So, there has been lots of action here over the past week. We have been through 2 graduations, 1 party for graduation, 1 child move out with no warning, (oh wait, I mean adult because 18 does mean you can do whatever the %*#@ you want to do without regard for anyone's feelings right??), 1 child end a long year on a positive note, 1 child end elementary school - meaning no more elementary school :o(, making one sad mommy as she learns that her babies are growing up, first time for kids to stay home alone all day. Nothing burnt down, and a leak was discovered and stopped by Princess A, first veggies were harvested this week from the garden, and we went on our date night to the mall. And that's only been in the last 7 days. Where does this ride stop, I want to get off!!!!????
Wow that was a long sentence. Hmmmm. If only this had been a bad dream, and I could now wake up.
I've said it many times to myself and others this week, and I do believe it - God knew this was coming and knows what will happen next. I'm glad I don't have to figure it out. I can pray and let God worry.

Not Me Monday - Take 1
Love Love Love McMama over at My Charming Kids, and love her fun and honest look at motherhood and life in general. So here is my first ever post for "Not Me Monday."
1. Over the weekend, I did not think to myself - "you know self, I don't remember the last time I cried" (thinking - I don't think that has ever happened in the last 15 years), and then proceed to have a small little crying breakdown on Sunday.
2. Nor did the king and I (hehe. that makes me laugh) sing along to "I Got You Babe" on the radio, not once but twice.
3. That was not me who spent 45 minutes cleaning out the dryer vent of 15 bobby pins, 3 toothpicks, and 4 years worth of lint.
4. I know you did not see me at the walking program at work over lunch not able to touch my toes while we were stretching - nope that wasn't me.
What about you, what were you not caught doing?

1 post down, 99 to go
Well, our president has recently celebrated his 100th day, so what better time to start a blog? In blogdom, you have arrived when you've reached your 100th post. So, the way I see it, only 99 more to go.
I bet you are dying to know who is here, where we are and what is going on in FuYah - what adventures are we on right now? For those new to the kingdom, we are a royal family of the King, the Queen (that's me) and Princess G, the young Prince, & Princess M, and royal beast MD. We're located in a college town, which means there is lots to do, and sometimes lots of traffic. What is going on, well right now we were doing lots of home redecorating, but we've slowed down a little - another story for another day.
We managed to survive prom season with Princess G & DB (Dream Boat). Still looking forward to...graduation, the party and college visit/registration day for her, hopefully passing all classes for the Prince and the last day of elementary school for Princess M.
Frankly, I'm looking forward to Jamaica, the mission trip. But we must make it through the month of May first. I'm just being selfish for thinking ahead to Jamaica.
I've loved reading lots of "mommy blogs" but never really found one that reflects the life I live, so I'm hoping to find some people to relate to - those of us who aren't mommy anymore, but mom, and sometimes (say it with me - with Attitude) "Mother! (rolling eyes). Hope you'll come back and trek through life in the teenage years with me.
