Busy

Last week C told me,

"I'm happy in the world ... with you."

It made my day.

First soccer games were on Saturday. C had the ball and got pushed down and then he had the ball taken away twice and he fell apart. He was crying and crying and refused to go back in. D tried to sit with him and get him to go back in but he was done. It was a rough morning. D came home 2 hours late Friday so C didn't see him. Then Saturday we had a showing at 10:15 a.m. so we had to get up and get the house looking great so no hug time for the kids. Then off to his game.

K had a good soccer game. She's playing in a 4-5 league and since she's the oldest, it's giving her more confidence. It's probably not her thing but she's having fun right now and that's really important.

K lost her first tooth on Mother's Day. D pulled it out. I think he wanted to be here when it happened and Sunday night was his last night. She cried and cried because she didn't want to grow up and leave Mom and Dad; she missed her tooth; and she didn't want the Tooth Fairy to have her tooth. It happened at Grandma's house, it was a very emotional day. She put the tooth on her nightstand so the tooth fairy left her a $1 and a note that she could keep it for awhile. She took it to school on Monday.

Trying to show a house and be a single Mom to 2 kids is taking its toll. I have no time to do all the things I need to do. We have 2 art projects that we haven't finished and all kinds of things I want to do. Plus, everyone is trying to be helpful so we are SO busy. Dinner with this Mom and friends, visiting Grandma, play dates etc. It's great to have friends like this but I think I need some time at home too or we'll be very worn out.
