lately, this is how i have been feeling...squeezed.

• squeezed by time, not enough to accomplish what needs to be done.
• squeezed by appointments, my god, how many can you have in a week?
  
• squeezed by appointments to be made.
  
• squeezed by my thoughts, "please let josh learn to keep his hands to himself in school" and "i hope emmarae talks this year...". (these are just the common themes this week, trust me there are 1000ands of others.
• squeezed by calls i haven't made....beth, i am calling you today! you are not the only one who has not heard from me. LOVE YA!

• squeezed by laundry and other household chores that must be done.

ok....so you get the point. i am rushed and squeezed feeling these days. i have overwhelmed myself with listing the tip of them, so i'll move on.

i notice i never "ended" my last entry in the blog to include the fact that we are HOME from the west trip , i know, a little late for that. Mel, it took us less that 4 hours of flying time to get home from albuqurque . it was a great flight. we seriously slept the entire weekend.

up to date things.......

today is the second day of school. and it's friday!! (why can't we start on a monday??)

one day on the tax-free weekend, while checking out of kohls, the clerk randomly asked emmarae if she would like to model. wow! she shared a number with us and this saturday, she will be modeling at the biltmore square mall women's expo!!! so will her mom....shhhh.
so come see her around 2pm showing fashions for the fashion bug!!

last weekend emmarae spent 4 days at the lake with one of her bff's. such a cool and generous family. they took us out on their boat and instructed josh on water skiing!! he loved it!
i'll post a picture of that as well.

and after that, my dear friend patty invited me to go on the world' longest yardsale down corridor 127. 630 miles of JUNK! like good junk and really bad junk.
thanks for the invite patty. had a great time with you!

sigh.....seriously, everyday this summer has been wide open!

so, now to tend to all the things i need to do.... and think about tomorrow.....and try to get the squeezed feeling out of my life.....hmmm, that's it, life. life is good.
