Busy weekend
Happy 4th of July weekend! I hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend! Our schedule is jam packed!
Jordan and Brooklyn have their annual 4th of July Tournament that their club hosts, that means at LEAST 6 games for us, more if they make it to Championships! I have to be at the field by 7 to help with a booth for Brooklyns team, I will be working 5 hours this weekend, but the money earned will go straight to Brooklyns dues, yay!
Sydney is leaving for Las Vegas for dance Nationals on Sunday. She is going with a friend, I hate not being able to see her dance, but we just don't have the money for me to go this year :( She will be gone almost a week, I just got her back from Hawaii and she is off again! Ahhh to be young again!
We are thinking of going to the drive in on Sunday night, but Syd is sad she won't be here to go, so we may postpone that and head over to a friends house to go swimming, it is supposed to be over 100 all weekend, YUCK!
Still not sure what we are doing on Monday, waiting on my MIL to finalize plans. I;m thinking we will end up at her house, bbq and go swimming? Sounds good to me!
Happy 4th everyone!

Summertime.....
WOW!!! Summer has hit that's for sure! It had beenso nice and conmfortable....until yesterday, now it's hot and miserable! BLAH!
Lots of things going on around here! Sydney left for her Hawaii trip this morning, they should be landing in Maui in about 3 hours...I have been on pins and needles all day! She went with her Girl Scout troop and they have been raising money for the past 2 years....that's a lot of cookies!! They will be gone for a week, with lots of fun things to do while they are there! They are going snorkeling, taking The Road to Hana, riding bikes down the side of a volcano, going to a Luau and lots and lots of beach time! I miss her already, but know this is going to have such a lasting impression on her!
Jordan and Brooklyn are keeping busy with friends and soccer practice and tournaments as well. Brooklyn has had 2 tournaments the past 2 weekends, lots of driving! They did ok, still need lots of work, but they are coming along nicely. Jordans team won their tournamnet in Vegas over Memorial Day weekend, she was so excited! They both have a tournament over 4th of July weekend, but thankfully it is at our home fields....yippeee!
I may have a babysitting opportunity for the Summer, for about $100 a week, I will take it, it's just for a few hours a day, but extra money is extra money! Hopefully it all works out!
Well, I'm off to sweat out the rest of the day and get dinner going as well....grilling is the word of the week!

Trying to keep focus!
What a roller coaster! On March 28 I was in a car accidnet on my way to work...I will be ok, still off work with back and shoulder pain but pretty sure the van is a total loss.
Yes you read that right, pretty sure because it hasn't been assesed yet....UGH! The insurance company took its sweet time getting to the tow yard , computer problems and just general excuses in why it was taking so long. So fast forward to April 12...the adjuster calls me to tell me he went to check out the van only to find out that the finance company REPOSSESED IT!!! Why you ask....your guess is as good as mine! We aren't behind in payments, the insurance was trying to assess it and the only answer I'm getting from the finance company is they are "trying to protect their investment" I swear if I hear that phrase one more time in my lifetime I am going to scream! So now here we are stuck in the middle....we pay our premiums and our car note and no one knows who to blame, and we are getting screwed in the end!
I do have to say that all through this John has been a rock! I am so thankful that I have him to lean on and that he is able to keep a cool head when speaking to these idiots, because I have a tendancy to get...ummm...a bit ghetto! LOL! I just want to know who dropped the ball and where so we can go to that point and fix things, but everyone is so worried about passing the buck that it looks like nothing is going to be fixed easily!
So I am just taking it one day at a time, some days an hour at a time! That is all I can do and I know it will get taken care of somehow!

I could get used to this!
Ahhhh! I have so enjoyed my Spring Break! Not having to be anywhere until the afternoon has been a much enjoyed treat! The girls have been enjoying their time off too. Last week the weather was much more condusive to what I had planned, but hey, time off is time off right?!
Saturday I had to be in Escondido at 7 am.....have I mentioned I don't like getting up early??? Sydney had a dance competition and by some miracle she had them all in the morning and we were home by 4!!!! Unheard of, but I was happy! Tired, but happy! Sunday Jordan was supposed to have a soccer game, but it got cancelled due to impending rain....and rain it did!! Brooklyn went to a Galaxy game, where David Beckham winked at her, the highlight of her life as she says! She came home soaking wet and has been battling asthma ever since :(
I haven't gotten as far as I would like with the house, but honestly I never will!! I have, however been hanging out with the girls and playing with the puppies, that is a successful way to spend time off anyway, right??
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Spring Cleaning
It is that time of year to throw open the doors and windows and let Spring in! That is, as long as its not still storming where you are! Since we are on Spring Break for the next 2 weeks it is going to be a very busy time for the Wells Clan! :) While I'm sure the girls had visions of sleeping in and lounging their days away that is not what mama has envisioned!!! Let the cleaning & purging begin!!!
We let the puppies outside over the weekend and they did beautifully! So that is where they spend their days while they still sleep in the garage at night. It has made cleaning up after them so much easier! Saturday John and I used the Shop Vac in the garage and boy did that help!! John and Jordan also worked on the front yard, which looks fabulous! I worked on the GINORMOUS heap of laundry, and made a small dent! Afterwards the 3 of us went to Hometown Buffet to celebrate Jordans birthday sans her sisters (they were at a dance party and a Girl Scout event), it was nice to spend time with her on her own. :)
Yesterday was spent working on more laundry and then the regular dance and soccer schedule got in the way! Haha! So today I am cleaning out the front living room/dining room and am going to shampoo the rug...it really needs it!
So I'm off! Enjoy your Tuesday!
