Can I be blunt?

I suck at this!  Blogging I mean...mothering, teaching, homemaking, cooking...not so bad, but blogging, well, I suck.  Would you believe it if I told you I have mentally written multiple new posts this month? I actually feel guilty about not writing posts.   As Bailey would say, "epic fail" (gotta love middle schoolers!).  You all can't read my mind can you? Shucks! That would be so much easier.  I guess I have got to find the time to sit and write and update you all, on the very exciting life of the Boyens! 

I have many wonderful pictures and moments to share.  Post titles might be..."Spring break fun!", "Major family accomplishments..." and a post sure to come "Camping..a Boyen Family First." 

Want to know another thing I suck at...bedtime.  Yea, definitely no good at getting my kids in bed on time.  I get distracted by things like...well blogging!  So off I go, must finish putting these darlings of mine to bed!

Until we meet again, and hopefully it won't be long. ;) I have so much to share.

    Hey we are soul sisters sistah. I haven't written a blog entry since uhmmmm November? I too have plenty of ideas and lots say but darn if life just doesn't get in the way. And bedtime? Oy, I'm queen of the sucktude. My boys run me ragged at bedtime, stalling as all good kiddos do but then they just wo.t go to sleep. They climb out of beds, have parties in the room, cry out for me....I'm torn between bein.f the patient vs loving vs nurturing vs crazy mean mommy vs the I give up, guess we'll all be up til the wee hours mommy.
    You do so much! You dont suck at this at all. You inspire me, so you've got that going for you.

Back-to-school 2024

  I've been avoiding writing again. If I write about back-to-school, I must admit how hard things have been.  My heart has been broken by the harsh reality that my children are grown up. Being a teacher during back-to-school is easy for me. I'm a pro at that. My ELA buddy teacher even told me I could do it in my sleep. But facing the challenges of parenting young adults making major life transitions pulls at my heartstrings.  This school year, I only have two active students right now, and Bailey is in the works for a return to Texas Tech in the Spring semester. Lorelei started back first. She's a Senior! She had her first college visit at the beginning of August and most likely her last! She loved Texas State.   This was followed by Senior pictures.  We grabbed some sushi from our favorite restaurant after.  Then it was Senior Sunrise and the first day of school for her.  My first days back were great. I always enjoy reuniting with my team and We...

Chasing fireflies...Spring of 2024

In April, while in Austin, I was enchanted to see an abundance of fireflies in Savannah's backyard. It brought tears to my eyes, not only because I find fireflies (or lightning bugs as we called them in the Midwest) intriguing and nostalgic, but because it was so fitting for where the Boyen Bunch is in life right now. After several attempts of "chasing" these fireflies with my camera, I captured a picture of one bright one lit up. Nature imitates life. The milestones my kids are reaching this spring are life-changing! The idiom chasing fireflies means chasing dreams, moments, and experiences that are captivating and elusive. We have two graduates this year. Savannah graduated from UT and Jonas graduates today from Comm. Arts HS. The moments this spring are fleeting, just like the light of a firefly. Here one moment and gone the next... I have referred to May as Mayhem for years (not claiming the idea, just saying I've been using this term for a bit). I have many previ...

Enjoying the messiness...

  I have two wonderful, crazy, and messy dogs. They bring joy, cuddles, laughs, and, well, you guessed it, messes. I have shredded rugs, window sills gnawed on, shoes with teeth marks, bare patches of dirt in the backyard, and muddy paw prints everywhere.  Let's remember the people I live with, my teens and, the messiest in our family, my hubby. Not dirty messy, more like clutterbug. And I'm sure he's clutter-blind. Oh, he does his best with reminders, like when I remind him, "Don't forget, I like to eat at the kitchen table." Unfortunately, our breakfast room is on the way to the back door and patio, with a detached garage. John uses the table as a stopping point before putting things out in his garage. Yes, his garage. I stay out of there at all costs!  What's my point? I feel a weird guilt almost daily over the normal messes of life in my house. I make my bed every morning around tiny messes in the corners of the room, where bags of donations have been ...
