Last night was Alex's Senior Prom.  It was held at the Easton Club which is a beautiful location right on the water.  Everyone looked amazing.  Afterwards, the kids went to the after prom party that was held at SSPP's gym.  The theme was Arabian Nights and from what I hear, the decorating was amazing.  The kids had a blast and were picked up at 3am and taken back to Amy's house which helped me

Today was our 6 month checkup at the dentist.  It was complicated by the fact that our big van is having problems and we had to take it to the shop this morning.  This meant that the older boys were relegated to the bus so that we could have the 2 remaining vehicles to take us the the appt.  Our mini van  does not fit the 8 people that needed to make the trip this morning. Everyone did great at

I didn't consciously put a t-shirt with this wording on it... to prompt conversation. But that's exactly what happened. I was waiting for my daughter to get out of dance class, when a very nice gentleman that was doing that same thing, asked me where I had gotten my shirt.  It was a shirt I had bought last summer when I chaperoned for my oldest sons mission team trip to Mingo County, West

Wow!  How did it get to be May already.  You blink and 1/3 of the year is already gone.  That just can't be. Kind of a blecky, dreary Saturday here.  Some of the kids did archery after mass today.  Bekah did really well for only being 6.  Connor headed to mini golf, Alex to work.  Rest of the kiddos hung out until time to go to youth group.  This was Tay and Ty's first time.  I'm gathering by

I really like the days that I'm able to work from, but probably not for the reason you may think.  It has nothing to do with not having to get up early...or even not having to fight the traffic.  It does have everything to do with these... I love homemade waffles and I tend to eat them each morning that I am home.  We make up a big batch of waffle batter, or "juice" as the little ones like to

I'm not sure what is up with the weather lately but it sure hasn't been typical spring time weather around here.  Downright cold, lots of rain...our yard is so soggy it's like walking in a marsh...and numerous storms.  There were tornado warnings posted all around the area today.  I was on a conference call this morning when a lady on the phone caused us all to jump out of our seats when she

Keari, Adam and I headed out for a walk at lunch.  It looked like it was going to rain any minute but it didn't.  I wouldn't have minded because it was really warm although there was a nice breeze along the water.  It's amazing how much the little ones talk.  They chatter about anything and everything.  Quite entertaining what pops into their.  Adam was quite unhappy that there were no boats to

Yes, much to my co-workers surprise, I actually made an appearance at the office today.  Due to various circumstances, I hadn't been there in a week.  I was not at all happy to get up at 5am but I was glad when 3:30pm rolled around because I shut my computer off and walked out the door.  When I work from home I have a hard time walking away in the afternoon because I always feel like there is one

We had a lovely day yesterday.  We were up bright and early for 7am mass because 3 of the kids were scheduled to serve.  It was actually very nice  The early mass is about the only one that we can all go to and know that the little ones can make it thru without too much trouble.  There is no singing, it's usually a small number of people and even for Easter Sunday the crowd was pretty light.

Andy and Tyler offered our neighbor some help in cutting up a tree he had taken down the day before.  Big jobs aren't quite so big when others are there to help you.  Something I should remember....He is always there to help us if we will only ask Him.

It was time to dye eggs today, so Andy and the kids pulled out the 3 dozen eggs that he'd boiled this morning.  We've been saving up eggs for awhile, plus the chickens have been cooperating nicely by laying a ton right now.  I think the little one had a fun time with the dyeing.   Tay brought this beautiful lunar moth in so I could see it.  We're pretty sure it's a female based on it's

I told Ty after he'd gotten his stripe yesterday that he could make brownies to celebrate.  We didn't end up making them last night cause everyone decided to watch a movie.  Although I think they would have been better off making the brownies.  From what I hear, the movie wasn't very good.  I wouldn't know...I went to bed.  ;) So after church tonight, Ty asked if he could make his brownies.

Ty had one more stripe to go before he could move to the next belt when he went to class tonight and for once he was actually willing to ask if he could test.  He sometimes gets in moods where even though he knows the material, he refuses to ask if he can test for it.  Tonight was different.  And they were more than willing to honor his request by throwing the best of the class at him.  He ended

Nothing like walking in to work bright and early on a Monday and within a 1/2 hr of being there already have your blood pressure going thru the roof.  I can't begin to tell you how tired I am of people not doing their jobs.  Or actually, maybe I can because I think I've been doing that quite a lot lately.  It seems to be an on going theme.  Which is not a good thing because this is one theme I

It seems like no matter how often I talk to the kids, everytime I walk into their rooms I find there dressers like this... And it's not like there are too many clothes for their drawers even though it does look like the clothes are trying to escape.  Please tell me that others out there have the same problem...and what do you do about it? I've been in a seriously cranky mood today.  Earlier

I totally forgot to wish Connor Happy Birthday before he left for school this morning.  How could a loving, caring mom do that to her just turned 15 year old boy??  I had thought about it early in the morning but by the time the boys got up, it had totally slipped my mind.  By the time it registered in my brain again he was already in school and I couldn't call him.  But to make matters worse, I

Sometimes I really wish I could just quit my job.  Too bad I'm the one bringing home the paycheck.  My quitting would have an adverse effect on that.  But days like today just pluck my last nerve.  I'm sick of dealing with people that are incompetent and I'm sick of my bosses not doing anything about it.  I'm tired of being the one having to constantly come up with workarounds and having things

Today started off bright an early at 7am and is just now winding down. Kenzie, Tyler and I headed to Laurel this morning to watch her softball team play in a tournament.  Even though she can't play, she wanted to be there to support her team.  I was a little worried that she'd be depressed sitting on the bench watching the other girls play but she seemed to handle it well and everyone seemed

Today did not turn out how it was supposed to.  Kenzie and I were scheduled to go to Laurel for a softball tournament.  Even though she can't play, she wants to be there to support her team.  Alex/Connor had a baseball game in Easton.  Unfortunately the rain yesterday and overnight changed those plans.  No softball or baseball today.  Sooo, we got to clean the house instead.  ;)  And this kids

That's how long I was in a vehicle yesterday.  Thankfully it was not a continuous 7 hours but that's a heck of a lot of time to be driving around.  And I didn't really go too far from home.  We had a department meeting at our Washington, DC office so I drove to our Baltimore office in the morning (1 hr).  Caught a bus with the rest of the folks to DC (2 hrs due to traffic).  Spent 4 hours at the

Good news is that it looks like we finally have an answer to what's been causing Kenzie to be in pain since her soccer injury in October.  She was seen by a University of Maryland dr today and he said that the pain she is having is almost always is associated with a knee cap injury.  He did a bunch of different tests on her and they all pointed back to the same diagnosis.  So yay, we finally know

Alex is getting closer and closer to graduation and tonight his school hosted a Parent Appreciation Reception for the seniors and their parents.  It's the first of a number of activities that will be happening between now and May 26th.  It was a night set aside for the kids to say "Thanks Mom!  Thanks Dad!  Thanks for putting up with us thru the years.  Thanks for always being there for us.  etc.

Our church does a lot of services for Our Haven Shelter, a temporary winter shelter for the homeless in our county.  On the first Tuesday of every month, the Hardee's in our area donates 20% of the cost of all meals purchased to the shelter.  Tonight, our youth group helped out at Hardee's serving dinners to people that made purchases.  Kenzie is part of the youth group so she volunteered her

This child continually makes me laugh at the silly things he does throughout the day.  Over the weekend, he was sitting in his chair while I was clean up from lunch.  I can hear him making funny noises but that's just Adam, so not really paying much attention.  I look over to find that he's suctioned cupped his cup to his face.  You know...stick the cup over your mouth and suck all the air out so

Saturday was D day for 3rd quarter report cards.  The results are in and after all the hard work for the semester Alex ended the quarter with 5 A's and 2 C's.  I'm a little disappointed in the C's because he actually had them both at B's a few weeks ago but things could have been a lot worse.  I'm thankful that they were high C's at least so no worries about D's this quarter....yes, we have been

I thought March was supposed to me the month that started off rough and end easy. So far, April has been far more interesting. Snow on the first day in some areas of the state, and today started off just plain ugly...dark, dreary, rainy. Afternoon brought loud rumbles of thunder, pouring rain and hail. Wonder what will be in store for us tomorrow. Alex still isn't feeling well and now Connor

First it was Adam...then Keari...and now Alex. This bug is slowly but surely making it's way thru the family. Unfortunately it's not a quick bug so I think we are going to be feeling the effects of it for some time now. Thank goodness it's Friday. I'm ready to not worry about work for a couple of days. Now if I could only learn to let it go during the week, I would be in much better shape.

Nothing exciting with the appts today. Tay needed new glasses, my change was minimal so could have gotten away without and update but I haven't gotten new glasses in probably 5 yrs so figured it was time. Ty had a slight change but since he absolutely refuses to wear his glasses, I wasn't about to get him a new pair. On the way home, we stopped so I could get my hair cut. Then I worked more

Keari is still feeling poorly today. I should have know just how poorly when she turned down the offer of a couple of M&M's. Or course, right after I offered them, she proceeded to get sick so guess she knew something that I didn't. ;) Today was calm compared to yesterday. Only had to worry about getting Connor to piano practice tonight. I usually spend the hour reading but tried to finish

Poor Keari was up last night with some kind of stomach bug. She seems to be doing better today although she is still complaining about her tummy hurting her. She also complaining about her knees hurting her. Can't see how those two things are related but I have no idea what could be causing her knees to hurt. I'm getting vision of last summer and so don't want to go there. My neck/shoulder

It was a weekend filled with running up and down the sidelines of soccer fields...for Connor and McKenzie. They ref'd a total of 17 games between them. Yesterday was really windy as a cold front was moving in and today started with a little snow flurries but, all in all, it was a pretty nice weekend to be on the soccer field. I think Kenzie is finally over her bronchitis, although her ears are

After I've been buried alive for weeks on end due to work, I surface to find that my oldest daughter has bronchitis. The same day she gets seen by the dr for that, her younger sister and youngest brother both start running fevers that same night. Bekah was actually a good sick person...she basically just rolled over and went back to sleep after I checked her. Adam, on the other hand, was a

The first birthday of the year belongs to Kenzie. With it brings us another teenager...the third one in our house. Yikes! I think she had a pretty good day although her main birthday gift, a horseback riding trip, had to be deferred until her knee is feeling better. Happy Birthday, sweetie...hope the year brings you many wonderful things.

The good news on the MRI is that it showed that Kenzie's stress fracture has healed. The bad news is that she is still having a significant amount of pain. The dr is somewhat perplexed and is sending us to get another opinion as his thinking now is lyme disease or growing pains. Hmm, not sure I'm going with either one of those. Based on symptoms and location, my sister thinks it's a meniscus

Kenzie had her 3rd mri today in as many months. Here's hoping that this one shows some improvement when we talk to her dr on Monday, otherwise it will mean a bone stimulator machine and more months of recovery. She's getting a little ansy with being on crutches for this long.Bekah had a nice speech class until the very end when she was coming back to meet me. Apparently, the water fountain in

Usually Mondays are our worst day regarding shuttling kids around to different activites but tonight turned out to be worse. There was a mission team meeting at school tonight which meant after working all day, I had to run home, take Ty to karate class, then run down to school for the meeting (after stopping to pick up paper cups so the kids actually had something to drink out of this meeting),

It's only been one day back to work and already I've had my first massive headache. That sure didn't take long and I'm not quite sure why I am surprised that I got one...it's not like all the problems would have gone away over the holidays. Guess I was trying to be optimistic there and think that someone else might have actually handled them instead of leaving me to do everything...but alas, it

which is exactly how I wanted it. Had a nice relaxing day prior to heading back into the craziness of the office tomorrow. Went to church, got hair cuts for Connor and myself, did some laundry, played a rousing game of wii pictionary...who knew the kids could be so cut-throat. It was fun and some of the pictures were pretty hilarious. And now it's time to think about heading to bed since

I hope everyone has an awesome year!Ours could have started out a little better. Both Kenzie and Alex are sick with some kind of bug. Hope it doesn't last long or go through the entire household. I spent the day trying to straighten up the house. We did a bit of rearranging over the holidays and are now trying to clean up the clutter that seems to come out of that task. I plan on doing

And for once, I'm okay with that. Today was Keari's follow up appt with her pediatrician which I was anxious for. We talked about how 60% of lyme cases never see a tick or have a rash. He was pleased with her range of motion in her knees...she has full range so should not have any after affects from the Lyme Arthritis. He emphasized us keeping an eye out for the pain returning, complaints from

It amazes me how fast circumstances in your life can change. It's been crazy busy here since school started a couple of weeks ago. I was looking forward to the long weekend for Labor Day. I was heading to my aunt's house to spend the day with some of the kids while Andy stayed home with Alex & Connor who both had to work. It was a beautiful day for a get together...hung out with Sherri and

Today was Connor's first day of high school. Amazing that he is already at that stage in his life. He seemed to enjoy his first day...talked to a few of the kids that he had met during soccer practices the last couple of days. Today and tomorrow are half days...I think they are trying to ease the freshman into high school life. He was only annoyed with one teacher today because they got homework

It always amazes me how young children can be and still know the routine. We almost always hang our clothes on the line to dry but it's been raining all day so we had to throw a couple loads in the dryer. Adam loves to help with clothes so he was watching as I removed the clothes from the dryer. He then grabbed one side of the basket while I grabbed the other. He then attempted to carry the

Today ended up being a complete wash out for everything we had planned. Kenzie wanted to have a picnic at Ferry Point...she even made brownies for it last night...but it's been raining since sometime during the night, so no picnic. We'll have to try for Friday but the brownies will be long gone by then. ;)Connor was supposed to have tryouts tonight for the hish school soccer team but that

I'm thinking as I looked at the clock at 3am this morning that I've been here before...and pretty recently. Only this time it was a little girl that was having trouble sleeping instead of the boy. Keari made her way downstairs to our room in the wee hours of the morning saying she was scared. Usually she climbs into her big sisters bed when she gets scared but Kenzie had a friend over last

I woke up at 3am to Adam crying ouch, ouch, ouch. Not really what you want to hear that early in the morning. I debated whether to check on him or not...he gets disturbed really easily by the opening of his door...so if there was nothing wrong, then I'd end up waking up by checking on him...and if there was something wrong...well, I opted to check on him as I was afraid he'd gotten his leg

I can't remember the last time the house has been this quiet in the middle of the day. Adam and Keari are both taking naps, Connor and Bekah are outside playing soccer in the rain, Alex has been playing computer but is now getting read to go to work...and everyone else has gone to my parents house. It's nice to have some down time and what better time for that than on a rainy Sunday.While it was

The day started with soccer practice for Bekah. More of her teammates showed up for this practice so it was better than last weeks. And what a gorgeous morning for practice...nicet temp and no humidity. Afterwards, we came home to eat lunch although I got distracted by all the mess on the floor which set me off. Ever have one of those days where just the littlest thing can send you over the edge?

The county fair has been going on all week. The older kids made a trip to it on Wednesday and got into who knows what trouble as they left in the morning and didn't return until dinner time. Connor went to visit a friend this afternoon who lives in the direction of the fair so when we went to pick him up we figured it was as good a time as any to stop by. I enjoyed looking at all the homemade

That's what it was raining this morning. I knew I was going to be in trouble getting to work this morning as I was listening to the tv while getting dressed. They were talking about massive thunderstorms coming thru the area with large downpours and tons of lightening strikes. I hurried up and ran out the door hoping that maybe I would get lucky and at least most of the way to work before it hit.

Today was actually a pretty boring day. The older kids spent the day at the fair, Ty had karate and everybody else just kind of hung out. It was sooo hot today...Andy and I took a walk with Adam and Keari tonight and there wasn't a breeze to be found anywhere and the air was stifling. I thought I heard that things might cool off a little starting tomorrow...that would be wonderful.

I was late leaving work today due to a conference call that ran very late and where one person was being totally unreasonable regarding the request that was being made. Everybody else was willing to make compromises except this one person. As annoyed as I was when I finally was able to leave, I was counting my blessings a few minutes later. I got caught in a backup on the beltway which I

Today was a very unproductive today where I actually thought I was making headway but in reality didn't make any progress at all. I'm hoping that they are able to fix all the issues by tomorrow so that I actually have some work to do...I hate driving all that way and then not be able to do anything. Well, there is stuff I can do but the important stuff that have a deadline of Weds and Fri, I'm

That's how I spent the majority of today...a task I hate but has to be done every now and then. The day started with Andy and Ty going to 7am mass...the rest of us followed at 9. Kenzie and Connor sang with the choir, that was a nice surprise as I didn't know they were planning on doing that. When we got home, I figured it was time to tackle Adam's drawers...I figured after weeks of trying to

That's how I thought today was going to be. I didn't think we had anything planned for today so thought it would be a pretty laid back, lazy kind of day which for the most part it was. It turns out that Bekah had her first soccer practice of the year this morning. Since it was a beautiful morning, not sweltering likes it's been most morning, we all decided to go to the field to hang out while she

Hard to believe we've been married for 21yrs. A lot has happened over those 21 yrs, good times and bad. Thankfully the good times have outweighed the bad. This is my favorite picture from our wedding day. Who would have ever thought back then that we'd be sitting here with 8 munchkins. Luv ya, sweetie!

Andy and the kids took a trip a tad south of us to visit Horn Point and the Salisbury Zoo. Andy interned at Horn Point one summer while in college and loved it. I ended up baby sitting his fish that summer. ;) From what I understand, Tyler seemed to have the most fun...has Andy thinking Ty might decide to follow in his footsteps. Connor was disgusted by a conversation of how oysters reproduce.

Whew, finally time to take a breath. This has definitely been a crazy week. After getting back from the beach last week, I spent Monday and Tuesday in full day training at work, then Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday driving back and forth to Virginia to watch Kenzie play in a softball tournament and Friday I did a full day of work and then watched Tyler test for his orange belt. The drive to the

The first day back to work is never easy but I guess today could have been harder. I was in training from 11 - 4 today so really only had to work for a few hours this morning. I'm in training again tomorrow, then off for two days, then work from home on Friday. Guess I'm kind of easing myself back into the work world. LOLI could have done without the traffic on the way home. I was already

Tyler has been taking a karate camp this week, and has been taking actual classes for a couple of weeks now. Through the camp, he was able to earn 4 stripes on his white belt. He has one more to go before he can move up to the next level. I'm very proud of him, he really seems to have a knack for this, which is good cause I told Andy that he wasn't allowed in the house today after camp if he

As of 3:30pm today, I am officially off work until Monday 7/26. Ten wonderful days of not having to hear...that data is wrong, can you get this for me, when can you have this done, can you check that out, can you tell me why, etc. Ah, bliss! Can you tell that I'm really not in a good work frame of mind right now. I don't have a lot of patience for the requests coming in and I'm really tired

I was working this morning when Kenzie comes running into the room (Weds & Fri's are my work from home today) talking about the fish and frogs going crazy in our pond. When she went to investigate what the problem was, she found out that a brown snake was swimming around in the pond. While she watched the snake slithered out under our pool deck. Nice! NOT!Was a nice day with all the rain

Almost all the kiddos are out of the house right now...how often does that happen? Tonight is Kenzie's softball practice and 5 of the 8 kids went with Andy to the practice. The 6th is at work... so that just leaves 2 in the house with me. I've been enjoying a nice quiet evening playing with Adam...Connor will pop in every now and then. Been a lovely, relaxing night but could have been better

that it's not going to be a good day. I woke up with the same headache that I went to bed with last night. :( I also didn't sleep well, partly because we had a big thunderstorm come through in the middle of the night that woke me up. Walked outside at 6am to leave for work and could already feel the humidity...blech, I so hate that! I'm still having to take medicine that is making me feel sick..

It's taken 9 months but Adam has figured out how to crawl. He's been scooching around the room on his butt for months now but now he is actually up on all 4 fours. Oh boy...here we go again. LOL

Alex had the opportunity to attend Discerning Direction at Assumption College in Worcester, MA. 4 students from SSPP along with one of their religion teachers made the trek to Massachusetts for the 2 day conference. Alex really enjoyed himself and I'm thankful for the opportunity for him to have him attend. Next up on his traveling agenda is a missions club trip to Gallup, NM in June.

Tonight was the Spring Sports Banquet. Alex likes to attend to show his support for all the sports teams at school. This year was a little tougher for him sportswise because we made him miss the last few games due to not turning in class assignments on time. It was a nice evening with good food. All the spring teams were recognized. It's wonderful to see how many students participate for

Alex had to be in Easton early this morning to help work a yard sale for his missions club. I decided to the little ones to Tuckahoe State Park for the couple of hours that he was working instead of going home. Here's some pics of our time there...

From Kristin's blog:Jen J for *Navigating the Waters of Infertility and Beyond posted about setting a concrete goal to read a specific number of books this year. It can be any type of book. She said, "I'm going to try to mix mine up between easy reads and thought-provoking books. Also a good mix of non-fiction and fiction as well. It will be interesting to see if I can do it." The whole goal is

Adam has his 4 month check up today and is doing great. He weighs 16 lbs 3.5 oz and is 24.75 inches long. Nothing really exciting about the appt other than the dr is now saying that he will most likely has the lump on his head forever which totally irritates me. First it was a few days, then a couple weeks, then a few months, then it'll be gone by the time he's a year and now it's that he will

I should have known that it wasn't going to be a good day when I tripped going my front stairs on the way to work. I then proceeded to trip walking down the hallway once I got to work. I was careful when I walked down the stairs mid morning and made it down without incident. I then took another walk down the stairs mid afternoon without mishap. But wouldn't you know it, when I was leaving for

One of the presents we received from my mom this year was some Friendship Bread batter although we have since renamed it Enemy Bread. LOL We made up our first batch a couple of days ago and I couldn't believe how many different ingredients it takes plus just the pita factor of mixing it altogether. We figured you can give it to your enemies and while they are engrossed in finding and mixing

We always speculate that washing machines eat socks...last night we actually were able to get proof of it. That's a picture of our washing machine filter with 3 socks stuck in it. One really has to wonder how they got there. Hubby has the full story on his blog (and I stole the pic from him) ;)

I can't believe that it's almost time for a new year to start already. This year has just been crazy...between work being nuts, all the kids sports/activities and having Adam the year has just flown by. I wonder what the new year has in store for us?I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year!

Keari has decided to follow in her siblings footsteps by being the latest one identified as needing glasses. So far, 5 of the 8 need them. Here's a picture that was taken of her in the drs office. Soon after the picture was taken, she broke the sample glasses by snapping off one of the arms. I don't think this is a good beginning to her glasses experience.

This is my last week off from work. Hard to believe it's been almost 12 wks already. I'm not looking forward to going back into the office. While I do miss the interaction with some of my coworkers, I really hate the travel but what are you going to do...it pays the bills. Of course, my hubby would say that I can do my job from home so there's no reason to go into the office at all. This is
