Today was one of those days.....well at least if your a parent, you'll understand what I'm talking about. Lizzie had to cheer at a future Chargers game this morning at 9am, so we were all up at 7:30 getting ready. After future Chargers, Allysa had gymnastics.....she belongs to a club in Lafayette so that was a bit of a slippery drive today. After that we went dress shopping, the Winter Formal is coming up for Northridge so we are on the lookout for that "perfect" dress! Of course Prom is only a few months away for Allyson so we picked up several Prom magazines for her from the dress shops as well. In the mean time while we were at gymnastics, Ryan went to South for the JV portion of The Sugar Creek Classic and kept stats. We all made it home by around 4pm for a couple of hours home before heading back out to South for the final game of the Sugar Creek Classic, again for Ryan to keep stats, Allyson is a manager for basketball and Allysa babysits some coaches kids during the game so adults can try and concentrate on the game! We finally got home about 9:55 tonight after an entirely full day of running from one kid event to the next.....and I wouldn't have it any other way!
I love being entirely active with my kids lives. Don't get me wrong, I do have my own life also, I love my flock group from church, I love having lunch with my girlfriends and I'm always up for a quick trip to the scrapbook store with the girls, but I LOVE being busy with kid things!!! I love being room mom for Lizzie's class, as I see my older girls now in high school and middle school, its really cool to have seen all of these kids grow up.
From the time I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a mom. I babysat all the time once I was old enough and I worked in pediatrics when I first became a dental assistant. Most people know I became a mom at a way to young age, and while I certainly don't advocate it for anyone, I have been more than blessed to make it work, most girls aren't as fortunate as I've been. I love being a mom. I would have another child tomorrow if my girls and Ryan would only give in!!! NO MOM...they are all yelling right now! I have always said I would be more than willing to be a surrogate for someone because I can't imagine not knowing the joy of having kids. I would love to be foster parents and help older kids who are usually harder to place. Get the common theme.....I love kids.
So while I say....."it was one of those days!" I mean it was one of those, crazy scheduled, every kid we have had something, both parents going multiple directions.....and LOVING every minute of it kind of day!
What kind of day did you have?
