6, 7, 8

Saturday morning was an early one for all of us. Well, if you consider 6:30 early.

Jaxi had his first two scrimmages this morning. It was so fun. HOT, but fun. We realized that Mom can not sit on High School bleachers anymore. Holy mother of pain. I thought my pelvis was going to crack when I tried to stand up.

Jax fell farther in love with hitting kids... I think I fell farther in love with my kid. He has a passion for playing and it is what we held off for. For years I was criticized for not putting him in every sport like everyone else. I made him get the good grades and prove he really wanted it. I am not about to force my kids to play sports because everyone else is doing it. He now pretty much blows me away in our workouts.... HE WAS READY FOR THIS!! I can not even describe the look of PRIDE in Tommy's eyes when he watches him. Jaxi has always been the quite kid. I think I have spanked him one time in his life. He is just a good kid. He doesn't grab ass with the other kids who have to be yelled at to come back from water breaks and he is always the first on the field asking the coaches questions. I love it.

The rest of the day included a wonderfully crippling workout...... Our neighbor thought a bad guy was either chasing me as I ran circles around the block or Tommy was just being really really mean to me...... a ton of play time and a bunch of movies after BBQ'ING. Some things just rock.

Sunday brought on lazy lazy lazy-ness... Oh wait... that has been all of Spring Break. And it agrees with me... except for the fact that every flippen morning Pudgie comes straight to me and sticks his little face in mine just breathes. What a beautiful way to wake up.

Naps and movies and Oregano's for Pazookie..... and more movies rounded out the day. But not without decorating all the concrete in our neighborhood. The kids got a total kick out of chalking on the street and all over our driveway... in the middle of the night. Daddy even got in on the action. I think that I will pay for his chalking.... but whatever.

Monday was an indoors all day kind of day. Laundry and cleaning things up, which didn't seem to put a dent in anything, consumed a lot of the day. Tommys sheer frustration at being home is shining brightly. He gets exposed to the things he is normally sleeping through or walking out the door from. He finally told me, "You were a lot more patient when you were on the road." "YOU THINK?" was all I could get out. Football practice and more chalking and ending the night with the movie 2012.........

And finally, Brinkley has fallen in love with "Splurge & Save," on HGTV. She wants to start re-decorating our house...... I told her that she has to figure out the whole "SAVE" only part and we could re-do something!!!!!! (It won't last, trust me!!!) And.....

I found out that I have been doing my points for my challenge wrong... since day one. WONDERFUL!

On to Tuesday..............
