Craziness

So the past couple of weeks have been crazy. My dad came down for a visit with his friend Louis. The kids had a great time and I keep hoping that he will keep coming down so he can have time with his grandkids. Then my sister, Tawny, came down. That was awesome. I loved seeing her and the kids. We didn't get to spend alot of time together but thats ok cause I believe in quality not quantity. I was very sad to see them leave. Then still having to go to work everyday takes it's toll on you. Trying to be a full-time employee and then a full-time mommy sure does put alot of pressure on you. But I wouldn't change it for anything. Still saving to be able to quit someday. Every time we take money out of our checks and put it into savings I always get excited and giggly. I just can't wait to stay home and be with my family all the time and not have any distractions. The I had to end my friendship with someone who I thought was a very close friend, but she chose not to be. I just couldn't take fighting with her anymore and having her to try and force me to choose between her and other friends of mine. I feel that if your my friend then you will be there no matter what. I tried to be there for her throughout her divorce, I would listen to her, and try to get together with her, but I guess that wasn't good enough for her. Especially cause she would constantly flake on me, but I kept letting it go until 6 weeks ago when I had enough. She had gone off the deep end and I just didn't want to get stuck in her drama, but I will say this once I stopped speaking to her Teddy and I stopped fighting. I quickly realized that she was bringing to much drama and stress into my life. Plus I am to damn old to be putting up with this and there are so many other things is my life that I love and I don't need this trival stuff. There are bigger and more important issues to deal with. And I have learned that life is too short. Today is a gift and tomorrow isn't guaranteed. But I do also believe that you take something from every person in your life and I'm sure that I have taken something from her.

Well onto happier things. Josh came into town on Wednesday night. I'm ecstatic to have him, but I know that he is only here for a short time and that is constantly in the back of my mind. I am trying to fill up so much into such a short time, which is hard but I want to make his visit special. He is finally taller than me. The little 3 year old boy that I met is growing up fast. He is now 14 and changing. Right now he and little Teddy are downstairs playing video games. He is really great with his younger siblings. Lil Teddy and Chas are going to be so upset when he leaves cause they love having their big brother around. It was cute cause when we went to the airport to pick him up, Sabrina was in her stroller and as soon as Josh walked out of the doors she started bouncing up and down. She loves her big protective brother.

So tomorrow is Fathers day and my husband is spending it his favorite way....playing in a hockey tournament. And then he is leaving on Thursday to go to another hockey tournament in Colorado. I am very happy that he loves hockey and has an outlet, but I hate that it takes him away from us. We sometimes go to watch but it's hard with the late games cause the kids get tired and are not the easiest to deal with. But I can't wait for October cause he is going to have a tournament in Las Vegas and we are all going with him. I called my mom to tell her cause I was so excited that I couldn't contain it. And now my parents are coming down there too and it is going to be alot of fun, and my older sister, April, lives there so we all be together. And I will finally get to meet my niece (Sam) and newphew (TJ).

So that is my crazy busy life, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I just wake up every morning and am thankful that I get another day with all the people that I love, those near and far.
