Onto the Championship Game
Alyssa team, The Renegades, are onto the Girls Softball 8 and under Championship's. They won their game tonight 4 - 0. Good game, we rocked defensively and did even better offensively. We have an AMAZING team with wonderful coaches and such involved parents. It so great to see the smiles on our girls faces knowing how proud they made each and everyone of us. Great Work girls!! Wishing each of them a winning game on Fri night.

Great Day!!
I had a great day and it seems to get better as the day goes on.
I woke up early and climbed into bed with Alyssa who surprisingly was already awake, and we talked about her life, her thoughts...just about her. It was SOO nice. I really think she gets short changed when it comes to one on one time so it was a great time for us both. Refreshing to be able to connect with my 8 yr old. Before I blink my eye, she'll be hating be and won't even let me in her room.
Out the door we went to Alyssa's softball game. The Renegades, a team of 13, 8 and 9 yr old girls, took the field at 11 am. It came down to the wire, with the tying run for the other team on 3rd base, the game was called cause the time limit had been reached. So Alyssa's team WON!! Yeah!! 1-0. I am so proud of the strides and accomplishments she has made as a player from the beginning of the season to now.
As part of the softball assocaiation, the girls from Santee and all over the county are walking in parade on the Padre field tonight. Alyssa is SOOOOO excited that she's going to a Major League game with her friends, not so much that she has to walk on the field. :) That's my girl. I'll try an post pictures tomorrow so you all can see. Hope this finds you all happy, healthy and well.

TGIF
Well today I went and had lunch with my second grader!! My 8 yr old. Holy Crud, life gets away from you and before you blink I will have a third grader. Then I come home and have another day of Haley telling me no, and I don't like it and etc so on and so forth, and Alyssa being 8 going on 18. Is this a sign that I stink at parenting. Or my children think since I am half broke, physically, think that they can win and are trying to push as many buttons as possible. But I'm MOM and I will win. ;)
I HATE by first three blogs being about how frustrating my kids are....So among the aggravating things they do I figured I throw in the GOOD things that they did today.
Alyssa bought her sister a gift with her Birthday gift cards. Alyssa said Yes Please and No Thank you directed towards the cashier without being prompted. She came home and played with her sister and her new doll house, and even played the part of the dog just to please her.
Haley, she sat quietly in time out...Does that count as GOOD? LOL. Alright, I have to think a little harder. She is so active and so outspoken and I need to learn to embrace it and stop fighting cause I think this is who she is. She will be fiercely independent for the good and the bad. I love how she thinks her dimples and laughter will get her out of trouble. She tries to turn on the charm so fast after she gets busted. Haley is amazing friend who is thoughtful and sweet, she just isn't all that for me, and I guess that's OK.
Alright, well onto my busy day Sat. Wish us luck Alyssa softball team the Renegades is playing in the semi-final playoff game tomorrow morning. :) Then tomorrow night she is in a parade at the Padre's Game. It'll be fun to my little girl on a Major League Baseball field.

Bad Day...About both kids
Do you ever have one of those days that you think you need a padded room. Well today was one of those days for me. This morning started out slow, cause I took 2 Tylenol Pm's for severe foot pain last night, so to say the least I was groggy and slow to start up this morning.
I finally got up, went with Haley and joined 2 friends and their kids at the park. Fun had a good day and then it went to pot....Quickly.
Got home finished lunch put Haley to bed which she screamed for about 20 mins that she didn't want to go to bed and wasn't going to go to bed..Pushed her mattress off her box spring, had the cat playing with her pom-pom, So i walk in to reiterate that it is bed time and her mattress is laying on the floor and there are 1000 pom-pom strings all over the floor. She finally fell asleep. I wake her up about 2 hrs after she feel asleep and it begins from that moment until now. The No's, I don't want too, I'm not going to, I want food, I'm thirsty, I don't want to go there, I'm don't' want my car seat buckled.....UGH!! She has used all of my patience and then some tonight. Luckily it is her bedtime soon.
Alyssa has been in softball since Feb. We love it. She isn't going to be the next Babe Ruth of softball but she enjoys it and I enjoy seeing her do something physical. So every Wed since Feb she has had batting cages. We arrived at batting cages early and she was practicing her swings and I noticed she had a grey tank top on under her short sleeve white shirt. I asked did you wear 2 shirts to school today and she said how did you see it? That sparked my curiosity so I asked again Why do u have 2 shirts on? She said a friend of hers wanted them to have matching shirts on today. I said so you took the top shirt off when you got to school..Her reply was YES. OH MY GOD!! I have a 2nd grader who changed her clothes at school. What the heck do I do with this now!! So I told her that was like lying and NOT OK! If she wanted to wear the tank top than all she had to say was she was going to wear that but to go behind my back like that is so NOT OK.. She apologized and said she won't do it again. Help, she's 8 what the heck will she be pulling at 13. That padded room seems more appealing.
I guess tomorrow is another day and it can only go up form here right? Oh well. I guess off to bed, some peace and quiet a TON of prayer and thoughts of a better day tomm.

1st Attempt, They'll get shorter I promise
So I guess today being my first blog it should be awe inspiring and just AMAZING. Well I'm not one to dissappoint so here goes nothing.
Today...what happened today. Well I took pain meds last night to overcome the throb that is now my constant life of my left foot. Well It kicked my butt as it usually does and i couldn't get motivated to accomplish anything this morning. So luckily Eric is home right now and he took Alyssa to school and I finally got somewhat out of the fog and got moving.
We headed to Mission Bay to spend the day somewhere cooler than here and somewhere I could lay around and let Eric play dad. So to the bay we went. That lasted only aout 1 1/2 hrs, till Haley had so much sand in her privates she could've filled a sand box and Eric was hungry so home we came.
So home we are, I finally decided what the heck I guess I'll try and do one of these blog things and see where it goes.
Alyssa has a 5 o clock soccer game, which means she has to be the at 4:15. But the play offs begin tonight. I am excited, Alyssa not so much. Her team is in 1st place. :)
Oh, and tonight I get my stitches taken out, so don't call me to early tomorrow morning cause that haze that is the morning after pain meds will be my life.
