Mother's Day

Just like every other day in the Hughes house....

I prepared breakfast, lunch and dinner. Made a cake. Did laundry & dishes. Chased babies and broke up brotherly fights. Redirected a hundred "I'm bored" comments. Helped a child with a school project. All before 1pm and all while battling a case of acute bronchitis.

I did get a few school made gifts from Jacob and Zach and of course I treasure them. I love the ones where they describe me or why they love me, makes me realize the little things like baking a cake and helping with school projects really do matter. And though they may not say thank you or show enormous gratitude, they are greatful.

But...I did keep repeating "five more days" to myself, since that's when I finally get a break as I am beach bound with my girlfriends for a weekend of fun in the sun and zero responsibilities for anyone other than myself.

Abandoned Ship

Again, I've abandoned ship here at the ole blog. Let me see if I can recount some of what has happened in the last few months.

Baseball season started for Neal
I aced A&P II
We had 3 more birthdays (Jacob turned 8 April 1st, Zach turned 7 April 7th, and Neal turned *gasp* 12 May 5th)
Mikey had his tonsils and adenoids out April 27th
I got acute bronchitis
Eli added more teeth, inlcuding some molars

So once again, I'm going to set a goal for myself on this blog, to post more, to not let my life and my boyz chilhoods pass by unnoted. Maybe if I set a 3 posts a week goal I can stick to it. Who wants to take bets on how long that lasts?

I've got $20 that says I'll see you again in a few months....
