What a beautiful day!!!!! Just loved it! I'm definately in the "spring fever" mode... well a lot got accomplished today... I got Blade's clothes already for the spring/summer, packed up his winter clothing and just cleaned all the boys clothing bins today - so that was a GREAT job to get done, needless to say Mitchel GREW alot... so we will need to take him shopping for shorts and spring and summer clothes.
Mitchel had his "health fair" at school today, it was pretty cute, they did a demostration, had posters. He was happy how it turned out. Blade went to daycare today so I got LOTS done this am before it was time to take Jer to the airport. Issac had an ok day at school so he says... Well in the mist of the am... I recieved a call after a follow up email I got late last night... saying that Mitchel was accepted for upcoming "tryouts" this Friday for the Dubuque Soccer Club ~ needless to say I was so excited to hear the news so couldn't wait to tell Mitchel since he was "bugging" me about the "upcoming signup" in May... well turns out that he maybe accepted for a team already :) We will know the TRUE verdict on Friday... PLEASE KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED for him... he wants this REALLY bad!!! He lives and breathes soccer just like his die hard tractor pulling events :)
So afternoon came... time to take Jer to airport, and he needed to get his license renewed beforehand so he went to do that and I ran some errands, then off to lunch and then time to head to airport. I hope life slows down for Jer some... he just seems so "overloaded" lately, like in his own world... I worry about him!!!! He has a HUGE "demo" tomorrow and I know he wants it to go smoothly and he had a lot to do yet... if I could only help him!!!! So off Jer was for a few days, I headed back into CR for a bit, I wanted to check their Old Navy for shorts... sure enough they had my size... I WAS SO EXCITED!!!! since Dubuque didn't have them when I was there earlier in the week. I headed for home, and my phone just kept ringing... first mom, then Mitch, then mom, then Lisa... well I guess it could be worse but I had my mind in a different place and it just kept like it was constantly ringing... So Mitchel went frisbee golfing tonight with Billy... Issac played with Jake at grandma's until I got back, Blade was just so HAPPY and LIVE tonight... wound for sound, just wish sometimes I had his energy... I would get a lot more done in a day:) So after I picked the kids up at mom's, we headed over to Kev and Lisa's... we were going to have supper together at a park so Kevin could get out of the house from studying for a bit... it was a NICE time, Blade and Issac enjoyed being at the park and going by the river... Issac is a TRUE boy as well as Blade, was not scared to go "real" close to the water... and for Issac he just kept picking up dirty stuff and throwing it in the water... it was sick and driving me NUTS... just GROSSO!! After the park, we came home, Blade and I went strolling with Lisa and Vinny for prolly 1/2 hour and Blade was out cold when we got back... I guess he only napped for 20 mins. today... and playing outside catches up to him...
So he slept for a bit and then woke up for about an hour and next thing I know he is on my bed sleeping ... so early night for him for a change.
Wow... do I ever have a teenager in the house... GOSH... tonight after Mitchel got home from frisbee golfing, he did his homework like he was told, then was happy he got his "soccer shoes"... and then wow just snapped... from good mood to being in a mood... he was picking on Issac so I punished him for doing that, then asked him to do a few little things in his room and just got all "mad". I also think his mood maybe conflicts with living here in a small space... but time will tell that.
Sometimes I just doubt my parenting skills... do I do the right thing when he acts up like that? I mean I don't want to be a hard ball but he needs to learn respect and responsiblities, its a part of life... right?
I got a lot done in the last few hours... kitchen, living room, bathroom, our bedroom... dusted and vaccumed... all the laundry put away, floors scrubbed, boys closet is organized for spring :) Just feeling good right now that I got a lot accomplished. I will be up a few more hours finishing things... I like to clean late at night... or WAY early am.
So tomorrow... Blade and I will hang out at home, I will start packing things for Cancun... I think the boys are going to go to the farm for the afternoon so I will go do a few errands, hope the weather is nice again!!!

Until I blog again ~ look for flowers that are blooming, its a pretty site :)
