Whooosh!!!

Is all I can say about the time between my last post to this one. Life has been unbelievably busy...

With school, Grandparents Day, Jr.'s birthday, Daddy's birthday, 4 soccer practices a week, back and forth to dance three days a week, 3 soccer games on the weekend, soccer pictures............ugh, just typing it all out is exhausting not to mention just the usual- taking care of squiggly who now is a full time crawler on the brink of walking.

You know Moms shes at the stage of pulling herself up and walking along anything she can hang on. Yes, I know it's only a matter of time when she decides to let go and take those first steps all on her own. I just hope she does it when she's with her Mom. I don't want to not tell her if she does it with me first because as a Mom I'd like to know....on the other hand............I know she'll be sad.................hmmmm, we'll see.

J is just as feisty as ever, that boy, I'm preparing school lunches for the other 3 as they're getting ready for school. J walks in the kitchen wearing rain boots shorts, tank top, and 2 hats. "Mama, it gonna rain?" "no, infact it's going to be very hot today" "Oh, I gonna go camping den Mama" "Open back door fo me pleeessse" "okay". The sprinklers are on in the back and one of our big floating toys for the pool was laying across the rail of the bridge leading from the cement to the grass.

J went out there and was pretending that was his house as he was camping (see my kids have never been camping so what they see on TV about it is what they know). I continued making lunches as the other 3 were now downstairs putting on shoes, fixing their hair, getting their backpacks together.

J comes back in the house "I back Mama" "Did you have fun?" "Um, sure Mama, I got a little wet" "Oh, well go take off your rain boots and put on your flip flops so we can leave" "aaaaahhhhh, I want to wear my boots, I gonna go back out".

J has learned quite well from his brothers how to pout, he hunches over as he walks away practically falling to his knees. By this time I'm too busy to let it bother me as I'm spraying sun block on the others and fixing Mom Jr.'s hair to the style she has requested for the day.

We get in the car, make it to school, watch their morning opening, and go about our day...



Today was actually the first day I was able to come straight home and stay here until I had to go out and get the kids. My mind has been on overload lately with all the unfinished business around here. So now I was on fire!!!

It took me 3 hours to just clean the downstairs and even then I didn't completely clean the bathroom. I took a break to serve lunch to J and me and then I got right back up to start preparing dinner.

Right when I finished it was time to head out to pick up the kids, come home, get Mom Jr. ready for dance, Daddy came home, and Mom Jr. and I are out............

Never ending, the sun rises and I'm already downstairs preparing lunch, the sun sets and I'm out picking someone up...........

This is when I myself am truly lost................no time to worry about that anyway I'm too busy with everything else. Good thing about being busy I don't feel the loss..........until I take the time to think about all that I've done and it's for her, for him, for him, for him, and for him..........um, and then I notice what's for me???

Someday I'll arrive, someday I will be important, someday they will stop, appreciate, and really understand all that I do for them......

Until then.................



Just a Mom on the go.......................................completely for them.
