well, slowly but surely, our new home is coming along. thank you to all that have encouraged me through this difficult time. i'm very close to having another room done. and then it is time to tackle the kids rooms. YIKES! i just look in lexi's room and i turn around and walk away ... the boxes are stacked pretty high and just don't look nice. they aren't stacked neatly. i think i could handle it a little better if they looked nicer - is that insane? (don't answer that)
we are off to carlos' parents house to spend the night. tomorrow will be full of swimming and spending some time with the baby at carlos' sister's house.
i have to tell you about the dodger game the kids and i went to. sunday, the dodgers were playing the mets (GO METS!!) and i had promised the kids that i would take them to a game when they were playing each other ... and sunday was that day. well, unfortunately, it was an afternoon game so we had to rush from church to get there. (not to mention the heat of an afternoon game is very close to unbearable) 3 years ago when we were visiting CA, we took the kids to an afternoon game and vowed we'd never do it again because it was too hot ... i guess i didn't remember. anyway, i digress, ... we rushed home from church (carlos had to stay at church, so he missed all the fun), got changed into our mets AND dodger gear and headed off to the game with mapquest directions. but the problem with mapquest ... if you make a wrong turn, it is no longer a help, especially if you are lost in LA. there was construction, traffic, one way signs, and not a single sign for the freeway i needed to get back on. lets just say i wasn't in the best of moods. frustrated, ticked, not to mention, scared and disappointed b/c i didn't want to let the kids down b/c, oh, i didn't mention it was already the 4th or 5th inning. lexi kept saying to me, "mom, it's alright." and i think it was jackson that said, "we will just go to another game." long story short ... we found our way to the stadium, walked, i mean ran (me w/ tony in my arms) up a million stairs to find the one box office that was still open, got our tickets in the nose bleed section and enjoyed ourselves. the kids thought it was amazing. and to top it all off, God gave us extra innings and a met victory (GO METS!!).
wow, now i'm tired! i'll put a pic or two of the game on the blog (say it with me) 'once i can download pics.'
i must run now,
nic

You go Girl! I think I need a nap after reading of your adventure going to the game! It brings back memories of doing those insane (but wonderful) things with my 3 kids and then again many years later with Chris and of course he never wanted to go alone so we always took 2 extra friends with him. I think I am now too old to "run" anyplace so I try to leave several hours earlier to get there on time, sort of!
Pick a rainy day, if they get those in LA and settle for unpacking then but for now RELAX and enjoy! God loves you so don't worry about the small stuff like getting organized and unpacked! I would come and help you if I could..
Hugs Pat
Hey, Nic,
Write to Al. afasoldt@twcny.rr.com. He'll tell you how to download the pics. :) And, after 16 years, I still have unpacked boxes.
Love,
Nancy
