My Saturday afternoon as a taxi driver.

Yesterday, was crammed full of taxi driving and cheerleading.  Wake up call was 7:30.  Yep, on a Saturday. First stop was the school parking where my oldest Travis was dropped off to board the school bus to go to a Chess competition.  Then off we went with Spencer to the community Center to cheer him on while he dribbled down the court during his basketball game.  Most of the time I just shouted "Pass the Ball".  At what age do boys figure out that passing the basketball is better than hogging it?  Oh, well.  Spencer had fun.  Lost though.
Quick bathroom break and off to Jarrett's Rec. Basketball team game.  Jump shot and he made the first basket.  Way to go buddy.  His team has figured out how to pass the ball and they finished the game with a win.  Next stop, fast lunch break and off to Jarrett's next basketball game twenty minutes away with his travel league.  Mikayla, packs a bag full of toys, and Spencer and Logan grab snacks. 
So, we arrive at the Rec. Center and the parking lot is full.  I kindly ask a lady I see walking out into the parking lot where she parked, (so I could grab her spot) and her response is "I'm walking to my to car".  uhhhhhh, I know.... But where?  Can't I ever catch a break?  I patiently wait and then grab her spot.  As we walk through the slush left from the big snowstorm, Mikayla starts to fuss that the slush is getting in her Selena Gomez shoes.... I remind her that perhaps that she should have worn boots... Hmmm.  Do you think she will next time?
I go in and find a small spot on the bleachers to squeeze my bum onto.  As the kids find seats near me, one of the dads turns around and asks "how many kids do you have?' (really?  He has known me for three years and is one of my neighbors.)  Five, I response.  I can tell by the look on his face he is surprised.
Jarrett and his teammates have a great game and win.  He makes a few jump shots himself.  That's my boy.
Now we just have enough time to jump into the mommy cab and off to gymnastics we go with Jarrett, Spencer and Mikayla in tow.  Logan goes home with dad who on the way picks up Travis from the school.
We arrive at Emeth Gymnasium an hour and half later.  While Jarrett and Spencer warm up Mikayla and I stake our claim on the bleachers with our coats and bags.  Off to the refreshment stand we go with our first round of food. Mikayla has a hot dog, chips, and a brownie.  When we return to our spots, guess what?  You got it... someone took our spots.  A family from our own gym..... and they claimed my pen and score sheet. Really?  Well, the boys had great routines that night, and we made it back home just in time for the 10 o'clock news.  Shower and bed.   Need my sleep for tomorrow.

First day of Blog

I have decided to start a blog.  Why you ask?  I dont have the answer to that.  I dont even have time to blog, but decided I wanted to keep a blog of my many adventures as a stay at home mom.  I am not even sure if anyone is going to read this, but I am hoping for the best.

I have been looking around at quilting websites and have noticed a lot of quilters blog about their projects.  This is what started my spark.  I thought perhaps I could blog about the quilts my fellow quilt club members and I work on.( there is currently only two members)  Does that meet the definition of a club?  We think so.....
