- Nancy got a part-time job at the mall near our house. I think her employer doesn't understand child labor laws and Nancy is having a hard time asserting this to them. So, I think I just might be making an anonymous phone call to the Dept. of Labor and filing a complaint on their a$$. I don't encourage quitting, but let's be real here.....she still only has her permit and I am ready to throw my chauffeur cap out the window.
- Sophie is now pitching in softball. It's an entirely new level of worry where our measure of success is getting through the inning without INJURING any batters. She's doing great so far and absolutely loves it. Tim and I are doing our best to stay engaged during games that last longer than my college day double headers.
- Tim's work is busier than ever. He is seriously burning the candle at both ends and I am just trying to make it to summer break before one of us has a breakdown. Thankfully, we are managing and getting through it, but let's not count the number of times I did NOT cook dinner last week. Let's not go there. Please.
- Noah keeps insisting on growing. I don't understand how he can grow so much in such little time. The other day he was wearing pants that could easily be mistaken for capris. Unfortunately for him, the Urkel look is not a good one for him and I am in desperate need of warm weather to arrive so he can just wear his basketball shorts day in and day out. Until then, his ankles are enjoying the fresh air.
- I am busy with work creating the master schedule for next school year. With a school as large as a small college (2500 students), I am ready to pull my hair out.....or at least all the greys. It's a good challenge for me, but every once in a while I wonder who the hell agreed to do this in the first place. Oh...right.....I did.

Updates in a Nutshell
I can't bore all of you with the chaos I like to call "life," but who really knew there was no such thing as overtime in parenting.....it's just ALL THE TIME. Anyway, we have been a busy family with softball season, birthdays, activities, and part-time jobs. I mean, I can't even schedule in a pedicure for myself....what is up with that? Thankfully, I might have one more week before flip-flop season might be here to stay. But until then, I'm rockin' half blue nail polish from Easter because that's how I roll.

Too funny Cheryl...loved the bit about Noah growing--hilarious. Hope you guys are handling the busy days and stress okay. Try to enjoy the summer!
Two things..Did you have to look Urkel up to see how to spell it because if not, you watched that show entirely too much. Secondly, Sophie is pitching? Did you pitch also or did you just WANT to be a pitcher, I cannot remember...pitching is something I know NOTHING about, but I do know as lefty's we always appreciated good control. Almost Summer break, almost there...hang in there!
Nat, I don't come close to understanding your comment about lefty's and their desire for control... geez you act like someone (ehem) hit you often or something! lol.... clearly, there was no long term damage for any of you :) !!! and CP.... seriously, do you think it is healthy for all of to be so busy? I wonder if my days are supposed to fly by with a blur? Can it be good?
