my typical life!

Thinking about today is a little daunting! Daniell left this morning for a business trip - thank goodness it's only for 2 days - but it is of course in the middle the three days that I told him (months ago) PLEASE don't plan anything on Feb. 18-20! Our church is in the middle of the annual C3 conference! So needless to say - I am working like crazy!! So today I am going to leave work at 2, run home and get some work done at home. Get Joshua at 3 from school - get his homework finished, gather Alex baseball stuff for practice. Pick up Alex and Madyson from school at 3:45.... Rush Alex to the Duncan's (so he can get to practice), then the other two over to the Klinkos. Then back to work until probably 9ish! Then pick all three up from the Klinkos after work, get them home and all in bed, so we can wake up and do it all over again tomorrow~!~! I am so grateful for my great friends helping me out!! You guys are the best!~!~

well.....

Okay... there has been alot going on.... so much so that I have not had time to blog!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I felt the effects of the economy. My employer cut my job from full-time to part-time! Hopefully with my side business we will not feel it so bad!!! I am hoping to step that up and really get it going!! It also did not seem so bad because 2 days after I got news that, a gentleman that worked with me passed away. He was only 33 years old. He left behind a wife and two boys, ages 10 months and 4 years old. This was unbelievably sad.... also made me think what in the world would I do if I ever lost Daniell.... I cant even imagine.... after the funeral I called him and asked him to never leave me here on this earth without him!!!! So my job cut did not seem so bad in the grand scheme of things... at least I have my family and they are all healthy!!!

The boys have started baseball practice and Daniell's travel schedule is CRAZY!!!!

Alex is having a tough time on school.... I think it is just something that is hard for him and he is going to have to really work hard... That kinda sucks because it is only going to get harder from here!! He needs to calm down and not get so anxious about things~~ like the STUPID taks test ~~~~ i wish there was not so much pressure on the kids over this ONE test!!! but that is the way it is right now, so we will prevail!

So, today has been typical... Daniell left this morning for a business trip and as usual lots of homework and lots of attitude...lol
All I have done is help with homework and watch the next door neighbors little boy. Who by the way is two, and LOVES his mommy!! (aka cries for her when she is gone) He is really sweet and is great as long as my kids keep him busy so he does not think about her not being here!!
Alex had his baseball try-out this Sunday for his select team. This whole 'select' thing is a little nerve-racking for a mom!! They have to tryout every year! And then wait, for what seems like forever, for the coach to post the new roster. He did make it! :) So one more year of tournament play with the Flower Mound Hunters. It really does become like a second family we spend so much time together during the season. Alex will start practices next week, probably 3 or 4 times a week until tournaments start.
Well off to clean up the house a little and crawl in bed... I have to wake the kids up at 5:15 in the morning and take them to Kim's house. She is taking them to school for me! She is a life saver for me!
Well, last week we survived the two 'ice days' ~ the kiddos were out of school ~ It was cold but, not too bad! Baseball is about to start full force, so we are enjoying any time we have just relaxing. We had a great time last night with some great friends, watching the Super Bowl. It is always nice to get together ~ The kids had a great time too ~ I think there was 11 children ranging from 3 years old to 14.... I am thankful yesterday was so nice so they could play outside! Daniell is on the road again this week ~ I think he is out of town Monday and Tuesday, in town but has meetings Wednesday and Thursday... So we will not see him until Friday!! We will handle it, we always do (with the help from my sister and friends)!!
