Where to Start?

It has been almost a month again since I have been on here. I don't know what happens in between the thought process that I want to write something and sitting and doing it, but obviously there is a break in the chain and now I am left wondering where to start.

I guess I will start with me. Things have been hectic and I feel like I am losing my mind most days, but there is hope on the horizon. I think I have finally finished all of Dawson's meetings for kindergarten next year and now just have to decide whether or not to pursue things with Colton. I did manage to get my hair done today which was awesome! I went really short, the shortest I have ever gone and lightened it up considerably for the summer. James and I have been doing the "Love Dare" book from Fireproof and it has been making things go from good to even better, so that is nice.

James is good, but I feel bad for how much he has to work. He is such a good provider and I am blessed that he feels it is important for me to stay home and has never put any pressure on me to work. He is settling in to his position as Engineer very well and I think that is where he will finish out his career.

Dawson, Dawson, Dawson. This kid cracks me up! You never know what he is going to say or do. Yesterday was the last day of swim lessons for the session and he was wearing new swimming trunks. James asked if they would stay up in the water and before I even said "yes," Dawson had pushed them halfway down his bottom to show us how loose they were. I think he may be an exhibitionist. Then tonight at dinner while he was waiting for the food, he must of gotten bored and I noticed him wading up the paper napkin into little balls, stuffing them up his nose and proceeding to blow them out. That was until one got stuck and he picked it out. Hope there is no cocaine habit in his future. :) Overall, he is doing really well though and I am looking forward to see how he progresses in kindergarten.

Colton. My sweet, sweet Colton. He has such a big heart which is great, but it leaves him a lot of places to get hurt. Tonight was the Tribal Challenge at church and he went with his friends. He ended up running into a boy in his class that he has had some other issues with this year and by time I came to pick him up was very sad. I wish so badly that he wouldn't let others get to him that way, but it is hard to teach something that I myself don't have. He is doing great in second grade academically, but as the year ends, it looks as though we may need to come up with more of a game plan for next year. He just ended football last week and is looking forward to playing basketball in the summer.

In 25 days, we leave for vacation and I can't wait. We will be going to Lake Tahoe again and I hope we have just as nice of time as last year.

I just looked at my 101 goals list and have found that I haven't managed to accomplish any more of the goals on it yet. However, I am close to 5 of them so maybe as I accomplish them it will give me something to write about. Not that my family doesn't give me enough now, I just need to find the time to recall and write it down.
