The next stars?

I took this picture last weekend. It looks like I could have some new stars in the family. Father and Sons? You never know. It was keeping them busy, I was able to read alittle in my book without the kids bugging me.

Good bye basketball here I come softball

Those were Red's words last night after she played her last basketball game for the season. They lost by 3. We are really hoping the jv coach will not be back next year. If she is Red let me know she will be trying out for cheerleading. haha
Varisty girls took 2nd in league and will be going onto state. I hope they go far.
We are now onto the next season of sports and now it has started to rain. We could even have snow tomorrow morning in the valley floor. Red is thinking we should move somewhere dry and warm so she can play softball all year long.
We are really looking forward to an awsome softball season.

Not me Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Oops. I didn't forget that it was "not me Monday". Really what was I thinking? I didn't spend the evening with my niece (who doesn't look anything like my oldest daughter) teaching her to "air burp" It wasn't so funny that my mom and I almost peed our pants. We weren't on the floor rolling in laughter. Has anyone ever seen a 2 yr old trying to burp on command?

I didn't spend my morning watching 3/4 grade girls play basketball while Red refed the game. It wasn't so boring that I almost fell asleep. Oh how I don't remember those days. I then didn't go help with the new softball fields. I didn't spend the next 2 hours picking rocks out of the infield. Nope not me!

I almost didn't come unglued at the coach on the phone Friday night. I also didn't hear that 2 more girls quite because they can't stand her with only a handful of games left. Nope, not me!

Softball brings sunshine and smiles.

We are wrapping up winter sports here and spring sports are starting. That means softball. Yah. I love to watch Red play basketball but my favorite is softball. She plays short stop which is what her dad played. How fitting? Just by chance one year she got his number also.
She had a clinic with a college coach last weekend and got some good pointers. He felt she is ready for the Big V team. Both of the high school coaches also liked what they saw. I am really hoping she makes the varisity team. She needs it. She has been really down on herself during basketball. The coach is a horses ass. I am really hoping she will not be back next year. Last night, she was out of line and Curtis ended up calling her and talking with her. She sent Red a text about a practice that Red didn't know about. Red wanted to know when they were told about practice. She told Red "not to talk to her in that tone" Wow! Red came to me upset, I could not believe what she had said to her. The coach was totally out of line. It has been a long bumpy road in basketball. I am hoping for softball to be better. With softball, around the corner it also means the sun will be out and smiles.

I guess, I might be lacking in the post department because, well I really don't have an excuse.

Last week, I did not lay in bed while Ford got Big D ready for school because, I was just too lazy and cold. I didn't have to get up at 2 am to a barfing kid. That did make it to the toilet. I did not spend the next 2 hours mopping the bathroom floor, cleaning the walls and scrubing it with bleach from top to bottom.
I really didn't feel like spending Saturday in my sweats watching tv and reading a book. I didn't have to be tickled and sweet talked to get off the sofa and get ready to take the kids to target. Nope, not me.
Lastly, I didn't beam from ear to ear as I watched my daughter play an awsome basketball game. Which, didn't go into over time. Which, they didn't win. Nope, not me.

My little Sicky

There has been so much going on here at the house with Parker. He got a cold and his asthma flaired up. We went to the drs. Between 4 meds, antibotic, steriod, cough, and another steriod for the neb machine the poor little guy didn't know if he was coming or going. He came off the steriod on Saturday, by Sunday evening we were using the machine every 3 hours. Took him back to the drs yesterday, they did a chest xray and they were clear. Thank god. But his asthma is out of control. Dr put him back on steriod for 3 weeks and finish up antibotics. Last night, he was up all night throwing up, and we had to use the neb machine. If he is not better by Friday morning I am to bring him back in. He has to eat to take the steriod but then he just throws it back up. I don't know if he caught the flu on top of what he already has. I just want him to get better.

Giving getting some much needed mom and Parker time the other night.

not normal

Our life this past 3 months has just not been normal. I wish this would go back to how they were. I am really missing my nephew and I know my brother is also. I can not understand how a mother can keep their child away their dad. I am not being bias, but my brother is clearly the better parent. But she has the welfare system wrapped around her little finger. What I don't get is she already signed her older daughter over to the dad. I am thinking it has to do with different last names or our court is just that screwed up.
Just thinking about my web slinging, wall climbing, spiderman Z. Aunt Tammy loves and misses you.
