A month..

It has been almost a month since I last wrote anything. I just haven't had time and really nothing to write about, or maybe I just didn't want to engage my brain into thinking that hard. Yea that's it!!! Hehe. Actually, I have been so busy and so much going on that I didn't know where to start. Soccer is about over but we are leaving Friday for Starkville for tournament for 3 days. We haven't gotten the schedule yet but hopefully they will not be playing 8 am games. Those are tough. And we found out on Friday that the girls team will be playing in the Regional tournament in May. So I have to get another hotel room for then. I hope to find a good one with a indoor pool for the kids to play after their games. After that soccer should be over till Fall season. That in itself will cut down a lot on our runnings. Explorers will be the only other thing going on.

I have got to get out with Cody this spring and teach him how to drive. He needs to be able to get his permit soon. He just doesn't listen to well and I'm nervous about teaching him. I have tried to let him drive before just down the street to the house but he doesn't hold it straight. Then will not listen to me about the turn signals he wants to talk over me. Now to be fair to him that's been months ago, so I guess its time to try again. I also worry about teaching him in my V8 SUV. He gives it to much gas and he will panic then I will have a wrecked V8 SUV. I guess I am just not prepared for one of my kids to be old enough to drive.

Easter was a great day!! I drove my mom and my niece with my kids to Hayti, MO to visit some of her family. We had a fantastic lunch and sat around talking about this and that. We saw a lot of the devistation that the tornados that hit the area a couple of weeks ago, did. Lots of metal silo's just crushed like someone just balled up a piece of aluminum foil, twisted metal of all sorts, splintered wood, etc. Scary!!! After we got home, the boys (and girls) all got dressed up to play Airsoft. It was wonderful!!! I got to spend about 2 hours alone, just me and the dogs. It was wonderful to just be alone.

Hehe me too, its been to hectic. I think if we can get past the tournament this weekend and the regional one in 2 weeks I think we will be a bit slower around here. Cody will be going to explorer camp in June and hopefully if I can come up with the money Tori will be going to soccer camp in July. So we will be having some down time and I can spend some time with my youngest.
