A car with no brakes

HELP!!! I feel like I am in a car with no brakes! I'm so glad that school is out! I love it but hate it! The summer is jammed packed already with loads of things to do and they are all good things! I can't pull out of one of the activities because they are all church related.
One week after school was out, the girls had Girls Camp. Much scrambling was done to gather all the things needed for them to have an enjoyable time. It was an amazing experience for them. They had a great time. It was Sweetheart's first time for camp. I figured everything would be ok for her because she was going with Beauty. I had forgotten that Sweetheart is the girl who always has sleep overs at our home, and rarely spends the night away from us. I also forgot that she doesn't handle confrontation well at all. She experienced some feelings of home sick and we had to send her inhaler. Being homesick toppled with some hurt feelings and small kine drama called for a blessing. ::Sigh:: Then Mr. Incredible spent one night at camp with the girls, we rotate priesthood leaders through our ward. That made things nice but worse. Beauty had an amazing time, she fortified great friendships and made new friends too. Sweetheart ran into a picnic table, needed a doctor and her knew swelled a lot, so much that she had trouble putting her sneaker on the next day. Called for another blessing. Thankfully they were coming home the next day!
GIRLS CAMP was a success and is over with.

During the time of Girls Camp I flew to NC to throw in some work hours. It was so good seeing all my co-workers again. I really missed them. I also missed being there. It was a challenge to remember everything the first shift I pulled but quickly fell into it again by the third shift. I worked I worked 4 shifts in 3 days. The summer thunderstorms were enough for me to call it quits, get someone to work my shift and fly home a day early! UGH!!! never again, will I work two nights! It was hot and humid and I worked a 3 shifts in a row on a double gate that had 5 gates out of ONE DOOR!! Basically, it was hot as hell and it felt like hell too. The airport is under construction and until they get the new gates built, there will be 5 to 6 gates out of one door! Makes for very confused passengers and very upset crew wondering why they are not the first onese to be boarded and pushed off from the gate!

Warrior and Dash held the house down. Actually, when I arrived it looked like nothing was held down and perhaps we experienced a tornado while I was out of town. I've been playing catch up with all of my laundry, the camp laundry and the house laundry. In the mean time, it has been

Cubscout camp for Dash! He is loving it and has been alternating spending the night at a boys house from church and he at our house!

Warrior has been busy getting his wisdom teeth out. The day he came home from surgery he was a bit loopy but it did not take any of his hunger away. He ate a full on meal 3 hours later. He has been eating ever since and you would never know he even had his wisdom teeth. They have healed so well. THANKFULLY, all paperwork has finally been submitted to Salt Lake and now we play the waiting Game.

Tomorrow, the youth have a temple trip. The Mr. and I and all of our children except for Dash will be headed to the temple! That will be so exciting for me! I can't wait to be in the temple with most of my children!! The ward will have their temple trip on Saturday. I'm also making the children wake at 6am to pick blueberries which they have groaned and moaned about. But, they definitely like to eat blueberries by the handful. I hope they have a better appreciation for each berry.

I have not been blogging because I literally have 20 projects that I have started and have not finished one of them!

19. I have an office that is waiting for a make over
20. I need to decide: Do I re paint my bedroom? and keep my comforter or do I keep the paint and look for material or new bedding. (actually, I am on the hunt for the perfect material and I plan to make my own bedding complete with pin pillows and ruffle pillows)

My mind is thinking about all of these projects at the same time. I work on each project about 10 minutes a day, or think about them at least twice a day. I'm setting goals to have them done by the start of the school year. HA!! ....right.

Beauty has been driving quite a bit. Let's just say she is a good driver but if you ever need to tell her anything, she gets a bit grumpy. An emotional driver behind the wheel is not good. How can a driver know everything but not execute it??? I am no longer sitting in the passenger seat. I have relinquished that privillege to Mr. Incredible and saving our relationship! and to quote one of my favorite movies. How to lose a guy in 10 days. I love you Bennie but right now I just don't like you!

The girls and I have a lot of good days shopping with each other. Usually those days are I am the personal shopper. I pull things of the rack and they say yes or no to them. I AM NOT A PERSONAL SHOPPER! If they know what they like, then they will choose it or we go home without any clothes, and I'm quite ok with that.

Oh we both had callings in church and they will be changed next week. I need to start blogging again! But with our extremely SLOW internet service it is really making blogging NOT FUN!!! Notice the lack of pictures?? I'm not getting charged for the amount of uploads. It has cost us over $200 extra. So no pics for now. SORRY!

There are two little frustrations in my end of the woods. I haven't learned how to be effective in those areas, that is why they are frustrating. But, I know the answers will come.
