This week has been slower than usual Kelsey's soccer season is over so we do not have practice anymore.I really miss going and i know Kelsey misses playing also.They still do riding leasons on Tuesdays so that is good.It is so nice watching them do that they are both getting really good at it.Neither one has to be on a lead rope anymore Jennifer (instructor) has them learning the pattern of barrel racing.I do have a fun story about last Tues. I had left hamburger meat on the counter to defrost while we were at riding leasons and Robert gets home before we do and will make dinner. Well when he got home he could not find the meat and called me and i told him it was on the counter and he says "There is nothing on the counter"so i thought maybe i put in the fridge he says "There is nothing in the fridge"so him and i go back and forth for a while because i know that it is there.In the meantime Jennifer is listening to this conversation thinking it is funny because i was very adament that the meat was there.Robert starts walking around the house while i am on the phone with him and in our bedroom he finds the plate and the wrapper of the meat on the floor.Needless to say DAKOTA(our great dane)had a full meal of raw hamburger.She paid for it the next couple of days she pretty much lived outside because she had diarrhea so bad.
Robert has a friend at work that gave him an XBOX with alot of games the girls have been playing that in the evenings.And i know what you are thinking"I have always said i would never buy anything like that for the girls because i dont want them to get hooked on that"but i guess i lost that one since it is now sitting in our living room.
I cant remember if i wrote about this but courtney had a little hairline fracture in her wrist again about 2 weeks ago.She hurt it taking the saddle off the horse.Well on Thursday she had another xray and it seems to have healed so she only has to wear her wrist brace for riding for the next couple of leasons.She is really happy to get that brace off.She also is going back to her lung doctor on the 13th to have check up on her asthma.
My little Kelsey is the only one right now not having any problems.She is doing great at school and does not seem to sick very often.I better knock on some wood.We got the cuties soccer pictures of her they were taking by the soccer photographer and they did a great job.She is so independent she wants to everything her self.You should see her at riding she can saddle up the horse,pick its hooves,walk the horse to the corral and pretty much do everything her self.Jennifer just stands back and lets her do it.
Robert is starting his last semester of paramedic school he will be finished in Jan.Thank goodness!!!!He works till 5:15 and has to be at school at 6pm so on mon. and wed. and some sat. we dont see him.He has to something like 154hours of ambulance time this semester plus work and school.So starting this weekend I will really be a single mom.He has to all his ambulance time during weekends and any holidays that are coming up.But we can handle missing him till Jan. and then after that we will be back to normal he is going to take online course after that to finish getting a degree. I am so proud of him for finishing all this he will have alot of doors open for him once he is done and it will all be worth it.
As for me I am pretty boring. I just tend to the girls and do house work.I am pretty much the typical house wife and soccer mom.I am going to try and write in here more to keep everyone up to date on our day to day life.
Thought for today"Sometimes the only way to see ourselves clearly is through the eyes of another"My mom is my biggest fan who always lets me know who i really am.She is my cheeleader,my consulor,my support,and of course my best friend.
Poor little Courtney:( I will say some prayers for her......
ReplyDeleteSounds like they are doing wonderful in riding! That is just so great.
January is just around the corner - so hopefully it will "feel" that way! I will be thinking of you during your single mom time, and feeling your pain..ha!
Sounds like you have a lot to be proud of - the girls, yourself (what a good mommy you are), and Robert! Tell Robert I say early conratualations, and think that it's amazing how disciplined he is and what a striver he is!
I'm so happy to hear that he will have so many options when he is done - that will be nice for all of you:)
Give my angels hugs and kisses..
Love to you all...

I think all of what you are doing with the kids is wonderful!! I wish I was there to see them ride! But I will next year! I'm so happy that Robert is finishing up! I bet he is too! That Dakota, what shall we do with her!
ReplyDeleteLove you all dearly! And thank you for being you Carmen... Love you Mom
