Things I want to do this summer

Okay, kiddo’s, get out those “pencils” and start writing.  Your topic:  Things you want to do this summer.  I’ll write mine here.

1.  Spend more time at the beach.

2.  Play a lot with my kids (also includes #1 - so it’s a 2-for-1)

3.  Better organize my house.

4.  Re-decorate a bit.

5.  Learn to do some more gardening.

6.  Write!

7. HOPEFULLY have my best friend C. and her daughter out for a visit!  (Maybe some other people too - that would be nice!)
8.  Um - other stuff to be determined.

Activities are not necessarily in that order, but that’s at least the beginning of my list.

So - spill … what are your summer plans?

Your typical apology and a tidbit I found

I’ve been sick.

My hubby’s been very sick.

My youngest child’s been sick.

Therefore, I am still sick.  I am somewhat better in the symptom arena, but still sick and quite exhausted.  Sorry to have been MIA, but what could I do?  So I will try to be back in the posting game on a more regular basis…now that I’m at least mostly conscious.
I am trying to catch up and get back in the game, so to speak.  I have started with my e-mail and all of the blogs I read.  Sh!t - did I miss out!  There were lots of things going on this past week - 10 days - 2 weeks!  AUGH!  And I missed them.  Going out of the loop isn’t always good, I guess.

Well, I am half-way through my 427 blog posts to read - and I found something to share:  THIS from Tamara Siler Jones’ page.

Guests and Sick

This Spring Break has been great and awful all at the same time.

We have had out-of-town guests to run around with - which was great - but I’ve been sick - which has been awful.  Now AJ’s sick, too.
I guess that’s what they mean by “in sickness and in health” - eh?

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid.”

Anyone remember “A Christmas Story”?  Of course you do.  Sadly, Robert Clark, director of “ACS” and several other films, has passed away.  I wish I could say he was very old, and passed in his sleep, quiet and peaceful.  However, Clark, 67, and his son, 22, were killed in head-on collision with a drunk driver.
