Just like priding myself for not mixing up the boys’ names (at least until the fourth one came along, oy), I used to make fun of my mother for needing events in my sister or my lives in order to remember something. She still adds thirty years to my age to remember her own. (Of course, it’s a neat trick and I do it too, LOL.) I realized this month I’ve become my mother, which is far from a bad thing as she’s an amazing woman, when I was helping the wee beasties with some school projects.
Wee Beastie #1 had a family tree project and, with most of my genealogy research packed, I had to rely on the ol’ gray matter. There were a few holes, LOL. Luckily, wedding album to the rescue for the names I knew but wasn’t quite sure of the spelling.
Wee Beastie #3 had a life event timeline project and this is where being my mum came in, LOL.
They both got an A so I must not have been too off.
Then, dude, football. Four days a week. ‘Nuff said.
Wee Beastie #3’s choir wraps up tomorrow. That means school will be out in five weeks!
April was supposed to be CampNaNoWriMo for me. I had a couple sweet days in the beginning but couldn’t maintain. I don’t know if it’s the story or if it’s me. I need to evaluate where I want to go, and if I have the drive to get there.
Right now, there are too many pans in the fire.
Wishing you all a blessed day.

Morning, Raelyn. With everything you’ve got going on, you’re handling everything marvelously. Not to worry. Besides, you can always try Camp Nano in July – or August, I’m not sure. It would be great if you joined our cabin.
Think about it – generally we’ve been lucky so far with friendliness and encouragement. I’m sure we’d love to make room for you.
Enjoy your day…
Oy, I don’t even want to think of another Camp at this point. Thanks Lara:)
I *barely* made the word count for Camp this month. Manic weekend of catching up. You’ve got so much going on I don’t know how you keep it all straight! You’ll get there, it’s just finding the balance. I keep trying to writing in the mornings before work, but the evenings end up being better. But it also means I don’t get to write every day either. Good luck!!
Mornings have to be slated for exercise/dog walking, it’s already 60+ when I get up at 5am. The nights are full, at least for a few more weeks. We’ll see what the summer brings 🙂 Thanks Mel.
I was wondering if the heat had hit yet. I just need to quit being a bum and get up at 5 like I used to and exercise. Stay cool 🙂
NaNo was a bust for me too this April. Too much drama going on at the job.
Glad I’m not alone Diana 🙂 Thanks, and best wishes with the job situation.
April seemed to shoot through here like a wind on a mission..
I was thinking more like a hurricane, LOL.Thanks Angela.
