I am so behind.

I am a blogger slacker lately.  I know I am.  I was called out last night (Hi, Elizabeth!) about my lack of posting in the past few weeks. 

Life is crazy right now.  It is great- don't get me wrong! But it is straight up crazy. 

Between teaching preschool and popup and running the boys to soccer and tennis and swim practice and dealing with a puppy and a dog....I am flat out BUSY!

I love doing everything I am doing and I don't want to drop anything-- so I am working hard on finding the balance to manage it all.  I am surviving it so far! ha!

When I say surviving, I mean, everyone is fed 3 meals a day and the boys are clean when they go to bed.  I am staying up with the laundry, so there's that! But, I am not staying up with the blogging.  I will get better.... just gotta find that balance!

A few notes to make:
*Both boys had a quick little sickness- a fever that was quick, but wiped them out.  Andy had his Friday night and Cal got his Monday at school
*I have subbed in Cal's class a few times this year and I am amazed at all he is learning.  He is ready to test out of his  big "skill" (they have a bunch of skills to master this year): saying his full name, street address and phone number.
*Andy still has poop issues....but all of a sudden, he likes going at school.  SERIOUSLY?? The kid refuses to poop in the privacy of our nice bathroom, but likes to go with the door wide open to his classroom? I mean, whatever works, I guess, but seriously, nug?? He has gone 2 times this week at school-- which is more than he does at home. GO FIGURE!
*On the above note, I need to give his teacher an amazing Christmas gift.  Ideas are welcome.
*Despite the above note, Andy seems to be the ladies man in his class. His teacher told me the other day that he sat at a table with 3 girls and another boy during snack and the girls had a serious discussion about which one got to be Andy's girlfriend for the day.  She said he just sat there smiling.  Wait until he sh*ts in the classroom... they will solve that debate!
*No one sleeps through the night here.  Have I ever mentioned that?? None of them.  NONE.
*Eddie's sister's husband (follow that??), Tommy, has just accepted a job here....!!!! We are thrilled they will be moving here!!!! He came out for an interview and it went really well and they offered him the job! YAY YAY YAY! I have also been helping them with the apartment search since they live in California and need someone here to do some leg work for them.  We can NOT wait to have more family close!!!

And I will end with this-- a good little reminder for us each day!
