.:time to blog:.

i’ve sat at work and typed out a few blogs over the past couple of weeks but they all end up being journal entries. maybe i’ll start another blog for that very reason.

well, let’s see. let’s start with the babies. lily’s baseball is plugging right along. her participation in this particular baseball league has been a transition for all of us. lil started the season off by crying, feeling left out and not wanting to participate. chloe and ella have had to push even their imaginations to the next level to find things to do while we sit at sister’s baseball for oh, maybe 5 hours. dave and i didn’t agree with lily’s participation from the beginning. it’s a select league that plays more hours in a week than hours of school. the battle of extracurricular activities is one that we lost in the divorce war. not that we don’t want the girls to participate- we just wanted the activities to be agreed upon by both parents and be age appropriate. fast forward to now- lily is enjoying baseball, chloe and ella collectively have about 98765435756487 imaginary friends and games that they play at baseball practices and games. and dave and i support lily in baseball.

chloe is trying out to participate in the elementary school’s talent show tonight. she is going to sing a song from annie. i’ll talk to dave about recording the show so everyone can see it. i think she’ll do absolutely great.

ella is rad. she’s learning and growing leaps and bounds. there has been a sudden push to have her get ready for kindergarten in the past couple months in her mother’s home, as she’ll need to be accepted as an early enrollment with a birthday in october. i’m glad that ella is getting the attention, guidance and lessons that she needs and deserves. i am sad that it’s taken this long for that house to realize that teaching, molding and helping is all a part of life. nevertheless, she’s proud of herself (which is wonderful to see) and we’re so proud of her as well.

dave is doing great. he has put his physical health and fitness to the top of his priority list and i am remarkably proud of him. he’s looking and feeling great. he’s doing projects around the house and outside. our yard has never looked so good! i hope to be pouring a cement slab in the next couple of months for a little patio type thing. i’m very excited about that! with dave’s help it should be amazing.

i started a second job at the beginning of april. it proved to be a bit much for me. i’ve done the hold-down-two-jobs-and-go-to-school-thing before… but this time with a man in my life and children at home- it’s been a bit different. plus my day job is a bit monotonous for me right now and so i’m needing to put in extra effort to make it through the days. i’ve spoken with my boss at the spa to see if i can cut down my hours. we’re still in the process of figuring it out. i’ll keep you posted.

i had a wonderful mother’s day celebrating with my mom and having special treats from my girls a couple days before. they hold such a wonderful place in my heart.

(oldie but goodie- can't wait for this time of year again)
i adore my life.
