bittersweet

Tonight was my last practice with my 4th and 3rd grade boys basketball. It was alot of fun we had the boys play against their Dads. The problem is Jordon's dad has never been there, the solution... My cousin Craig stepped in. What a job he did. I am not sure who had more fun the boys or their dads. I know it is something they will never forget. Really hit home this is what we were doing. Giving these boys positive memories. Something they will take with them even when they get older.

I will miss these boys more than I thought possible. Each one taught me something and each one is something special. Going through my list...

Alex... quite and reserve but once you get him going he doesnt stop and once he smiles he just melts your heart.

Brennon... my comedian always there to make me smile even when it was a joke on me.

Kevin...my challenge...always truthfull in he feelings even when they werent good. and stronger emotionally than anyother child his age should be. Kevin I will NEVER forget from hunting deers to always wanting to play more, and never backing down!

Danny... my bundle of energy they say good things come in small packages this boy is nothing but dynamite and always on the go. He never let his size hold him back and was our biggest scorer!!!

Zach...my sweetheart...always kind always sweet and always willing to be to do what is told.

Dylan... you can see the spirit of the Lord in this child..just one that is still so innocent and excited about every experience and ALWAYS had a smile.

Carter... The muscle strong and independent already he will go very far in life.

Tyler... my mature one... This boy has a talent for basketball I can see one day watching him in college but was never once arrogent and always played as a team with every member of his team!

Jordon... what can a parent say about their child when they are coaching them. I expected more out of him than the rest. The funny thing was when I didnt say anything he improved more than anyone on the team.

I am proud of my boys and will never forget the season. They have done wonderful so far being undefeated YET never once did they brag or celebrate after the game. It wasnt my doing it was the simple fact that the boy were just good as a team. Each one brought something different and I have been very blessed to be a part of the program. Will I do it again. UHHMMMM not for sure about that one. But I am proud of them and what they taught me. I could do something that I wasnt wanting to do but what God told me I needed to do!

yucky stuff

So I got this cold. It makes me sound like a two year old when I am talking. Kinda funny stuff. So I really havent done much of anything other than sleep. The one thing I did do was go to Jordon's game. Only one more left, other than that didn't do anything. So I missed church this morning, play practice and quizzing. All I have done is sleep all weekend. So talk about a short short post. I am going to head off to bed after taking some cold meds. Monday start another week, but that is okay I am ready for it, and actually kinda glad to have it be normal.

yep it is monday...

This will definately not be a long post, Mondays are hetic for me. It is the start of the week planning everything for the rest of the week. See, there is my problem I am a planner. I have a plan for everything I do. Even my bills are planned out for the next six months. LAUGHS...now I know why my son's video game collection is in aphalbetical order. He gets it from me! HEH! Just know alot goes on during the week. So going to head to bed early tonight to hopefully have enough energy to get through the rest of the week.

Only two more weeks of upwards left, I'm kinda happy but also kinda sad. What can I say it has been alot more fun than I thought it would be. In two more weeks I can say I have made it through the season... ALIVE! Then only about four more months and football starts. I have already decided not to do the team mom thing again. I really dont have the energy or the time to do so this year, and since I said this wasnt going to be a long post it is of to bed for me.

Yea it is that day

Okay so it is February 14th...the day every single person HATES!!! Well thanks to my little cousin, (okay I shouldnt have called her my little cousin) anyways, she wished many a happy singles awareness day. It is so true! Of all days, One that is not in a relationship is constantly reminded of their "statis", but I take it with a great sense of humor. I am looking for the perfect man, but since they hung him on the cross I guess I am going to be single for awhile. :D No really I am happy in my situation right now. I find it a blessing, for the simple fact. I am growing in the Lord. THAT makes any bout with loneliness worth it, and those are really few and far between. I have the biggest Valentine of all. Jesus! need i say more!

Okay as far as the day...

Jordon monster had his quiz meet today. He actually did pretty well. This is always the hardest meet of the year and He did pretty good. Not as good as he wanted to but He did really good. I love my boy and he does make me proud, except when he gets mouthy or pouty. Normally he is a really good kid. Anyways, the whole quizzing team red level and blue level did an excellent job!

Then went to a family dinner which was nice seen many of my family that I havent seen for years.

After that spent times with some of the teens at church helping with thier flower sale. We had alot of fun actually was really proud of them! They got them done quickly. So now it is off to bed for me, and maybe a good movie...

just a day

Today is just a day. Just a day to work, do homework the son, study for quizzing...was kinda nice to just come home today. There is still alot of studing to do this week for the meet on Saturday. Funny when Jordon brings me the book, mom i really want to study or can we do another lesson. Kinda scares me. (NOT REALLY)

Work is intersting, we have new/old supervisor. She has been a long standing employee and I have always looked to her for answers, and I really respect her. Yea i would have loved to got the position but it wasnt for me to have at this time. God knows that I am to busy to give the position the attention it deserves. I like leaving and knowing my job is done for the day. But i am really tired tonight I am going to head to bed, and be ready for another day tomorrow.

that crazy state of mind

Okay, I offered to work some extra hours this week, causing myself not to have a day off in two and a half weeks. Why? I am still figuring that one out. Yea the extra money is nice but now I am sleepy. I am counting down to the next day off. Life right now is a bit busy. Basketball games, quizzing and the normal church services. But eh if I wasnt busy I would be complaining or rather just not really doing much at all. So I am trying to enjoy the times. Our next quiz meet is comming up quickly. So Jordon and I are doing some extra studing. He wants to do so well. I know what his goal is, but I want him to know I am proud of him no matter what.

Quizzing is such a good program. I have learned more doing it than if I was trying to study on my own. Anyways back to the grind stone of work. Hopefully I will get a day off soon. I want to sleep.

Winterjam

I wish I had a video camera last night, to video tape Jordon. The concert was so much fun. When Toby Mac came on he jumped up and jumped the whole entire time singing along. I think Toby Mac has a fan for life! It was Jordon's first concert and what a concert to go to. Worshiping and praising the Lord. I was so excited for him. I hope He keeps his faith because it is such a strong one. We went with my sister and her boys. I think they are really glad they went to. I think Toby made a fan of my older nephew too. It was awesome.

Barlowgirls were good as well. but I do think my favorite was the guest speaker. It was just an amazing experience. I was glad to see some of the teens from our youth there. I was told that I needed to try Summerfest, guess that will be our next jaunt if it isnt the same time as the world quiz!
