I NEED HELP

OMG........ that's all i can say..... I was the lucky one who got to drive Caleb 35 minutes (one way) to soccer practice tonight.... i also was the lucky one who got to have Cassie. Caleb and i were about 30 minutes early (i guess i drive faster than Tom) so we thought we would look around at Barnes and Noble book store. Cassie was really great at the beginning, she was playing with the Thomas Train and looking at books and saying Hi to people. she was acting really cute. Then it was time to leave, i even gave her notice that we would be leaving soon (she is only 2) I took her by the hand when it was time to go and Said "its time to take Caleb to soccer" she made herself stiff and wouldnt get off the floor and kept saying NONONONONONONONONON. So I picked her up and the screaming began.... I'm talking ear piercing screaming... bone chilling screaming.... i really wanted to put my hand over her mouth, but i didn't. Then the kicking and biting (i never had a biter before) I have bite marks on my shoulder and wrist. I pried her mouth from my arm and the scratching began.... i have claw marks on both sides of my neck and on the back of my hand. I had to walk clear thru the store with this enraged monster.
I got her outside... poor Caleb i couldn't even wait for him..... but he heard the screams and new where to go. We got outside and Caleb said..... Well that was interesting.
I look like i was in some sort of cat fight, plus it hurts like HELL......

NO PICTURES..... but i think and early bedtime

BUSY WEEKEND

Caleb's Madison 56'er Soccer team



Caleb is the 4th one top row

Caleb is in the top row, 2nd one in.

Our weekend started with Caleb's soccer tournament on Friday night. They won and then played again on Sat. morning 9am and Catlin had a soccer game at 11:00. I thought we would be done for the day, but Caleb ended up hurting his arm/wrist in the first game and we spent the majority of the afternoon in Urgent care.... no broken bones, just swelling and a sprain. Caleb won his game, Catlin lost her game... Cassie came along to both and cheered for her brother and sister.

Caleb played again Sunday at 12pm and since they won that game they played again at 3pm for the championship. They lost and came in 2nd in the tournament. Cassie handled the day pretty well, she finally crashed on the way home. Tom left after we got home, he plays hockey tonight. I think I'm gonna call it a day like Cassie

No good pictures, i forgot my camera

wow the summer went so fast, I don't think i've been on here once. I'm not very good at it.

Our summer was soooo busy, it started out with Catlin going to a week long hockey camp in northern Wisconsin. Followed by going on a week long vacation with my parents to Northern Wisconsin. Followed by Caleb going to a week long soccer camp in Madison, to Catlin turning 10 and a trip to the dane county fair. Catlin going to Cedar point in Ohio, I know they spent another week with my parents in Indiana at some point. Caleb was also in a summer hockey league, they played 2 days a week thru the summer. Caleb and Catlin spent a week with grandparents in Ontario, then Me Tom and Cassie drove to Ontario. We met Toms dad and the boys went on further North into Canada for a fishing trip. I drove on to Kincardine to Joan's house (toms mom) Me Catlin and Cassie and Joan spent a few days in London, Ontario shopping and going to story book gardens. When the boys came back we spent time in kincardine. We went to the beach (they live along lake Huron) watched the bag pipe band. Oh i forgot my parents and my aunt and uncle also were there for one night. We watched the bag pipe band together.

While we were away out neighbors informed us that Sun prairie had 15" of rain in a 3 day period. Our streets were flooded and many homes had major water damage. we were lucky and just had some water in our unfinished part of the basement. sure glad our neighbors were watching out for us. The last of summer ended with Cassie turning the BIG 2 and a trip to the Milwaukee zoo.

Caleb has already had his first soccer game and he will have his first tournament this weekend, Catlin has her first game tomorrow......... Hockey tryouts start in October, before soccer even ends.......let the games BEGIN

I know this was just a bunch of ramblings, but it's hard for me to think with Cassie pulling me out of the chair every other minute, she's eating cat food and trying to wash dishes and put her own movie in and now she can open doors, so she was very mad when i made her come back in. How did i manage with Caleb and Catlin being 18 months apart? Oh yeh........ I had my MOM close to me!!!!!!!!
