I'm Back For The Moment

I can’t believe how long it has been since I’ve been on my blog.  It seems like eternity.  We’ve been busy enjoying our summer.  Between the kids’ schedules and work when we have a day off we just sit and soak up the sun.

The school year ended back in June with the kids looking forward to sleeping in everyday.  All I know is summer vacation means an increase in the grocery bill.  We go through a lot of pizza rolls and mini tacos through the summer.

Our softball season ended in July with a trip to the 13U Softball World Series in Des Moines, Iowa.  We placed 25^th out of just over 50 teams.  Not too bad considering the season we had.  Everything that could go wrong this year did.  Lots of injuries (including J) and loss of enthusiasm for the game. Was just a rough year.  J injured her ankle pretty bad at school and it has been rough trying to get it to heal when she is so active.  We kept it wrapped with a ankle brace and that seems to help.  She is off now for awhile so hopefully it will heal completely now that she can take it easy.

MJ has been busy this summer with football conditioning and hanging out with his friends.  I wanted him to get a part-time job over the summer but dad wants him to stay focus on his sports.  He doesn’t want him giving up his sports for a job like he did when he was growing up.  I didn’t push the job thing too much knowing how important this was to my husband.  So MJ has been enjoying his summer A LOT!  Boy is he in for a surprise when school starts – his curfew will be decreasing.  Ha Ha!!

As for the hubby he has been busy with work.  Suddenly around 4^th of July work has just exploded.  Which is good since he is in the construction industry.

As for me I’ve been busy with work, taking care of the house, and going to softball games.  I’m enjoying the time off right now.  We are in between sports so we get a little break.  I’m doing some much needed cleaning of closets and getting my two kids ready for school.  Wow, where has the time gone.
