Let me start by saying - I love my 4 kids and wouldn't want to think what life would be like without any of them...
That being said they are a lot of work. The friends we have typically have kids the ages of our older kids, or kids the ages of our younger kids. There aren't many folks out here with kids in a twelve year span. If we had just the older kids it would be easy for me to go to all the after prom meetings, organize the baseball meals, and go to all the college softball games.
If we had just the younger kids, it would be easy to be a class mom, help coach softball and do cheer fundraisers...
I just wish I had one friend that lives what I live and I didn't always have to make excuses.....

March Already?
I can't believe it is March already. I actually love January and February because they are our slow months. This year they have just flown by. March is when things get busy again. Alyssa's softball games are in full swing, Trevor has HS baseball practice every night and games begin later this month, Mac has started soccer practice and games begin in a week or so, and Brennah is practicing softball, and still has cheer going on. Things don't slow down again until October - except for a couple of weeks in early August we will have something going pretty much every day.
The exciting thing about this March (other than Alyssa's and my birthdays) is that we get to go to two weddings. The first is this weekend for our niece Janell - marrying her long time sweetheart Matt. The next is on St Patrick's day and is one of Alyssa's best HS friends Jamee. For a while she was pretty much an extra child in our house - spending lots of time with us.
The new eating plan has been revised. I realized I was much to tired the way I started out so I have revised, but I am still eating healthy, still no soda (I can't believe it has been over a month) and am generally feeling much healthier. I still have a long way to go to get to a healthy weight and get my body in better shape. We purchased a recumbent exercise bike so I can have some cardiovascular exercise without putting further stress on my foot. I feel it is a bit better, but don't want to be on it any more that I have to be - that only extends the healing process. I am hopeful that it will be much better by summer.
I have ordered several healthy cookbooks and have been trying lots of new recipes. The family has been mostly positive about the healthy eating. Rodney has high cholesterol so hopefully this will help him as well. He thinks he eats healthy, but really does not make healthy choices most of the time. Hopefully some of it will rub off on him.
