Technology Era

All the years I spent playing around on my parents' computer has prepared me for this digital age we live in. I could spend all day on the computer and love teaching kids all about it. But all this preparation could never have prepared me how to stay 10 steps ahead of my own kids. I want them to enjoy having all this information at their fingertips, but not at 11:30 at night. There are many days when I wish they wouldn't have so many options and had the non-digital age I grew up in. But then I realize that they must learn how to handle all this so they will have the tools to raise their own children. 

Softball

I was so against adding one more sport to our list. But my youngest kept insisting she wanted to play softball. Of course she loved it and took to it like a duck to water. It's been two years and she has grown into an amazing player. Our weekends now include hours of watching her so her thing on the field. 

Summer

What a year it's been. And by year I mean school year. There's been many ups and downs and all the while learning that I cannot plan as much as I would love to. I work at my kids' school and love every minute of it, but I think this was the hardest year yet, emotionally at least. I'm so glad I can close that book and reflect on how things can be better next year, but also to not worry about it. Summer started off with sleeping in which we all needed especially after date night ended at 1am lol. Today is about cleaning up and trying to get our minds and house ready for some purging so there can be relaxation. I'm looking forward to us being home together and slowing down just a little bit.
