STOP I'M NOT READY

I can't believe I have less than 2 weeks until my kids go back to school. This has been the most chaotic summer! Connor had fun at scout camp, I had fun at girls camp, Kirk and Matt had a adventure and Philmont followed by Kirks surgery. Our long wonderful trip to Seattle, I just can't believe it all fit in such a short amount of time! Two weeks to go and I haven't bought supplies, backpacks, shoes or anything, haircuts.... holy cow. The picture I got of Connor and I after returning from camp on Saturday seems to sum up my life right now!

Girls Camp 2010

Well I got to spend a few hot but wonderful days at girls camp with our young women this week! It was so much fun, even though it was 95 and 100%humidity. It is on a beautiful lake right inside South Carolina, Lake Hartwell. I had a great time swimming in the lake and hiking with the girls. There is a amazing river with smooth moss covered rocks that they could slide down, I really want to take my family up there! I got to be a hero by putting out a fire on our propane stove, common sense really. We were all protected when the full propane tank someone left in the middle of a driveway was run over and wedged between a tire and the car didn't explode. I did have to come back quickly on Wednesday night when Kirk was taking Matt to the ER when Kirk himself is still recovering. It's a funny story, needless to say everyone is fine. I have large amounts of guilt not being at camp to finish out the week but I know I need to be home taking care of Kirks recovery. He was great and so was my Mother in law and Sis in law for watching my kids for those two days!

Its hard to see, but its Connor rowing

Look before you wash

I learned this weekend if you wash the remote control to the TV it still mostly works. I haven't tried the dyer yet... maybe next time. Kirk didn't find it as interesting to learn as I did. He was rather incredulous that it could happen in the first place. But really when the patient only leaves the bed for short amounts of time I had to wash the sheets quickly, who can check them for controllers. I mean really!! At least I didn't throw a red sock in with them!

Life is busy, a common theme

I'm too tired and overwhelmed and busy and behind to blog. I know I should have used commas in that sentence but it feels busier than a comma signifies ya know? So Kirk unexpectedly was put in the hospital Monday night and then had his gallbladder removed on Tuesday afternoon. The Dr said it went really well and the organ was a huge disgusting, infected, stone filled mess and it's a good thing it's out. So life is crazy busy. Connor goes to scout camp tomorrow, I go to girls camp next Tuesday. It's over 95 here and I'm not sure how either of us will survive. That's all I have time for. If I stop moving for too long I may fall over...

I make such an amazing pizza right now, that I almost, almost don't miss living by a round table pizza. Everyone needs to go check out the California pizza kitchen cookbook from their library! It takes awhile but the homemade sauce is AMAZING!!!
