Five on Friday

1. In case you haven't noticed, there is a direct parallel between the busy-ness in my life and my lack of posting on this blog. September has been NUTS! I'm feeling a bit more sane today but that's probably because September is two-thirds complete and I can sort of see some light at the end of my tunnel. Sort of. I am so super duper glad it's Friday! I feel hopeful that I can catch my breath.

2. I don't like to be busy. I just don't see any other way around it with kids, jobs, etc. 

3. Sarah and I went to Arkansas last weekend for our annual mini-family-football reunion. We had a great time and got to see lots of family. The Razorback game is always my favorite part but this year it was a DISASTER. Besides the weather being wet and rainy (and gross), the Hogs came away with an epic loss. I think there were twenty-two of us (family) at the game so when other people started leaving after half-time we moved from our scattered seats and sat together until until the very end. Even though it was a terrible game, we had a lot of FUN being together! I'm not a fickle fan. I'll still be cheering for the Hogs, but let's just say that my Saturdays from now through November won't revolve around Razorback games. Smile.
Here's a few pics.

4. Did I mention it rained in Arkansas? Yep, I think I saw more rain in four days than I have in the last four years. It was crazy. And so was my hair. I am very very very very very thankful for dry, Colorado air when it comes to my hair! Humidity is NOT my friend.

5. I became an aunt again on Wednesday! My sister had a baby boy. I was so hoping she would have him while I was home but alas, it didn't work according to MY plan. :) 

We are all so excited for them.

I've got more on my mind but my to-do list is calling. I really like to get things accomplished on Fridays so I can REST on weekends. I am very stingy with our weekend commitments because of our need for downtime! (See #2 above.) Hope everyone has a great weekend.
