No Rest for the Weary






The fun of the busy weekend started Friday night. Caleb had soccer tryouts for next season and Catlin was invited to watch the opening of Shrek, Cassie and I just stayed at home... had a walk, bath, snack, play time with Angelica, and finally bed. Catlin's friend called and said they were almost to our house and asked if we could just open the door so that they wouldn't wake Cassie... (our dog barks alot) so i went to open the front door and this 6 foot donkey greeted me. Our family NEVER wins anything but of course the first time we do, this is what we get. Tom says it's going out for garbage tomorrow Catlin has a different idea, i'm sure it will be hidden (somehow) in her bedroom.


Saturday came pretty early, Caleb had a track meet to start the morning off. He was in the long jump, 100 and 200... i couldn't get very good pictures, i'll just blame it on the camera, i'm sure it wasn't the photographer. I did get some pictures of Cassie and Catlin playing on a big mound of dirt. After the track meet we went to Wendy's for lunch... Cassie wouldn't sit in her chair and just wanted to run all over, so i took her and left to put her down for a nap. She had a short nap because it was time for Caleb's soccer game. I didn't get ANY pictures of that because i left my camera on by mistake and the batteries were dead. After the soccer game my family was going to take me out to eat to this seafood restaurant that we like. I should have know that cassie wouldn't sit still. She screamed when i put her in the high chair so i tried holding her. She bit me on the shoulder so hard i wanted to scream. I tried a big girl chair, she threw her chocolate milk on the floor. (yes she really threw it) Did i mention it was also prom night and the restaurant was filled with teenagers in fancy dresses, yes the chocolate milk splattered all over a girl behind us. Normally i would say something to the person, this time i did not.... i just grabbed my child and left while the rest of my family sat there casually eating their dinner. Cassie had a timeout in the car seat. Tom came out to get me 20 minutes later saying i could go back and eat. Oh YUMMY COLD FOOD for my birthday dinner. I just went in got a box, paid and left. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!! When we got home i hearded 3 kids thru the bath and put cassie to bed.... Tom went to the club to run, it figures
The last picture is of courtney, she went to shipshewanna ( a huge flea market) with her grandma and grandpa.... she got a new hat and crock shoes.... i wish i would have went!
Today is just starting... i sent the family to church without me, later we have soccer and it starts all over again.

Tom is no fun at all! Why would he throw out her Donkey?

Happy Birthday, I was waiting to tell you on your birthday. I guess I will tell you twice! That sucks that you have to do EVERYTHING with and for the kids. I think I would have thrown a fit. Mike knows I would have thrown a fit. I am lucky in that department. He really helps out with Jayke when he is home. He is mad at me today and not speaking to me for sleeping in. Um...did you try to wake me up and tell me you wanted to go somewhere? No. He would rather be mad at me all day. Oh well, I just ignore him and eventually he gets over it. Or not.
Cute pictures of all the kids...even Courtney with her silly pose. That girl is a nut!

Wendy-
I DID throw a big fit and he is also being punished in other areas. He goes to everything of the kids, but somehow always manages to do something else. Like Calebs track meet... they needed timers so of course tom volunteered, at calebs soccer game he had to help coach and at catlins soccer game this morning he also had to fill in coaching... tonight i'm having pizza and i'm eating a large all by myself

I have a friend whose husband does that at all the kids stuff. I don't think Mike will do that. I just hope he will be able to make it to the games with his work schedule.
