Sooo.

I feel like I'm just in running mode, but Arabella made the Diving team. She'll be starting that next Friday. She will go on Fridays and Tuesdays till March for 2.5 hours. This will be in addition to her dancing which she goes on Mondays for 2 hours, Wednesday for an hour, and Saturday for an hour with an Acro class before that. So if you see me snoozing, you'll know why. I'll be busy running her here and there.

My mom also went in for gastric bypass surgery for her diabetes. it was supposed to be an easy thing, but well it didn't turn out that way. I've been running back and forth to help her this past week and I'm hoping she'll be getting up again soon.

And somewhere in between you manage to get a new kit done!

[Marcie]

Yeah I snuck that one in. :)

Awww... Congrats to Arabella...maybe she our next olympian! Sounds like you've got your hands full. Hope your Mom's recovery gets better. You must be running around like a crazy Mom/Daughter... Hugs!

[Marcie]

Thanks Debra. Maybe she will be, but she has a few years to go she's only 8. :)

Yes I am and now I'm tired. I'm off to sit for a few minutes with my daughter then I'm off to bed.

So if we see a whirlwind, we know it's you running around like crazy!

How awesome that your daughter has this opportunity!
Hope your Mom recovers quickly!

Gosh - I remember those days, with both my kids - and I was involved in sports and other things as well. It really makes me wonder how I ever survived! Congrats to your daughter - it's a fabulous way to shape them as responsible and caring individuals - at least that's my opinion. Kudos to her and to Mom too for all you do!

So sorry to hear your mother's surgery didn't go as well as it could have. Sending out a prayer and big hugs to you both.

THanks ladies. Mom's getting better each day. THe kids seem to be helping with that.

I would not have had Arabella in so much, but she wanted to do these things. I figure she's young enough let her try them and then settle down, I hope! She is so excited though. I can hardly keep her still!

Well now my husband pulled his back last night so I've been playing housemaid to him too. All of the sudden I feel like I have 4 children and tomorrow I'll have 5! When do mom's of this many children get a rest? That's all I want to know.

[Darlene Currie]

Well I only had 2 kids Sharon - and it took until their twenties before I felt like I got a break!
