(Just not busy enough...)
& sorry, it's a long-en
As most of you know, I NEED TO HAVE A BABY, AND SOON!!!! I have been doing so much walking, exercising, and spicy food eating (and more unmentionable things) to get this darn baby to wanna come out, but she is stubborn and is apparently waiting till the last minute to greet the world. In so many ways, I just wanna get her here so that I can get back on my feet and running with our super busy schedule. But on the other hand, I am trying to find a way that I can have a baby and keep the schedule that I am on now. Here's what it is like for us right now:
Monday & Wednesday:
Wake at 6am: shower, get kids up and breakfast started, get ready, get kids ready, wake Rayce and have him take us to school, all by 8:30am
Get out of class at 11:30 (Rayce picks up Shylee at 11 from Kindergarten). Have lunch, Rayce leaves for school around noonish. ( I usually try and fit a nap in soon after this, at least for a little while). Kids arrive home at 3:45, they have a snack, we get homework done, have another small snack and get ready for sports. By 4:30, I drop of Cayge to Rayce at class (because Cayge has football practice, and I can't get him there, plus it's on campus). Get the girls to Soccer; watch their two games, hurry and run over to Cayge's practice to pick up the boys, then head home, have dinner, shower up the kids, and get them in bed by 8pm. I clean up dinner, then get homework done, and usually in bed by 10ish.
Tuesday & Thursday:
Same mornings as Monday and Wednesday, but the nice thing is I don't have class and I send the kids on the bus, then come back and nap for a little while. Pick up Shylee at 11. By 5 we go to Cayge's football game, then home by 7 and dinner, shower, then bed.
Fridays are a little more laxed, and we do have our weekends.
Rayce works a lot of nights, and we don't get to see him much.
Some days I feel like I run nonstop, but it is 100% worth every second of it. Wrestling starts soon, so we will have practice 3 nights a week and a tournament every Saturday for the next two months. Some call me crazy, others call me brave, I call me a Mom. I want my kids to be active and healthy, so I will do what it takes to keep them in some kind of activity. Days like today when I think about all the things that I have to do in one week, it feels so overwhelming. But as long as I just don't think about it and just keep my schedule, it doesn't feel that bad.
One other thing that is DRIVING ME CRAZY is we still haven't decided on a name for this little girl. I have decided that maybe that is why she refuses to come out. We have a huge list of names, and just can't seem to narrow it down. Hopefully we can get that figured out before she is born.
I promise to post some sports pix soon :)

Candi, that is so cute! You do have a busy life, but you are an amazing mom, I'm so proud of you and Rayce and the job you are doing! Maybe baby Bird wants you to see her before you name her.
