We've got spirit

Here are some pics from First Friday in Clemson the other week and yes, I'm behind...sue me!!

My little ladies taking it all in!

notice the young lady standing in front of my girls--A.She NEVER sat down during the parade and B. She positioned herself there after my cuties were already in position to wait for the parade to come. Can someone say "manners?"

Clemson cheerleaders...my girls aspire to be one some day!

Body in Motion!

Today, for the first time ever, I played racquetball with Hubby. If you were at my Y this morning, I apologize for the screaming coming from the racquetball court. I am not afraid to admit, it scared the shiot out of me!!! Of course why wouldn't it? Box like room, a darting rubber ball, my lack of grace= a very good chance someone (ie. me) is bound to get hurt!! Hubby enjoyed laughing at me. I personally think he was getting some sick pleasure out of watching me contort my body just dodging that stupid blue ball! God help him when I get better at it is all I'm sayin'.

...

Everyone is busy talking these days about a "change". How about we all aim to do our part towards change instead of relying on one singular person. If it takes a village to raise a child doesn't it seem reasonable to believe that it takes a country to bring up a nation?

What is Love?

Love is driving all the way back home from Point A to spend a couple of hours and share dinner with your family before getting back in the car to head to Point B, adding several hours of driving to your trip. He's a keeper, that's for sure!

Revelation

No, it's not about the toxic friends. Still putting that post off.

Rather, it's about possible Baby Number 3. Long, long ago I was a gal who said she would "never have children" and then something switched. I went to the opposite end of the spectrum and said I would love to have 4 children. Then Hubby and I came to a compromise and we agreed on the golden number 3. As I lie in a hospital bed right after I had Lovebug, vomiting and trying to nurse at the same time (yeah, THAT was fun! n.o.t.) I still held strong to golden number 3. Then Babygirl came along. That pregnancy was a lot different from my first and recovering from surgery with two sweet ladies to take care of was pretty difficult. And my body, well, as I've said before, was changed! I gained 55 pounds each time I was pregnant. But even with all that I still held onto the golden number 3. But now as time has passed I started waining. Second guessing myself. Wondering why I would change the dynamic of the family, of my girls relationship. Was I being selfish? And I do already have 2 beautiful, perfectly healthy babies, wasn't that enough? And in my super obsessive state I worried about the effects of middle child syndrome on Babygirl. Lovebug would always have the first of everything with me and a baby would have the last. Where did that leave Babygirl. So I've struggled with this for several months now thinking I'd finally made a decision that I was comfortable with, no more babies for me. Until yesterday...and it was a simple moment brushing my girls' hair and chatting with them in the bathroom. And I realized that there is enough love in this house for just one more!...

On the road again...

Hubby and his new "Lady" are on the road again this morning. He's been home a lot more lately which made today seem so more difficult for me. He won't be back until Friday either...ahh! And to sales managers out there, if you are going to force your staff to be at trade shows pony up the money for the guys to actually have a booth to occupy!! Really, is it beneficial to have them just lurking around? I think not!

On a brighter note, how 'bout them Tigers? Lovebug was supposed to go with us, but she had a major clothes meltdown prior to leaving and since I had a sitter coming anyway to watch Babygirl I just threw in the towel and told her to stay home. We stayed till the third quarter and then headed on back home. Thank goodness we did, because it seems our sitter was more concerned yesterday with all things other than watching my children. As in she cleaned out her purse, did homework, let my girls just play on their own. Really upset about that and am now on the prowl for a new sitter! Yesterday was also a reminder of why toxic friends are no good, but that's another post for another day.

Sorry for the negativity. Needed to just scratch the venting surface or else explode!!:) Now off to pick out a week's worth of outfits for Lovebug and get them ironed before Monday (with all the other Sunday things that need to be done before Monday can begin). Hope you all had a great weekend!
