Using Your Head

John Michael's baseball game was top priority this morning.  We had to be there by 8:30.  There is a lot on the to do list for today.  John Michael and I headed out with a quick stop by McDonald's, his favorite place.  Danny and Brandon headed to Clay to get Uncle Patrick and then they came to the game.
I will say that the 8:30 game time means better parking. Of course the absence of bathrooms at Brookwood Forrest Elementary is still a pain and the absence of Refs leaves me with the question of what does BUSA Soccer do with all that money? 
John Michael's tem played another Mountain Brooke team but this time we won.  They had a great time and John Michael blocked a ball with his head while he was playing goalie.  We had to laugh because it was an accident, but as he told the story throughout the day, it got better and better. 

After the game the boys and I headed home.  We had to get the garage ready for Brandon's work benches and what not from the old house.  Storing them was just no longer an option and Uncle Patrick helped him get them.  Then they headed to get a couch for mom's sitting room.  Of course that was a nightmare of  different color.  It is over now and in the room, where it looks okay.  Hopefully now we can get the daybed sold, it would be nice to have a little extra money, even though it will go straight to bills and whatnot. 

While today was busy we accomplished a lot and got a little more stress off our backs! 

SFX vs. Mt. Brook

This morning started early with John Michel's first soccer game.  He was so excited.  The boys' both love sports, which makes me happy.  Even though we stay slammed all year,  I know the day we will come that they will be on their own and we will be bored.  so for today and until that day comes I am thankful for the craziness that is my life. 
The game was atBrookwood Forrest Elementary, which to us is about as convienent as sandpaper for toilet paper, but hey it is what is it is.  This is going to be a little rant about the new league that the school joined.  First, too much mass chaos at that field...13 games at one time.  Seriously.....too much going on.  Second, there are NO refs.  Third, there are NO bathrooms.  Fourth, the parking is horrible, it would be bad with two games going on with 13, cars are parked down South Brookwood Road, it is pathetic.  I am not really sure what the leauge uses the funds that they collect for since Refs are not provided.  Anyway, just irritating.  Now to the game.
The boys played great, they had a great time too.  The Mountain Brook team was rough and they lost, but they will get better and they had fun and in my opinion that is really what matters.  The kids are enjoying it and they are learning and that is what we all should want for our babies. 

We headed home after the game to watch Auburn and Louisianna Monroe.  It was a great game, and we finaly got a W under our belts, even though it was a field goal in OT.  I am so proud of the Auburn Tigers.  Of course I always am because they are playing hard.  It is all new this year so they have to find their groove. They will soon.  WAR EAGLE!!!

Craig, Liz, Lydia, and Mallechi came over to eat Brandon's hamburgers and hotdogs, and just hang out.  It was so great catching up with them and it not being at work or right at 8:00 in the morning when we are dropping the babies off at school.  It is nice to be able to enjoy the house and have guests, and not have to stress about how bad everything looks.  We laughed, and caught up and just had a good time.  After they left the boys passed out.  They had been going non stop and seriously I think they were asleep before Craig and Liz made it to the Interstate.
