Spring has sprung & summer is around the corner. We are creeping up on our one year anniversary here in NC. I can't believe how the time has flown by. Abby is already dug in with her school work and making the high school soccer team (Go West!!). She completed her soccer referee recertification so now she is on the fields as player & ref. She makes a nice piece of change for a 14 yr old & I'm really proud of her. It takes a lot of spunk to make the calls when all the parents are yelling & the coaches are fumming. She is a rock solid kid & I couldn't ask more of her!!!
Ty is growing like a weed. He is perpetually filty, with holes in the knees of every pair of pants he owns. To sum it up....All Boy!!! I try to keep him all spiffed up with the coolest clothes & sneakers but he always manages to find a puddle, patch of dirt, greasy spot, or other manner of impending grime & dives right in. I love him in spite of the fact that he appears to be a homeless kid 50% of the time. What is a mom to do??? Keep the laundry machine going at full power at all times......that's what a mom does.
A few weeks back, I was out on the back patio & I heard this terrible banging/thumping sound. I ran in the house and was rushing around trying to figure out what the heck was happening. I realized the sound was coming from the laundry room & went I attempted to open the door I realized the washing machine was out of balance and the whole machine was thumping and banging and whaming it's way around the room. I believe it was sick of all those disgusting little kids clothes & decided to make a break for it. I'm not kidding in the slightest here....You know in movies & on TV when the washing machine is coming down the hallway (think Mr. Mom). That is exactly what was happening one fine day at my house!! And people say the life of a stay-at-home mom is dull.....How is that for excitement!!!
Well, the dryer is buzzing....time to fold another load. So long for now....
