Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the amazing women that I know who are blessed to be moms, aunts, grandmothers, and godmothers.  You are all amazing! 
To my mom, Roselle.  I love you!  While our journey has not always been easy, it has been amazing.  We both survived me being a teenager and here we are today.  I love you so much.  Happy Mother's Day.
My boys are my world.  They are what make me go on even on the hardest of days and I thank God everyday that I am able to call myself a mom.  I love even the little things that make being a mom so special.  The magical healing power of a kiss, the gourmet abilities with my peanut butter sandwhiches, the joy from a smile, and so many other things.  I love my boys and they are the best Mother's Day present I could ask for.
This morning I woke up to pancakes and bacon and even coffee being delivered to bed.  It was awesome but I decided to come eat with my family because spending the day with them is what I love about Mother's Day every year. 

We visited the house today so that we could check the studs and see if there were any that needed to be replaced.  There were a few and some other minor things that need to be addressed.  We made a list and ran it by the agent.  It would be great if they got to that before the walk through on Friday morning, but we will see what happens.

We headed to Mass and it was great.  I love Mass especially when it is with my family.  There is something so bonding about family time with Jesus.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Late Night at the Batting Cages

So tonight we were supposed to have a practice game for John Michael's team to give them a little taste of what it will be like when they are out there with another team. This morning however we got a text that the fields were closed, so we were at the batting cages from 7-8 but it ended up being closer to 9 before we were done. I had a team mom meeting from 7-8 so it was all good, but I know that the boys were tired. Both of mine were done we came home they took a bath and passed out.

Today was somewhat productive for me. I am working on 2 things for John Michael's class and am waiting on money from 9 more parents. One thing is more pressing than the other but they are both important with so many things going on I am hoping to get these wrapped up tight and ready to go. We shall see what happens. One is the Q and U wedding, the other is a surprise for their amazing teacher!

I am also working on something for Danny's teacher and well, there are 24 children in the class and I have money from 3 so we still have a ways to go. That 3 includes Danny! I will be sending reminders though, like all of us I know that there is a lot going on.

I was able to start working on the Cub Scout scrapbook as well as the 2009 scrapbook. It is amazing what I can do when I get determined. I am so ready to have everything the way that I want it and I know that I can get it there with a little more work and focus.

Of course we were on our way home from ball tonight and the brakes started to squeal. That is an expense that I cannot really afford right now. We shall see. Brandon wants me to have the bearings (sp?) checked too and see if the unexplained noise that the dealership, aka crooks, swear is not there. I will NEVER buy a dodge again. I do plan on writing them a long detailed letter of disappointment soon. Maybe I will do that this week. We shall see. With gas at 3.49 a gallon I can barely afford to fill up and I know that affording this right now is impossible.

Today I wore my room mom, team mom, chef's, housekeeper, scrapbooking, mom, and wife hats. Tomorrow I am sure it will be more of the same. I also have to put on my scouting hat Wednesday and probably for a little while tomorrow. Sometimes I feel like I am running in circles, at least there are blessing all the way around.

Well, the picture is a rare one, it has me in it. It is such a rarity that both boys want to lay with momma for a little while, so it was a special moment for me.

For now I say good night to you all. I will be praying for my family and my friends. There is so much happening all over the world, and the least all of us can do is pray for all of those affected.
