Workin' hard for the money

It's Wednesday, June 25, and after much prodding from my dear friend Lisa, I'm starting a blog. Right now I'm sitting in the Kansas City heat having a garage sale. If anyone tells you that Wednesday is "the best" garage sale day, don't believe them.

We've got a ton going on right now, so I'll make this one short. Here's what our week looks like. This post will be pretty boring, but sometime soon I'll hand this over to my mom who will keep it updated with stories about the boys and pictures, etc. Right now I'm in tactical mode with everything that has to happen.

Thursday - Jen's last day at Sprint and the boys' last day at their preschool (I can't even believe it). So tonight I have to make cookies for them to take to school. When that's going to happen is beyond me. If anyone knows anyone who wants to buy a boat lift TONIGHT, that would save us some work :-) Oh, and the boys have T-ball Thursday night, too.

Friday - Brayden's 5th birthday! And his last day of summer school kindergarten and Nate's last day in Grain Valley. Again, so hard to believe. MiMi and Pa will be here Friday night and we're going to go see the Cardinals beat the Royals at Kauffman with a big fireworks spectacular to top off Bubba's BD.

Saturday - Brayden's BD party! Uncle Mutt and the kids (Nathan, Ben, Jillian, Hannah) and aunt Snephanie and Mazy and Ele are coming into town and we're going to watch the Cards whip the Royals again on Saturday night. This will be the Coatney kids' first Cards game, and I'm so excited to get to take them.

Sunday - Nate and I head to Bentonville to check out the situation and find a place to live!

So that's it. Not much going on around here. I'm now looking at all of this stuff in my driveway wondering what to do with it all, as I'm ready to close up shop and call this garage sale a done deal.

What if your kids don't like water?

I remember vividly driving home down I-435 one day in 2003. I was pregnant with Brayden and talking to Karen on the phone. Just before I hit the Grandview Triangle, Karen says, "So what are you going to do if the baby doesn't like the water?" Now let me pontificate for just a minute. This is what I love about our dear friends. They call it like they see it. No holds barred. If your best friends can't be straight up with you, then who can? I know that many people don't understand this, for instance, the time Shawn told me I was not holding off my baby weight very well (in fact, I was pregnant with Beau and Shawn just found out). And Karen trying to help me come to grips with the reality that I may have children that don't like water. . . So I remember that day my immediate and very matter-of-fact response was, "That's not an option." Seriously, people, can you imagine Nate and me having kids who DON'T like the water? It's a way of life f...

Heading across country

The boys giggle in bed. Nate checks directions for tomorrow. And I update the blog. We fit our family roles to a tee. Tonight we are in Jackson, Mississippi (M-I-SS-I-SS-I-PP-I). Brayden knows how to spell Mississippi. We're more than half way toward our final destination of Destin, Florida. If all goes well we'll be there by just after lunch tomorrow. Every day for the past three months Beau has asked if today is the day for vacation. And today was the day! My dad was absolutely as excited as Beau. I hear he (Dad) hasn't slept well in two nights just thinking about it. Those two are like two peas in a pod. I can't wait to get to the condo and for them, Brayden, Mazy and Ele to head off to the beach. How much fun there is waiting for us. So I'll try to post some while we're away. I don't know if I'll have a connection. I sooo miss working at Sprint in times like this. It's hard to live without an air card once you get used to being always connected. ...
