It's been a while since I've blogged. Well over a week! Why? Live has been alot busier than normal. Soccer practice is now in affect. So that officially cram packs our weekly schedule.
It goes something like this:
Monday: School for Devan and Dominick from 8-3, It takes an hour to pick both of them up! We usually get home at around 4:15. We do homework and reading for an hour. Soccer practice is 5:30 - 6:30. We get home around 7:00. From 7-8:30 we manage to cram in dinner, baths and daily devotionals.
Tuesday: Same routine minus soccer practice plus cheer practice from 6-7:30 p.m. Steven also has his weekly devotional with the teens that usually lasts about two and a half hours...It's busier than it looks!
Wednesday: No practice. But we have our feed the lambs program. We are lacking volunteers for this so I am left helping three - four weeks out of the month. We usually get to the church building around 4:30. The lambs eat around 6. We have worship at 7. It is over at 8. Were usually "stuck" there until at least 8:30 because people have questions and Steven has answers : ) We are never in bed by 8:30 on Wednesday! We usually get the kiddos settled around 10:30! This is something that we are working on : /
Thursday runs a little smoother. Steven is "off". Big D still has an hour and a half of cheer practice.
Friday is about the same as Thursday but a little better. The older D's still have soccer practice but we don't stress it because we don't have to worry about an 8:30 bedtime.
Saturday, on the other hand is not looking so well. If our schedules are anything like last Saturday then where in for it! We had a 9 a.m. soccer game, an 11 a.m. soccer game, Steven had a project with the youth going on at 4 p.m. and Big D had a game at 5:30. By the time the game was over at around 7 I was officially exhausted!
Sunday? I really don't wanna talk about Sunday. To me, It's the busiest most stressful day of the week. I know it shouldn't be, but it is. Sundays are always the longest days.
The good news is that football season will be over in about a month and our schedule will open up a bit and allow us a little bit of breathing room : )
Now, onto the fun part. I wish the world would've seen my middle d out on the soccer field Saturday morning! I was so worried that he would struggle and just get trampled to death because all of those kids are seriously a foot or two taller than him. We moved him up because Big D had to move up and we are a bit selfish and didn't want to juggle four different practices and four different games. He was literally a rock star and he rocked that field! He took advantage of being little and squeezed in between and around and under all of those big kiddos. I seriously think he's gonna go pro : ) He needs to make his kick a little stronger and he's in there! Big D also did great but I expected her too ; ) They lost both of their games but they learned and I'm sure that they will conquer the field the next time!
Happy week everyone!
