Busy Time

[tanzilynn]

I'm not going to be able to be on very much. I am getting pretty busy with working at the golf course and girl scouts right now, then I just signed up the 3 older kids for baseball and softball, so I will be pretty busy with ball practices and ball games. I will be checking in as often as I can.

i know how sports season is...it can be pretty hectic..especially when i had more than one playing at a time...it ended up being we had practice everyday..cause ours was one age league on mon and wed..the one below or above tues and thurs. but it was even worse when i had one in scouts, soccer both boys in chorus and grae in dance...it was non stop running...i am thankful that life besides my health is slowed down a lot...just dance on tues and thursdays...nothing else til soccer season. but have fun and hope the teams do well

thanks lisa! I'm going to be gone all afternoon doing booth sales for girl scouts for kourtney then i'll spend this evening doing an inventory of all our cookies and gathering all the money to give to the troop leader tomorrow. I'm going to have to spend the rest of tomorrow teaching tanner and kourtney how to catch the ball all over again! I really need to start cooking a bunch of different suppers and freeze them, cuz we've been having to stay at the golf course till 8 in the evening and by this summer we'll probably be staying there till 9. I'm not going to have enough time later this summer to be able to do all i have to get done, plus cook a big dinner everynight, and we can't afford to eat out every night! Kourtney wants to take dance classes too, but I'm going to hold off on that until baseball season is over!

I've been super busy with Easter this past weekend, I lost count how many different egg hunts we went to! But the kids had fun and that's all that matters. Kourtney just turned 8 last friday and so we are having her party this coming friday so I'm still busy with plans for her party. I've finally got a little time today because with the rain here Tanner and Kourtney's ball practices were canceled so I don't have to sit through 2-3 hours of practice! Their ball games start on May 7th so when their games start I am going to be doing a lot of driving, because one town that we always play is Rocky Comfort and it's about an hour from here and I've got two of them playing. Cody went and got himself in a lot of trouble at school and his grades have been dropping so we are having to spend a lot more time staying on top of him and his activities have been canceled until he straightens up. I just had to go to the school today because he forged my signature on a paper saying he had not turned in a paper in science. His principle called yesterday and said he had gotten a ZAP (Zero's Aren't Permitted) letter sent home last week and that it hadn't been signed and turned in by the end of the week, but when I picked the kids up from school yesterday Cody told me that he found a ZAP letter signed on my desk and he turned it in yesterday. I told him that I most certainly did not sign it and if it had my signature on it then he must have forged it and he said that he didn't. Then he tried to tell me that maybe his dad had signed my name. I told him that if dad was going to sign something for school he would have signed his own name, not mine. So when I was talking to my husband last night about what to do about all this he told me that Cody had told him Friday that he knew how to sign my name. It wasn't Cody's smartest move to tell him that. I called the school first thing this morning and the principle told me that the teacher knew right away that it wasn't my signature. Then he told the teacher that I had only signed my first name so he just went ahead and signed my last name for me. I don't think so! I'm still ticked off about that. I just don't know what to do anymore. I've tried everything with the boy. He just doesn't care. He's saying provocitive things to girls at school, mouthing off to his teachers, lying to everyone about everything. I'm just lost here. Any suggestions?

I'm going to be going to my mom's house tonight, because Cayden has a check up with the hormone doctor in Springfield in the morning. Hopefully he's grown enough in the last 6 months to satisfy them. when he was weighed last month he weighed 22 lbs. so he's gained 5 lbs. in the last 6 months but he's only grown 3/4 of an inch. Springfield is 2 hours from here and only an hour from my mother, so that's why i'm staying with her tonight, then we have to come straight back here to Noel and get ready for Kourtney's birthday party, but I will be back on late Friday night or early Saturday morning.

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been on in a while, I've been super busy with the kids and then when I do get a chance to relax, that's exactly what I do! Ball season is about over, they have had me running ragged with games. I've been having up to 6 games a week and 2 to 4 practices a week, and that's just the ball games, that's not counting all the running around I have to do for Warren and Dr.'s appointments and the like. Cayden is getting more energetic and only needing one nap a day now, so we spend a lot of time chasing each other. And you should see him! He is just 18 months and alreayd he looks like a little baseball player! Without any instruction from anyone, just him watching his sister's team play, he picked up his new bat and was ready to play. He's the same way with golf too, go figure since his dad and I run the pro shop at the golf course! Here's a few pics of the kids! I'm so glad to finally have some time, I've missed you guys!

Cayden playing ball with Tanner in the yard!

Kourtney up to bat at her first game!

Tanner at his first game!

T-Ball and Softball tournaments start next week and I don't know how long they will last, but hopefully not long! I will be checking in more often now that we're about done!

[BunnyRabt]

Fun pictures, Tanzi. Your kids are growing up so fast! I just had one to keep track of...I can't even imagine how busy you must be!

Good to hear from you.

[dlfreak]

Sorry I haven't been on in a while, I thought once baseball season was over things would calm down, but it was just the opposite! Then it was "well maybe when school starts...." Nope, now Tanner's doing soccer, I'm trying to find a girl scout troop for Kourtney and now that Lindsey and the girls are here in town, I have someone to go shopping with and talking on the phone with and such! I've missed being able to do things with her and the girls! Here recently almost everyone in the house was sick including me and so I was busy with sick people all wanting something from me!!! Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around, just not as much as I'd like. I will try to check in more often, cuz I do have a little quiet time for about 30 minutes or so when Cayden lays down for a nap and right before the other 3 get home from school!
