She did it!

Ali slept over at her bff's on Friday. I was a nervous wreck until she called at 11 to say goodnight. I had hoped that this summer would be her summer. New friends, new hobbies, new phases. In fact when I called her on Saturday to tell her that I needed to pick her up early, she didn't want me too. She ended up staying a few more hours there while Nate went to the doctor (sinus infection).

Other news (that I really can't go into) work stress, family stress. That about sums it up.

I'm trying to find some friends at the sports practices...not just acquaintances. It's hard. Most of these people grew up together or related in some way. I almost feel like the new kid in school and that makes me a little insecure. eh, I'm just babbling.

Basketball, basketball and more basketball

Whew, we finally finished up with the first basketball camp for Ali. She liked it and it was good for her. Her game is improving. We are now in the middle of her second basketball camp this week. The middle school coach came up to us (Ali and I) the first night of camp and asked if Ali would be interested in being one of the managers for the girls' middle school team. This would involve Ali going to practices and doing the workouts right along with the middle school girls. She would also be helping the coach in what ever he needed (water, towels, etc..) So she said she wanted to. I guess it helps that her 2 best friends are also managers. At our school a 6th grader can be a manager but not on the team. (you have to be 7th or 8th grade for that), even though 6th is considered middle school. So she has weight training Mon and Thurs nights from 5:30 to 7pm.

Seth's basketball workouts started tonight. He will be training Tues and Thurs from 4 to 5:30.
So my schedule for this summer right now is:

Monday 5:30 to 7 7 to 9
Seth (football) Ali (basketball)

Tues 4 to 7
Seth (Basketball)

Thurs 4 to 5:30 5:30 to 7 7 to 9
Seth (basketball) Seth (football) Ali (basketball)

Whew, so much for a lazy summer!

I started on my quilt...I got half of the top sewn... I am hoping to have it finished by the end of summer...we'll see. I'll post pics later next week.


Oh, and Ali was invited to her bff's house Friday. Keep your fingers crossed. We are hoping that she will be able to do it this time. I bet she will. She is very excited about it.

Busy, busy busy

We are running around like a chicken with it's head cut off this week. (how's that for a country saying?)
This week we have basketball camp for Ali (monday thru Friday) 8:30 to 2
Ali had her new bff spend the night Monday.
Seth has football weight-training Monday and Thursday's from 5:30 to 7
Next week Ali has another basketball camp (monday thru friday) 5:30 to 9pm

I somehow have to work this week both in the office and the warehouse and I am trying to clean too. I'm not complaining, just letting people know that I may not email or call you right back.

I pray that everyone has peace this week.

God bless!
