Just add Cement....and Injuries!

So let me just say I love Fridays with Brandon!  They are awesome and they really mean a lot to me, we get to do all of the things that we need to do and never have time for.  Like getting new shoes.  I have not had new shoes in a few years and Brandon well he abuses his.  I want to start running so I wanted good shoes and so did he.  We went to Track Shak in Trussville and they were great!  I also want to say that I LOVE my new Brooks!  WOW!  I had no idea how bad my shoes felt until I felt the way that shoes should feel. 
We headed home and were going to get to work in the office and den when the school called.  Danny had hurt his wrist and it was swollen.  We headed to check him out and went on and got John Michael.  It ended up being a sprain, which is definitely something that we can all live with. 
We all headed up to the house to see if we had a foundation.  Guess what we did!  They were still working, but it was awesome to see our porches and our garage floor and the foundation for the house!  Now it will cure all weekend but I do not care, I am so glad that there is something happening there I do not know what to do.

After that we headed to the ballpark for family night.  Games were all canceled, which sucks.  I personally like the ballpark being active with games.  All the other stuff can go on too, but I like games!  In fact that is what we signed up for.  Anyway we were there for all of about ten minutes when Danny and another kid were throwing.  They decided to start pitching, well the other kid was pitching Danny was catching.  They were too close he threw a fast ball, which Danny is not used to anyway.  Also Danny was not in his gear.  Anyway, the ball centered Danny in his eye.  We ended up at the hospital and then home waking him up every couple of hours.  Poor guy is all I can say.  He is such a trooper and I know that it hurt. 

Noses Know

Well, I did not know what a broken nose felt like, but I do now. After not sleeping last night, but tossing and turning I finally got up to see two black eyes. They are not bad, but definitely there. The throbbing is a lot of fun, but I will deal. Doctors are just not going to happen. I thought about it and talked to several people. Since it is not visibly crooked, and I can breathe the pain that would come from the doctors office is just not worth it to me.

Most of the day I was trying to stay focused and awake. I was just so tired, and still am. I am hoping that tomorrow is better. I have way too much to get done to feel this way.

After Brandon got home we got in the truck and headed to my mom's. John Michael started saying his tummy hurt and then he decided to throw up everywhere. We came home I brought him in and Danny and Brandon went to moms. I hated that we did not go, but honestly I did not feel like riding in the car. My head throbs from my nose and I am just yuck feeling. We will get by there this week though.

John Michael seems to be feeling better. After his bath he laid around while Brandon and Danny were gone. He has been and still is wild as he can be since they got home. In fact the picture is some of his silliness! Needless to say Brandon and Danny are asleep and I am up hoping that John Michael will be asleep soon. Nights like this I would normally put him in our bed, but he tosses so bad and with my nose that option just is not going to happen.

Danny started bringing home things from second grade. A few stories that he has done, the state stars, his Spanish folder, a few other things. It was kind of sad to know that it really is the end second grade. At least for a few years. I am sure that it will be here before I know it with John Michael.

Amy and I made a scrapbooking date for this weekend and I am super excited. The boys are just as excited because they said they are going to have a party in their room to celebrate summer. Works for me. This is scrapbooking month and it just seemed wrong not to actually scrapbook! Now to get a few pictures printed.

Well, I am off to bed, I hope! I will say a prayer for all of you before I go to sleep. I hope that you have a great night and that tomorrow is productive and full of amazing possibilities!

Report Cards, Baseball and Busted Lips

Today was John Michael's last day of school before Spring Break. Needless to say he was excited. He was not thrilled that the beach was not in our plans. If we had the means though it would be! He is so much like me when it comes to the beach...LOVE IT!!!

Danny has tomorrow to go but did get a special out of uniform day for raising over $35 for Jump Rope for Heart. It was also 3rd quarter report cards. I was so proud of him. He is reading over 100 words a minute and had all A's and 2 B's. His Conduct and all that jazz was superb. All over the board a VERY happy momma and daddy! BTW...if he was in public school it would be all A's. Tougher scale in private school which is good.

Tonight was Danny's first baseball practice. It was great to be back on the fields with my boys. It would have been better had it not been so bitterly cold. Danny did great, and was really glad to be back out there. Tonight's was a basic practice just to get the boys back in the swing of things.

John Michael fell after practice and busted his lip. It is so swollen, and just breaks my heart. I hate it when the boys are hurt, and for him to have cried as long and as hard as he did I know that it hurt. It looks like there is a possible black eye too, but I guess we will have to see what the morning brings. I just hope that it does not hurt anymore. He has his first practice tomorrow night.

So it seems that there is some flooding taking place at the lake so after we drop Danny off at school we will be heading that way. If it is not here it is there. What can you do though?

Well it is after 10 again, and I am just now heading to bed but it is what it is. Maybe I should start aiming for 10 instead of 9....things to think about. Tomorrow is my last day in my 20's so I am planning on having a good day and am really looking forward to scrapbooking with Amy! It has been too long and I am so far behind! Anyway. I am off to bed. Before I go to bed I will be praying for all of my friends and family. I am also saying a special prayer for my friend Terri....she needs a "Hey I am ok."
