A Much Needed Day of Rest

So time changed, and even though I remembered last night, I so forgot to change the clocks that I have to change. Usually we have the alarm on our phones set so we would have been okay, but not this morning. We slept late, REALLY late, but so did the boys and they really needed it. Praying that everyone gets back on schedule tomorrow. Even though it is Spring Break it is our only day with Daddy home so we are going to see Rango.

We really had a relaxing day, we just lounged around and enjoyed the day. We went in the back yard and threw the ball around for a little while. The boys had a blast and so did I. I think Brandon was glad to get his arm worked out after two days and three practices of throwing the ball. Playing made me really miss softball, but seriously, there is not any time for that. Maybe one day I will get on an adult team. For now I am going to enjoy being at the park for my boys!

Danny was really excited to drink an Auburn Coke!

John Michael's face is looking a little better as far as the swelling, but the bruise is starting to look worse. I know it is part of it getting better, but it breaks my heart.

We did try to find some knee savers this evening for our catcher boy Danny, but no such luck. Come on Academy we need these!!! We are going to check a few places tomorrow including online. You would think these would be as easy to find as catching gear...considering they go together. What do I know though.

So on the news tonight I saw that there is an average of $18,000 a year spent on every prisoner and an average of $3,800 a year spent on each student. Does anyone else see the problem here. This is why I want to get into politics. Something needs to be done about this. I am all for stale bread and water for their meals....why exactly do they deserve more? Hell, that is more than some American families live on. SAD SAD SAD!

So it is 11:30 and I am way past my bedtime! I am headed there as soon as I post this! Before I go to bed I want all of my friends and family to know that I am praying for them. I would also like to ask you all to pray for an old friend of mine Kim and her baby Jemma and who is in NICU at Children's, as well as their family. Thank you all so much. We all know that God has amazing hands and I just want this family to feel His presence and see His miracles!

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.
