I'm back

I have terribly neglected this blog for months! I have finally found some energy so it's time for an update.

Today is so much better than yesterday and it's all about my frame of mind. I was tired & felt yucky yesterday so I wasn't much fun for the boys to be around and we had a really rough day. I feel great today and we have had a good time so far. Not much going on at the moment. Zane is in afternoon summer school for a couple more weeks- yeah!! I relish my 3 hours of freedom every afternoon. He is such a super control freak- can you imagine having to argue about everything?! He has to have everything his way, what shirt he wears, what cookie he eats. It's very exhausting for me some days.

We aren't doing anything special for July 4th next week. We have a friend that has a BBQ every 4th and the Village of Roselle's fireworks display is almost in their backyard so we go go every year to see that. Last year Zane got very scared of the fireworks display so it shall be interesting this year to see how he does.

We are going to Banff, Canada in just a few weeks. We'll be gone July 29-Aug 6. I'm getting into planning mode now and it will be nice to have a change of scene. We'll be in the Canadian Rockies and we're traveling with my parents. Joe wants to go white water rafting and I hope we can go on a horseback ride. We'll probably also do lots of hiking and site seeing with the kids. It's only a few weeks away but it feels like it's eons. I'm looking forward to being in the mountains.
