Friday, Friday, Friday

So, today is Friday. For most people, this would mean a wonderful last day to a work week. But really, to a SAHM I say it means the beginning of the craziness! Lets see, during the week, I have to get the kids up get them dressed send a few to school, send hubby to work and am left to deal with household chores, errands, etc. Now, on the weekends, no one has to get up at any certain time, there is always a houseful of children and a husband that is just about as demanding :P There are a million activities from b-day parties, sports, social gatherings, jobs that need done around the house and did I mention a houseful of kids? So, I must say that while to most hard working students and members of the out of the house workforce, Fridays are wonderful! But for a SAHM, I am not AS thrilled. Maybe Sunday nights can be our Friday nights!

Where has the time gone?

So, after much slacking on my part and a new found motivation to write, I am making my best effort to start blogging again. If you can beleive it, it has been 6 mos since I last wrote. That means we have been in the new house for 6 mos and that is just crazy! Things here in C-burg are going along  quite nicely. The kids are settled in the new neighborhood ( only across the street from the old) and I am settled in all the new space we have. I am not going to try and fill you all in on what has happened in the last 6 mos, I will just start from here and we will call it even :)
    Ryan P started 3rd grade! What the heck is that about?  I never cease to be amazed at the speed at which children grow up. On that note, Bridget is now in preschool 3 days a week from 9-12. I cried and cried her first day. I guess I just thought she would be my sidekick for a lot longer than this. All I know is watch out Monica, when B is in full day Kinder next year I will be all up in M's business :)
    Football season is in full swing here. Lil R is playing JV this year and Big R is the defensive coordinator, even though I can sense he longs to be the head coach...maybe next year. I take the girls to practice almost every nite. I know that I don't  HAVE to but I think it gives them a nice trip to the park and I like to socialize, if you can believe that, lol. This week we are off to Fairfield for a game on a Saturday nite. Should be fun, and this way we have all day Sunday to ourselves. Steeler football baby!!
    I have been keeping busy myself with PTO duties and going to the gym on M-W-F after I drop B off at school. I have a mini goal of running a 5k next spring. I am off to a good start but I need to stop the snacking and desserts if I am going to make that goal :) 

So, here's to keeping up with blogging, I am going to do my best. Now that school is in session, I may be able to sneak in some free minutes for it. ( right after Days of Our Lives ) Stay tuned!!
