Busy, busy

I am such a bad blogger! I was really going strong there for a while too! Commitments are really starting up again and my brain is going to try to handle as much as possible without overloading.
Soccer was supposed to start on Monday. But the practice had to be canceled because of the weather. Here is the really interesting part: Brady and Dulcie are on the same team and Michael and I, and Ben and Karen are all coaching! It should be interesting to say the least. The kids now meet three times a week. That is a big commitment to ask of one person. So we thought we could kind of split it up a little. I am really, really nervous about having to coach. I only played soccer for one season. I really enjoyed it, but don't remember a darn thing. (that was 22 years ago). Ay yi yi, what have I gotten myself into? Oh yeah, tumbling and Daisy Scouts have to be added in there too!
PTA duties are also well under way. Tomorrow morning is the Welcome Back breakfast for the teachers. I have to be there at 8am. That means that Brady and Oliver do too. Brady is excited. She cannot wait to go back to school and is counting down the days. Next week I have the Kindergarten kickoff.
Oh yeah, we have another HUGE event next week: Ellen's Wedding! I can't believe it is already here! My stomach is unsettled with the thought of all the responsibilities I have coming up in the next couple of weeks. I need to get our suitcase and get it started. I used to be a pro at packing at the last minute but that was just for me and I haven't flown for work or pleasure in a year.
I did get to go out and have some fun last week Michael and I went to the Ratdog/Allman Bros show. Heather and Gary rode up with us and we had a blast!!! Jenn D and Amanda were already in the lot so we didn't get to park near them. We did get to see a lot of our friends inside. I would post the group picture I have from the parking lot, but my vanity won't allow it. I look too horrendous in it! I didn't even call home once. I didn't even feel guilty for getting out and having fun. (that is very rare for me. I always feel like I am letting someone down by not being home and there to meet every one's needs) So I truly felt like I had a break and got to enjoy myself.



Oliver has been making the funniest face. I refer to it as "squishy face." He squeezes his eyes shut, wrinkles up his nose and shows his teeth in a crazy like smile. It floors me every time he does it! I have been trying to get a picture of him doing it but he gets like a deer in headlights every time I whip the camera out.
