Should have been born blond

I must have too much on my plate as usual because I had such a blond moment this weekend. Colby's baseball coach must think we are on drugs. Colby was not feeling well on Friday night and woke up on Saturday still pretty sick. So as I got Austin ready for his baseball game. I made Colby call his coach and tell him he was sick and wouldn't be at his game that was at 11:30am. Well I just looked at the schedule and Colby's game wasn't yesterday it was today. Oh my heavens I am losing it.

Well over all it was a nice weekend not really too much going on. My sister and the kids fly in next weekend and as usual we will have 2 weeks of straight chaos.

Can not believe that tomorrow is June 1st and the kids only have 3 weeks left of school. I can not WAIT!!! This school year has been heck and I am soooo looking forward to a break. This mom is on overload and we all need to chill and have some good times. Our Florida trip is 5 weeks and 2 days away. I can't believe how fast it is approaching it is going to be here and gone before we even realize it.

Okay that is it for now.

This has certainly been an interesting month.

Their are times that occur in my life that I wish I could relive over and over, just so I never forget them. Others I wish would go silently away so I didn't have to ever remember for the rest of my life. This month has had many of both.

SOME OF THE BEST MOMENTS OF MAY 09'

1. My little guy turned 3. We had amazing weather family and friends that came to celebrate this amazing day. He had a Disney Cars cake that his mommy made for him w/love.
2. Rachael graduated w/honors from Hesser w/a degree in Graphic Design.
3. Having some amazing times w/our new puppy dog Jake.
4. Watching my boys playing baseball.
5. Watching Colby excel at school this year. With grades as well as meeting some new amazing friends.
6. Tiffany's graduation from Dental school.
   

SOME OF THE WORST MOMENTS OF MAY 09'

1. Having had Jen lose her brother. I feel so sad for her and her family. The pain I just wish I could make go away.
2. The stress of money has been insane.
3. Having child #2 beginning to hit puberty. It is truly a test of endurance on my part and trying to maintain being a good mom. Both with which I am constantly in battle with.
4. The loss of my brothers beloved dog Sebastian.
   

Brady in many ways manages to keep a smile on my face in the face of uncertainty. Tonight trying not to be cranky decided to cook a really good dinner for the family. I made picante chicken w/red bell peppers, honey roasted red potatoes and steamed veggies.

Brady took one look at his plate and said he was not eating. My response was okay but if you don't eat you won't get the swedish fish he desperately wanted for dessert. So he got up from the table and went into his room comes out with his rolling back pack and states that he is packing his bag and running away. He packs his jacket, blankie and we say what else are you taking he tries to grab the swedish fish bag off the counter. I just burst into laughter. We said where are you going to sleep he says I don't know. The dog is biting at his bag the whole time as he is heading for the door, trying to drag it back. I am just quietly thinking this child is a whole other entity all to his own. My other two never dreamed of the things Brady already has at 3. We say to Brady we will miss you horribly if you leave. He eventually agrees not to leave and we make a compromise on dinner. He ate half his plate and managed to get the fish that caused the uproar in the first place.

Well as this month quickly is coming to a close I am anxious to see what June will hold for us. I am praying for incredible weather and lots of fun times outside, enjoying it all with my family. With a lot more smiles and a lot less crying and screaming. Only time will tell.

Never forget to say I love you.

This month has so far been insane. We made it through Brian's wedding and I am so thankful it is over and we can put it behind us.

The boys baseball is in full swing. Sadly Austin is 0-1 and Colby's team is 0-2. However, on the bright side Colby had an amazing hit Saturday and I am thrilled to have seen it.

This is the overview of my upcoming week.

• Monday I have to pick up Austin at 5pm from school, Colby has a game at 6pm.

• Tuesday Colby has to be picked up from School

• Wednesday Colby has to be picked up from School, Austin has practice, Colby has a game.

• Thursday Austin has to be driven to school, Colby has to be picked up after school and Colby has a game.

• Friday get everything ready for Saturday and Sunday. Tiffany graduates from dental school.

• Saturday Austin & Colby have games, baseball pictures, Colby has a birthday party at his friend Michaels house and Bradys party here. Jake gets picked up and going to Gina's.
  

• Sunday Rachael's graduation and party. Pick up Jake from Gina's.

I seriously wrote this down so I don't forget anybody or anything this week. My brain is a jumble.



This is also a sad week indeed my poor friend Jen just lost her brother and I am very saddened by this horrible news. I also found out my brother has to put his beloved dog Sebastian down today. It is a week of many highs and the reality that it can all be gone in an instant. Enjoy every moment you have because you never know if it can be your last, never go to bed mad, don't ever say something you can't take back and NEVER forget to say I love you.

I am going to end with this and it makes me stop to realize that no matter how busy I am I never want to forget to say I LOVE YOU!!.
