A friend mentioned that she actually read my blog and I thought that I ought to update the poor neglected thing. May was absolutely crazy! I hardy sewed at all. My oldest's birthday begins our whirlwind of activity on the 10th. We celebrated at a local pizza/party place; which I may add, had the worst pizza I've ever put in my mouth. At least she had fun. My second daughter decided to get a mild stomach bug at said event and threw up in the middle of the floor while spinning around looking for the bathroom. The following day was my birthday; woohoo happy 37th to me. I don't think we did much except for eat lunch out. Oh, and I forgot Mother's day......I don't remember much about that either except for receiving a strawberry plant. The 12th I had an orthodontic adjustment for the first time in 5 months! And so, for the 13th, our anniversary, I could hardly chew an overcooked noodle, much less a gourmet meal. fun.
The next weekend we took an on-a-whim trip to Mexico. I spent some of my childhood in Brackettville, TX near Del Rio. So we tip-toed around my old stomping grounds and went over the border to Ciudad Acuna, Mexico. It is a lovely, small, and quiet town. We enjoyed walking around town and eating fresh fruit and shopping. In case you are wondering, there wasn't a single case of swine flu in that state in Mexico. Apparently the tourists didn't know that because there was hardly anyone there.
The next Thursday I left early in the morning with the girls for yet another trip. We stopped in Austin to see my two lovely cousins and eat lunch. Then I drove up to Southlake and spent the night with my parents. We had hit Fort Worth at exactly 5 o'clock, so it took me nearly 2 hours just to get through town. major ug! I was ready to sleep! The next day we drove up to Missouri with my parents for a wedding of a good friend. That was a good, but lengthy trip. I enjoyed seeing people I hadn't seen in several years.
Well, now here we are in June! I am busy making bags for those who love the 4th of July. I am also designing new things in my mind. My daughters are in the middle of our school year now. We are on a funky schedule. We are blessed to have full tummies, a roof (though it be a noisy one from upstairs neighbors), and our family. I am learning to just be content with these. Next week I will be helping out with vacation Bible school at our church.......we shall see.
