What the heck is going on in my house? This week this house is the hormone house. I think some people don't think of boys being as hormonal as girls but let me tell you....hormones are raging! And with Leah Beth's thyroid thing she is ahead on her hormone level which puts her about the same as Andrew so with the three of them and me this house has been upside down! Let me explain....it began Sunday night with LB-can't sleep. Monday morning I felt like I had a newborn being woke oh about 20 times with this terrible cry "I CAN'T SLEEP" I'm thinking neither can the rest of us now! Lisa came Monday to work and we began training for her new job responsibilities and the weekend shoots. My head was so blurry and hopefully I was nice. I can't really remember.
2nd Monday after school Blake looses his wrestle off. (If you not in the wrestling world...I'll try and explain. The wrestling team has a wrestle off before the upcoming meet. The player wrestles all the people on his team in the same weight class. The wrestler that wins then gets to wrestle varsity and represent his team in that weight class at the upcoming meet. All the other wrestlers will wrestle JV) So Blake has won every wrestle off the whole middle school season and he loose the very last one. WHAT!!! All that practice and practice and practice. OH Well! A very frustrating week for Blake because he now has to leave the varsity spot that he has had all season and not wrestle for the championship. He will however get to wrestle JV-(but my saying that didn't seem to help).
I know this blog is getting LONG...I will try and hurry!
3rd Andrew and his girl decided to break up. (For those of you that have opinions on crushes and don't allow your middle school to have crushes...I don't really want any opinions on the subject this week. We feel like it is a normal and natural part of life-heck we already have C's husband picked out!) Any ways although he says he doesn't care....and they both wanted "to like other people"...there has been a strange quietness with my most talkative boy.
4th Steve has worked 6AM until 10 PM all week and is limiting his diet...He's tired, frustrated, and enough said! He managed to still get me a laptop this week though!!! (Thank you honey for working so hard!) So any extra help he is with running children has fallen on me. Thank goodness my work load is much lighter than the fall. It's funny how the Lord always seems to bless us in that way. When my work load is heavy his always seems much lighter and when mine is lighter his seems heavy.
5th We found out LB has strep. This explains the mental break downs every single day all week long. Thank goodness we know she just isn't loosing it. I even yelled at her this week. I never ever yell at my kids....this parenting with love didn't work too well this week! I needed instant gratification..(it didn't work)
6th I think I might just have a pity party for myself today. My hormones seem a little out of place too. I just want to eat chocolate and cry. I miss my kids. I hate the first week back of school when they and daddy have been home. I get spoiled to having everyone around me. After we went to see Zach (our nephew) off for his mission farewell. Blake did the math and let me know it's only 70 months until he leaves on his mission. UGH...why does he like math so much. That seems a lot different than 6 years (or does it) OH well at least it's not 6 months. But I am glad he is thinking about it!

What a week!!!
William leaves for his mission in 36 months.
36.
That is about 1000 days. Yesterday I did his laundry and made his bed. Like he was alittle kid. This morning I went to go see if he was still sick he said he was and that he threw up during the night. then as I left the room he goes, "Hey mom. THanks for making my bed."
He noticed!!!
Only 1000 days left with him!!!
Do you guys get Martin Luther King day off on the 21st?
At least you could get a play day then.
I know our days of fhe with only 6 kids between us seem so far from today. I miss it a little!!!
Hang in there and try to survive your crazy weekend ahead!! If you get this hormone thing figured out, let me know before we hit it full throttle.
Many many things. Not in order.
I am so sorry about A. And puh-leeze, when they like a girl (and the girl likes him), you can't talk them out of it. I am case in point (husband was 3rd grade boyfriend and can still tell you in detail how I broke up with him and gave him his boyscout keychain back) and my SON, well let's just say that there is Caroline and only Caroline and they were - what - five? But it is rotten to go thru (for him, for you, for the girl) and I am sorry and wish speedy "recovery" for him. He is so awesome. As are all your kids. Tell him Finley still loves him mostest. Except for that robot that burps. She loves it a wee bit better.
Regarding when Blake goes on his Mission - that made my heart pang. Really, we all have such a short time with our kids, don't we? I am still in that little kid land that seems like will last forever - including the fact that Eli told me this morning that he and his wife and kids are going to live with us in this house (so, see? Caroline will be less than five miles away). John said he was getting OUT of this house and was planning on living in a firetruck. Can't win, eh?
Leah Beth = Finley.
Hormones have kicked in starting at 3 around here. She is hot/cold wildly dramatic...I can't keep up. She exhausts me some moments and delights me the rest. Remember that I was (WAS?) such the dramatic youth to my parents and now I am just the biggest Momma's girl ever.
We love ya, Gretchy Poo. Call if you need me to bring you some chocolate on your bad days. Not that I have any stashed away, of course, because that would NOT be on my diet, I mean....
YOWZIE!! ok, sheilding off all hormones! Thankfully our home is running smoothly. I hope I didnt just jinx myself. Yes, chocolate and carbs are a great cure all. I was feeling like you a few months prior with Spencer. I was real sad.Especially, since he will be a senior. I am also excited for him and what is coming up, just selfish I guess.
