Manic Monday

1. We are averaging two showings a week on our house which is GREAT....but no one is buying it, which is BAD. Actually, it isn't bad, it is just frustrating. It has been on the market for a little over a month now, and it is crazy how negative the mind can get, and how fast it goes there. Good news is we have another showing tonight. Thank you Jesus.
2. The Royals are killing me. Last night was a great performance by the Royals and they lost on a difficult pitch from a great pitcher. The Cleveland series was disappointing, although it was nice to see my old boyfriend, Sandy Alomar Jr, on the coaching staff for the Indians. He looked good. I'm happy for him. C'mon Royals! Let's get some wins so this town will quit bitching! (We are only ten games into the season and already people are negative.....we are all weather fans in this house!)
3. We had Jane's parent teacher conferences last Friday. I did not get to attend but Andy did not bring home any bad news...at least that he was willing to share. He did send me a picture of one of her art pieces that she had titled "My Underwear". Classic Jane.
4. Kate started Tball this week. She is so darn cute out there. Cute and Bored! This kid would benefit from a faster paced game. She loves to hit, loves to field the ball, loves to be in the action. Unfortunatly, little girls 6U tball is sllooooowwww. I almost feel guilty for signing her up. Her gymnastics class sign ups are in May, can't wait to see her **shine** in that spotlight.
5. Tess got her retainer last week and it is huge. ginormous. really really big. Thankfully she only has to wear it at night and during the day when she is at home(which isn't often). I think we are going to be out some money in two years, because if she actually manages to lose this retainer it will be tragic.
6. I am so ready to buy flowers for my deck and yard. So ready. Must. Hold. Out.....till May.
7. Planning the summer calendar with all the camps, practices, games, lessons, and other activities is making my head numb.
8. Our Bailey graduates from high school in one month. ONE MONTH. Can't believe how fast time has gone, it seems like just yesterday she was a little 8 year old teaching Tess cheerleading in the front yard. good times.
9. Samantha Jean has her own blog now. The link is on my blog in the right hand column. She is a busy softball playing college girl, so not a lot of time to post...yet. We hope to get to see her play softball in a couple of weeks. Tragic that she has been at Drake this long and we have yet to make the trip up there.
10. I need a date with my husband. Even if it is just grocery shopping and drive through dinner afterwards....would still feel pretty special.
