I made it through the morning! I got up so late (all the kids slept in) that I was not sure everyone would get where they need to be on time. Everyone made it with little resistance. What a weekend. We ended up not going anywhere since Marisa start to run a temp on and off. Brayden and Becca seem to be on the up swing. Now Bridget and Marisa are going through this mess. I guess I am battling it with some chills at night and a low grade fever. I am a little congested in the morning. I go around the house every morning and night with Clorox wipes and Clorox anywhere spraying everything down. I am about to make myself a belt to hold all my "tools" or I guess I could just go out and get a shower caddy. Yesterday Marisa cleaned all the doorknobs for me. She had a blast!
I have some very motivational friends! I have decided to make more time for "me"and not at midnight. So I called into the local Soccer stadium and put my name on a waiting list to play soccer. I am excited and nervous. I have not played in so long that I am not sure how I will do. Though once a week will not hurt me and should be lots of fun. Another thing I started was blogging again. I love to write but never have time. This is my "writing" time. About 10min a day when all the kids are asleep. I figure it is a good time to keep "grandmas" up to date on the kids (grandpas too) and relieve some stress since I have no "out" right now. Now I just need to figure how not to feed it into Facebook. I am sure that everyone on my list doesn't want to hear me blabbering everyday.
Last night I realized how hard Mondays can be for Mom. I had so much to do and Marisa was just bouncing off the wall with excitement for school. It is nice to see her excited for school but not so nice to see all the papers I needed to sign and fundraiser I had to fill out. Travis was not happy about the fundraiser. He wanted me to write a check out and just give it to the school. Wish we could do that sometimes.
Marisa and Rebecca started Sunday School yesterday at church. They were excited to be in the same class. Travis and I just had Brayden and Bridget in church. It was nice yet weird. We could actually pay attention more and hear what was going on. Brayden was such an amazing little boy compared to normal with the girls being around. He had our attention which he liked. Bridget was tired so I just rocked her down while in the pew. I am so happy she is used to noise because she just fell right to sleep. Bridget makes the days so much easier with her happy, laid back attitude. The first break for Sunday School is Thanksgiving weekend. Marisa asked if there was Saturday school anywhere, she would like to go to that. LOL she can make me laugh.
I turned on the computer today to start working on "legal stuff" and realized when the computer crashed we lost what I was working on. Yes I did save the file. Some how with recovering our system I lost the 3 last files I was working on. Ahhhh. Back to the beginning for me. I feel like I am never home to clean lately. I have been to the doctor too many times and all this school and soccer stuff is driving me crazy. I am nervous about the outage in November and how crazy it will get then. I understand it is "scheduled" for 30 days but to be prepared for 45 or more days of Travis working 60hour weeks possible night shift. From what he said no traveling from 2 weeks prior to 2weeks after. I worry about him, the kids and lastly me (vacation for me in Jan?). I am trying to think positive and be the center juggler so all are happy. First I need to get through October when Travis will be gone for a week and the girls have so much school stuff going on, then I can worry about Thanksgiving and Christmas. I realized that we can celebrate around Travis' schedule and all can still be happy. Seeing my mom not just survive stuff like this with us, but come out of it so strong, has given me the strength I need to start. That doesn't mean I won't be calling a lot, she is my mom and I love talking to her and getting advise (hope I am not bugging you too much).
Since tonight is Soccer/Frisbee night I need to go start supper. I understand both may be canceled due to rain and Travis working late but nothing has been canceled yet so I must prepare. Soccer 5:30 - 6:30 and Frisbee from 6:30 to 8pm??? When do I feed supper? too early for my liking.
