Life in the fast lane...

Macie having 3 baby teeth extracted

Hello friends....it's been several days since I've found time to post...sorry about that...we've just been so darn busy. Let's see... where to begin... the last time I posted Macie was going to have her teeth extractions. She did very well. She was sore of course, but no major complications. This weekend Macie competed in her very first cross country meet. She finished the meet in a time of 16minutes 23 seconds. (a 2 mile course) which was pretty dang good considering that is the first time she has actually run the full two miles since she had tendonitis. She placed 26th out of 50 which is very good. Her coach was extremely pleased. Scott had a football game on Saturday and sadly, the mighty Bucs were handed their first loss of the season. Holley had gymnastics on Sat morning and then went to a slumber party for one of her gym buddies. They had a great time and went ice skating on Sunday. I am very happy to announce that she did not break, strain or sprain anything while ice skating. She did tell me that she spent quite a good bit of time on the ice (literally sitting on the ice, ha!) and that her bottom was pretty sore but no injuries. As for me, I worked all weekend, Fri., Sat. and Sun. So I participated in none of the activities. That is probably the one thing that bothers me the most about being a working mom. I miss not seeing all of the fun things the kids are doing. Luckily, Meme was able to see Scott's game, and their Dad handled everything else. His sister came into town for a friend's wedding in San Antonio, so the kids were excited about getting to see Aunt Brenda. This week, Nana and Grandpa and Great-Granny and Great-Grandpa are coming so they are very excited to see them and they will be gone with their Dad again. As for right now, it is homework time. Scott is at football practice until 730 pm, Macie had cross country this afternoon until 515, and Holley is working on homework. So it is a usual crazy, hectic day around here. I stayed home from work today. The dreaded stomach bug hit around 230am this morning so I called in. I'm feeling much better this afternoon and hopefully will be back to 100% by tomorrow so I can keep up with everything we've got going on on Wednesdays around here. Allie has school (as do the rest of the kids), Holley and Allie have gymnastics, Macie has cross country, I have a hair appt (finally, yeah!!) and poor Scott gets taken along for the ride tomorrow.
