Such a long time...

I'm a bad blogger. Since that last post, so much has happened. Coming soon are pics from our Girls' Night Out at Pete's Piano Bar. That was fun. Kids started school (8th & 3rd grades), and Madison is having fun with soccer. Christian made the "A" team in football. Now he's competing for the starting position with one other boy. Kyle will be 3 on Sunday... party is on Saturday. I'm sad that there will probably not be very many friends there for him because people seem to be busy. He's only 3, so I'm sure he won't notice.

I'm exhausted today, but decided to confess to being a crummy blogger. I will try to do better!

I think I'm going to have to go back to work, despite my best efforts not to! We're just struggling financially all of the time and I'm getting kind of tired of that! Wish someone would just deliver some money to my front doorstep so that I didn't have to think about it for a while. : )

Well, signing off due to 5pm pickup from Middle School, 6pm dropoff at soccer practice, 6:30pm dropoff at boxing, 7:45 pickup from boxing, dinner, baths, homework, laundry, and my front room is a mess!.... Maybe I'll be in bed sometime before noon tomorrow!

BLAH!

I'm feeling a little blue today. Don't really know why - no particular reason. Maybe I should just stay home and be a hermit this week...and just get over it. Terry is out rescuing his brother (don't even ask), and Kyle is being a terror. Christian & his friend, Turner, think that I'm some sort of taxi service. Maddy is off playing with a neighborhood friend, and I just want to curl up in bed and sleep. CALGON!!!

Just Me and the Boys!

Terry and Maddy have run off to the deer lease for the weekend. Christian, Kyle and I stayed home because Christian has a state baseball tournament this weekend in Mansfield. We will go watch a little baseball in the scorching heat tomorrow and Sunday while praying that Terry keeps Maddy hydrated and lathered up with sunscreen! Cross your fingers & hope we win!

GO CHRISTIAN!!

Lisa took this pic last weekend!

I love it so I stole it off her blog.

Portraits of the 3 Brats... not the brightest idea ever!

Here's the way my life has gone the past 3 days...

• Tried to have pictures of all 3 kids done at the portrait studio on Tuesday.
• Kyle was pumped to have his pic's made.
• We got there and Kyle froze... made a total fool out of us.
• He screamed and kicked and cried and tried to crawl into my shirt while ripping it open.
• We left.
• Tried again on Wednesday & took Gram with us this time.
• Still cried and threw a fit, but we got some pic's. He is NOT SMILING in any of them.You can actually see tears in one of the pictures.
• While we were picking out our package, the electricity went out due to the storm that rolled in.
• They couldn't print our pictures because of the electricity problem.
• I went back on Thursday morning to pick them up and they were still having printer problems. Hey, I ended up getting 6 free sheets for the inconvenience, so I'm not griping too much.
• Thursday was also my 15th anniversary. Happy Anniversary to me! (and Terry, too)
• Didn't have to cook dinner and got some smelly stuff. That was nice.
• Now we have cute pic's and I'm having a hard time finding frames that I can actually afford! : )
