I must admit that pseudo pain is something I never thought about before becoming a mom! I thought my days of stressing before try-outs and the frustration of trying to master new skills was far behind me. I find myself today on the verge of tears. Tori has taken up gymnastics for the last 10 or so months. She has found something that she really loves. Her coaches are working with her to advance through a couple of levels over the next year. She is really excited about this and is trying really hard. They all say she is a very hard worker and a joy to coach. Of course, this makes a mom feel really proud. You gotta love it when people love your kids. Anyway, there is a skill that she is trying to master and they have told her for about a month that she is on the verge of mastering it. She has worked very hard for hours trying to get this skill. She really wants to get this down. But is seems that every time she fixes one problem, another one creeps up. She was very discouraged after practice tonight and started crying. My body is aching for her! I see her doing what she is supposed to be doing and still struggling and it hurts my heart for her. I know that she will eventually get it and this is a good lesson in patience and perseverance for her, but man it is hard for the ol' mom!!
Time to get ready to watch LOST!!!

Falling a Bit Behind!
Well, I think I have failed in my first attempt at blogging in cyberworld! It has been almost 2 months since I have posted anything. I will try and do better.
Things are moving at warp speed in our home. Kalli turns 2 this week. It seems like just yesterday that I was pregnant with her. She has grown so fast. Emaleigh is doing well. She is learning to read and actually enjoying it (most of the time). I have enjoyed it too and this is shocking considering the stress that came with teaching the other two to read. Tori is doing great in her gymnastics. She is working hard this spring to skip some levels over the summer. She would live at the gym if we would let her! I am glad that she has found her passion and gift. Brianna is also having a great spring. She is working to enter into an early college admissions program. She is fasinated with science and is a whiz in her algebra.
I have really enjoyed all of the rain we are getting. The grass and leaves are soooo green and pretty. Of course this means more lawn work, but it sure is pretty. We head out this weekend to a leadership convention that Brianna and Tori are involved in. It should be a fun little trip!
I really am going to try and do better with my posting! I think I may go right now and try to figure out how to add pictures!! Wish me luck :)
