The Grouch
Thursday, February 28th, 2008
I feel like crud. Again. ugh. I am getting sick of feeling sick. Seriously considering going to see the doctor. This is crazy. I have suffered for weeks upon weeks. I start to feel better then BAM sick … again. ugh. Ethan has the same cough and yuckiness. Poor kid. Becca has thankfully diverted this one so far.
I feel grouchy and disorganized. I hate that. Then because I am being grouchy and disorganized I feel worse. grr. This ugly cycle of sick to healthy to right back to sick better STOP.
Yesterday I posted a couple pictures of care packages I have received the past week. My sweet pal Sheila sent the books and Knit-a-pattern-a-day Calendar, totally making my day. Then Awesome Mom sent a Sock Dog, fire truck and YARN!!! The yarn is an alpaca blend that is incredibly soft. Thank you!!!
After pressing redial for HALF an HOUR I finally scored a spot for Becca in Kiddie Kickers. My girl is going to take SOCCER. I always wanted to play soccer, but never did. I was enrolled in soft ball instead (which I actually loved once I was not the worse player on the team, in fact I even stopped a soft ball with my eye, yeah so not athlete of the year!) She is super excited (yet it doesn’t start till the end of April). It isn’t a league or anything just an intro to the sport and fun times. I spoke with another mom today and she tried for an hour, then the class she was wanting for her son was FULL. I totally scored!
J is taking off for the weekend for a chemistry conference, then has work stuff Monday and Tuesday evening. I am not too concerned about being on my own with the kids yet I wonder how moms do it all the time. J will be traveling for work and attending conferences more. I remember the first conference he went on when we were dating. I cried and cried not sure how I was going to live without him near me. Now a days there is so much to take care of with the kids, before I know it he will have returned.
I am exhausted and ready for bed. I cooked up some refried bean enchiladas, special for J. I also baked muffins yesterday and cookies today. We have an unspoken tradition of baking for Daddy when he leaves on a trip. I would pack them in his carry on when he would fly off to interviews. Funny thing is, one time in the airport the drug dog hounded J, till they searched his bag … to find homemade cookies! hehe Ooops!

Time.
nough to give away.
Sadly the visit with Grandma M and Auntie K has come to an end.
Becca really enjoyed sharing her world with her Grandma and Auntie K. They read a ton of books, played hours and hours and already Becca misses them. Ethan was shy most of their visit, however he started to come around last night.
