GET OFF YOUR PHONE!!!!

April has been a busy month for us. We have had 6 family birthdays, two bridal showers, soccer, t-ball and softball have started and more Tastefully Simple parties than normal. All in all, it has been a month that has flown by.
Spencer started T-ball last Tuesday. He was very nervous and he told us so. Once he got past the initial nerves and started swinging the bat - then it was all down hill from there. He said "It is better than I thought it would be". He turned 5 on Sunday and it is hard to remember that he is ONLY 5 years old. He has mastered the 3 "R"s. Reading, Riding, and Running.
Brittyn started her second season of soccer last Saturday and she loves it. She plays well and she is getting more aggressive in the game.
We are so glad that the sun is out more and it is warm. I can't wait to get my garden in. I have the seeds started, garden is tilled and ready to go - just need the warmer nights.
For those of you who are on Facebook, I still can't get it too work. It isn't Facebook, it is my computer and .... well, I need a new one, but that isn't happening this year...or next. My computer is only 5 years old. Apparently, that is considered OLD in the computer world. I don't even have a cell phone yet. Why pay to have people be able to reach you whenever. My BIGGEST Pet Pieve is inconsiderate cell phone users. Can't tell you how many times I've avoided an accident because I am paying attention to the road and the other car is on their cell. Hate talking to someone and they get a call and immediately answer their phone. What is so important that can't wait? I don't care how people try to "justify" the cell call, but most (not all) people cannot talk and drive, or talk and shop, or talk and whatever. I should know, I can't even do it at home on a land line! I do have a solution. Turn off the phone while you are in the car, at church, grocery shopping or in a person to person conversation. do you really need to be reached at anytime? People who can be reached at all times are ususally in the medical field and they get paid to answer your call. It probably cost you extra to reach you doctor on-call. Maybe that same principle should be implimented with the cell phone courtesy rules. Maybe not. I'm not saying that cell phones are bad, but they need to be used in a proper way. Not holding my breath that it will happen.
On a brighter note, It is sunny outside and I am going to go clean the house so that I can spend the evening outdoors with my kids and Shane.
