Does Mom Sleep?

Oh my, it made my day! My son asked me this morning, "Mom, do you sleep?" Yes, there is a glimmer of hope every once in a while. Yes, my children do observe and care about their Mom. I can see why he thinks that I never sleep. I am awake when he goes to bed and then when he awakes in the morning, I am already up and going. He never sees me sleep! Yes, I am SuperMom! -- not!

It just made me smile. :)

Today's goal is to write a tutorial on organization (of digital elements). I am not doing too well at my goal. I'm procrastinating it. Hopefully I can keep talking myself into getting it at least started.

The two younger boys are reffing soccer all weekend.

My oldest son traveled with 15 other people to participate in a Frisbie Tournament. That is, Ultimate Frisbie at a tournament with other colleges. His team is representing our university.

He made my day too. He took a moment out on the sidelines of his first game to call his mother, 420 miles away, to tell her how the game was going. Yes, just when you think they are only close to God and not their Mom, they do something like that to make their Mom feel loved.

Unfortunately, his team is not representing the university too well. I think they are mainly there to learn from the other teams by observing them. Really, they even have game plays! And they slept last night, unlike my son's team who only slept from 3 a.m. until 6 a.m. My son is hoping the other teams who get to attend an "over 21" get-together tonight will have hang-overs tomorrow. How funny. I cannot wait to hear this one play out.
It will be The Sleepys vs. The Headaches.

One more week until the 16th birthday party. My second goal today is to plan the food and cake and to shop for a gift (preferably while he is gone reffing). Laundry? Do you think I can get that done too? Or is that pushing it?

That layout above has photos from this morning. I look horrible, especially those dark circles. That's the way I look every day; I think I inherited them. I made all the papers and elements for that page to give away as freebies.

Well, here it comes. Here comes what? The holidays! I read two days ago that there is only about 6 weeks left until Christmas and then someone yesterday said something like 43 days. Really? It will be here before we know it! I have to get through this party first before I can think of Christmas.
