WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT TODAY?

When my kids stood at the foot of my bed with big smiles on their faces at 6:00am this morning, I thought it must be Christmas morning. After all, isn't Christmas morning the one time each year, that your kids wake you up with smiles?
Well, after my brain rebooted and I could assure myself it wasn't Christmas...although today may be some close competition...it became clear to my recollection that today is Star Wars Day!

When we were having a random family council about what to do with our last week of summer, the most exciting idea was to have a Star Wars Day. This entails watching all six Star Wars movies in one day. I'm hoping not too many brain cells die, and it looks like it'll be a great way to conclude summer vacation.

Anyhow, the kids get to watch Star Wars all day, and I'm off to meetings at the Preschool. It seems like since the beginning of this week, I've hit overload. There is so much going on in my life and in my brain right now...to say the least, I'm just a bit overwhelmed.

The boys finished their last week of swimming lessons...they did so GREAT! I've loved their teacher this year and so have they--it's been their most positive swimming experience yet.

The girls and I walked the junior high halls helping Kelsi find all of her classes. Wow!--2 in junior high!---next thing I know I'll have 2 in college...time is just flying by!

I did the finalizing of my purchase of a new violin and I love it! I'm so excited...it's something I've wanted for a long time. And I'm really looking forward to taking violin lessons this fall!

We're in quite the mess lately as our bedroom area is in 'ruins' as we're in the middle of a 're-model'...but it's an exciting change. The closets are finished and waiting for me to paint them.. Only problem is that right now is the worst timing possible for me to do something like paint closets! Hopefully, I'll find some time sooner than later.

Well, I'm off to tackle the tasks of today. It's all good...just reminding myself to ENJOY LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME!
