Christmas and Soccer

So what do these two things have in common? My day!

I dropped the boys off this morning and came home to start wrapping. I am going to get ahead of the stuff and this is definitely the first step. I am seriously not sure how we ended up with so much. I feel like I am on an episode of hoarders. I actually got a lot done and feel a little more accomplished.

The boys' had a great day today. We had another green face. After school was soccer, which is always a lot of fun. The boys get to run off energy and I have a few minutes to just relax, walk, talk, and enjoy the day.

The boys' were super excited to find out that their Halloween costumes had arrived. They are too cute too. Danny is Captain Jack Sparrow and John Michael is Batman. They tried them on and while we were close to having to send them back they should work. They look great in them.

Well, I am off. It has been a busy day and there is a lot to do tomorrow. Cleaning out the van is one step in the day, the one that scares me the most to be honest. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Terrific Tuesday

So this morning we woke up on time, not as early as I would like, but on time. This was a nice change from yesterday. YAY for good things happening. The smallest of blessings can make such a huge difference in a day and that was certainly the case today.


While the boys were in school, I scrubbed the bathrooms. I have so much to get done, but one step at a time. I am determined to make progress everyday no matter how big or small. Every step counts. I spent the rest of the day down in the office. I have so many Christmas presents already and I have to get them out of the office so we can get our office back downstairs and off our dining room table. Right now the stuff is one and I am none, hopefully I can change that tomorrow. I honestly did not remember having so much already, which is good and bad. I might have a jump start on 2012's Christmas.
Danny had a great day at school today. He likes Tuesdays because he can wear his scout uniform, which is just something different. I can understand that. I am just glad that he likes to wear it. I am hoping that I can take it to the cleaner's tomorrow and get them to correct my mishaps on his patches.
John Michael had a good day in school, but ended up with another yellow face. I know that he can behave so I am not sure what is happening with him lately. I hope and pray that tomorrow is better.
After school we had soccer practice. John Michael was super pumped that his friend Chason was practicing with him. They are awesome.
We had spaghetti for dinner and John Michael added some Halloween bling to his. Thank goodness for sprinkles! He loves to decorate his food. At least he ate it tonight, which is better than the last time he made his spaghetti sparkle.
Well, they are in bed and I am headed there too. I wanted to be in bed at 9, but 10 is better than 11. Here's to hoping I get some rest. Falling asleep and staying that way seems to be the problem. It will get better though. Please know that I am remembering you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please continue to send them up for my friend Cassandra.
