Football, Soccer and Strep Throat!

This has been one of those weeks! Okay, who am I kidding, all our weeks are one of those weeks.
Here is a brief synopsis:
Monday-School for all of us, and no practices! Jack saying his throat hurt.
Tuesday- School for all of us and football practice. Jack still saying his throat hurt.
Wednesday- School for Jack, gymnastics for Bailey, lunch at Jack's school, finding out my son has been a little toot in the bathroom at school again (a continual problem) , Jack not only saying his throat hurt but that he didn't want to swallow a brownie, Doctor visit for Jack who had strep throat. I guess I should believe him next time he says his throat hurts. This was the third time in less than a year that he has had strep and all three times I tended not to believe him for a few days. First soccer practice for Bailey who is being coached by her daddy.
Thursday- School for all but Jack who stayed with Memaw and G-dad, who happened to be in town. Football practice and yes Jack went because he had been on antibiotics for 24 hours and he felt fine. Connor and I went to my Room Mother's Meeting at Jack's school, Greg went to a meeting after football with a man who had contacted him about this job that sounded to good to be true. If it sounds to good it probably is!
Friday- School for Jack, running errands from 9:00 until 2:55 when we picked up Jack. Bailey was awesome and Connor was a real trooper smiling until the end! Home for Connor to finally nap from 3:45 to 5:30 when I woke him up to go and meet Daddy for dinner. Greg and the older kids went to the Pearce football game. Mommy put Connor to bed and read 10 chapters in a good book. Peace and Quiet!!!
Saturday- Greg works at the bank, Jack had a football game at 10. Bailey had Ashlyn's birthday party at 3. Bailey and mommy went shopping for a while after the party. Cooked out Hamburgers. Greg went to watch the Nebraska game with Chris Milegar. Kids in bed. Mommy has time to herself.

In the middle of all the craziness, my mom is dealing with several serious issues with my Grandparents. The kids have been so great about praying not only for Granny and Papa, but also for Mimi "who takes care of granny and papa." Bailey asked me today on our outing if Mimi was really tired from taking so much care of granny and papa. I told her I was sure Mimi was really tired.
We are so blessed that all we have to deal with is our crazy busy schedule. There are so many people that are dealing with much more serious issues.
Here is our prayer list from tonight:
Aunt Nicole and her mommy
Granny and Papa
Mimi
Ginger (Memaw's friend)
Penny in heaven (this one comes up at least once a week)
Mommy, Daddy, Connor


Jack is really looking more like a football player these days! His team the Panthers tied the Cowboys. Jack is the one bending over growling!
