Last season we joined a great soccer team. We thought it was a good way to introduce Shay to sports. She loved it!! When the coach said he wasn’t coming back in the Fall we had to think of something to keep the team together. The best plan was select one of the dads. Of course they choose my hubby who is the most athletic, but has never coached anything.( I hope it helps him and the team.) I told him he would be great he loves sports and helping kids.

Yesterday was the first game and we won!!!! Not that it counts or anything. There were a few minor glitches like the little girl whose shorts were too big and the parent that brought out orange slices for the team before halftime. LOL oh and I can’t forget how the girls ran past the snacks and drinks that the parent of the week brought straight to the snow cone truck! All in all it was a great day.

I was teaching my first group of third graders at CRE when the news started going around the building. All I could think of was my future Hubby who was in Baltimore preparing for that evenings ball game. They had to ride the bus back to Toronto that evening. Can’t believe it’s been ten years.
There are only a few days I remember clearly. It brings tears to my eyes when I think of all who lost but it gives me hope that we are still here. Still standing stronger than ever. May God bless and protect us all! We will never forget 9-11

Today started like most Wednesdays…busy. I made my runs and stopped for coffee. By the time I got home and settled, the school was calling me saying my daughter was sick. Of course, I rush to the school to pick her up and she looks fine to me. Twenty minutes later she is running around the playground with her old classmates from her old school (brother’s new school) So I think to sum it up we got played by a five year old who probably just ate something bad and needed to take a poop!

It was my normal busy day dropping off at two different schools but today I also had a hair appointment at ten. So I am rushing to make appointment get there a few minutes early and go inside. The receptionist tells me my stylist wasn’t in yet. I waited and waited and after 30 minutes decided to leave. She called but I was over it. Thank God for plan B. One thing that I learned from traveling, you always need a back up stylist. After a quick phone call, two hours later I had fabulous hair!!!!

School has been in session for a week and we already have colds. I cannot stop sneezing. Baby was up all night and I know its only a matter of time the others will have it too. It goes with the territory.

On another note, tomorrow we are going to see some houses to help us decide on a kitchen. I am actually looking forward to designing my dream kitchen and bath! Hope it is a successful outing and this cold doesn’t get in the way.

I am so glad it is Friday! I survived the first week of school. It was definitely a team effort. I could not have done it without my hubby. Thanks Stew!!!

I am watching this Hurricane Irene coverage and all I can think of is Hurricane Andrew in 1992 I cannot believe it has been 19 years. I pray it is not as bad as it was for us.

So we are almost done with the first week of school. Yipee!!! I have been running all week long. My oldest daughter started Kindergarten on Monday. I think I was more nervous than she was. My son entered Pre-K3. I am just happy he is staying dry. This potty training stuff was much harder than I expected. With the two older ones in school that leaves more one on one time with my soon to be nine month old. She is growing too fast. I know she will be walking soon.

This week I decided to get back to doing something daily for myself. I have worked out three days this week and took a long bubble bath. I hope to get my business going again soon. It is more work than I thought with three little ones and no nanny.

I cannot believe how long it has been since my last post. I have to admit three kids under 5 is a huge challenge. Some people make it look so easy. I am still trying to find balance between kids, hubby, and having a little time for me. I wonder how my Grandma had five back to back. I know in a year I will look back and wonder where the time went.

Today was my first jewelry party! I was shocked how many people cancelled at the last minute. In spite of the no shows, the ladies that came loved the jewelry and spent lots of money. I had a great time and I am looking forward to the next trunk show in April.

We had a great weekend. My kids keep me busy and keep me happy. Baby girl is growing so much. I am so blessed to have an amazing husband beautiful kids and supportive family and friends!!!!!

Blessings!!!
