Whirlwind Weekend

I wish I were doing something fun. I have spent the better part of my day chasing after the crazy boys in my house trying to light some motivation under their bums. It isn't working too well for me. I'm being just as lazy.

I haven't had a lazy Saturday in a very long time.

Baseball is almost officially over. I still have a few things here and there that need to be buttoned up before we roll on into Fall Ball. The first one in many many years. The summer is going by way too fast. Soon the 4th will be here and then after that school will be back in session. When that happens I am sure to probably lose my mind at some point. From the last post, I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to get it all done.

I took the boys to see Toy Story 3 the other day. It was an adorable movie worth watching in theaters. Aidan held it together for the most part until our trip to Target. I was "that" mom. The one that we all look at horrified because her kid is absolutely out of control. He screamed...he kicked...he melted into a puddle in the parking lot. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. DCF would love me for saying this but I seriously wanted to strangle the kid. I couldn't believe it was happening to me. My kid was the biggest, nastiest kid that I had ever seen.

I seriously feel sorry for his future teachers. I have said it before but I seriously mean it. I'm hoping it is all just a phase. I'm over it so I hope he gets over it soon!

One more day off until work starts up again. It's been a lazy one. A deserved lazy one.

School Days Are a Comin'

It's almost that time. Time to grab my notebook and pencil and head back to school. I'm excited. I'm ready. I'm terrified. Not the whole going back after almost ten years since my first bought of college more the how in the wide world of sports am I going to make this all work??

I have a kid going into middle school, one in elementary, one that should be starting preschool and a butt load of sports programs and their school stuff that has to be fitted in somewhere. Plus my work and the extracurricular that I take on for myself. I'm either going to rock this out or fall flat on my face. I'm hoping number uno works out for me.

This next year will for sure test the better of me. Balancing everything and making it work. It has to work. I'm so beyond over the crappy restaurant position that I'm in now. Granted, the money is excellent but I need something more. For myself. For my family. I wouldn't say that I'm ashamed to say that I'm a server because that's not really it. Like I said, the money is good,the money is quick but I want to be able to prove to my children that an education can get you a lot more in life than just taking the hum drum jobs to pay the bills. I took a lot of time of from furthering my education to have my children. I love them all to pieces and would never trade them for the world but in hind sight I have realized now that timing is key. All of my life my father stressed education. I am the same way with my kids. To me, college isn't an option. They have so much potential already to do great things. I have to show them that anything is possible at any age. That just because I got a little side tracked doesn't mean that you can't do it all whenever you want.

I'm rambling and at this point probably not making much sense. So, I'll end it there. School is coming. July 6th. Ready or not. It is. And I'm ready!
