I breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when the ER called me to tell me that there wasn’t bacteria growing in her sample. Does that mean it was a contaminated sample? If so, how did it get contaminated? I cleaned her myself with the little toilette they give you. Of course, I was holding a squirming 15 month old for part of it, til I handed her off to Jordan. So, that means that all that gloom and doom from that doctor was uncalled for. There are not tests to be run. Katiana is fine. Yep, like I needed to worry about my 3 year old being on dialysis 3 times a week by the time she’s 13 on top of everything else that’s going on right now. YAY for Kat though!
Jordan had soccer practice last night and it was actually nice enough out that I could get the girls out of the car. They got to swing for over an hour! Woohoo them! They were so happy to be outside playing again.
And can I give you a piece of advice if it’s nice but wet out? Don’t wear flip flops. I was wearing my goldish yoga pants and one of those old school baseball type shirts. You know the white ones with the colored sleeves. (I was all color coordinated, the sleeves matched my pants. LOL) Anyways, so there’s this hill you have to go up to get to the soccer fields. When we first got there, I had to get out and go sign the good sportsman ship form and tell the coach’s wife that I was going to go grab supper. Going up the hill was great. When I went back to the car, I was on my way down the hill, started slipping, caught my balance, but kind of stomped in this more mud than puddle in the squishy grass. Dude, I had mud all over my feet, up the back of my pants, and covering the back of my shirt. I looked pretty. When I got back from grabbing dinner, I got the girls out to swing. I got a couple of funny looks from other moms and had to keep explaining that flip flops were not the ideal choice of shoes for soccer practice when it’s wet out.
You know, can I tell you that my son losing stuff is getting to the point of ridiculous. I bought him a brand new pair of Adidas cleats right before this season started. He wore them a total of 2 times to practices. Not even games. Time for the scrimmage last Saturday, he can’t find one cleat. We both are searching the house. I’m searching in odd places that my children throw shoes. While he’s searching in obvious places, where he usually takes his shoes off. No go. He’s blaming it on Katiana because he had her carry his cleats in from the last soccer practice. I’m blaming it on him because he should take responsibility for his important things and not leave that to a 3 year old. At this point, I’m pretty sure that Kat has dropped it in the parking lot on the way in. And I’m fuming. I pulled out his old cleats from last season. He flipped out, crying. He hates those shoes, they hurt his feet. Well, yeah they probably do. Turns out last season he wore a 13 1/2. This season he’s wearing a 3. When I say last season, I don’t mean last year this time, I mean last fall season. 6 months ago or so. Jordan had a serious growth spurt finally. (I always giggle because he’s always had small feet – when he was Kat’s age he wore a size 5, which is the size that Alyce wears and is almost growing out of now. So, do my girls have big feet, or does Jordan have little feet. LOL) He whined all the way to the scrimmage. I asked Kim (the coach’s wife) if Jordan could wear his tennis shoes just for the scrimmage. She said no problem. So, I left him there, turned around, went home, grabbed his shoes. Went back, braved hurricane force winds with the girls to carry them out onto the field for him. Ok, they weren’t really hurricane force, but Alyce couldn’t catch her breath in it.
Came home, searched for the shoe again after the scrimmage, nothing. Well, he has to have cleats to play. And like I said, I was worried Kat dropped it in the parking lot. So, I get online and order him a new pair of cleats. Got him a pair of David Beckham Jr adidas this time. They are really cool. White and gold. His other new cleats are blue and gold, they were rather cool too. I just looked and they are the same shoe, just in different colors, both the David Beckham Jr Absolado cleat.
These are the ones I just ordered him.
These are the ones he just got before that.
So, he’s in the shoe closet searching for his shin guards right. Because my son can never put his stuff back where it goes, he has to put them wherever. Even after I say, Jordan, take off your shoes, you shin guards, put them in your soccer bag with your goalie gloves. Guess what he finds??? His other cleat buried underneath stuff that I swear I looked through when I was searching for his shoe. I told him when the white ones get here, I’m sending them back. I put them on my charge card because I don’t have a lot of cash right now with Pato being gone. Oh but he loooves the white one, they are David Beckham shoes. Well, lo and behold, so are the blue ones. So, you can just be a fan in the blue ones as easy as the white ones. LOL Jordan wants to be David Beckham when he grows up. That and a police officer on the canine unit.
I did find him a goalie jersey on clearance for $9.97, which is cheap that I grabbed because last season he was trying to wear Pato’s. Do you know how big Pato is? LOL It hung way over his soccer shorts. He wants new goalie gloves because his have been rather used, and I said he’s going to have to wait until dad gets back. I can’t get everything right now, the old ones are going to have to work. They don’t have holes in them, just some wear and tear, ya know?
I thought I was being smart last night when we got home and I called Jordan’s dad to ask him to get Jordan on Saturday instead of Sunday. Sunday is Kat’s birthday and with daddy gone, I wanted Jordan to be here with us all day. I told Jordan his dad was getting him on Saturday and he said I have a game on Saturday. So, I check the schedule, most of games are at 5:30, his dad drops him off at 4, plenty of time to get to the game. Not this Saturday. His game is at 2:30. His dad picks him up at 10. He’d have to drop him off at 1:30, Jordan would have to be ready to go, cleats on, everything when he got here. Not going to work. I don’t want him to not have his normal amount of time with his dad. So, I’m going to have to call him back and ask him if he’ll get him the next Sunday instead.
I talked to my mom last night and she said it was ok if I brought the cake I was making for her birthday out to her house so that Kat could be with grandma and grandpa on her birthday too. I wasn’t going to have her big party until Pato got home. Now I’m wondering if that isn’t a bad idea. Seeing as we have no idea when Pato will get home. Oh well, we’ll open presents here on Sunday, go out to my mom’s and I have a coupon for Chuck E Cheese from when they screwed up at Jordan’s birthday party. It’s for a large pizza, 4 drinks, and 100 tokens. I think I’ll take the kids there Saturday night after the game so she can feel like we did something for her birthday like we did for Jordan’s.
Well, that’s about it on my end today. I was going to do the link tag that was on Amanda’s blog today, but I’ve already made this so long. I think I’ll do that tomorrow.
Oh! one more thing! Remember this layout? It was featured this month in the Artisan notebook! How neat is that? It was featured under black and white and described as a freestyle layout. I was just so tickled pink! I also found out that one of my former CT members Amy B had a layout published in Digital Scrapbooking Magazine that had one of my flowers on it. The little things that make me happy. ROFL It was just so neat seeing my name in print. Well, I haven’t technically “seen” it yet, since God only knows where my issue of DSM is this month, but I heard. I have a 2 year subscription to DSM, and it just started last November. So, I’m pretty sure my subscription is still good.
