I haven't posted in a little while.

I would sit here and flip my fingers through the proverbial filing cabinet in my mind. All the file folders near the front (or stacked right on top) of my mental files were whines and complaints. Skimming over the pages of my complaint, I would then lack any energy to look further back in the files for happy things to share. So, I've stayed quiet. Wallowed in my own unease and read other blogs but not commenting. I figured I'd likely only sound whiny and miserable.

So, here's my one sentence of complaint:

My air conditioner is broken.

Ok..now that I got that out of my system. Let me try for some happier thoughts.

☺I have happy children. They have been good sports through they heat and haven't been complaining and whining.

☺I had a very nice mother's day. My mom came over for dinner and my almost 3 yr-old chatted with her through the entire visit. He adores her so much.

☺The Suns won game four of their series against the Spurs to tie it up 2-2. They got home court back.. Yay!

☺I love my husband. In all the chaos and misery I feel encased in lately, he has been kind and sympathetic. He is so supportive and I appreciate him.

☺The Cub Scout fund raiser we had tonight went extremely well. So many people came to support the boys. I hope they understand how loved they are.

☺Our good friend is trying to rush through our refinancing to help us get a new AC as fast as possible.

☺We own a house. Despite any and all financial difficulties we struggle with, I am so grateful for our home and the security it provides.

A Funny

FlipFlop Momma is expecting her third child. She posted this a couple of days ago and I love it! It isn't even one I laughed at..I simply nodded my head and though..just wait until numbers four and five. So, go enjoy it!

Oh and the Suns lost today. So, I am officially...bummed.

Spring Sports

Soccer season ended for the kids about a week ago. I have been remiss in posting soccer pictures this season. This spring the kids received orange shirts. Personally, I can think of very few reasons to ever wear such a color again, but thankfully the kids are not so picky. Let's revel in all their orange soccer glory:

There is a freeway on the other side of the retaining wall in the background. The wall does a good job of blocking out the noise.

Yes, I blanked out the face of the kid in the front, she doesn't really have a no-face disease.
Doesn't Little Bear look like she is running fast on the left side of the picture?

The park where the games are held is a great park. They have full playground and picnic areas on the other end of the fields. They also have a community center with a gym and classes.

These are my soccer kids. They make me the soccer mom I am.

No game would be complete without snacks afterward. It's the little boys favorite part.



My mom came out the last week and brought her new puppy. (The one mentioned in previous posts.) This is Dash, isn't he adorable?

There, I've given the obligatory (so I preserve the memories as much as anything..) post about spring soccer season. Coming this fall: Fall Soccer Season!

Now it is time for swimming to start. I signed up my Little Bear for early classes this year. She wants to be part of the Swim Team but I have doubts on her ability to past the basic requirements for it. So, on this gorgeous 75 F degree afternoon she gets to get in the pool. Poor little skinny thing, I wasn't expecting unseasonably cool weather. It should be in the 90's by Thursday tho.

SUNS REPORT

The Suns won yesterday,95-87 beating the Lakers. It was tougher than should be, but unlike the Mavericks and Spurs at least they got their win. AND Leandro Barbosa a point guard on the Suns was announced as the winner of the leagues Sixth Man Award, very cool!

Suns Time

For those who do not know, I am a huge Suns fan. And now the playoffs are here. YAY!!

I am such a fan, I have in the past Tivo'ed a game and then avoided all mention of it on the radio so that I could watch it with no knowledge of the outcome.

I am such a fan that I almost named my youngest son Nash. (Ok not true at all...)

Sure there are bigger fans than I am, but I attest that is only because they have more money available to express such fandom than I do. LOL

So, here's the schedule: Suns are playing the Lakers first round and the Mavericks are playing the Nuggets.

I am very excited. My Suns have teased me for many years with the chance at the Championship, this year more than ever. I have high hopes, but know better than to expect everything.

Wish my guys luck! Wish me luck at actually getting to see the games!
