You guessed it, busy busy busy.  Opening ceremonies for the start of Spring sports was this weekend followed by Derrick’s first soccer game.  His team, the Tsunami’s, lost 5-0. Derrick’s team is very talented however this team was tall, fast AND talented. 

Derrick had a friend, Austin, spend the weekend. Derrick and Austin helped me with the front garden.  They worked their butts off and boy does it show.  We went to Home Depot yesterday and enjoyed some hotdogs from the stand afterwards.  I had been suffering from a bad headache most of the afternoon yesterday and this morning it was still lingering so instead of church we made french toast (for the boys) and then headed outside to beautify the garden. Most of the flowers are late spring/mid-summer blooming so once they start blooming I’ll post more pics. Austin went home about 4:30p and then off to the commissary for some groceries. I’m trying out 3 new recipes this week for dinner. I’ll let you know how they go and if they are good enough I’ll post them.

Xavier’s been giving me a hard time sleeping in his crib. I’ve even tried his “big boy” bed but that hasn’t worked either.  When Geno was home we let him cry it out and it took in the beginning 30 minutes and the time went down slowly until he had no problem going to sleep. Thursday he cried for 1.5 hours!  He made himself sick. So lately, if he fights it I let him cry for 30-40 minutes and then I go get him. I’m hoping it’s a phase but the stress of listening him cry himself sick is not something I can deal with right now. Anyone have any suggestions?  I think I’ve tried everything. Infact, today he hasn’t taken a nap. He tried falling asleep on the way home from the grocery (at 630p) but Derrick and I kept waking him up. Luckily, when we got home he perked up a little… Hopefully not letting him take a nap works tonight. We will see…

This week at work will be busy. I’ve got about 4 projects I’m working on and there is a good chance I will be working overtime. Which means I have to go in early since I can’t stay later than 5p.

Well, that’s it for now. Take care!
