Weekly Wrap-Up

March13

It’s a beautiful day. It’s finally starting to feel like Spring finally. Too bad I still have the cough. Here’s what happened this week.

Jumpshot finished The Lightning Thief all by himself. I’m so proud of him. James took him to see the movie today as a reward.

The biggest excitement this week has come from the arrival of the Crane Flies. They look like really big mosquitoes, but they don’t bite. They just flutter around scaring the children. Jumpshot and Diva take turns throwing basketballs and volleyballs at them. Manchild hunts them down for me to kill.

A couple nights ago, several came in the house at one time. James tried to catch one, but it escaped, and I caught it instead. James put his hand out seemingly so I could transfer the Crane Fly in my hand to his. As soon as I opened my hand, he put his hand on mine and squashed the bug between our hands! Can you believe this?

I’m currently tackling my CHAOS and hope to have it conquered real soon. Plus I have some catching up to do with my family and a cold to get over. Have a great week everyone!

Don’t Wake the Kids is a blog featuring Sally and sometimes James, a husband and wife team, talking about their life – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Together, they will put their life on display, imperfections and all, with the hope that you will find it uplifting, entertaining, and amusing.

About Sally

For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a mother. God blessed me with three wonderful children, who keep me going. My husband and I have been married for almost 12 years, and he’s my best friend.

I work full-time outside of the home and try to volunteer as much as I can at my children’s school. I love to bake and accidentally found out about cakepops, and I can’t stop making them. I love to scrapbook, when I find the time, but I’m still intimidated by 12×12 layouts. I also like to crochet, but I’ve only made scarves. I use it to pass the time while waiting at the doctor’s office or practice or for meetings to start.

I try to have it all, and I hope my blog lends support to other moms who mess up, want to pull out their hair, but who wouldn’t want to trade their lives for anything – just like me.

People ask me how do I do it all. I am always flattered by this, and my answer is always the same – I don’t sleep. I only get a lot done after everyone falls asleep. James came up with the name of our blog Don’t Wake The Kids because of my nocturnal nature.
