I need a cleaning fairy!!!!

My life seems to be more crazy then ever. We recently finished the baseball season with Evan as a Mariner and Collin as a Brave. We had fun but 3 days a week at the baseball field plus make up games due to the rainy spring we have had makes for no time to catch up on cleaning my house. I thought once baseball ended I would have time....... boy was I wrong! Evan had a baseball camp at the University of Utah and then the following week he went to Cub Country (I will blog on that later, oh Boy Scouts) Collin started up his swim lessons again and, and, and and........! This week was Girls camp so this is a break down of how my week went......

Monday (Day OFF of Work) I should have cleaned but it was my day off soooooo off to lunch with my sisters and then to the pool and then home to clean up and go have dinner at the park with Daddy.

Tuesday - Wake up to a messy house, go to work by 8:30am worked until 3pm, home to get ready to go up to girls camp. Stop at smiths for items that my young women need at East Canyon, enjoy camp with the wasatch 9th ward. On the way home I realize that Evan has Cub Country at 8:00am and I need to have his shirt ready, lunch and water bottle packed before I go to bed so I have to stop at store on my way home from camp at 11:30pm get lunch stuff, make lunch get everything ready and shower off the camp smoke and finally get to bed by 12:30pm. (House is still Messy)

I HATE CANCER!!!!!

Let me just start by saying I am usually not to mushy so watch out......

I feel the need to write down my feelings about a sweet family that is fighting the battle of cancer for their 7 year old son. As I read their blog and the struggles they endure and the new twists and turns of this battle my heart truly aches for them. I wish there was something I could do. Why does this happen? It is amazing how quickly life can change and how real everything becomes. After hearing about this family and their sweet boy I want to run home and hug my own 7 year old son and my 4 year old son and tell them I love them. I want to try and not get so frustrated with them and try not to get mad at them as often and just be a better mom, because who knows how long I will have them and be able to hold them and play with them. My plan is to get old and go to heaven way before they do but sometimes bad things happen and that plan could totally change. I want to express my love for my kids. They really are the light of my life. They make me laugh and love life. They are the reason I am who I am and I see now my purpose for my life..... It is to be their Mom. I was never quite sure what my purpose was here on this earth but I have just had a light bulb moment. It is to BE A MOM! WOW! That is great. So I will cherish the time I have with my sons and I will continue to try and be the best mom I can be. I do not promise to be perfect but damn it, I am going to really try. I love you Evan and Collin. Thank you Matt for giving the best gift of all. I know it took some convincing on your part but now I am so thankful you did. I love my family!

If you want to read about this incredible family and the journey they are on go to their blog http://www.mysuperspence.blogspot.com/.

Also if anyone has any ideas I would love to do something for this family maybe a fundraiser or something. Let me know.

Handicap Parking Spaces or Poop Signs?

Collin had a dentist appointment today and must have still been a little out of it because when I parked my car in my work parking lot and let him out the first thing he said when he saw the handicap sign painted on the ground was "Mom, why is there a poop sign on the ground".

Of Course I had a good laugh!!!
