Colorful Months

I figured that I needed some cheeriness in my little world, so I thought I would do it with color! I know that this may seem stupid and mundane to some people, but after all..... it is my website! heehee 

Today my daughter Morgan called me from school to ask if she could come home, she said that she wasn't feeling well. To quote, "after P.E.  today, I was feeling super queazy and now I am having cold like symptoms!". I had to explain to my lovely 15 year old that she hasn't run in over 2 years and that it was simply the result of being out of shape! I have to also admit to you that I was cracking up! How many of us can't relate to this feeling of "I am going to die"? She insisted that she really was sick and that she truly needed to come home. I pick her up, give her some water...... and voila! She is as good as can be! I think that I should be a doctor! The school nurse hadn't even taken her temperature!!!!!!!! I asked her if she had a fever, and she says to me, and I quote, "I don't think so..... Morgan did I take your temperature?... No, I don't think that I did, ....... Do you want me to??" I decided that Morgan was better off in my care at that point. 

Anyway, that is all I have to chat about today. Jason is focusing really hard on his game and just getting ready for the pre-qualifiers for the L.A. Open on Feb. 7th at Los Serranos in Chino Hills. I am going to be his caddy. I've been carrying around a 20lb backpack for 5 miles every couple of days so that I don't embarrass my husband by passing out on the golf course! :-) That would be a great beginning to his career, huh??

On to the next challange

OK.... Jason didn't exactly have the best golfing day ever, but found some positives to his game. After the round yesterday, he found that coming home and working out his kinks would not only save us money, but would better prepare him for the L.A. Open pre-qualifier next week. The weather in Texas was complete crap and the course was basically the same. Not that that was any excuse..... But what is that old saying..... Live and Learn!! 

We woke up this morning happy about the decision made and ready to hit the golf course to get those kinks worked out. The girls are so happy to have daddy home! Not to mention, I am happy to have daddy home!! We are going to be keeping you up to date as often as possible, BUT... for now I am going to enjoy having my family together tonight!

Practice Round

Well, today was Jason's practice round... He wasn't very happy with how he played, but like I told him, the practice rounds are for him to screw up! Mainly it gives you a good look at the course. He is regrouped and ready to take on tomorrow. He tees off at 7:39am. That is Texas time, so it will be 5:39am here! He is going to be the second one off. I wish him all the luck and love in the world! I just hope that he enjoys himself tomorrow, if nothing else!

Today is day two of my single mom adventure. It is going great, but I do have to say that I don't need to worry about being tired enough to sleep! :-) My girls are so great about pitching in and helping out. Also, they understand that I can't be everywhere at once. Which, I really appreciate! And.... if for some reason, I crack.... they are always there to pick me up. The have their teenage moments, or 5 year old moments, but all in all, I can't complain. 

I am going to go sit down and read a book while I have time to breathe. I will post how Jason does tomorrow....

This is Jason at Oak Creek Golf course. He has been practicing hard!

Our First Official Golf Tournament

Well Kids! Here we go! 24 hours from now Jason will be taking off to start on our new life in the golfing world! We are both totally excited and scared. Not really scared about not doing well, just kinda scared about the unknown. We have been thinking about this for a long time and planning for a long time, and now we've finally gotten here. Jason is one of the few men that I have met that have the work ethic and God given talent to do just about anything he wants. It is really amazing to watch. I am so proud of him! 

It's 4:30am and I am anticipating the week ahead unable to sleep. What can I do to make it great for him while he is gone and when he gets home....? These are the thoughts that woke me up at this un-Godly hour!!! Hopefully by tonight I will have figured it all out and I will be able to get some sleep!! He will be gone for 6 days. This will be the longest that we have ever been apart in our almost 6 years of marriage! I have made all of these plans of what I am going to do to occupy my days while he is gone, but I am just fooling myself! I have 3 girls that keep me extremely busy everyday and to think that when he is gone that I am going to have down time is a stupid thought! heehee  I think the wisest choice is to take this one day at a time and let fate take me where it wants. I usually have better luck when I don't think! hee hee Well....   Wish us lots of luck and good weather! We are totally excited about this!

Sea World!

Grandma Peggy was awesome enough to take us to Sea World! We had a total blast!! It was a little breezy, but other wise a beautiful day! We now have year passes and we plan on being regulars! The ocean never ceases to amaze me and scare me all in one! 

Everyone had a great time and we all chowed down on some awesome grub! Seriously, they have the best ribs there! I was told that the chicken tenders were pretty tasty too!

Forced into the Computer Age!

Alright everyone! Here goes nothing! 

Currently, I am getting ready to caddy for Jason in the pre-qualifier for the LA Open. Have any of you walked five miles with 25 lbs. haning on your back?? Not exactly the easiest thing that I have ever done! But... most definitely easier than running 2 miles!!! heehee I think that having 3 children and having been a packing mule for all of these years has made this... carrying my husband clubs around... the next progression in my cavewoman like life. All joking aside, I am loving the opportunity to be a part of Jason's new career. It's really fun being out there and having something in common to talk about. Gossiping about losers is only fun for so long... heehee!!! 

All of my girls are doing great! They are my bestest buddies and so cool and funny! Of course, we being girls, have our moments of "hormonal imbalance", plus, I am a mom first!! Having said that, we have a great time. Each one has their own places in my heart. Morgan is extremely witty and easy going, Britt is freakin' funny and smart, and Kirsten is so funny and adorable. They have their down sides, but I choose to not list those.... I am feeling very confident that it is a "phase" and will soon grow out of it to become strong, independent, successful women. :-) 

I can't think of anything else to post for right now, but if I get inspired, I will quickly jump onto my computer and feed my useless thoughts to you. I know that you just can't wait.....
