Weekend Ramblings

My apologies in regards to not keeping up with this blog regularly, especially lately.  It's been hectic.  The house is always a mess and no matter how much time I spend cleaning it always seems like it gets messier.  I'm trying to get through the laundry but every time I look at the hamper it looks as if it's getting more and more full instead of emptier.  The kids are always into something and always want attention.  My husband is home recovering from surgery and will be back in the hospital at the end of the week for another one.  It's been crazy.  Through it all I'm the one trying to hold it all together for everyone.  Whew!  Exhausting.  But it's worth it.  I do it all because I love my family.  I take my job as a wife and mother very seriously and hold my head up with pride no matter how tough it gets.  We'll get through this ... we always do. 

And it's also the start of baseball season for my son.  He did tball last year and then coach pitch in the fall but decided to go back to tball.  He's more confident with using the tee and it really shows.  I took him to his first practice last week and I was so proud to see how far he's come.  He's ready.  Unfortunately because of my husband's surgery he won't be able to coach the team like he did the last few seasons.  It will be hard for him to have to sit out and watch from the sidelines but I think my son works better when it's someone else teaching him (which is why I do not homeschool even though I've considered it).

 

We're also gearing up for Easter.  My favorite holiday next to Christmas.  We teach our children the true meaning of Easter but we also like to have a little fun in regards to egg hunts and the Easter Bunny.  A nearby park was holding an Easter egg hunt this morning so I was able to take the kids to that.  It was fun.  They did great with picking up lots of eggs.  

 

My husband is doing great with recovery.  A nurse and physical therapist come to the house and help him to learn exercises and how to get around.  He's been using a walker and cane and can get around a little here and there without any assistance.  He's been having trouble getting comfortable enough to sleep through the night but he's doing amazing.  It's soon time to have the other hip done so that will be more of a challenge getting around after that.  I am being the best and most patient wife I can be.  The children are doing amazing also with regards to how they help their daddy.  Our two year old is always asking if he's okay and if his hips feel better.  It's so sweet.  

I'm also happy to see the warmer weather is making it's appearance and hopefully will stay.  I'm so tired of the cold weather and so tired of the snow.  I'm happy spring is here, the start of baseball season and my son is getting closer to the end of his year at kindergarten.  He's been doing fantastic in school and brought home another perfect report card.  

Enjoy the weekend, readers!
