Friiiiiday!!!!

Unbelievable! The week has simply flown by with a couple of attempts to blog but never made it to the end....
Life becomes crazy, fast, and even when you think you can try to get it to just slow down just enough to sit back and take a deep breath something interrupts it and off we go again!!!
There is not one day where we all just have a family evening all together..............don't get me wrong I am glad my children are very active, I can't even imagine them just being home everyday of the week with nothing else to do besides homework. Another positive point is the weeks do fly by fast...
Okay, so good news for the week, my Grandma's blood test results showed that she lacked vitamin B12. Infact it was so low they are giving her shots of it to bring it up. This vitamin effects the brain which would help us understand her memory loss and confusion. They're giving her shots of this vitamin for a month and then will test her again. Meanwhile we are going to see if it makes a difference with her mentally.........praying, crossing fingers, throwing it out to the universe, and doing anything else that would send positive vibes my Grandmas way that this helps her enough to make life less confusing and a bit more comfortable for her.
The craziness of the week, BOYS- not concerned about homework, not concerned about their clothes, not concerned about getting their stuff done. Mom- fuming about not having shirts picked out for school picture day after telling them the day before about choosing them ahead of time, exhausted of repeating myself about the morning schedule to make it out the door for school.
The shocker of the week, Mom Jr. - what happened to that sweet girl who had manners, was polite, quiet, all the other parents loved and would tell me how great she was??? Hmmm, I think she became swarmed by the obnoxious, loud, shocking behavior that Mom Jr. has now been sharing with everyone much to the surprise of her Dad and me.
It's unbelievable how this girl who dances 10 hours a week besides having 2 and 1/2 hours of soccer practice a week on top of school, which I must say is keeping her grades up could act the way she has.
Maybe she's been given too much and is taking advantage of all that we do for her, especially me. My new rule- keep it up, restrictions will be put in place..........

Somewhere in between all of the above I remind myself to breathe!!! Stop, close your eyes, breathe in deeply, and slowly release it.....................

Life continues on, mornings are becoming breezy and cool, we take it day by day, step by step, some steps are harder than others but we manage....

We take the tests our children throw our way and hopefully we pass them strongly so that they know not to test us again...................

Such a busy time in our lives, savor the quiet times, relax when possible, find time to better our health by exercising, oh, and don't forget to.................................laugh!!!!!!



Just a Mom trying to slow the pace down just a little.........................
