Sharknados Season Fall 2017



This soccer season FLEW by and sadly today was Ali's last game! We ALMOST missed it! For whatever reason, I had it in my calendar for starting at 2 and my dad got to her game AT NOON and called to see where we were.
Thank God he called!!! When Jeff got her there she said coach said, "Warm up... you're going in now!" Unfortunately I wasn't there because I was driving Seany to his game...
Ali LOVES soccer and scored a nice goal today. I feel like she had lots of shots this year but they often went just wide- or the goalie would just get there in the knick of time... Jeff got some good pictures though so I could see a bit and imagine! She had her share of goals but not like the old days where she'd have them every game. The game has gotten tougher for sure!

 Al plays hard and she plays to win. She was upset on Friday when she had to miss practice because... well... there's two of us and Joe had a meet and Jeff had to help get the boats out. It's fun to see the little girl who was "nervous" to go to practice just a few years ago be upset because she couldn't get there.
 It's going to be interesting to see what next year brings with Al and the game. She's talked about going out for her school team. I do hope that her coaches will be back in again next year. Most of her team will be heading off to high school so I guess we'll have to wait and see. I am going to miss seeing these girls play!
I know we said spring soccer was out because too many dance weekends but... winter is still on the table. I don't mind one bit. Love watching my little shark play~ and fun to see my delicate dancer play tough. Great season, Al! So proud of you!!

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...
