Moments of time

I have been running 

Not literally

But 

Life has had me going 

In many different directions

The end of the school year

Seems to be super busy

Between tests,field trips,concerts,awards ceremonies

The Kid and I 

Are busy

The LAX season ended 

On a wet note

Our last game was canceled 

Due to a flooded field

The heavy rains made it so we had no true ending

It just ended

Kinda a bummer

The Kid loved playing LAX

And even with all the traveling 

I can't wait to let her do it again next year

The last game we got in.It was about 92 degrees out and the cicadas were deafening

.

 The Kid made it 

Through her first year of Middle school

Thank god!

I won't say it didn't have ups and downs

In the end the we left 6th grade with smiles

Proud of my girl

She made

High Honors 

For the entire school year

The Kid 

Also turned 12

During all the craziness of the end of the year

I felt like I failed as a mom

I didn't plan anything for her birthday really

Not for lack of trying

I started asking her in May 

What she wanted to do

She kept saying nothing

All she wanted

Was to spend time with the people she loved

So in the end that is what we did

No big party

No gifts really exchanged

Just some time with family 

And an ice cream cake

It was a great day

And

With smiles like this

I think the Kid was happy with her choice

 

So it is now the end of June 

All ready

Summer is in full swing

Our schedule is filling up

With fun things

So much lazy afternoons

Summer Sizzle Basket season is set to begin

Practices have been going on for about a month

What I love about this is I don't have to drive anywhere

The Kid can walk to practice and the games

WOO HOO

For my wallet

I also in the midst of planing a trip to DC

With my mother the Kid and myself

 I have never been

So if anyone has some suggestions  let me know

The Kid and I 

Also have a concert date 

Quickly approaching

Big Time Rush

(again)

We saw them last year with a group of friends

But this time around she wanted it to be just us

I'm going to enjoy this moment

Because I know soon enough

Going to a concert with your mom

Will not be the "cool" thing to do

I know I rambled a bit

But 

That is my life at the moment

Rambling around 

Living life

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer now that it has begun!
