Caring for My Chaos

this was my car. Why was my car filled to the brim, you might ask? Well, that's because Izzie has officially moved home. Her semester is over and her exams are done. She is officially a college sophomore! God, I'm old. So I went over and took one load of crap, oh, sorry, I mean stuff, and she brought the other. Why is it always more stuff comes back than goes out? I don't get it. But, it's a good thing she moved back because this week is Bubby's tournament week in baseball and I thought we were going to have only 2 games this week and it's actually 4. So she is going to be my backup tomorrow night because I'm taking Doodle to her L'Alliance Francaise awards. She's up for an award French essay she wrote! So excited!

This is my now official traveling Hubby. He has been traveling more often for work but recently has taken a position that he will be traveling a whole lot more. This is good in the sense that he doesn't have to go into the plant and will actually enjoy his job, but hard because he is not here. There are some perks, but being a single parent is hard. I give major props to single moms and military wives. You guys deserve major awards and a bottle of wine for what you do. It's a little easier since I only have 2 at home now but it still gets absolutely insane. So, I wanted to share what are the perks that I have found- Netflix. Back in January, I finally caught up on all the American Horror Story series that I had missed and am now going through Mad Men. I think my next one will be Once Upon a Time. These are all shows he wouldn't watch and I can watch in peace! Not cooking. My kids love Ramen noodle night. Doodle would live on Mac and Cheese if I let her. I also make the...

As you know, this is my darling family. Ain't we cute? This week has already been absolutely insane and it's only Tuesday! First, Hubby took half of yesterday and today off and he's been lost in his shed working on 4 wheelers and such, my oldest has spring break this week from college so she's home which brings craziness of it's own brand to the mix, Doodle has started her athletic training course after school on top of driving range plus she is in a dodgeball tournament tonight at the high school. (They do it every year to help raise money for the athletic program and it's so much fun! All the clubs and sports teams make up their dodgeball teams and compete against each other in a double elimination tournament. You just have to be careful where you sit. I took a ball in the eye last year!) AND Bubby started baseball so we now have practice twice a week. And it's my dad's birthday this week and I have no idea what to get him. Oh, and I almost forgot, ...
