What day is it?

Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say… it’s alright…..

Happy Thursday, Okay, well ACTUALLY it is wet, cold and dreary… I have been freezing in my office all week and I have been miserable, I wore my coat all day yesterday and it was just a little on the snug side, ahem… One wall in my office is almost completely a window, huge (no view, all I see is the side of the other building and the sidewalk) and I seriously think there is no insulation around it, I can feel the wind coming into my office! UGH!

I am tired, to say the least…. Last night I went to put baby bear to sleep and fell asleep with him, fully clothed with my shoes on… I was borderline delirious because I was baking a cake and brownies to send with my SCC (small church community) my girlies that meet and pray once a month, for the Men’s retreat that is going on this weekend. Ya, my friend Cathy totally volunteered us to provide the meal for 50 men, I think she was feeling guilty because she never rescheduled our last meeting and it was her turn to host… So I have had a freezer full of cookies from the Youth Rally (did I post pictures of that yet) and I had to pack those up, bake brownies and a cake… plus I had to go to the grocery store to get sodas and buns … and of course my son has a meltdown over a Transformer toy he saw that he has been looking for ‘his whole life’… so I am stressed because I had already taken the Momo to run her errands, hadn’t been home one night this week, had both of them with me at the store and Noah telling me he wanted a new mommy because I was so so mean and crying the entire time and Momo trying to negotiate with him, I am totally ignoring him (even though I feel like I am about to have a stroke) and telling myself I am not going to react when he throws the toy in the freezer section and starts walking beside me, mad but quiet, well don’t you know the momo has to pick up the toy and bring it just to see how much it is… Ya, love my life… Okay, totally got off track here, did I mention that I dropped her off and she is practically crying because she thinks I am going to take him home and beat him… (if only LOL) I get him to the house and he calms down on his own… anyway, long story short, I fell asleep with a batch of brownies in the oven… no, the smoke didn’t wake me up because I always bake on low and so the house actually smelled really good… the brownies were a rock, and goodbye to that pan… but, I did have 8 that come out of the first batch (could have sworn when I went to bed there were 12 on that plate) but … oh well, my cake is pretty!

So Johnny is leaving on retreat today and won’t be back until Sunday, Noah has his first Karate class tonight, I have UNITAS at the same time and Momo just called to ask me if I could take her to a doctor appt. at 4 and it’s out of town but she is not feeling well so… again, I will not likely be home until close to nine tonight… oh great, I just remembered I set the timer on my washing machine so I guess I’ll be re-washing that load… just like the load that I have waiting to go back in the washer because my husband forgot to start the dryer when he left yesterday.

I just finished filling out Noah’s registration form for Soccer, I am so excited because this will be his first year playing… He has come a long way in team sports, he used to cry when I was taking him now he has a blast, hope that keeps up… I am really trying to get him into club sports, that he can stay in through High School because if we decide to keep him in Catholic school they don’t really have a competitive sports program, so he is trying everything until we find his niche… He really loves basketball and flag football and those are the only two I haven’t found Club leagues for, I think he will be sticking with the Seguin Baseball youth league now that he is old enough because I am pretty sure we are going to have to go out of town for the others. I don’t necessarily want him to be an outstanding player, of course that would be great, I just want him involved and especially understand… gotta start them young and this Momma stays on top of it, I can’t begin to tell you how many emails and calls I have made to make sure we don’t miss deadlines…

I am not sure where we are going with the whole school situation, I worry that keeping him in Catholic school will shelter him and not provide enough diversity but I can’t knock the fact that my son is already reading and doing math and has been writing since he was three, and I love the way they take care of our kids… It’s a hard choice and I think we are going to take it a year at a time, we’ll see. You want to do what is best for your child, and private school requires a lot more involvement, which is a good thing and the money is a sacrifice that I feel is worth it but knowing that his school only goes to 8th grade leaves us with a public school to stay local or a Catholic High School which will mean going out of town. Yes, I look ahead…probably too much but hey, this little boy depends on the decisions we make for him and that is a lot of responsibility… If only that Transformer was our biggest worry! LOL
