Homecoming

On Saturday Kelsey and her bestie Suddy went to homecoming, it was a long awaited event in these two girls lives. We have spent the last three weeks getting ready, dresses, shoes jewelry. These girls were so excited to be in high school and go to their very first dance, all the excitement got me pretty excited too! Saturday morning Kelsey grandma Amanda came and got the girls and took them to get nails and toes done, they came home and went on a day date to Trafalga, then we got them ready, hair and make up.
We knew that about a week before that Suddys date (my nephew) had found a new girl, he was liking someone else and I was so glad he kept his promise to her to still take her to the dance. While we were taking pics, her parents were being really rude, making rude comments about him and I was very upset, I couldn't believe the things they were saying about him, because he had not ditched out on her and was still taking her to the dance. When my sweet girls got home and I saw mascara streaming down the faces of my precious babies I realized that something had gone so wrong. Kelsey had nothing to say and her boyfriend was doing his best to comfort her. All of a sudden the whole group left our house except Suddy, and the tears started to flow, apparently the whole day she had tried to hold it all in, Steven had not paid any attention to her, not at the date, and not at the dance. He had been texting the other girl the WHOLE time, and the best part was they all had to leave the dance early so he could go get the other girl. He left Suddy at my house went and picked up the other girl and brought her back to my house! WOW! I was heart broken that I had been so upset about the things that Suddys parents had been saying when they were exactly right! He was a jerk!
The rest of the group sat and we talked about it, while Steven and the OTHER girl sat outside int he truck. Willey and Suddy had lots to say but my heart broken baby sat silent for over an hour while we discussed the situation, and everyone knows that is NOT at all like her! She was so torn between her best cousin and her best friend, so sad that her special night had been ruined, and most of all worried about the days yet to come. WHY, WHY, are boys such jerks, why do we make excuses for them, Oh they are boys, or oh teenage drama. I get that they are young, but they will soon be adults and as parents it is our job to teach them now how to act in the future. I really hope that Steven sees these are his three best friends and he owes them an apology, a big one he ruined all of their night!
Oh well, my baby was beautiful and so was Suddy I wish them the best at the next school dance there are many more to come!

Sick of being sick

Ugh, that about sums it up! I have been sick with my normal stuff for about three weeks, my normal stuff consists of extreme fatigue, sick tummy, aches and pains all over including my skin, my skin hurts so bad that even clothes are painful. I have been going through bouts of this for over 10 years and you would think that at some point I would get used to it, but alas I do not. Every time I start to feel this way again it brings up the issue that they told me with the combo of these two diseases I would be lucky to live 10 years, well that was 11 years ago so I am very hopeful that I am too stubborn to allow anything to take me from this world before I have had my fill. When I am feeling this way I know that my struggling immune system is way down, lower than normal, and that I need to do my best to steer clear of anyone with anything, even a sniffle. Well that is easier said than done. Husband caught a head/chest cold and two days later I was lucky enough to have searing, burning pain in my chest. This morning I woke up so full of boogers I was sure I would drown! Now my run down body says its time to stop and my busy life disagrees. UGH!

New school year

So we started school a few weeks ago, and we are trying to get our schedule all worked out, its so crazy to have BIG kids kids in high school and Jr. High... WOW they sure grow up quick! My kids are really busy, Kelsey has to be to drill at 6am Monday, Wednesday, Friday, so I have to run her in the mornings, then Kayden goes to school at 8am, so i turn around and go back to the school, then I work all day. Tony picks Kayden up at 3:30pm, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday he has football, He has to be there at 5pm-7pm,Wednesday are game days for him, this week it its at 8:45, (don't these people know I need to SLEEP!) Kelsey has drill after school on Tuesday and Thursday, and solo practice after school on Wednesday. Fridays are our school football games, and Kelsey dances in them so we have to attend them, my nephew is also playing for our school team this year on both teams so we will try to attend his JV games as well as his Varsity ones (that's where Kelsey dances). We only have 3 home games this whole year so we will miss watching him play!
This year Kelsey got asked to homecoming, which is our first home game, and first time she will preform so I am getting excited, not sure how I feel about the dance, she is kinda young, but I know her Cousin Steven will watch out for her and she knows how to make good choices, so all in all I think she is ready! After all this is what high school is all about right?
Tonight is Kaydens first football game and we are excited, I got an email at 4:30am, this morning saying he needs to wear a shirt and tie to school today for game day... UGH he doesn't even own one! So I headed to Walmart at 6 this morning to go get him one, oh wait I don't know how to even tie a tie... This could be interesting! Well I guess I will call my Sis if I cant get it she can help me for sure!
As soon as these events start to happen I will update with pics to capture all these great moments!
