League Champions!!!


I never thought I would ever say, "Go Yankees" but I did and I was so happy when they won again, and again and again! Joe had a great season with his baseball team and they only lost one game the entire regular season! Today was their team party/ awards day. Since it happened right during Sean's nap time (his schedule is so messed up in the summer), we were able to drop him at my parents' and just the 5 of us went to the party. It was at a beach on my parents' lake that I have driven by a lot (on the boat) but never actually been to before. The kids loved it, mainly for the slide (I don't think Ali Jane did anything BUT go down the slide again and again and again...)
After an hour or so of playing, the boys came in for a moment to grab some grub. They ate and in no time were back out on the lake having fun. It was a beautiful day, just perfect to spend in the lake. I didn't think they'd be able to get the team OUT of the lake, but when it was time to get their trophies, they came running (which really was no surprise)!
I couldn't believe all of the nice things the boys got! Of course they got their beloved trophy with their name on it but they also got a framed award (named after a famous Yankee and a reason why they earned that particular award), a neat bookmark/ ticket stub with their name on it and a creative memory book (that was also a thank you to the coach) with pictures and a page for each player where they wrote about their favorite part of the season (Joe of course wrote about his first double of the season when he got the game ball). They got other things too (gum, water bottle... etc~ felt a bit like Christmas for them I imagine)
The coach mentioned how much the boys grew this season and I'd have to agree with him. I am still really impressed with how much Joe improved, especially his bat! I'm really looking forward to next season but this isn't the last event where the Yankees will be together. In a few weeks they get to go to a Tiger Game together where they will be the 'featured' Little League team! I can hardly wait... just need to find someone to watch the Littles (somehow I don't think it will be as enjoyable with them in tow...)

So tired...

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...
