Life's about to get crazy...but I love it!!

So just when you think life is settling down, you get picked back up in the whirl wind again.
The 6th graders at school have lost their minds. Well, I'm not sure that they really had any to begin with. They have spring fever way too early which has me scared to death for when spring actually gets here. Sometimes they are too much to control. There are some days when they put me in a really good mood and I leave school thinking how lucky I am to have such a great job. Then there are other days when I leave there with the mind-set of, "What was I thinking"... I am having way too many days of the later.
Baseball and Softball are kicking off. Tim has agreed to help coach HG's team. She is so excited to have him helping with her team. They both officially start practice this week. She will be having practice on Monday and Thursday with dance on Wed. so I figure Carter will have practice on Tuesday and Friday and then some in between. I'm sure we will be busy with that most nights of the week. Either way, now that Tim is working days he will be able to attend all of them even though he will be late for a few.
Carter started running a fever last night and has had one all day. Then he informed me this afternoon that 6 kids were absent on Friday and some of them had strep. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon and no one else will get it. I can't get him to the Dr. now until Monday to get him some antibiotics. I don't know why they don't call medicine in over the phone like they use to. It would be so much easier.
Anyway sorry for the "poor me" post. It was not intended to be that way, but I sure feel better being able to vent.
I was saying all of this to mean that I love the business of life. My kids and family are my life. I love the memories that are being made and the fun being had while doing it. We love baseball/softball season. We love to watch our kids in action. WE ARE TRULY BLESSED!!

Valentine's Day

You gotta love Valentine's Day. Tim had to work today until 6:00. The kids worked for a couple of hours decorating the table and making dinner and a cake to surprise him when he came home. They were so proud of themselves and so were we. Valentine's Day is usually more of a family holiday for us. We had a great time preparing then enjoying dinner and dessert together.

In memory...

Today would have been my Grandaddy Leon's birthday. He passed away 10 years ago. Wow, It seems so weird to say that it has been that long ago. He was a wonderful man and loved us kids so much. I was pregnant with HannahGrace when he died and I think so many times about how he would have been so in love with my kids and the other great-grandkids too. We love you grandaddy, Happy Birthday. I can only imagine what it must be like to have Jesus at your birthday party...
