Does it ever slow down?

It is 6:45 in the morning and I though I might have a few minutes of peace to write something down. Wrong. I hear an alarm in the background, a sign that the days craziness has begun. I don't know about anyone else, but mornings are the busiest around this household. Having a teenager, a "pro-teen", and a 3 year old makes for a busy morning. Oh yeah, we can't forget about the th 40year old too. ( Whom I think is the highest maintence of all at times! Love ya guy.)

Oldest has had a very busy fall. I need to take time to brag her up here. She just finished performing in her Jr. High play. Her part was Mrs. Gloop, that would be G-L-O-O-P (in a very thick German accent mind you) from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I know I am a bosting parent- but she really did steal the show. I did not know that my Drama Queen teenage daughter was funny! She had us crying we were laughing so hard. Of course, seeing my 100 pound daughter wearing a fat suit that made her look 300 pounds, and trying to dance with that one is quite a sight amongst itself. Oldest- you were fabulous.

Middle daughter is busy starting basketball. OK- is it just girls or do all kids think they are horrible at something, and then when we see them actually doing their activity they excell at it? Middle came home crying everynight after bball saying how horrible she was, nobody would pass her the ball, she is never going to play again. We go the 1st game, and viola- guess who is all over the court, jumping around like a jumping bean, and guarding her little heart out. Yep- that would be number 2 Drama Queen. Soccer star and future Basketball star!

Monster boy. Where do we begin? Boys- pent up energy. Tom and I are grooming him for his future as a pro-football player. We gave him the option of being a Cornhusker or a Hawkeye on his way to Steelers fame. Looks like this family needs to start sprouting a bunch of Red. This kid eats, breathes, sleeps, and lives by football. I sure hope he can really take care of us in a manner we would like to be taken care when he becomes a professional football player. It seems hard to believe that the little boy who crawls into bed w. us EVERY NIGHT is the same little boy who never stops during the day. Grandma and Grandpa are coming up to watch Monster boy for us this week- Mom and Dad- I hope you are ready to run, run, run!

Welp- I hear movement- time to start morning craziness.
