I greatly enjoy Cowboy football. I was so excited to hear that Adam got home team escort and the Friday night assignment. Friday nights the team stays at The Atherton at the Student Union and Adam gets there at 5pm and gets home at 1am. This morning he had to be there at 7am and won't be home until midnight. The upside is that we get overtime money and the DOWNside is that the kids and I don't get to see Adam. He also is still doing homework and going to class and mowing yards! He is such a hard worker. I can't wait until he graduates so he can relax and we can spend time together. We will have a normal family life! And I won't be a 'single' mom much longer! A blessing among all this is that I know that he comes home and when I wake up he is there next to me.
Garrett and Madison's Grammy came up last Friday for Grandparent's Day! Grammy doesn't get to come up very often so they really anticipate the times she gets to come. Garrett's school celebrated Grandparent's Day by inviting them to eat lunch with them at school. She bought Garrett a couple of Magic Tree House books and Madison some "shakers". (a.k.a pom-poms)
I love my weekends with my kids, it goes by so fast. It seems like I am always cleaning and not getting to enjoy my time with them. After school everyday I have to clean up from the morning then I have to make dinner and clean up dinner. Then it is time for showers and bedtime routine. And my weekends are used for more thourough cleaning. And there is laundry, unending laundry.
We got up this morning to see Adam on "The Walk". The team and coaches walk from the Student Union to the field every game day. We go to see Adam walk, it is so much fun to see him out there. Everyone is cheering and screaming for the team but the three of us are there just for Adam. We are so very proud of him.
The Primary Presidency was dissolved and I am in Young Women's now. Just when I thought I was stressed to the max I get something that takes more of my precious time with my kids. I have to bring them with me to Wednesday night activities and they don't have dinner until 9pm. We don't have it before because I am cleaning and preparing things as soon as I get home until it is time to go. I know the Lord will help me through this and I know He will bless my children. It is just so hard.
On top of all this stress, my parents have court on Wednesday. I am so worried about my mother and father. I am so envious of my California family, they are everything that I want. Adam and I just have to look forward to making our own extended, happy family. That is something that we anticipate; our own happy family.

Wow, you sure have a lot on your plate. If you ever want to drop the kids off on Wed. evenings my boys would think they've died and gone to heaven.
Yippee for OSU football (and great police escorts)! Adam is such a great guy...and what a upportive wife you are to go and see him. I bet he loves that.
Hang in there. You are doing a great job and are such a good example to everyone. You and Adam are hard workers, so I have no doubt you'll have success and happiness. It just may not happen exactly when you want. And think of all the character you're building. :)
Hey Gal pal! I just want you to know you are such a great mom to Garrett and Madison! They are very lucky kiddos... and your the greatest neighbor ever!
