Random Mondayness
It is now the time of summer where things are winding down while other things are just getting started. This softball season is getting ready to end. Big P has her last tourney in Nebraska next weekend. Little P may not be on hand as she had her tonsils and stuff out last week. Thankfully Kris is home one of the days as it falls between his shift days, but a good family friend will have Little P on the second day so I can cheer Big P on. Little P has two more tournaments, one in a couple of weeks which is State and not too far of a drive in KC. The other is World Series which is four hours away and of course Kris can not take off, the fire captains usually take all summer, so the other guys are kind of screwed. Kind of annoying but he did try. So the P's and I will have a girls trip. Two trips, back to back, just me and a P or two. Should be fun!
Big P is in a tough spot for softball. She has a late December birthday which falls right before the age deadline and usually puts her with older girls who are in her grade. I dislike this big time. But thankfully and hopefully her new trainer and the new organization we are in, will take good care of her and assure she has good teammates. I don't want her playing with HS girls, but it may fall that way. We shall see. Upside for her, she can wear metal cleats. I never wore those but hey more power to her I guess. Little P has to move up too. I was wishing they could play together for a year, but alas that is not in the cards. I think she will make a move to the same organization Big P is in. That is the plan at least. Crazy to think it is so close to winding down.
However, I do like that we have some summer left before school starts. But that is just around the corner too. CRAZY! I have been working hard at organizing and getting rid of things. I am finally going through the fire boxes the cleaning company brought over after we moved back in. There are roughly 20-22 boxes that are half full with either pictures or artwork or random whatever they could save type of stuff. I have gone through 5 so far this past week. I have completely organized all of the pictures we have printed, which is A LOT! I had started scrapbooking a few years ago. Let me clarify by saying STARTED. I did not finish the two books I began, but Big P and I knocked those out the other night. I have so many pictures printed to scrapbook so I guess I will go and buy a few more books. I don't know how wild and crazy I will get on those, but at least if the pictures are in a book then I will feel better. I need to go through the external hard drive and see what other pictures they could save off my old computer. I love taking pictures but damn I need to get better and organizing them!
So that is my randomness for today....extra kiddos on hand as I am watching a friend's daughter this summer. Her step brother is here for a couple of days as well, and our 5 year old niece and 3 year old nephew are here as their dad and Kris are working a horrible accident. So sad to think two people started their day like normal and won't be going home to their families tonight. Even more sad to think about what my husband has to see in those situations.
