Don't We Get A Dress Rehearsal?

WARNING: The contents of this post contain poop, reader discretion advised. So I am sitting in my office and in walks Micah with an “I didn’t mean to do it” look on his face; shoulders looking defeated and remorseful... remember we are "office schooling" him for a few more weeks. Without me even prompting him to tell me what happened he skittishly says “sorry mom, I mean I am really sorry.” So I asked what happened and he sadly replies “I think I maybe used a little bit too much toilet paper” oh.boy. So I ran over to the bathroom and sure enough the water is filled to the point of overflowing and there is a little Lincoln Log just making a circle around the bowl while half the toilet paper roll is stuck in the flushing hole part (technical term). Ughhhhhh we have no plunger, so what do I do, flush it again! Stupid, stupid…stupid idea. So then I decide to shut the door as if it was a magic trick thinking it would all disappear when I opened it again. I turn around and get d...

A little late I know, but with all the things listed below you can see I have been loving all over my kiddos :) Ahhhhhh Mother’s Day, a day to celebrate all the wonderful things you do for your family… clean, cook, clean up poop, clean up animal poop, bath-time, bedtime, kiss booboos, shield heads from sharp corners, occasionally catch throw-up in your hands (you know you’ve done it), give up over half your bed for a pint size little person, hug, discipline, listen to the words “MOM, look, look... LOOK” or explain ten thousand times why you are NOT allowed to swing a bat right next your sibling, schedules...oh the schedules, pack lunches, kiss...and kiss...and kiss more, be a rock for them… it goes on. I got a HUGE Mother's Day card! ...and I enjoy being that person to do all those things, and I wouldn't change it for anything, so thank you to my family for letting me be their momma!  A HUGE THANK YOU to my mom for loving me unconditionally and never showing me thos...

So remember in my last post about the TIG being over and I was all excited to get us back on a normal schedule…oh boy, was I off! Just as soon as we got settled into a routine for a good week, Matt and I were on the road recruiting for 2013 Colleges and Universities. It was strictly business, so we didn’t have time to stop and smell the roses. We headed up to the Midwest area to catch a few conference championships and say hello to some of our “loyal” coaches who bring their team to the TIG every year. We got back Thursday night at about midnight…that was after we were stuck on the tarmac for 2 hours due to bad weather in Chicago… I thought we were going to be one of those Jet Blue stories where people go crazy and start rebelling against the flight crew and demand to get off the plane…we were close but thankfully we weren’t! With us out of town that meant we needed help with the kiddos… it takes a village I tell ya! Coordinating pick-up and drop-off from school, sleep-over’s betw...
