Yesterday everything was going smoothly...
we had just finished DQ's practice, gone home and picked up Hongo, and then arrived at a meeting for adult softball. The kids and I went to the park, and then I went over to watch a softball game.
LQ brought the Hairy One to me, SCREAMING and crying. He said he hit his face. A quick look over at him, there weren't bruises, blood, or anything. So I picked him up and carried him around for a bit, and then settled on the bleachers to watch the game.
He started crying again, so I took him inside the community center and offered to buy him a treat from the vending machine. It was broken, so when I came back to tell him, I noticed his face looked funny on one side. It was swollen and hard as a rock!
I knew he had a cavity on that side, and we were due to go in this Friday and have it filled. After another 10 minutes, I finally interrupted the meeting and told Hongo we had to leave and take the boy in. He was in too much pain, and was becoming very tired and disoriented. He kept yelling at me to stop touching his face, and I wasn't.
Poor thing.
We got him in right away and they prescribed him antibiotics.
by the time we got home we were all tired and hungry, so we bought some in and out.
He kind of goes in spurts, he will feel fine and play, and then the next minute he is is crying and in pain.

Happy Easter!
Gosh,I have so many pictures to download and post!
I have a card full of pictures from today's events, yesterday's and the big Park potluck from Thursday!
Just when we were just getting finished with all the Valentines' Day candy, we now have some Easter candy!
When is the next holiday??!!
Its another busy week at our house. There are so many spring projects to start (and some winter ones that never got finished).
Since the weather was absolutely gorgeous today, I went out and mowed the lawn. Tomorrow I will attempt to pull some weeds (although the trash cans are full, so I really have no where to put the weeds) and spread some fertilizer for the grass.
My father in law is supposed to let me borrow his chainsaw so I can cut a large limb off the willow tree. Then it will look nice and pretty. I also found the broken sprinkler, so tomorrow it is off to Lowes to find a replacement!
Tomorrow DramaQueen has practice, so I get a day off from coaching!

All done!
Well, the event I was stressing about has come and gone. We went to the political fundraiser for Anthony Adams and with the exception of ONE person, we met really nice people and I have discovered that even filthy rich people get nervous and stressed!
Despite all the hype and security (bomb sniffing dogs sniffed my purse!) everything went off without a major hitch.
I didn't eat anything except a tiny chocolate tart at the end. My friends know how picky I am, lol! No, I didn't try the caviar, I did NOT say "Hasta la vista, baby" to the Governor, and I did not kiss him either. Sorry guys!
I did shake hands with the Assemblyman, and let me tell you - that guy is GOOOOOOD. He makes you feel like you are the only person there that he wants to talk to. He makes good eye contact, and shakes hands with a firm grip.
Nice guy overall, despite some people's objections.
Hongo and I got out of there around 8:15pm. We stopped in Rancho Cucamonga for dinner and we ate at Fleming's steak restaurant.
I had to give Hongo a hard time. The food was slow to come out, and I told him that rich people are never in a hurry so the food could take all day!
It was a good dinner, despite that I didn't order a steak. I am just too picky about steak and how its cooked. When Hongo's steak came back, I was glad I didn't order one because I wouldn't have eaten it. My breast of chicken was very good though.

The sweetest thing....
I should really be washing my car and getting ready for tonight, but I had to sit and post this in my blog so I can look back and remember one day.
My kids are staying at my in-laws' house tonight, and MIL just came and picked them up. I gave them all hugs good bye and they left.
5 minutes later, my two little ones are back at the front door. "We forgot our DS's!" so they run inside and grab them. DramaQueen hops back in the truck and The Hairy One was still upstairs looking for a charger. When he finally cam down, I said to him, "you better hurry, the truck is leaving!" He ran out the door but stopped on the porch. He turned around and said in THE sweetest voice "Mommy, I want to kiss you goodbye!"
So I said "Come here!" and he kissed me and hugged me tight. I told him "I love you, Buddy." and he said, "I love you too, Mommy!
As he got in the car, I heard him tell my mother in law "I really needed to kiss my mommy goodbye." and then he slammed the door shut.
And so someday I know that I won't get hugs and kisses everytime my son leaves the house. But some lucky woman will, and I will be so happy.
Today is our 14th wedding anniversary, so today as I revel in the love my children and I have, tonight I will celebrate the love that got it all started.
I love my Hongo!

I have time to write!
Today I actually have time to sit at my desk and write. SO here comes the things that are on my mind...
First of all, my heart is heavy and very sad for my dear friend Taryn...her son died on April 1st. I got the call from my other friend who had asked if I had heard. I knew she wouldn't joke about something so serious, but it didn't stop me from asking if it was an April Fools' joke.
Sadly, its not, and my heart breaks for my friend who lost her 4 month old son. He was so beautiful :(
Wednesday was hard, because I went from the phone call to my daughter's baseball game and tried to put on a happy face. I stayed behind my camera alot, and just enjoyed my own precious child and felt thankful that she is going to be 8 in a few weeks and is healthy and strong. And a damn good baseball player too.
The boys on her team respect her somewhat, and the boys on the other teams are learning not to underestimate the batter wearing the bright pink helmet.
Hongo and I are so proud, and you can tell that LQ is quite proud as well. "My little sister plays hardball" is stated proudly, and with a big smile.
Speaking of talent, LQ is showing signs of improvement. She knows that she can do more, and so she has been pushing herself a little harder each time. I bought her a facemask, and now that the threat of getting hit square in the face is gone, she catches everything that is hit at her. We were practicing at the park, and one of the parents asked me if I was angry with her, and to maybe tone the hits down. She was catching everything and asking me to hit it harder.
I can't wait to see her in her game tomorrow.
My son is doing fine as well. I can tell he would rather play tackle football, but MOM is too afraid of her baby boy getting hurt. Baseball is a little safer.
Hongo is in vacation planning mode. He is thinking that we may go to Tahiti this year.
I can never get into planning a vacation. All I see are the $$$ flying out of my bank account. Money that I worked so hard to save...
Of course I enjoy the vacation and then I go into saving for the next one, but still.
I recently bought a heart rate monitor, to help make my workouts more efficient. My weight training becamea bit stagnant, and one would think with all the running around that I do, i would be thinner. Not the case.
Since time is precious, everything has to be as efficient as possible.
I bought a new Blackberry (which I love) and I am allllllmost done making it the way I like it. I would prefer a today theme which shows me my appointments and messages at a glance, but I LOOOOOOVE my theme right now (baseball theme).
Anyway, my blackberry keeps me from being tethered to my desktop and I can read and reply to messages immediatly, so when I get home I can do other things. Like laundry and cooking...
My blackberry also keeps track of my life and the things going on. This week I had to be somewhere everyday (except today) and I made it to all the appointments. I wasn't early, but I MADE it. I just have to remember to put the appointments in and it will all be good...
My blackberry has a button for Facebook, so I can keep tabs with my friends and not be such a loser and be left out all the time. I am having fun with it, I just need to add some pictures.
I gave up soda again, but to be perfectly honest, I dropped one bad habit and picked up another. i eat lots of chocolate now. hersheys is my favorite.
Ahhhh....this took too long. time to go! we have softball tonight!
