Hello! 

I know I have been absent here, and for good cause.   I don’t know where the time has been flying to these days, but it seems each day has been busier than the last!  Our cup has been spilling over this spring season.  When I was uploading pictures today, it was quite clear where my time has been going (and why I haven’t shown any new jewelry in ages!).

Come if you will, and step in to my shoes (my son sure did).  I’ll take you on a quick tour of what I’ve been up to lately!

Hmmm…..let’s see.  I run a taxi cab service, except the cab is my van.   I remember when  my older sons were toddlers, there was this mom of 3 boys who described how she drove the kids around nonstop and just barely made it to the McDonald’s drive-through in between places.  Now I can understand what she was talking about!  Between the boys, we have Boy Scouts – had a wonderful field trip to Great Falls Park over the weekend- swimming, tennis, chess club and lacrosse.

In between it all there is HOMEWORK.  Lots and lots of homework.

But it’s a full life.  I  know I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I am still mindful to “stop and smell the roses”, as I discussed in a recent post.  In fact, my oldest son and I stopped and picked the clovers just the other day.   Would you believe we found 18 four leaf clovers!  We also found 3 five leaf clovers (who ever head of that…and what does that mean?) I got the message loud and clear:  I may be  kinda crazy and busy, but I’m also very lucky!

My blog title states that life my life is a zoo…. and today I really got to go to one.  I was a chaperone on a field trip with my Kindergartener and we enjoyed the sun, some amazing animals, and lots of laughs.  It’s amazing what a Kindergartener will laugh about – oh if we could only be that carefree!  Take a look at some of the animals we saw today…they seem to have the carefee part down.

Thanks for stopping by and making it through this long post……my next one will be about jewelry!  May you have many carefree moments and lots of laughter this week!
