Moms World

Hey there everyone! It's almost 10:00 pm here on the other side of the world and I figured instead of possibly waking someone up to call and talk, I could just talk to you all right here! I'm a bit stressed tonight. Tomorrow is the big day...school is starting. To all you parents with grown kids - hats off! How crazy is it that I'm more stressed than they are? I worry that they won't make any friends or that they'll get lost. I stress that they'll come home crying and hating life in Australia. I even called my neighbors tonight to find out what other kids pack for snacks. I guess that's so their snack will fit in with the others - insane! It's quite nerve racking though. I'm sure all will go well. After all, who doesn't love my kids - haha!

We had our first swim lesson today. Gracie's class was great, although she was a bit more advanced than the others (the cross they bear). Cole and Brady were in a class with about 12 other kids and it was total chaos. But you would all be proud of me, I voiced my concerns about the class size (any one of you who knows me well knows I'm not always the best about voicing my concerns). Anyhoo, the lady who coordinates it trampled right back over me and persuaded me to give it a couple of more weeks for everyone to get in the swing of things(I said OK because we all know I'm weak). So we'll give it a couple of more weeks and see where it goes.

Thursday starts baseball and I think Cole is the youngest on the team. (Yet another thing for me to stress about). Everyone keep your fingers crossed that he will do well! Games are on Saturday morning at 8:00 am and the girls will be in gymnastics every Sat. at 9:00 am. Aren't we the busy family?

Speaking of busy, I've been quite the socialite. I went out with the girls Saturday night and danced until I almost blew out my bad knee! That would have been bad since Lindy's not close by to come to my rescue (just saying what you're thinking Mom :-))! Then Sunday I played Tripoli (very fun game by the way) with another group of ladies - and I think I'm in for the monthly. I've also already been invited to a couple of other parties. Am I just the lady to be around or what!!?? Hahaha! Jason may soon regret this move.

On that note, my busy weekend has made for a really tired Momma. Everyone say a short prayer for the kids tomorrow!
Love to all!
