that. We finally made it home just before midnight but couldn't sleep until we watched the express version of the dvr-ed American Idol. Crazy crazy I know! To some people this sounds insane, to others it sounds typical. I know some people think "busy" is kind of a badge of honor, and others think it's a sin. I'm not typing this for praise or criticism, but because this is where I blog about our life and this most certainly is our life!! While no day ever did or will look exactly like yesterday, it is a very good snapshot of typical day around here. Today will be an even more typical day where I yell that the kids better get cracking on their virtual classes and where I spend time alternately laying on the couch reading my book and cleaning up for a family celebration for Madi's Confirmation. Stuff like the dust on the bookshelf will get forgotten like the tiny picture in my header, and the improtant things like family and sacraments will take center stage. *Yes, this is the first blog post where I actually outed our last name (I think my five {and only 2 of them comment} remaining readers already know our last name), but since we haven't been stalked or tracked down yet, I'm not concerned in the least.
