happenings...

so there has been a lot happening in my (our) lives right now. a lot of it isn't great. things have been pretty damn rough since december. lots of changes. nobody likes change. well, not nobody i guess. but its hard to accept changes that you don't want and don't have control over. and i try REALLY REALLY hard not to have a pity party all the time, although i do have my moments of why me? and poor me. but those aren't helpful or productive, and i really don't have any spare time for self-pity. but there have been good things too. the boy got accepted to little mama's school for pre-k. so he will be back at school with his big sis! and they are both playing baseball. the boy is on a tball team, and little mama is playing coach pitch. the both LOVE it. and while i am sure poor sweetpea feels like she spends her whole life at the ball fields (two practices and two games a week....four nights/days total!), she loves watching and can't wait to play baseball either! and we are gearing up for summer. only 35 more school days....and just five more mondays! (of course, i don't count memorial day, so it seems shorter, but anything at this point will help!) the big kids will not be in any kind of summer program this year, since we don't need "spots" for either of them in the fall at the daycare. so just sweetpea will go. (we do still need her spot) actually, i will pay, and sweetpea will probably go a couple days a week. but that will work out well, since that means sweetpea can go and have fun at school (and she really does, her friends are great, and her teachers are WONDERDFUL!) and i can take little mama and the boy to do "big kids stuff" like roller skating or movies. and i am getting BRAVE. (or crazy) i am taking the kids to colorado in june. we plan to visit cousins, my brother, and my BFF from college! yea! more about our summer soon. and hopefully, less pity party time!
