Life is so chaotic right now to say the least. Here's a quick overview of what I am doing right now...I am currently teaching full time(40 min from home), coaching softball, enrolled in 3 classes at ULM, have a high maintenance 18 month old=) and a beautiful 2 month old. Scott of course works, coaches Braden and will find pretty much any excuse to get out of the house(ex: tonight hes got the boys at the ULM basketball game). The coaching has been non stop for the past 2 years. It started with t-ball then straight to fall soccer then spring soccer back to tball then this fall we added flag football(along with soccer) then straight to basketball and now we are back to soccer. Did I mention he is the HEAD coach of every team...I'm glad he enjoys it and he's great with the kids but sometimes it's a little much. On top of all that he referees in his free time...haha. So I guess the point in telling you all this about the coaching is that this leaves me with the kids...alone...sometimes. Its not fun being out numbered!!! Well I don't think Scott really understood why I would complain about him being gone...that is until last night. I had a softball game about an hour away. When I got in the car I saw I had a missed call from Scott. I called him back and this is how the conversation went:
Scott: Where are you???
Me: Just getting in my car. (I hear both kids fussing in background) How's it going? (With a smile on my face b/c I pretty much new)
Scott: You need to get home. He's(Easton) is being a pain in the butt and she(Isabelle) cries every time I sit down.
Me: Has Easton had a bath? (It was 8:00...just wondering)
Scott: Real funny(he wasn't laughing) How amI supposed to do that when she won't let me put her down.
So I went on to explain how i would do it. Well, when I got home 45 min later he still hadnt had a bath. I knew it was bad when i saw Scott was still in his work clothes. The first thing he always does when he gets home is get out of those clothes in to something more comfortable. So i think my wonderful husband will be a little more understanding when I complain about him being gone a couple nights a week. Don't get me wrong, he has been great. Adjusting to 2 kids(actually 3) has been challenging but he's been a great help. Easton has become his little buddy and even though he's still a mommas boy he loves that he gets to go with daddy much more aften.
