Opening Day!

Well, here goes. I am going to join the 21st century and try out this blogging stuff. I think it will be a good way to keep in better contact with family and friends if I can actually keep up with it!

So let's see...I've been playing single parent since yesterday, Charlie went to visit sister Jen in Chicago who was soooo sweet to buy him tickets to see the Reds play the Cubs this weekend. I think they will have a blast. I just wish they'd take me up on my suggestion to go see Oprah :)

Yesterday went pretty well but today began as a nightmare! Sometimes I am fairly certain my children are going to kill each other. But that doesn't keep me from thinking I want another someday!! Ok, so after numerous time-outs and time alone in their bedrooms, I was just frazzled beyond belief. Not to mention I had yet to get in the shower or even brush my teeth at this point. It was about 9:30 or so and I got a text from Ashley saying that Rachelle and Griffin were to be in town soon and they wanted me to come over for coffee (by the way the most awesome homemade coffee drinks ever, thx Ash!). In my head I thought it could end up in disaster but I hurried myself along and got ready and out the door with kids in tow by 11 (a near miraculous time).

We got there to see Ashley, Rachelle, Katie and little Griffin. I was pleasantly surprised to see my kids behaving like a couple of little angels sent from heaven! Ahh...I MUST be doing something right! Anyway, that's where the blog idea came from. Rachelle showed me hers and I thought that I should jump on that bandwagon as well. Thanks girl!

I love hanging out with my cousins, I wish we could do it more. It's so nice to get the little ones together too, and it makes for super pictures. I hope that our plans for a road trip to Fargo in late August work out, that will be a blast and we'll hopefully get to see Laura and Sarah too.

I suppose that's all for now, I am going to get this all fixed up and send the link out.

Love and hugs from the Sioux Empire!!
