Waiting for my energy to kick in, that is. It appears it is not going to happen this pregnancy. Maybe 'cause I'm old; or busier this go-around; or that DH works 50 hours a week; but I can't. get. enough. sleep. I drag around here just trying to survive. My house is a wreck, but at least I'm too tired to care, right?
The kids have been playing soccer for three weeks now. Every Saturday morning I have the pleasure of running around trying to find where their clean shirts, shorts, and shinguards disappeared to, and usually Sarah is behind it all. But if you ask her, she just puts her hands up and shrugs, saying, "I dunno, Mom." Then she shouts, "There it is!" when you find it. Cute. Notsomuch.
Maggie finally played today. Every week we would take her, and every week she would cry. She didn't know anyone, so she was too scared to play. This week I enlisted dear Aunt Ro to try and coax her into playing. It worked like a charm. She brought her to the field (I was already there watching Daniel play) and managed to get her close enough to introduce her to all the other kids. She did do some crying, but not nearly what she was doing for us. By the time we walked over to the field she was playing on she was a happy camper and just kept smiling and waving at us. Yeah. Only five more weeks to go.
Daniel plays on the first and second grade team. Last week he "officially" became part of the second grade team. The game is played in four quarters and they put the first graders out together in the first quarter, then the second graders for the second, and switch off and on until the end. I noticed today that there is only one other first grader that gets to play with the second graders, so I was quite impressed. It's amazing how much better he gets each week. I'll be curious to see where this leads one day. He has some cousins that are very good and play on the traveling team. I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to that as some of their games have been as far as Maryland!
Now if they traveled to Florida I wouldn't mind so much ; )
About Me
- Claire
- I am a SAHM to five wonderful children. We homeschool and we live to tell about it. I love to read, go out to eat, and love to shop; all of which I rarely get to do since the birth of our first child in 2000. My favorite food is food and because of this I need to lose weight. I am from a big family and enjoy spending time with my siblings.
