where to begin

WOW! what a long time. let's see, I was RIF'd from my job in May, was offered a position that opened right before the new school year started. So, I'm back to work, just not in my previous position. I love my new job - and my schedule. Mon - Thur and I'm home by 1:30. Can you say AWESOME!

The kids are BUSY! The freshman is loving high school. The 6th grader thinks it's cool to be "big man on campus." Of course we are in the thick of fall activities: softball, baseball, scouts, and a very active social for the before mentioned freshman.

Guess I will try to do better at updating - feel like a broken record with saying that. But I really will try this time.

BELIEVE

My son's baseball team is now in the fight to get into the Championship game. Tonight's game is a must win situation. I have told the boys their new motto is BELIEVE! And I think they are actually listening to me - I can hope anyway...

My daughter has a softball game, away, starting an hour before my son's game. We are hoping to make the last 45 min of my son's game. I'm counting on my baseball friends to keep me in the loop while I'm not there.

After Saturday...we have to start a new normal..no practice, games, snack bar...what is one to do...

Goodness gracious - it's been such a long time since I posted ANYTHING on my blog.

Well, we are now in the wind down stage of baseball and softball - yes, I did say, or type, softball. Our daughter at the sweet age of 14 has decided to get into the game. And let me tell you how much she has improved in 6 short weeks. LOVE IT!

Our son has been in a bit of a slump the past, uh hum 7 games, until last week. He is BACK! And the first game of playoffs was a stellar game for him! And all his teammates! YAY!

We also just returned from a wonderful trip to Disneyland/California Adventure and the beach in San Diego.

What else, well, I am now the mother of a freshman and 6th grader. As the saying goes...I don't know where the time has gone.
I am still out of a job. My position was eliminated in the school district I was working in. It's okay since we are fortunate enough that my husband has a very secure position with the fire dept. Thank Goodness!!

It's summer and I love my lazy mornings..but the laundry seems to be never, ever ending...

I will try harder to post. If ANYONE, I mean ANYONE looks at this blog, please let me know.

Until next time...
