Long time no post! When I started this blog I thought it would be so much easier for me to keep in touch with everyone on a more regular basis. I had the hardest time typing all these emails to each individual person saying the same thing over and over again. I would usually only get a few done and then stop; hence the main reason for this blog. Well, I am finding out I am just as bad about writing as I always was!!! Sorry! I will say I will try and get better, but please don’t hold me to that! 
Okay, getting back to it. Let’s see….it has been what, like two weeks since I have posted. What has been going on these past two weeks? Well, my last post was right before Mother’s Day weekend. That Saturday was quite crazy. I had so many things to do I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to keep it straight. Let me see if I can recap the day….Chayse had her dance recital rehearsal at 10:00, Tyler had a birthday party to go to from 11:00 to 12:00 and then a soccer game at 12:30. PLUS, I was asked to make the birthday cake for the party. It was Connor’s 6th birthday and Lisa asked me to make him a Scooby Doo cake. I made the cake on Friday. Then Saturday morning I had to drop the cake and Ty off at Lisa’s house so Lisa could take Ty with her to the party, take Chayse to her rehearsal, then to the party, where we met up with Mark who had been at a conference that morning. We were there for only about 15 minutes and then had to leave to make it to Ty’s soccer game. By the time the game was over I was done! We grabbed some lunch with one of Ty’s team mates (Jake) and then Mark and the kids headed to Jake’s house to hang out and swim. I stayed home and caught up on my transcribing, watched some TV, and just chilled.
Mother’s Day was no relaxing day for me. I spend pretty much the whole day trying to finish painting Chayse’s bedroom. The good news is I finished it, but wow is it PINK! I still don’t think I am used to it, but Chayse loves it. I also want to thank Katie again for the most beautiful flowers she sent me for Mother’s Day!!
That next week Mark had to go out of town for work and wouldn’t you know it….the kids and I got sick. It ALWAYS happens! I should just start stocking the house with soup, Gatorade, crackers, etc. when Mark is getting ready to go out of town so I am ready! So, last week kind of sucked, but we are all good now. Actually, the timing could not have been better. We were better just in time for Chayse’s dance recital. I was so nerves, my stomach was all a mess, you would have thought I was the one in the show. She wanted nothing to do with the dance rehearsal, so I was SURE she was going to do the same thing at the show. But, I have to say she totally blew me away. She was GREAT!!! I am SO proud of her. She danced beautifully. She brought tears to my eyes! With that, I will leave you with a picture of my little girl!
