Back to School

So... it's back to school time. For many it's one of the busiest times of year. For me it's a little extra busy. For myself and my three sons it's also football season. My favorite and yet most trying time of year. Today I'm sitting in my car listening to music, writing this blog, and watching my 11 year old practice. He didn't want to come today. He never wants to go and i always tell him that if he doesn't want to go he can quit. What does he do? Get dressed for football practice, and to add insult to injury he does this EVERY SINGLE DAY! The 12 year old is home with the stomach flu. I know it's genuine because he loves football. This child lives for football. He dreams football lol. I encourage him because he is very smart and quick witted and does very well in school. The 7 year old is always ready to go anywhere. He loves to play football too but he also loves running around and socializing. Since he gets out of practice earlier than the older two he gets to run around and play.

I must say it is tough. I'm a single mom raising 3 sons. Just writing it was tough but it is the truth lol. I get a lot of help from my parents and brothers. I have a small circle of friends that are helpful too, but for the most part I'm on my own and right now it's doctor and dental appointments, school shopping, registration into school, football practice every day, working, cooking and cleaning, breaking up fights, listening to wining, trips to the beach, going to dinner, movie and game nights, and so much more. I'm exhausted to say the least and can not wait for the school year to start. Even though it's still gonna be crazy busy at least the scheduling will be much more organized.

Well, thank you for reading this rant lol. Check back with me after the weekend for some interesting news!
