It's Friday

Another week has passed. Wed, was as always a busy day for us. Lainey went to school, Hailee went to school. Then after school we went to the Wallace’s to play. They have a new dog and Garrett absolutely loved it. They played together for a long time until he pulled her hair then she was done with him. LOL Then we went to cheerleading, where Lainey once again got to cheer with the big girls. She loves it. I can’t wait until she is old enough to really do cheerleading. Thursday, Hailee went to school, and then we came home and played outside. We came home, I fixed dinner, and then I went out to MNO with the MOMS club for wine tasting. It was nice to get out. And I am really trying to reconnect with MOMS Club. Today the kids were out of school, so we went to gymnastics this morning. Then we went to play at the park. Hailee has a rough time at the park, first I was trying to swing her I pushed her and she fell out of the swing. She wasn’t holding on. Then as she was yelling at me for that a bee stung her. She was beside herself and was yelling at me. I tried to calm her. I had a first aid kit in my car that had after bite in it, so we were headed to the car when she said I want to go home, so I gathered everyone and everything up and we headed to the car. The whole time Hailee was screaming and I couldn’t get her to calm down. We got to the car, I put the after bite on it and she was still crying She said “ I am never coming back to this park” I explained to her that the park wasn’t the problem, bees live everywhere, so then she said “ I am never going outside again”. So I said fine but it would be a boring life inside all the time. We came home, and she did stay inside for a long time, but then she decided she was going outside, so she went outside, and all was well again. We have 2 birthday parties tomorrow and one on Sunday and Michael is leaving Sunday until Thursday. So we will be without him this week. Luckily he will be home in time for the fundraiser on Thursday. Man I hope we have a good turn out. I am getting worried, what if it is a flop. I will fell awful that the lady has donated the facility to me and that I have wasted all this time and effort. So say a prayer for me that it is a success. I have given flyers to everyone I can think of, I have posted it everywhere I can find, emailed to everyone I can think of. So I pray that it will be good. It is not to late if you want to donate. Please do so. Iof you are in the area, please sing up to walk with our team or as an individual this can make a big difference.

I continue on my journey through life each passing day with my family and without my grandma. I wish my family was closer it is so hard to live so far and not be able to stop at my moms or my dads. I love this area and would be content to live the rest of my life here, but I still wish that we were home. I see people who live close to their family and they get to spend time with them, they get to see their grandchildren grow and it is hard not to wish I had that. Not to wish I could call my family and say hey can you watch the kids while I run an errand, or hey come over for dinner we would love to have you. The holidays are again approaching and we will be here for thanksgiving again without our family. We will of course go home for Christmas and I can’t wait. I wish that I could see my dad and step-mom this year too. I hope maybe we can work it out where we can see them too. My step-mom has been so great to us; I don’t know what I would do with out her. And I miss her and my dad so much. I haven’t seen her since Garrett was born, and I haven’t seen may dad in like 2 years. How can it be that we are so busy that we can’t make a little time to spend with them? But we are, and that wont change.

The kids are well, finally all over their coughs although Lainey has had an upset stomach today and I am hoping she feels better tomorrow. Garrett still has a rash, and I am wondering now if it was from the MMR vaccine that contains eggs. But we are trying to control it. His reflux doesn’t seem to be any better and I continue to pray that it gets better. I can’t stand the thought of them scoping him. I just don’t know that I can watch them do that to him. Anyway, thanks for checking on us, till next time remember to hug and kiss your family and tell them you love them, today is gone and tomorrow may never come………………
