November 2017

The hubby and I went to the Bruno Mars concert!  It was great!  It was packed in there.  The arena was great and had great energy.  Fun night!

I continue to be bad at blogging on a regular basis.  Heck, I can't even read all my emails and delete them.   In addition, I have 85 unread text messages on my phone at this very minute.  Most of them are texts with coupons or announcing some deals at various stores like Ma.cy's, Old Na.vy, Pay.less, Fam.ous Foot.wear, etc.  I'm much better at reading and replying to texts from friends and my mother!  ;)
 I'm trying hard to keep up with my life and adult responsibilities all while giving the kids a great life.

The days speed by faster and faster.  It is amazing that it is already November.  How?!  Does anyone have any big Thanksgiving plans?   I am going to visit our old town one day over the break to visit a friend who moved out of state but will be there visiting!  I hope it doesn't snow.....living back in this hot desert is making me soft.

My daughter is in Pre-K.  Didn't we just bring her home from the hospital?  This is the last year we will ever have a child in Pre-K!  She is still in swimming lessons and gymnastics.  After complaining about going to dance class for months and months last spring, we took a break this fall.  Now she asks me daily when she can start dance class again.  And tennis lessons.  lol I need to clone myself and I need about 3 more hours in the day.

My oldest will be old enough to get his driver's license next year.  Notice I didn't say he's getting his license next year!  lol.  He has to prove himself to be responsible enough to operate a car.  Right now I have trouble on a daily basis getting him to throw out food wrappers in the trash can and put dirty forks into the sink.  Sigh.... teenagers.

This year we have a child in Pre-K, elementary school, middle school and high school!  We are busy at the baseball field still watching my 3 sons play ball.  Jacob played flag football through the school this fall and loved it.  He is already talking about playing it again next year.  They haven't asked about tackle football- thank goodness because I'm not a fan.  Sorrynotsorry.
The doctor in me is too worried about concussions.  It is time for me to renew my specialty recertification next year, which involves taking a lengthy exam.  I will have to start studying here pretty soon, which means one more thing to add to the crazy schedule.  Sleep?  I guess I can sleep when I'm 80!   Joshua has started taking diving lessons.  He loves it!  That kid is fearless!  He is a natural!  It is so cool to watch him on the diving boards (high dive and regular diving board) and he has only been taking lessons for a month.   My oldest son is doing club and high school fall baseball. The coach has them doing strength training too and it looks like it is paying off.  He is hitting the ball so much harder.  He is also busy doing his sophomore service project thru school...tutoring elementary kids.

Oh well that's all for now.  I must go do more laundry and do the dishes and make lunches and.... the list goes on and on!
