It’s been a little bit since I have made a new post. I just have been so busy with football starting and Richard’s promotion to Chief.
Football right now is an everyday thing and we hardly got to see Richard through this process. He left today untill October 2nd. I must admit it relieves alot of stress with wondering if he will come home for things and wanting him home to see him. This way I just automatically know he will not be here. It relieves alot of stress off him because he can focus on things he needs to do..get this whole inititation thing out of the way and not worry about coming home and wanting to be home. I feel bad for him that he is going through all of this…but it’s just how it is and when it’s over with on September 18th he is going to be totally HAPPY!!!
So what I do is just hold it down at home. Been doing things for the boys and football everyday and just doing whatever else needs to be done at home. It is somewhat difficult being pregnant and not being able to move around like I used to, but it hasn’t been all too bad. I just take things one day at a time. Make sure I do make time to rest, I eat well, and I make sure I drink plenty of water. I always have an issue with getting my fluids in but this time with being pregnant it’s something I can’t just slack on.
But so many things have happened since I posted here last….. I will just make it quick. Alot of people already know how most of the tings I have posted turned out! LOL!
Well my babygirl had her birthday! I can’t beleive she turned 4. She is just this shining star in our lives and it’s hard to see her growing so quickly.
Yes! I did make her birthday outfit! Hehehe I FINALLY made something!!! LOL!!!
All in all she had a wonderful one. Like we do withe every birthday, they are with just us and we make sure the focus is purely on the birthday person/s and they call the shots on things they want…hehehe.
Speaking of the princessa………
She did something that was considered horrific in our household…lol! My poor babygirl chopped off her hair!!!!
OMG I was almost in tears because I love her hair. But it was nothing compared to how traumatized Richard was! Well I email him to tell him and he friggin calls from the ship ASAP! I mean…he doesn’t call me usually but the man called quick and was demanding pictures. He was LIVID!!! I sent him pics….he said he was so upset he didn’t want people to see the pic of her and had made everybody leave his workspace so he could see the pic.
You know….alot of people may not think it’s a huge deal and will say, “Oh my daughter did that too.” or “it’ just hair, it will grow back!” But to Richard…everything on this little girl is a sacred thing to him. He waited 5 boys to finally have a daughter. 5 BOYS!!!!! I can’t even put into words on how much he loves this little girl and how much he caters to her every whim. SHE is the most important female in his life. Daddy’s gem! I could go on…..but it’s just too much. But he was traumatized and when she knew I had told him she freaked out and was crying. Well she was crying also because she didn’t want to go get it fixed and have it cut short. Ummm hello little girl…you cut it! Anyway…..I pulled my skills out and as hard as it is to fix her hair now I can actually still tie it back and I think both her and daddy will be okay now, lol!
Good grief! Hopefully she wont be doing that again! I thought this whole house was going to fall apart! Even the boys were freaking that she did that! YES they are like that with her. I mean I will buy her skirts and my oldest will be like, “Mama why do you buy her those things? You KNOW she doesn’t keep her legs closed!” I mean sheeessshhh!!! It’s like dealing with 5 other daddies around here! She’s so lucky mama is here! LOL! When somebody has something to say about her wearing a skirt or her bathing suits I am usually like, “Just shut your mouth okay?! When you are the one going out and buying everything around here..you can choose.”

Now on to Football…..
I only have 2 boys playing football now. Rian isn’t playing anymore because of Richard having issues with the coach.
Let me back it up a bit……..
Okay so Richard was assisting coaching on Rian’s team. Like last year he wans’t there much but he did what he did when he was there. Richard is VERY knowlegable about football and not only knows everything about it, but loves to play it too and DID play it. Played it in highschool and played for his command in Japan. HE LIVES AND BREATHES FOOTBALL. Anyway…so you are supposed to have a headcoach that knows his stuff right?! Well…this head coach doesn’t know what the hell he is doing. When Richard would show up he would just step back and Richard would be running the whole practice. When Richard wasn’t there…it was like these boys were doing nothing! I mean…it was and is BAD. So many parents were comin gup to Richard asking for help and tellin ghim he NEEDED to be there. But of course he is in the military and that just can’t happen. So Richard spoke with the commisioner of the football league and he set up a meeting with the coach and parents. The parents pretty much were upset and told him how they felt. But then again what can you do? They can’t just find another coach right now…so I guess some kind of understanding was met. If Richard could..he def would have taken over the team and coached them himself. First off….this coach has his son on his team…the kid isn’t good at all and the coach is so concerned about where to put his son. When Richard wasn’t there..it was like the team revolved around his son! I mean I can go on…but it’s too long.
Well anyway the scrimages come up and Richard coaches the first one. They win that one. We go to watch our other sons play but when Richard hears the team is playing a harder team he runs off to go help. Well when he gets there the dumbass coach has boys in positions they know NOTHING about and they have no idea what they are doing. Richard takes things like that seriously because kids can get injured. So he’s upset and like what the hell are you doing?!!! Well the coach put his hands on Richard’s chest and tells him to calm down and he could kick him off the field if he wanted to. SO YEAH…Richard was PISSED. First off he doesn’t take too kindly to some other guy putting his hands on him. So shoves his hands off..takes himself off the field and takes little Rian right along with him. We had quite a few parents come up to us afterwards really upset about everything that happened and the fact that Richard wont be there anymore. Richard feels bad for the boys and for Rian. We actually really did ask Rian over and over again if he still wanted to play and he said he didn’t. I mean…it’s not like he will miss out much. He has his daddy always teaching him stuff and they are constantly playing football here at home. I must admit it is a bit of a relief. Richard was always stressed even seeing what an idiot that coach was and dealing with him and it will be a little easier on me dealing with only 2 boys in football. That team is still having so many issues an alot of the moms will see me and fill me in, so I am actually happy that my son is not part of such a messed up situation!
(Rian is in the Orange socks…hehehe)
But Rian will be helping out on Dominic’s team. The coaches know him and really like him. They see how he is with football and how good he is. Is is called, “Macho Macho” hehe. Also The coach for Dominic’s team asked Richard to come and help him out on the Offensive line so that is what Richard will be doing when he gets back in October. Richard is way more comfortable with these coaches that know what they are doing. He worked with them last year also.
Well on to Dominic….
Now that he is not living in Donny’s shadow anymore..he has been doing really well on his team. He seems pretty rounded out. He is a starter on the Defense as the safety and he’s a backup running back and quarterback.
He had his gear off before I could snap a pic! Darn! LOL!
They still call him “Mighty Mouse”. Hehehe… I really look forward to seeing him out there now. Last year it was like his heart wasn’t in it. But this year he seems to enjoy it more and he really is into it now.
Now on to Donny……
Well what can I say about this kid? I def and surprised by him. I didn’t expect him to be as good as he was last year. I mean last year he wasn’t good at first and them out of nowhere he just became this friggin powerhouse lineman that dominated and lead the team in sacks. People were shocked that it was only his frist year playing football. I really didn’t expect much this year. Mainly because he moved up in division…the kids are bigger and better. So I just kept telling him he may not be a starter and to just work hard. Plus football politics are there..where the kids who were previously on the team (the vets) are the starters n’ stuff. WELL…low and behold Donny is indeed a starter! A lineman again and getting those sacs!!!! I mean it’s even weird seeing him out there because the other boys on the line next to him are HUGE! When Richard spoke with the coaches they were like, “We didn’t expect Donny to be good because he was always messing around but when we started doing hitting and doing the defensive drills we were shocked!!! He’s good!!!” With this team they are very serious. I mean they are GOOD and will probaly go to the superbowl they have in Florida. N’ for Donny to have earned such a spot on this team is AWESOME!
Here he is on the defensive line. You can see him wearing the one orange sock…if you can’t see him on the line you can see him gettin gup from the pile from sacking the quarterback and if you rewatch it was origionally Donny that had the quarterback. He’s number 2!

They were even calling him in when they needed help opening up hole on the offense! The kid is a beast!
**************************************************************
Recently I have had some thing shappen that really made me see some people in a better lite. I mean..I already knew how they were. But sometime it’s still shocking to see how little regaurd they have for me and my family. Also how little they want to do for themselves. I mean heck…people that have not really ever been there for me…and I am supposed to inconvenience my family over them?! It just makes me appreciate who I have grown to become as a person and what I have in life. I have been through alot…and I know why. Things happen for a reason……….. Karma is a B!!!!
So here I am……..I feel like so many things are different right now. Alot of things are happening all at once and I am doing my best to catch up and adjust. All of my 6 children will be in school this Sept. It will def be weird to me. I mean..it’s been like 11 years. I don’t know what it’s like to not have a baby at home to take care of. It almost makes me really sad! Richard made rank and will be gone alot. We will have most of October with him and half of November, December and BAM he will be leaving us for 8 months. I will be giving birth to A&C’s baby boy in November! Giving birth is always a huge thing! I am really excited about it. A&C are just WONDERFUL and when you are doing this for people like them and you have their baby in your tummy the baby just is this special little being and the whole thing keeps replaying in my head on how they will react to seeing thier baby for the first time!!!
I just have a million things in my head. I guess it could be due to Richard not being here. It will smoothen out eventually for me. It always does…. I always adjust and get into routine. Then it seems normal…alot of work…but normal.
More to come….i’m pooped!
