#thestruggleisreal tonight

In about an hour, my Tigers are starting their game in LA against the Angels. The problem you may ask...my friend Matt is pitching for the Angels tonight. What is a girl to do???? Well, I'll be cheering for Matt to do well as long as he's in the game....and then when the bullpen takes over (maybe), I'll cheer for my Tigers....unless, Matt is going for them win, then I guess I'll be an Angel/Shoemaker fan for the night.

Go Matt! Go Tigers! The struggle is real folks! 

Calm after the Chaos!

   I have been really fortunate the last 3 years to have my kids go to school next door to each other.  While that is great, the traffic, well, it sucks!  I'll say that the most stress in my life has been during Pick up and Drop off at their schools.  There have been times that I could lose my testimony there, and I think I've said "moron" a few too many times!   I swear, people lose their minds and forget simple things like what to do at a 4 way stop!!  It's CRAZY!!!!

   As crazy as that time is, I love the calm in my house when we get home from school.  My kids love their rooms and honestly, I think they need the time to unplug.  They need solitude after being with 500+ kids all day.  I've worked in both of their schools, and if you remember your own school experience...it's LOUD in there!!! 

   I don't blame them a bit.  They both get a snack, hug on me for a bit (or sit next to me while I write this ) and then head to their rooms.  It's quiet. It's peaceful. It's good for their souls.

   Or maybe, they are dying to play on their phones, watch Netflix or play video games.  Either way, the quiet is nice! :)

I think my blog has abandonment issues...

...and I don't blame it.  I start a blog with every intention of keeping it up...writing every little thing that comes into my head, but the next thing I know, it's been a year since I posted.  Oy!!!

   Things in the Pew household are crazy...school is letting out soon (10 wake ups left), BSF and MOPS are done for the year (I like acronyms apparently), our pup just found himself missing his manhood, and SUMMER is almost here!!!  Summer means, grad parties, showers (wedding and bridal), dance recitals, choir practices, BBQ's, baseball and all the outdoor things.

   I will try to blog more...I think it's a good outlet for me....we shall see.........
