Wow, what a long week this has been. I cannot wait until Friday gets here. Once Friday night arrives, we will have a weekend with absolutely NO plans. This will be the first weekend in, oh, I cannot remember when, that we don't have plans of some sort. Whew! A much needed break. Today arrived with the alarm ringing at 5am in the hopes that I would get up and go to my beach boot camp class. I was so exhausted and knew that I was going to have to leave early to get Xander to day camp (the leaders have to arrive an hour early) so much to my own disappointment, I pressed snooze and went right back to sleep. I missed class on Tuesday also which is why I am even more disappointed that I didn't just get myself out of bed and go. I am trying to work on the self-discipline and get into a new groove but boy is it hard. Tomorrow, tomorrow, I will get up and go!
Hannah and Christian helped me with breakfast this morning. They had oatmeal (or hotmeal as Christian so aptly named it) and I had toast as usual, nothing too eventful. Then Hannah picked up after the dogs in the backyard and I cleaned off the back patio. What an exciting life we lead, :-)! Now, they are napping and I sit to catch up on news and email.
A friend of mine, Susan, has a son, Nathan, who has neuroblastoma stage IV and he is in the end stages of his life. He just celebrated his 7th birthday and I am heartbroken over the pain that the family is going through. I am saying lots of prayers to give them strength to get through this. Please, if you read this, keep them in your prayers.
Well, it is off to the shower to I can wake the kids and continue on with my extremely full afternoon calendar! Talk again soon...
What a busy afternoon. After picking up Xander from camp we headed straight to guitar practice (where he is working on composing his very first song ever) and then went directly to water polo. Practice was good and we are finally starting to get to know many of the other parents on the team. Xander has become good friends with a few of the kids, Daniel, Will, Garrett and Nicklaus and we really enjoy being around their parents as well so it works out great. I am glad he has found a sport that works well for him since he is not an overly athletic kind of kid. He is really not into sports all that much but anything that has to do with the water is right up his alley!
After we returned home, it was time to eat and then out the door again to head down to the neighbors (who are in Sweden mind you) to use their pool while they are gone. It was a nice time hanging out with Debbie, Joe, Christy and Erin sipping wine and watching the kids play. Erin made a point to tell us all that their are 27 kids on this street that regularly come out to play! TWENTY SEVEN.....can you believe that? Oh, and because we are all such winos on the street, we have officially renamed it from Via Mero to Via Merlot! Don't you love it?
Gotta run, good night!
