Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week.
What a busy but great week. Last Saturday, the 13th, I spent the day in San Diego at a Pop Warner admin meeting. At this meeting were all of the leaders of the associations for a specific league in the region. The way they break things down in Pop Warner can be a little confusing, but the main point is we were able to speak to the right people about Fanbooks.
It was a good day and I even got home before the kids were in bed, making it even better. I got to give them loves before crawling into bed and passing out. It was a good day, but also an exhausting one!
Sunday morning, Ben left on the field trip to Catalina Island Marine Institute. He, along with four other chaperones and 48 kids were going to be in Catalina for the week, and were set to return late Friday evening. This meant I was flying solo with the kids for the week, and I was totally okay with that.
We spent Sunday hanging out together. We went to the park for Ben’s cousin’s daughter’s second birthday party. The kids felt a little awkward as they were by far the oldest kids there, but it was still a good time. After the party, we went to the grocery store and then headed home to relax for the rest of the day.
The week was a good one. I worked from home every day but Thursday. Thankfully, I had a friend that works at the middle school who has a daughter at the same school as Isaiah. She volunteered to bring the kids home and even pick Isaiah up for me. It was wonderful and saved me an hour each afternoon by not having to run back and forth to get everyone after school.
We had soccer on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Isaiah even had a little game against the girls’ team on Thursday night. He scored two goals and was very excited about it! He almost scored three, but hit the upper crossbar on his first attempt.
The kids did a good job getting to bed each night, which made it a lot easier on me. We had a fun time together and I honestly loved the alone time with them. With all the traveling I’ve been doing, it was great to have them all to myself for a little bit.
Ben got home just after midnight Friday evening (technically Saturday morning). I was exhausted so when he told me around 10 p.m. how late he was going to be I told him I would see him in the morning and headed to bed.
Saturday morning we cooked the eggs for Easter, Analise and I did some shopping together and then Isaiah and I cuddled and watched some Marvel movies. Then the kids colored eggs while I fixed dinner. It was a fantastic Saturday! I can’t wait until Sunday morning to watch them hunt for Easter eggs and then spend a day relaxing with them before heading back to work on Monday.
This week marks the beginning of a LOT of upcoming travel. While I’m looking forward to it, I’m not really looking forward to being away from my kids as much as I will be. I hope while I’m gone they remember how much I love them!
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
