I am exhausted. Sometimes I feel as if the only thing I do is referee the boys knock downs! Right now Nate and Jax are separated because they just can't seem to get along. I have a no tolerance policy in this house. I HATE fighting and nastiness.
The entire night at the ball fields I had to repremand Nate and Jax. It makes me so incredibly angry. They were just about to regain their trips to the snackbar and they had to blow it and lost that privilege for yet another week. Zach is the only one who gets to eat there tomorrow night - barring he doesn't blow it, too! It is the one thing I can take away that really hurts the boys. They love the snack bar. Love it, love it, love it. Finally I have some ammo!
So, I asked the boys to tell me 2 things they liked about eachother. Guess what? I got so impatient with their "I dunno" response that I split them apart and told them that they had better have some good answers for me in the morning!
Mommy needs a time out!
Zach is helping me get the trash out and things picked up. Tomorrow is our last baseball game for about 3 weeks. We will have practice but that is it. It will be nice not to have to be at the fields 7X a week for a few weeks.
I am dropping off my car to get it fixed up tomorrow. The Suburban should be done soon and both cars will have new owners. I am really excited for this to happen. I wish I could get the cars to them yesterday!
Spring break is days away. We are going to the Angels Game on Saturday and going out to the desert for 3 days during the week with friends. It will be a nice break.
The dogs need groomed and trimmed. I think I am going to have a service come to me and have it done here at the house. It is really stressful for Hobie to be away all day.
Well, off to do my chores now that the "endless witching hours" are over.
I hope you all have a wonderful night and great day tomorrow!

A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!

You would never believe some of the knock down, drag outs my brother and I had. Boys will be boys. Hang in there, they'll be 21 eventually! ;-)
Oh I hate when my boys fight likethat but it is almost every day. I always tell them some day they will be so happy to have each other.
I always use a mobile groomer. My Lola freaks out if she has to leave the house.
Have a great break. No one deserves it more than you!
