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.
