A House with Almost all Boys!

The sound of laughter, the sound of fighting, wrestling, balls being thrown. The sounds of a football game, basketball game, soccer game, Baseball game. A mothers joy at most times. Have you ever awakened at 200am and got out of bed eyes still closed, walk to the bathroom, sit down and ughhhhhhh cold,  sinking feeling, oh man the seat is up. That my friends is living in a house with all boys. The smelly clothes, stinky feet, smell of them from playing outside in the sun.. Again a house with all boys. So do the ups out way the downs. ABSOLUTELY YES!!! So minus the fighting, Toilet seat up, smells, burps, and farts, the hysterical laughing that comes with the burps and farts. Having boys is wonderful. As they get older I am having a tougher time trying to relate. They get into this girl stage and drive me nuts. Or they are so obnoxious and immature. Will we ever get past all this. Yes, I am sure we will but then it will be time for the next. The ups are simple. They are simple. I hated sports all my life, didn’t want to play them, watch them, nothing at all to do with them. Now I cant fathom my life with out them. I never ever want to miss one game. Use to never miss a practice. Now a days I have learned I cant be there every minute even though I want to. The sound of the pads hitting and the football flying……amazing! The sound of the basketball going from side to side and the yelling and the swoooosh of the ball getting in that hoop…..the utter silence of a foul basket being made. Amazing! The sound of the feet kicking the soccer ball…The crowd going crazy, the kids yelling I’m open, pass me the ball, the crack as they use their heads to position that ball just perfectly for them. Amazing! The sound of the baseball cracking against the bat, the cheering, the home runs. Amazing! If I did not have my boys my life would not be complete. I would have missed all of the sports and smells and annoying habits they have on a daily basis. I am complete because I was blessed to have three wonderful boys in my life to teach me about, sports, bugs, dirt, laziness, video games, toilet seats…oh wait I am teaching them that one….DO NOT tolerate that seat being left up!!! I am complete because I have three boys to raise to be the Men I know they all can be. I am complete because even with the downs many more ups come with that!

    You know I so understand nearly every word you wrote...the only thing I cannot relate with (but wish I could) is the "almost a house with all boys". You have your girl, you are a lucky girl indeed. I look forward to the ups and yes, even though downs. They strengthen us and make those ups so precious.

He Swallowed a What??

Image
Not sure where to begin. Alright it is noon and Courtney is getting ready to take a nap and Cameron had just got in trouble so he needed to go to my room and take a rest. Court just went to bed and Cam is in my room. I sit down at the dining room table to finish some paperwork. All the sudden Cameron comes running down the hall screaming holding his throat, “I swallowed it, I swallowed it.” I said “Cameron what did you swallow?” Cameron, “ I don’t know it was silver metal, I don’t know what it is?” I am at this point going what on earth now. I can not fathom so we keep talking he gets a drink of water and coughs and says I really did I swallowed it. At this point the older boys know what he swallowed. So when we all came to the conclusion, we did in fact decide it was a battery. I try to call his doctors office but they had just left for lunch. I called poison control not sure what prompted that as I have never called them ever. The lady was wonderful on the phone and told me that if i...

I Have Missed.......

Well today was a good day. It was oh so HOT……I love it….okay well I love it as long as I can come in the house and cool off from time to time. Spent most of the day outside doing absolutely nothing except being kissed by the beautiful SUN!! My niece came over with my Great Nephew (thanks!) and we had a wonderful visit….Have I mentioned how precious he is? Cameron went to his first night at Mega Sports VBS and that was exciting for him. Tyler is camping at Dash Point with a friend. As for me and Courtney we went to Preston to go to the kids bounce place for a birthday party for Tucker. So while I was there I got to see the all the little ones I watch during the school year. Believe it or not I have missed that so much. As hard as it is to devote a day to kids all day with in reality no break can be difficult at times. Some days I was absolutely exhausted and some days I felt great. Some days were filled with happiness all day and some days I was so stressed I wanted to be done. No matte...

Safe Travel......To and From!

Travels……..So much to say and don’t know where to begin. Started my venture and decided 10 min. into the ride I was tired. I really dislike when that happens. I prayed immediately for safe travels……Thank you for those that took the time out to pray!! Travels were safe. Loud music and window down….dancing…..just to stay awake and make the run smooth. Let me first off start with I got some gas. Then I get into Puyallup and coffee is calling my name but decided hey I can wait. So what do you know……Starbucks on every corner and I wait to find the next one and NOTHING……….Keep driving, NOTHING…….Heavens to Pete I think by now I am going to die. So I am driving staying very content with the driver in front of me. A truck pulls out in front of him and he had no choice but to pass at that moment. So I got stuck behind this truck that is driving 35-40 in a 55 I finally get in a safe place to pass so I do. Of course he speeds up…..but its all good……I may like to drive fast but I do not like to pa...
