I Got Over It!

Wow! What a feeling I had today. Initially I started to push my daughter towards a sport she was getting excited about joining. Then she came down to me and in tears she told me she was too old to begin a new sport, like swimming. This is my oldest and she's not on the swim team, like the other two kids. I began to feel like I failed my daughter and didn't work hard enough to get her involved in sports earlier. Was she the child that had 17 surgeries and left with a little kidney that can? Yes. She is amazing. I guess I protected her during the early years. Her medicines just make her so susceptible to the sun. She's an academically amazing student. The years have gotten away from me and all of a sudden I woke up and she is 15. So, things are what they are and now I'll just allow her to tryout for cheer again. In Virginia she was a cheerleader and just loved it so much. We moved here, to Tampa, to late for her to get involved with Cheer or tryout for her Freshman year. Sigh.

I'm now over feeling like a failure. It isn't about me. She is going to begin a new journey on Monday with trying out for a competitive team and I have so much confidence in her! Let the fun begin! Also, let the next few years go by very slowly.
XOXO

I'm Feeling It

Totally feeling the whole "Julie McCoy, Cruise Director" vibe right now. I just need a clip board, name tag, and a nice big ship would be awesome! I'll have Issac make me a Christietini at 5!

I'll have a summer full of 6AM wake ups for the swim teamers and that's enough to get any mama going!

In A Blaze of 40!

It's been a great Birthday Week! Loved it! Thank you for my wonderful wishes! Forty is ok!

The first day of Summer Vacation for the kids! Now what?! I need to figure out what to do with the kids! It's quite the task.

Oh and BTW...Helllllllooooooo New Dehli!!!!!!!

Who knew I was so popular in India?!

Aaaah 40 has come fast!

Well I haven't posted in a few weeks. I've been working on getting better, but the end of school has really rocked my world! The kids are great and the school year is almost over! Between the parties and the state testing it's enough to make the kids and mommy stressed and happy all at the same time! There are only 3 days left and I'm working on all kinds of fun plans for the summer.

Tomorrow is a big day! Tomorrow I turn 40 and I'm just wondering how it happened so fast! Believe it or not 40 is not so scary! I think I'm holding up pretty darn well! I walked into the kitchen and a beautiful vase ful of Pink Long Stemmed Gorgeous Roses! I'm loving my "Holiday Weekend!"
