Brown is just not her color...


I remember when Joe first got his bat. He was so excited about it he took a nap with it! Ali Jane has been holding her own with those boys and so today I let her get her very own bat. She was thrilled and couldn't wait to try it out with dad! She must have hit that ball and ran the bases a hundred times and wasn't very happy when it got too dark to play! Of course her brothers came out too, which meant she also got some throwing and catching practice. (And yes! The girl can catch too!)
When we got her bat, Ali Jane spied a pink baseball glove and she told me that she needed a pink glove because brown was 'not her color'. Ali Jane reminds me a lot of myself growing up... I loved my jazz, tap and ballet classes but when it came to choosing between continuing to compete in dance or travel with the softball girls... I chose the bat! And I wonder what path Al will choose- there just aren't enough hours in the day for a princess who likes to climb trees...
And a side note- Ali Jane got out her piggy bank and she's ready to part with her hard earned cash. We counted her coins and she placed just the right amount she needed in her purse... tomorrow after church she'll be making her biggest purchase yet- a pink baseball glove! (Because brown is just not her color...)

So tired...

Image
It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
