Sorry, it is if I fell off the planet. I didn't, but I have been overwhelmed.
School started, football started and work is hopping. I did end up having to give up my job as a cashier at Wal-Mart to retain my sanity. They wanted more hours and I just couldn't give it.
School started and so far so good. Logan is in third grade, Urith in 7th. Both seem to like their teachers. Logan is doing excellent. Uriah though, we just got his progress report and he is slacking off in turning his homework in. So far he is sporting three failing grades :(
Football started and the 2nd day into football camp, Uriah complained of chest pains and light headedness. He was pulled off the field and unable to play. I was unable to get a decent dated appointment. It took me a month to get him in to see his cardiologist. So for a month he was "equipment manager". Early September he as cleared to play any and all sports. His heart is actually better than it was the year before. One of his murmurs is closed, the other barely noticeable. The valve still will not open fully, but his doctor doesn't see it to be so much a functionality issue as a cosmetic. So, Uriah is realsed and he gets in one full week of practice in. He was scheduled toplay in a game on Saturday...and that Thursday afternoon, he comes home with a swollen hand. Some kids knocked him over in school. Doctos visit and x-ray show that he broke his hand. Again knocked out of playing football. He is helping out with the team....so far. he may not be able to play the rest of the season.
Logan is going full force. He plays center, right end, tackle and special teams.
Go Dukes!
Anyway, just letting you know..... I have not fallen off the planet. Matter of fact, I just celebrated my 36th birthday last week. I was spoiled. Dave took me out to dinner, made sure I had plenty of warm fuzzies...then took me to my parents for cake and ice cream.
Scouts started back up again....I just can't wait...in a month....football will be over and my evening will be back to being mine and maybe it won't take "warm fuzzies" to retain my sanity. I have a bad feeling that, with football being over, will just lead to more hours at the job trying to play "catch up" with everything. It has been an expensive medical summer.....and my car STILL needs fixed. But the money tree died and I haven't found a sapling to grow one.
Seems like...the more I work...the worse the bills get rather than better :(
