However, I have to do a wooo hooo call out, I ranked a visit; okay at least a comment left; from ~e~, damn I feel luky!!! :mouse Seriously, glad to see ya ~e~ hope life is treating you and yours wonderful!!!
Well, in our household, if life wasn't busy enough for us, baseball season kicked in full force!!!! Just this week alone, let's see if I can break down our disfunctional life.....................Speedbump, away on a business trip in Atlanta the first part of the week. During that time, for the first time in our married life, we had to arrange, take to school, pick ups, gymnastics, baseball practice, baseball games; which were suppose to be home and due to field issues wound up away; leaving me scrambling to find places for Little Ms. Prissy to go on school nights so I could go to games, get home, get Ms. Prissy, get her to bed and homework, feed Q17, calm him down get him to bed. Then my night began.....laundry, cleaning house, taking care of the other children whom were on complete strike and dysfunction.....yes the dogs. And somewhere during all that mania speed and myself talking for 5 minutes at best to discuss the days events..............
The saga continues.........
Ms. Prissy has a break down missing "daddy", Q17 thinks I'm an idioit and challenges me and my authority, he lost badly, Ms. Prissy looses another tooth, and somewhere in all this I have to figure in time to work from home. HA
Finally Speed makes it home safely, says another thank you prayer!!!! Ms. Prissy is up before 6 a.m. as she missed her daddy, but daddy has to be gone by 6:30 a.m. the next day after getting home close to midnight . No time for mom and dad.......up at the crack of dawn for the begining of a baseball tournment weekend!!! Starting of course TODAY!!! Neither Speed nor myself were able to make it to games today, but tomorrow, during my work schedule I had to schedule after school pick ups for Ms. Prissy, rides to the out of town tournmantes for myself, Speed working on bids needed in ASAP and Speed and I looking at each other in wonder of where does it end..........
Then to add to the already hetic schedule a phone call comes in from a scout pushing us to committ Q17 to his team for the summer. Not this early in the game, and so many other high possiblities out there from last year, I'm not committing to anything yet!!! Especially at the price being asked!!! Ms. Prissy's melt down due to pure exhaustion, the scout not taking the hint causing us to say WE HAVE TO GO NOW!!! Q17 and boys wandering in and talking about the games tonight........and recaping the scouting talks from the night before I had with 5 major league scouts about Q17.
Yet at the end of this gripe, you are right I wouldn't trade it for the world. What I've learned through all this caous.......I actually do love my husband and would be locked up by now without him :lol, my eldest pride and joy is excelling, growing and beyond all I could have dreamed for his future............he is working for his DREAM!!!! My yongest pride and joy, although right now feeling jilted and neglected, is excelling in gynmastics and social life, she is beautiful and about to turn SEVEN in less than 2 weeks..............where does the time go????
In summary, life is busy, hetic, confussing and frustrating as all get out in a nut shell, but when one lays down and closes one's eyes, it is with a smile, heart full of love, and tears of joy...................my kids are HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not all bad, now mama needs to work for her dream if she can ever remember what that was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tootles everyone :kisses
Simply,
Jamie
Good Grief!!! And I thought my life was hectic as all hell. Hang in there and know that all the hard work will pay off in the end.
