Jump Rope for Heart

So Friday's are always my favorite day of the week, even though they are one of the busiest.
We have had so much going on that I feel like I am running backwards and even though today was no exception it was a great day.
To end Catholic Schools Week the school does Jump Rope for Heart. It is one of my favorite days of the year. The school is raising money for the American Heart Association which is a great charity in my opinion. John Michael has gone with me every year, but this year was the first time he was a part of it. Both boys had a blast! I am so proud of them both.
John Michael had basketball practice tonight. He did better and is becoming a much better shooter, I just wish that he would pay more attention. His coach has some serious patience that I just cannot even begin to match. Thanks so much for everything Coach!

Jump Rope For Heart

Today was definitely a day that I could have stayed in bed all day! It was cold and wet. At least we were able to sleep in a little since school did not start till 10. I was also VERY thankful that all the ice had disappeared. Not too excited that snow was in the 7 day twice, but we shall see what happens.

Brandon hit his 40 hours yesterday so he was home with us today! We all got to go and watch Danny's Jump Rope for Heart at the school. It was a lot of fun, and I took a lot of pictures. I am posting a few now, but watch my facebook page for many more to come! Hopefully by the end of the weekend. It was great to see all of the students jumping for the American Heart Association and I cannot wait until next year. I did find out that we are taking donation through Tuesday so if you would like to make one let me know and I will send you an e-mail with the link for Danny's site.

Catholic Schools week definitely ended on a bright note despite the rainy day! I was so thankful that as parents we are allowed to be there. Next year it will be both boys jumping, so double the fun!

EARLY game in the morning so I am off to bed...still not before 9 though! Before I go to bed I will be praying for all of my family and friends as usual. I also am saying a special prayer for all students, parents, teachers, faculty, and supporters of Catholic Schools.

No Ice Ice Baby

So I knew that there was a slight possibility of a few flurries, but seriously not this. I picked up John Michael, and walking into the school there were a few flurries. When I walked out of the school it was crazy snowing, by the time I got him in the van and we got on the road I could barely see because of the snow and now ice falling. In the few minutes I was in the school I had six missed calls, one from Danny's school, they were closing early and the rest from Brandon letting me know he was going to get Danny. He ended up taking Danny to work with him which meant Danny finished his homework, and well, John Michael and I came home and played.

The picture is the ice on the deck and I wrote Not Again, but the dog walked through it so it is hard to tell. Oh well, maybe I shuld have waited to let him out until I took the picture. You get the idea though!

I did get some laundry done but there was too much going on today for much more. Plus my sinuses have me slightly under the weather. It couldn't have anything to do with the rapidly changing weather could it? Oh well, tomorrow is a new day with a lot going on, but it will be wonderful.





I am glad that it is warming up (well not really but going over freezing anyway). Danny's school is delayed 2 hours, but Jump Rope for Heart is on! Please help him out and give a donation, no matter how big or small it makes a huge difference for someone! Check out my FaceBook Page for a link... Monica Brandon Thach in Birmingham, AL....that is me! Thank you in advance it means a lot to Danny!





Well, it is not before 9, but I am still not giving up! Before I go to bed I am praying for all of my friends and family. I am saying a special prayer for a military family who is in my heart. They are together this weekend before he leaves and I hope that they have an amazing weekend. Military families are all amazing and I always pray for them. They are the heroes of this country!
