Holther Outreaching

Caroline! Aunt Kathy! Have you been watering your trees? How on EARTH do you have time to be blogging if you are watering your stinkin' trees? See, it is after 11 p.m. here which is the only reason I'm able to blog. I might add that last night at 11 p.m. I was still watering the stinkin' trees. Yes, that is what we are up to. Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink....

Yeah! Ryan is out of school, as of May 23. Zane is out next week. Both promoted to the next grade. My baby in kindergarten. Next thing ya know he'll be moving out just like Jannah and leaving me an empty nester too.

If I told you all the things we have been busy with, you'd be so exhausted. So, I'm thinking of you all and sparing you the details. Let's just say that things aren't going extremely smoothly right now in RonandWendyland and it feels as if I run around putting out all the fires, only in time to deal with the Next Big Crisis. (Not related to the Next Big Loser or the Next American Idol.) If just one or two...things would fall into place it would just be really, really good. So, if you send out thoughts/prayers/good vibes/positive energy - whatever picks your wig - this way I'd appreciate all we can get.

In other news, the boys have their first ever sunburns. I got tired of Ryan's and copycat Zane's new sunscreen battle and let them play out for one and half hours without sunscreen. Ha! Guess who won that battle? (Oh, mommy it hurts! I'll never go out without sunscreen again! You were right!) Doesn't every mother love putting her children into the skin cancer zone just to prove a point? Well ok then, I'm racked with guilt over it yet savoring my victory. Hmmm....

We have six open houses this year - actually eight, but two of them we aren't exactly sure why were invited - and two weddings. All in June. Eeek. Coming up July 4th weekend, we are camping locally this year at Sessions. Come on out! I myself may be in Chicago, but the fam will be there. My friend from Australia is working in Canada for 2 to 5 years. She may be coming to Chicago to visit our friend Susan and if so, I cannot see me missing this opportunity to be there.

Well, Caroline thought she was jabbering! I think perhaps I need to just go to bed. With luck, you are reading this at bedtime and now are sooo sleepy too. TTFN!
