Gosh time fly's! Noah just finished kinder. Dont know where the time went...first grade is just a few months away! (eyes tearing up) Olivia is getting so big too...she runs this place, runs me, runs her brothers! I love her to death though...how could I not?! She is so much like me but X20! lol It's like they say...what you did to your parents your kids will do to you but worse and you will experience the same things they did and find a whole new understanding and appreciation. So this is me saying...yes i now understand and yes so much new found appreciation. Thank you mom...thank you dad :)
Alexis is 5weeks from turning 15! She is heading into 10th grade, playing high school bball, playing travel ball...getting ready to head out for a tourney in Vegas! She's really turning out to be an awesome kid...she always was. She is so much more mature than I was and headed down the right road. Not worried about that girl at all!
Arturo...my ball of energy is stretching! Hieght is all he hopes for :) He will be starting 5th grade this August. He made the all-star team in soccer this past season and the all-star couch picked him up for this fall season. Made his year to get scouted. Im telling you guys...when they got it they got it and the scouting starts young!
Being home is great but a balancing act. I have to make time for me, time for friends ...a social life. I think thats important. So many moms get caught up being home and never take time for themselves for their friends and then they loose thme...loose themselves... thats sad. I dont want to be that person. I love my kidos love my family but I love having adult conversations...staying connected to my world of peers...movies...book clubs...coffee time with the girls...time with the hubby...that is most important. Remembering why we like eachother...when we can get away there are moments when i laugh out loud and look at him and think "haha your funny...i love that about you"! But sometimes we get so busy we forget to make it happen...or I just wanna get away from the house and call up the girls cuz it's easier to get them to wanna hang out cuz their feeling the same way. Anyway...that little rant...just to say home is great, but it's important to who you were before kids. That young heart, young mind...if you lost her find her :)
