Faster

The kids had a meet at PORTA this evening. They’ve had such a fun season this year with lots of PR’s. Elianna PR’d again in the mile and 800 and Judah’s 4×4 relay team got 1st place. They are 1.34ish seconds off of the state qualifying time and I think that’s hilarious. I really didn’t see it happening for them but if Judah can run faster they might have a shot. Two of the boys I think have probably maxed out their times.

As in they’re already going as fast as they can. It’s funny how it’s different when you’re not the mom of the kid. The boy whose job it is in the relay to catch everybody up so the anchor can finish, he’s the fastest on the team. I told him last night after his awesome run, “That was awesome”. His mom who I was talking to said to him after me, “Don’t you think you should probably cool down? This concerns me”. Sigh.

Judah would have to run faster and everyone else would have to run their absolute best. So I don’t know what the odds of that are but the girls have their sectional meet this Thursday and the boys have theirs next week sometime. I still feel so much better with the semester being over but their still is lots on my mind and going on. Graduation is this weekend. My dad is having surgery this Thursday here in Springfield.

We’re trying to nail down a date to have a bridal shower for Laura. Her mom and I have been going back and forth with dates and checking in with the various people. It’s crazy how fast the summer has already filled and we haven’t even gotten to the actual camp yet. I told Ethan that during his free time in May, I would help him if he wanted, but he needed to be going through and packing up his room. He agreed it seemed.

I dread the summer every year. The boys and I cleaned up the front of the house and it once again no longer looks so neglected. I’m still trying to repent of my sloth but it’s one of those things so ingrained and twisted in that I’m afraid it is going to be a very slow process. I don’t mean afraid like I am actually afraid I just mean I see and am accepting the reality. I feel like love is there which for me is good motivation.
