We Survived the First Year!
These two couldn't be happier to be back home! LOL
and now, we get to tackle all of this!
There are a few other suitcases out of the cameras view, but the girl did good! She had everything but some clothes (which we were bringing suitcases for) all packed neatly and ready to go.
As we were fighting the other students and parents taking things to their cars (how many can fit in an elevator???), we got more comments about how organized and neat she was!!! Most were juggling overflowing laundry bags, baskets, clothes on hangers. One mom was even carrying a wind chime while trying to juggle other miscellaneous items.
We walked by many rooms that literally looked like a bomb had just gone off!! Welcome to the life of a college freshman living in tight quarters.
My hubby just laughed..."the girls obviously got mom's organizing gene!" Pretty much.
It will take us a couple days to unwind and unpack, and then I have jury duty next week, so I hope to be able to blog a little more frequently after that.
Hope everyone is enjoying the end of the school year!!

Help Wanted: Mother
Job Description:
MOST Coveted
MOST Demanding
MOST Rewarding
Experience: None
Hours: Not Enough In the Day
Pay: Hugs and Kisses
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: " Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Proverbs 31: 28-31
Praying you all have a Wonderful and Blessed
Mother's Day!
The peonies in my garden bloomed just in time! Aren't they gorgeous?
