KACKY's Journal

Just ran around like a maniac last night cleaning and doing laundry since we have company coming over - Party Central!  We never have people over and with all that's been going on 2 nights last weekend we had company past midnight and now tonight.  I'm wore out.  Our friends Pat & Karen watched Jimmy while we were at the wake and they have 2 kids (boy and girl).  Shayne is 10 and Nicole is 6 (5 wks older than Jimmy).  Shayne is like Dennis the Menis, remember him?  Well he has gotten better but that is who he reminds me of and acts like really.  I hate when they come over cuz the kids have no manners or respect.  Jimmy's room turns into a mess and there are always broken toys.  

We've tried to get together with them 2 other times and we had to cancel so tonight is the night.  I have to volunteer for bingo at Jimmy's school for 2 hrs though, should be home before 8pm which is ok cuz Pat doesn't get home till after 5 and he wants to cut the grass, etc.  Looks like another late night, can't wait to sleep in tomorrow but tomorrow is also gonna be Day 1 of My New Goal/Challenge , 34 days till Disney so I'm gonna set up a goal to exercise everyday till Disney!  Plus I'm gonna eat much healthier.  As long as I can get the exercise in I will be ok.  I know I can do it, I have to do it no matter what to get back on track and feel my best.  Hubby said he will cut back on drinking well he will drink tonight of course then not again till next weekend 1 day since we will be meeting up with other friends at their house.  I worry about him drinking too much and his health after all that we went thru with his Dad.  I want Jim to be around for a very long time and of course myself so I need to do this for me.

Last night was pretty scary, I'm cleaning, Jimmy playing inside and Jim out in the garage.   His "Older" sister Kim calls so Jim has to pick up her 2 other kids from her cuz she is headed to the hospital cuz her oldest son who is 14 got knocked out at practice and landed on his head, rushed to hospital - wtf???  What next right?  You always think the worse.....  It all turned out ok, no damage but man was that scary.  A team mate close lined him, he flipped and landed on his head, the 1st thing you think of is neck injury or paralyzed.  Thank goodness he's ok.  He's only 14 and has already injured both knees, when does a kid quit before he gets really hurt and then can't continue this as a career, etc. or injure himself more???

Allright, enough rambling......  Sorry, I get worked up so easily.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.  You gals are all amazing and being such great friends, hugs to you all!!!!  Thanks for being there for me and always!

Take care and talk to everyone on Monday!
