Sometimes I feel like I might be doing an Ok job raising my kids...

So today is Bobbie's 8th Birthday and lately she has been really into softball and baseball and of course the closest team is the Lake Elsinore Storm's (minor league for the San Deigo Padre's) so for her birthday on Sunday we will be heading out to Storm stadium where my oldest daughter will be throwing out the first Pitch...then we have some pretty awesome seats ( thanks to my hubby) and after the game the kids get to run around the bases....now I know I make mistakes and I am not perfect....buuuuutttttttt I think this time I did pretty darn good....Now how am I going to top this next year?....

Rain Drops Keep fallin on my Head...They Keep fallin

I Love this time of year, June Gloom always makes me happy. I don't know why... maybe it's because it cools us off between the Hot spring and the Hot summer...maybe because I have always loved the rain (thanks to my daddy)...what ever the reason I love it...I get more house work done this time of year than anyother time...I get more "to-do" stuff done and i always have more energy...I want to be outside more esspically if it is raining...I LOVE going swimming this time of year...I know I sound crazy but I am just an all round happier person...

I am sitting in my office right now watching the rain beat down on the pool, and I am soooo very tempted to run out there and jump in in all my clothes, but alas I think it may get me in trouble, so at my desk I stay...looking at the rain hitting the pool...I don't know if you can tell it from the picture, but it looks awesome....

Lets catch up...

On Friday we went to a Lake Elsinore Storms Game, with Our Brother-in-law and nephew and some of their friends ( My niece and sister-in-law couldn't make it, because my niece was in a fashion show in San Diego)...we all had a blast, it was some awesome family time..... Then the next day we went to opening day because Bobbie started playing softball this year, she thought it looked like fun when we went to my friend's daughter's game...so we went to her opening day on Saturday...she got to run the bases with her team while they called her name over the PA system...I might be biased, but I think Bobbie might just be the cutest Kid to ever play softball....
Even Krista was wearing the team colors ( they are the Lady Vols, named after some university in Tennessee)

Then on Tuesday the Second Graders sang in a patriotic program at school, it was very moving to hear all the little voices singing all of those songs....for one of the songs there was not a dry eye in the house...it made my heart swell..... My brother-in-law, James (who's 37th or 38th birthday was the next day) had to go play on the swings after the show so of course the kids had to play on them too...then Shanna ( my sister-in-law) didn't want Krista to feel left out so she took her on the swings....Fun Stuff!!!!!

I love my job, but....

I really love my job, I like the hours I don't miss anytime with Bobbie and with Krista all I miss is breakfast and a nap...but I am soooo used to being able to be at Bobbie's school when ever and having time to do chores and errands during the day, that it is really Kickin my butt...Last night while I was at Bobbie's softball practice ( we still don't have schedule's, but alas I will get into that another time) I remembered I still had to plan something and go to the store to get the stuff for my day for Teacher week....I think I did pretty good, I made a poster board that said "Thank you for raisin to the challenge of teaching our kids." ( I put a bunch of Raisins next to that) and it said " We are nuts about the staff at Romona." ( guess what was next to that....yep...NUTS) and it said " You guys are a bunch of smarties." ( you know the smarties candies rolls...yummmm) and the last thing was " You deserve an extra PAY-DAY" ( I personally don't like that kind of candy, but that sounded better than you deserve an extra Butterfinger..LOL...I crack my self up)...So I then went home to my 2 sick kids and my hubby with a migraine and made the poster, did the dishes only to fall in bed and fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and wake up extra early so I could go set it all up this morning....I don't mean to complain, I guess I just needed to vent a little....I want my old life back...I love the extra money, but I miss all the things I used to do....

I should be working...

I have had a "Day", so I am cheating and taking a break from working...

Today is a 5 o'clock day so that makes it a long day to begin with, and to top it off

1. I typed up the paper work for a buy/lease signing and about 5 min. after I got done they called and backed out.

2. One of our residents called and was very rude for more than a half hour about something I had nothing to do with, but as my boss was in a meeting I asked if I could take a message and got a looooonnnnngggggg gripe fest.

3. Another resident moved out, tried to move her neice in and got mad at me when I told her that wasn't allowed and we would have to do a credit check on her neice and that could take up to 15 days.

4. I was comming out of the bathroom and I guess I didn't open the door far enough and it riped off one of my toenails.

Its not even 1 o'clock yet....come one people give me a break...


On the upside,

Bobbie has softball practice today and is really looking foward to it, she should (cross your fingers) get her uniform today, and opening day is Saturday...I hope you all have a great day, as mine seems to be getting better...the bleeding has stoped!!!!
