No fortune... Good or bad?

The magic of technology is amazing. Logan started in his first baseball game today and I am watching, play by play, via live streaming through the school's website. I hate that I can't be at each and every game, but so glad I can watch and not miss out on too much. Currently, they are up 5-3 against Wheeling (Jesuit), bottom of the 5th. This could be his team's first win of the season with his first start. How amazing would that be!

I have started making a list of ideas and things as they come to mind that I would like to blog about. I have a few things, but, like when you are dreaming and you wake in the night hoping to remember what you dreamt about, I sometimes lose what I wanted to blog about and look at the list and wonder why the hell I wrote that down. LOL. 

I went live on my personal FB account the other night. Magnus and Sheamus were in rare form on a Friday night and I SWEAR by the witching hour that is 8:00. A simple game of living room football can never be just that. It always ends in a wrestling match of some kind, shirts off and swear words before the tears. They are so competitive with each other, no matter the age. I may have even written about this before, but all hell breaks loose. And to my luck, Ryan just started afternoons, which means that he leaves for work at noon and works until midnight. I hate nights without him home. I swear they gang up on me and have a conference behind my back, scheming who can ask for the most stuff. They have signs for each other or something for when I sit down to do anything or try to get something done. And when that 8:00 hour hits, they have lost all of their minds and all of the feelings and cravings and reserved energy for the day escapes them in unison and it is like taming wild animals. They feed off of each other. One will act a fool and lose their mind while the others think it is friggin' HILARIOUS, which then makes that one act MORE of a fool and Mom to LOSE. HER. MIND. Cue ALL the threats, of grounding and loss of electronic use, no snacks before bed, whatever. I speak is tongues at that point and don't remember what I even threaten half the time. It typically ends with someone in tears and Mom feeling like the biggest piece of shit on the ground. Boop has practice today and I will pre-emptively set the tone for the evening and make sure they know what's up and what's not. lol. Here's to hopefully a calm evening. 

We got Chinese food the other day for lunch at work and like always, we received fortune cookies with them. I picked mine when I grabbed my food, as you never hand them out, you always pick your own from the pile. I cracked mine at the end of my meal and there was nothing in it. This got me wondering... is no fortune in your fortune cookie a sign of bad luck or is it the opposite and a sign of good luck? Am I reading too much into it or is it really the saying that if you didn't have bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all? 

I started my second session of this Spring term and have already made my list for the week. I got all of the assignments done earlier in the one class so what remains is for only for one. I hope to have it all complete by Wednesday, since it is a short week and we are off Thursday and Friday for the Easter break. We had a semi-impromptu game night this past Saturday and I actually got a compliment on my clean bathroom. Imagine that... there wasn't pee on the seat. 

Enjoy a few pictures of: Cookies we decorated at a class this past weekend. It was so nice, so relaxing and so fun. Can't wait for the next one!

One of the cats (Thor) and new dog co-existing. That's it. Not peacefully. Baby steps. At least there was no barking or hissing. 

Magnus doing his happy dance because I brough home Doritos and Root Beer. Easily amused. 








**Update, Logan's team took a giant crap and lost 10-5 in the last inning.**

This week's... Deanna Rose...

 Another day, another week, another blog to spill my guts about nonsense. Yesterday was the Solar Eclipse. 🌗 I didn't think I would give a single care about it, however, looking through our sweet little glasses 😎 and watching the coverage of the sun, witnessing how dark it got outside, mid-day, was actually quite neat. I saw only a few videos that showed complete coverage, and that would have been really cool to witness. Didn't think I would care much, but ended up being a lot cooler than I imagined. Saturday and Sunday was Wrestlemania 40 and my kids had ALL of the emotions, both days. We have been watching wrestling in our house now for at least 12 years, consistently. I don't that there is an end in sight. Thankfully, there have been minimal wrestling related injuries. Time will tell... hopefully I didn't just jinx myself.          This week I start my weekly dedication blogs. I don't have a set schedule and they are in no particular order, so hopefull...

Have kids, they say....

 Wednesday. I am TWO days late and I am trying to get this out before I forget for another day. What a day. What a last 10 days. What a life, huh? I could write multiple posts in one week on just the oldest child and the trials we have faced since he went to college. But I feel like he would be super mad at me if I called him out in that way, so I'll save it all for a day he REALLY pisses me off. 😝     We finished up basketball and wrestling officially. Dryden has his Sectional tournament on Saturday but unfortunately fell short from progressing to the next round. He was upset at first, but has since relished in the fact that he can now eat whenever and whatever he wants and doesn't have to watch his diet for 8 months. Lol. Boop finished up basketball Sunday evening. His team won on Saturday to take them to the Championship Sunday, but unfortunately, the other team pressed HARD the entire game and they had about 7 more kids on their bench so the chances on them tiring an...

No rest for the wicked... Literally...

       Life has been CHAOS lately and I don't even know where to begin. I thought for sure it would slow down with basketball and wrestling being over, but alas, it has not.      We finally finished basketball on Thursday for the Championship game. Magnus, unfortunately, couldn't play in it because he tested positive for Influenza A and a right ear infection... less than 3 weeks after having Influenza B. His fever was as high as 104.8 and we were freaking out. None of my kids have ever gone that high with a fever and we were thinking the worst, being that he had just been sick. I don't want to say that I am thankful that it was Influenza, but my mind was put at peace knowing there was a reason. This is the first year that we didn't get the boys flu shots and I feel like we learned our lesson. His neurologist said that we should get them every year, especially because a high fever can reduce a seizure threshold. Safe to say we were watching him like a h...
