Day 90
Day 90 and it’s been 13 weeks, 91 days, 2184 hours…it all just keeps adding up. I keep thinking of the time that’s passing and that’s exactly what it’s doing…passing. I’m still here with my 6 boys doing all of the things and he’s still gone, living in the ground as number 2 says. I…

Day 89
Day 89 and it wasn’t another ring day but he scored some points! The oldest had his playoffs/ championship games today and they won the first game but couldn’t bring it home on the second. He did score a touchdown and it was the only points his team scored in the second game. He was…

Day 87
Day 87 and of course these kids are sick AGAIN Poor number 4 with the current broken arm now also has strep throat like number 2 did. They were hesitant to test him because he’s 3 but I said look in his mouth, the tonsils are red and angry. At least 70% of his throat…

Day 80
Day 80 and I’m trying to set boundaries. His family asked if I wanted to go on a Christmas train ride with my boys. To most this sounds cute and like a good time, to me that sounds like hell trapped in a train car with 6 boys by myself. Yes, they would be there,…

Day 72
Day 72 and belt sobbing Britney Spears “Baby one more time” in the school pick up line. We get the new van today so I was clearing the garage so I can park in it again, this will be so nice and helpful with winter coming, and cleaning out the current van. I was talking…

Day 65
Day 65 and number 4 broke his arm and it’s my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary…yay (read sarcasm). Boy 4 is a Frank the Tank, he is built like a linebacker and does some crazy things. You would think he would have broken something sooner than his current 3 years of life. He tripped and fell…
