Eeek!  School's almost out for summer!  And, you know what means!!  Kids constantly underfoot while you try to maintain your regular day-to-day responsibilities PLUS now you also have to entertain them. 

Wanting to make sure my kids stay healthy and active during the summer months I went in search of summer programs in which they could participate.  My hunt led me to sports, one youth sports organization in particular whose philosophy I wanted to share with you.  The organization is called i9 Sports.

When I had 3 kids under four years old I was busy, very busy. The days were long and sometimes it seemed like there was no end in sight.  I hated when people would see me and tell me “Enjoy these days, they go by so fast.” Yea, right I would say under my breath, easy for you to say. But at the same time I knew it was going by fast. I loved being at home with my kids. I am not saying I loved everyday, luckily that is not required for motherhood. But overall I was grateful to be there.

"I LOVE YOU SO"

Over the weekend my "wife" had to quit to watch her nephew while her sister tutors. And now I am scrambling to find a replacement. My husband just returned to work from paternity leave and so I am back to conference calls hoping my youngest will map and my oldest will play quietly for 15 minutes.
