There's No Place Like Home

I wholeheartedly agree with Dorothy, especially when it feels like you’re never there!!! And that pretty much sums up our life at the moment. Here’s a couple of quick tidbits to update you on the craziness that is my life!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

We are knee deep in baseball practice and tournaments for the next couple of weeks. It’s exhausting: the travel, the disappointments (yeah, we played 3 games last week and lost 3 games), and keeping the other 3 JDCs at least mildly happy during said interludes. Usually at least an hour or more of travel time, arriving an hour early for game, then another 2 hours for the game, traveling home…yawn, I’m tired just thinking about it.



Here’s a pic of Jilly this morning as we’re heading out to drop Jared off for baseball camp this week. Yes, this week we’ve got 3 days of camp, 2 nights of practice, 2 games (more if we win, poor kids I hope they win at least one), and we’re making a lightning trip 3 hours away to hear my dad speak at a church event..I don’t think tired even begins to describe how I feel.





Let’s Get Physical!

Um..okay, so far I have almost completed dropped my exercise routine. I did hop on the elliptical a couple times last week and hubby and I got a quick walk last night. I also had a checkup yesterday and my blood pressure is slowly creeping up, so of course my doctor prescribed..daily exercise..smile..grit teeth..smile again.

It's a Crazy Life..but it's Our Life

I couldn't bear to watch Jon and Kate on Monday night. I finally got up my nerve last night at about 1:30 a.m. when I couldn't sleep. Double, triple, quadruple sigh. I know Kate was *sometimes* snappy and shrewish. I'm sure for the most part, she made her bed and now she's lying alone in it. But my heart is broken and I am in deep mourning for them. And while I'm on the subject, what the heck is up w/ Jon's TWO new earrings? Really? This is what he needs to get through this life crisis? Come on!

Couldn't think of a Clever Phrase to Introduce my Last Update

My BFF still does not have internet at her new home, at least I don’t think so (hello, Jen, are you there?). So we did a little texting/tweeting last week but that’s it. I think I’ve been too stinking busy to dwell on the fact she’s not close by. I’m looking forward to youth camp when she and I can have at least a few face-to-face conversations…hopefully.

So in honor of my celebration of BFF's, I'm posting a pic of Josie with her cousin Macy--Josie is a lucky girl, she has many BFF's. Macy is enjoying a week at the beach and Josie is missing her!

(Sorry for all the craziness w/ the pics and spacing but I'm just too tired to fix it!)
