So Busy!

I have been so busy lately! I feel like I'm meeting myself coming and going. Kota is still playing in all star tournaments. He is in the last tourney for the season this week. He played Monday night and they won 4-3. He plays again on Friday night at six, but we also have an old fashioned Weiner Roast at Joel's gramma's house. Guess we'll have to take Kota to his game early, go to Gramma's to eat then head back to the ball field to watch the game. He plays again on Sunday then we can officially say good bye to the 2009 Baseball Season! I have enjoyed each and every game but I think I'm ready for it to be over. Kota will have two weeks off then start soccer practice on Aug. 10th!

Jordan has kept me busy the past two days! Yesterday we had to go to Peoria to see his hematologist and surgeon. Jordan has to to see the hematologist once a year for sickle cell and he had a follow up appt. with his surgeon from his hernia surgery. He got the green light to play sports which means he can start soccer practice as soon as his cleats come in. I had to order them online. He has missed some conditioning days due to basketball camp, vacation and surgery. Thank God these days weren't mandatory. His mandatory practice starts some time in August. He also had to have a base line EKG and another test that I can't remember the name of. When I go for my yearly check up with my gastric bypass surgeon Jordan is scheduled that same day for two more tests to get done. Dr. Saving, he specialist, wants these tests done now and then repeat them in 3 yrs. to keep an eye on his heart, lungs and other organs due to having sickle cell. It's just routine I guess.

Today Jordan had an orthodontist appt. and Kota had to have sealant put on his back teeth to protect from cavities. After the dentist we went to get the boys haircuts. Then it was lunch at McDonald's then on to Aldi's to get groceries. We then came back home, put groceries away, went hunting for wiffle balls since I banned baseballs in our yard and the neighbors yard due to a crabby neighbor and was unsuccessful in finding them. Stopped to pick up a few things at Kroger's that I can't get at Aldi's. Stopped at the Dollar Tree to pick up odds and ends then came home and put groceries away again then made breakfast for supper. I cleaned up supper dishes, watered my plants and did some laundry. Now I am able to blog about my day. Joel just left to take Kota to the YMCA to swim. Jordan didn't want to go so he's in the family room on the computer. I am off to surf the internet, fold laundry and just relax with Sunny in my lap. I plan of going to bed at a decent time and sleeping in tomorrow morning. My dog days of summer relaxing are almost over. School starts for me Aug. 24th but I have to be there before then to get my classroom ready for my students. I enjoy summer but always enjoy heading back to school in the fall.
