Overwhelmed!

Let's just say the last two weeks have been more than overwhelming to me...let me know if you get tired along the way...

Last week was our "homecoming"...we call it Pirate Fest because the town actually does a different homecoming in March. During Pirate Fest, I have to coordinate a cheer camp for the little kids. Last year we had maybe 30 girls...this year doubled!!!! I am so thankful for a Junior High Sponsor who helped out TREMENDOUSLY!!!! Peyton was sick with strep throat, the flu and breathing treatments last week. The babysitter was out sick one day and out for family business 3 other days. So between having to plan stuff for the sub and then run up to the school for cheer camp or take care of bball practice while hubby stayed home with the kids...it was BUSY to say the least!

So this week rolled around and I thought...okay...time to get back into the routine again...W-R-O-N-G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes...COMPLETELY WRONG! Hubby came down with what we think is the flu! Went home early Monday and left ME to coach the girls Tuesday night. Now I am totally cool with coaching...LOVE it...most days...but this was one of the biggest games of the year!!!! Needless to say we lost...ran out of time. The girls made a good come back in the end...we just ran out of time. Casey, you would be proud...heel-stomping, jumping up and down, enthusiastic coaching...learned from the best :) At school the next day, lots of comments from the students...they didn't know I had that side in me...I do believe one kid called me a beast! He also told hubby that I made him do something he had never done before at a girls' game...stand up and cheer. So, I may get another chance to stomp those "6-inch" heels this weekend. Hubby is still not up to par. He will be there...he just can't do much but sit. Oh, principal said he was impressed I could hop from the coach's box to the scorer's table in 3 hops in those heels...hehe! But like I said...proud of the girls in the end...just ran out of time. They gave the crowd a show in the 4th and the other team a run for their money!

Kiddos are doing well. Still stuffy and coughing but I think until it warms up they will be like that everyday. My little princess is a sassy-pants, diva-acting, stubborn, hard-headed, make you laugh bully...did you know that all those can be in one person??? She is a MESS! My little man is recovering well from last week. SO ready to see snow...I hope mother nature does not disappoint.

Life is good. Lots of things we are unsure about for the future but I have to make myself trust Him everyday...sometimes every minute of every day! Stay safe and warm!

I'm back!

So it has been once again F-O-R-E-V-E-R since I have been on here. Well...today I am home with the kids so I have the time. We had a great Christmas break...just not long enough. Visited with lots of family and ate tons of great food! My babies are another year older, 3 and 1, and growing way to fast for my liking. P is 3 going on 15...it could be because he is around high school kids a lot! He is too smart for his own good. A is Ms. Sassy Pants! Total diva...as her Audie says if a 1-year-old can be...but HATES bows!!! Hates them in her hair, hates them on her shoes, etc! Hubby and I are doing well...as soon as he gets over his bronchitis :) We have our house on the market with prospects moving up to the surface. Totally seeking God's will in this situation!!! Looking forward to spring break and summer...we both wish we could be stay-at-home-parents right now with our kiddos being the ages they are. But that not how life goes.

BTW...I am home with a sick child so please keep him/us in your prayers.
