Nice but busy weekend

It was really such a nice weekend. The wedding was more fun then I had had in a long time. Your DJ really makes your wedding and I will tell you this lady was so funny. I had never laughed so hard.

Sunday I got to go out to breakfast with my mom. What a nice time, we rarely get time just the two of us and I really enjoyed the time. I only wish it could have been longer.

I then went to Canobie Lake Park for my Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day and kids had a great time. I met up with Rachael and her family their. It was nice although it is interesting as all the kids get older. They want to go off with their friends and parents aren't quite as needed. It is interesting trying to find your role in their lives as they begin to grow up and exert their independence. I realize how much older they are all getting and what great kids they really are becoming.

The day really wore them all out Brady fell asleep in the car and woke up at 8:30am the next morning, Austin fell asleep on the couch at about quarter of 7 and woke up for school the next morning. Guess they all had as busy of a weekend as I did.

Okay well day is in full swing so I will talk to you all later.

So irratated!!

Go to drop Colby off at baseball practice and I notice their are no kids from his team their. So we ask nope no more practices just games. Great was his idiotic coach going to e-mail us this? This was after racing to get him from band practice, rush home do homework and dinner and back out the door only to find out it was for nothing.

On a positive note. Colby has had two games so far and they have won both. Go Pizza Mia!!

Austin will have his first game this Saturday and sadly will miss it because I have a wedding to go to and he will be with Nana and Papa.

Sunday is Mother's Day and I am going to breakfast with mom and then picking up the boys and we are going to Canobie Lake Park for the day. We will be meeting up with Rachael and her family their.

We have Brady's birthday party next Saturday. Wow where did the time go!! I have yet to plan anything out. Next thing on the agenda to do.

Friday night is my brother's rehearsal dinner.

Then the following Saturday is my brother's wedding wow that came up amazingly fast. I can't wait because my sister Kim will be coming up with my brother in law and little nephew. I really miss them so can't wait.

So needless to say may not be around much in the next few weeks. Will try and stay in touch though.

Talk to you all later.

Well been a way for a while again

I think I haven't written for a bit because things have been sad in my circle of closest friends.

My friend Lesley found out she had breast cancer. So far things are going well but we will see how she does once chemo and radiation begin.

Another close friend is having difficulties with teenagers. Rachael is having difficulties with paying for schooling and I am just heartbroken over this possibility.

Then Colby and Austin are going back and forth about not doing what they are suppose to in school. Their schedules are getting more hectic by the second. I have a toddler that is out of control.

Colby has band, baseball practice and 2 games a week.
Austin has baseball practice and a game each week. Jeff is also the coach for his team.
Then don't forget homework and school everyday. Plus we have been taking Colby to the ear specialist so I have our meeting with them next week to see how this goes.

Brady oh where do I start with this one. Colors on my new $1,000 furniture, slices my new window screens with scissors, starts the microwave with random things that he found to put in it, broke my cell phone, ripped down my blinds, ran away and almost had to call 911 because I couldn't find him, managed to get a children's tylenol bottle open and luckily decided to fill it with water rather than drink it. These are just the things that I can think of for the moment I am pretty sure there may be about a thousand other interesting things he has managed to do. Now mind you this is not me not watching him this is me trying to do dishes, wash laundry or cook dinner. So my housework is having to now wait until late in the evening after he goes to bed or while he is napping. If not what I do manage to accomplish pales in comparison to what he has managed to destroy in those few moments. This child is certainly an entity all to his own.

Stephanie had a hysterectomy and had 25 staples. So I had Rachel and Logan for 2 weeks sometimes overnight, or I would bring them home around 7-7:30pm, So needless to say this was interesting. I suddenly became a family of 7 overnight. Wow not ready for that.

My friend Rachael and Tracy have both had deaths in their families this year.

Tracy's brother was in a life threatening accident. He broke his pelvis, arm and knee. This is so crazy.

I feel that everyones life is spiraling out of control and I am not sure how to stop it all from happening. Usually one of us will have an issue and we get through it relatively okay. This year though I don't know everyone is having major things happen and I am at a loss as to how to fix, help or make things better. Not to mention I am having a mommy meltdown and need a break from my own kids. I haven't been away from them since last October for my friend Tracy's wedding.


In the next month I have 2 weddings and 2 birthday parties.

Okay I am going to go I am making myself crazy thinking of all this stuff.
