Mortified

Never going back to the pool again...
Ok maybe that is an over exaggeration.

So anyway, shortly after we got off the phone another man asked those guys to leave. So anyway they left and went to another street and sat there listening to their gangster rap music. They must have been doing something, but who cares they left. Well now the pool is nice and peaceful and the kids are being crazy. All of a sudden lily gets out and her lips were crazy blue and she said she was cold and wanted to go home. So I told her she was a party pooper and to lay down to warm up. Almost immediately after that Christian comes up and says his tummy hurts he wants to go home. Well you guys are no fun...fine lets go home. So I'm packing up...and bleh. Christian yaks all over the patio, like 5 times. OMG! Thank God Jacey's boys were there...Mark got a garbage can out of the bathrooms and helped me clean everything up. Lily takes the baby to the car, Christian goes to the car, Mark and I finish cleaning the patio. We get home and Christian goes to the shower I ask for Lily's help getting the pool stuff put away so I can change the baby and put her down for a nap. Then I hear more puking. So I am talking to who I think is Christian through the baby monitor asking if he is ok. Well it wasn't Christian. It is Lily...now she is puking too. Luckily she made it to the bathroom.
So now they have a stomach bug. Neither one of them have stopped vomiting since. It is no fun at all. I tried to give Christian some water because "my throat is so dry" and he threw it all up.

Hopefully it is only 24 hours. But I found out later in the day that mom is in the freaking hospital with the same crap.

My poor babies are so sick. Hopefully they will be better tomorrow and hopefully mom is better soon. It just hit everyone so suddenly and from the sounds it at the same time. Mom wasn't feeling well and got sick the same time the kids did.

I hope your day goes better than ours...lol...I love you! Good night!!

softball

I have never felt as old as I do right.

We had softball practice today which was ok...I am very rusty. VERY!

Anyway...so the field we practice on (the one next to the branch) is not in good shape so I decided I wasn't going to play that hard because 1) it's practice 2) this field is garbage.
I still hurt. It's not even the next day and I hurt.

But it went good. I am playing first again this year. We have to find another female to play infield too, we have to have two in the infield. These rules are crazy. The field is split 5 men 5 women.

So at Christian's practice tonight one of the mom's has the cutest lil Shih Tzu puppy and Addison was so excited to see him. She kept yelling "DOG" "DAT DOG" "DOG!"
It was super cute. I had some shirts made for her and Lily that came in tonight. I am super excited about them. I will have to show them to you later.

Anyway not much else to report. I am super tired and have to open tomorrow. Hopefully I get to talk to you tomorrow. I enjoyed talking to you today. I miss you!

I love you! Good night

Break...

Break....What is a break?
If Monday were a person...





She'd look something like this.

So today started so smooth. What are you doing today? Well I am going to work on the schedule and do some teller observations...it's going to be a good day. FALSE!
Today was so good, then all of a sudden...SHE comes in. The she who ripped my face off last week because she is rude and ignorant.
She comes in and she is on the phone with the contact center because she wants everyone to know how "mean and nasty that assistant manager is"
UGH! FO REAL!


I can only appropriately handle this situation with memes.

Anyway the "newish" teller gets and gives her exactly what she wants. So when I pull her aside and ask her why she didn't follow procedure. "Well....ummmm....well she was angry and causing a scene and she was on the phone with corporate office"

UMMMMMMM FALSE!
One we don't have a "corporate office" we are not some super villain corporation. Two she was on the phone with the contact center...who are they...they are telephone tellers.
"Well they told me not to do it?"
O Really? You talked to them?
"Well no, she told me they said"
Ok Well I need you to go read her acct notes now, and for future reference you need to CYA and if you are going to make exceptions like that...you need to speak to the person who is "okaying" them. Not hearsay.

Ugh...just ugh!



Anyway, that was my day in a nut shell. I hope you have a good day. I missed talking to you the last couple days.
I love you!!
Good night.

All Stars

This was a longgggggggggg weekend. It's funny I am looking forward to going to work on monday so I can get a break. I can't remember the last time I had an energy drink...and I was so tired today I had to ask the kids dad to bring me one to the game. I was flat exhausted.

But it was a good day today...our boys crushed those other teams. One of them they absolutely annihilated. They played really good. Christian's bats are really on fire lately. He hit amazing today! I cannot stop watching the videos I took today. He is getting really good. They are teaching him how to be a catcher. Not just a stand back and watch the balls come in....like an actual catcher. He loves it. I am excited for this knights season. With that being said...I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO PUT SUNSCREEN ON! I put it on everyone except myself

I am pretty sure my face is burned too. But I haven't looked in a mirror since I've come home.

So much pride is in my heart for this little boy.

So as if I didn't have enough on my plate. I've had to start packing Addison's lunch too. I put it off and debated so long about it. But I have to. I buy so much fruit and veggies for Addison to eat for lunch and mom feeds her garbage 5 days a week. Saying she doesn't know what to give her. WHAT?! HOW?! Give her a banana, a pear, an apple, an orange. For real. I threw away so much fruit and veggies this week. So tonight I made her some frittatas for tomorrow and sliced a kiwi. So hopefully this will help cut down on the wasted food and on the garbage she eats.

Well I hope you have a good day. Sorry I haven't been writing much. I'll get better about it. I love you!

Home

It feels good to be here.
I did however have to come home and crash clean though...because I forgot to tell you. Jacey referred her cleaning lady here. So she is coming tomorrow to view the house.

Soooo....I have got to be the best baseball mom ever! LOL. I feel like I fail as a real mom but I am wayyyyy up there as a sports mom. I got Christian's glove all broken in. You would never look at this glove and think it has been in our possession less than 24 hours. It is soft and flexible. I have a ball wrapped up in it right now shaping the pocket. But this hot oil treatment was awesome!

I had another episode with mom. Hopefully this gets better when you are back and she won't "be required to work such long hours".

So Christian got fitted for his knights uniform tonight! So originally we were getting 2, now Coach is saying we may only get one depending on the most popular. The black ones are cool, but the white ones are AMAZING! I hope we get them both, but if we only get one I really hope we get the white one. And that I can keep Christians white.
So right when I thought I was going to get a nice relaxing Saturday with the kids at the pool....FALSE! I have been asking their father for weeks now if he was going to take Lily to the daddy/daughter dance. He never answered me. Well he told me today TWO days before the dance he will be picking her up at 4. Now...while I am happy he is taking...WTH man!? Must you wait until the last freaking minute. UGH!

I am sure I have more to tell you but I cannot remember it all. I am tired.

Good night! I love you!

no judgement

Life is beating me up, and I am literally about to lose my shit...
I told Christian's travel coach that tonight. It is how I feel.
I wasn't going to tell you. I was told I shouldn't complain to you. But I am...
Bad wife status...

So I forget to take C's bat bag out of my car. I get to the game 10 min late. Just enough time to see my clean up hitter smack a double into left-center. But they tag a kid out on 3rd and there was 2 outs. Anyway so I run over to the dugout to give him his bat bag. His glove isn't there...
We didn't play with the Indians or the Knights on Sunday. We played with the Cubs coaches. He literally was using whoever was on the bench...he used their glove. Luckily we played Coach Randy's team tonight (they killed us) because Coach Andrew is out of town. So I talk to him after the game and he calls Coach Jason (Cub's coach) and Coach Jason does not have C's glove. He says hopefully someone turned it in to lost and found but a nice glove is doubtful. Great...just fucking great. So I ordered C a new glove tonight...he is paying us back for half of it. But I also spent a lot of money on other stuff. So I need you to not pass any judgement because I am having a very bad week so far.

So anyway, Lily lost her freaking acro shoes last week. I didn't do anything this past weekend because I was hoping she would find them when she went back to dance Tuesday...ummmm no of course not. So I had to get her new freaking acro shoes. I am seriously at the end of my rope over here.

We have an early game on saturday and afterwards I am literally not doing anything. I had already planned on grilling that evening. So I am going to the pool with Vanessa and the girls. I just need a break from reality.
I don't have an issue leaving work stuff at work but I do have an issue of leaving home stuff at home. Because I still have to deal with home stuff at work...I am never doing just one job. I am always doing all the jobs.

Thankfully I had asked Samantha to bring a glove for Christian to use (even though he refused to use it) or I may have lost my head right then...I could feel myself starting to break down. So then to make a stressful situation even more intense. Their dad is on vacation for the next 2 weeks, for his birthday. So I asked him to follow me to publix and I would give him cash for gas, food, and a new glove if he would get the kids tomorrow or thursday and take them shopping. His answer was no...so then I was really about lose my cool. Trying to figure out how I was going to get him to Dicks to get a new glove. So I just ordered one off of Amazon...crisis averted.

So in the end I figured it out but it was a rough evening. I talked to Coach Andrews mom tonight, she is a really nice lady. Anyway she said she just made a point to buying several gloves at a time that way when this happened she could just pull another one out and they could use it. This is all new for me...I never lost my glove. I had one glove, I outgrew it and got a new one. The "new" one is the one Lily used...I NEVER lost my glove. I am making him give me money for half of his new glove as punishment for not keeping up with his equipment.

Anyway...that was my night. On a lighter side Christian is hitting fantastic off the pitching machine now. He will probably be clean up hitter from now on. He hit a double and they tagged a runner out at 3rd. Then he hit a single into right field and hit in 3 RBIs. I say he did his job on that last hit. My man!!! hittin bombs all over the field!
I hope you have a great day. I love you! Good night

Monday Indeed

UGH! Just ugh!
I swear it seems like there is just shit when Matt is off and he has only been off twice. Well we will start with...I am pretty sure Addison had a stomach bug last week and now I am pretty sure I have it. So there's that. Then we'll move on to....I didn't get to take a lunch today. We only had one teller and it was busy, so I was on the teller line. And if one more mother effing person were to yell at me...I would quite possibly be unemployed right now. Like these people were not just upset or frustrated. I mean they were screaming at me. The first lady I could understand, her situation was different. But the last lady. OOOOOO MAN! She almost made me forget who I was. It was bad. She was ignorant and kept cutting me off when I was trying to talk to her. Like with noises too, not words. I was would be in the middle of a statement and she would be like "NAHHHH!!!" "EHHHHHH!!!" "UH UHHHHH"
Omygoodness it was so unimaginably hard to maintain my composure. Then when she left she was storming out all bitchy. "I'ma had dat bitch's job. You wait. She don't know who she mess wit"
Apparently I messed with someone extremely immature and uneducated. But had she just shut her mouth and let me speak to her...she would have heard that I was going to do what she wanted "as an exception". But nope...didn't want to let me talk. So screw her...

On a lighter note here is Lily's school project. I think she did a fantastic job. We are not quite done yet. I am not sure if we are going to be able to put the pictures on the board since we put the target on the board. But hopefully it all turns out.

So Addison has definitely high a new milestone. She is just a completely different little baby to be around. Almost over night too. She makes all kinds of different noises when she is talking now.

The #1 sign your infant is turning into a toddler. How can 1 child do this!? Just how?

Well I hope you had a good day! I love you! Good night.
