Hello, I am Sami and welcome to my blog. For a few weeks now, I have been feeling some really big "growth spurts" inside of me. I am 30 something wife, mom/stepmom who has always put her children first. As of this year one of our sons will become an adult, two of our children will become teens and one will become a preteen. While I will continue to make my children a priority I must put my husband and our marriage first. I will also focus on bringing the woman within me out. I look forward to this new chapter in my life in order to watch our children grow into responsible adults, to love and cherish my husband and to be the beautiful, confident woman God created. Please join me in my journey and always feel free to comment, offer advise, or just say hello!
Hi Sami .. good to be back from Africa and love your site
Our weekend is jammed packed but I am ready for it. I have stayed on top of the house duties so everything is clean and in place there.
Mike's big game is tomorrow. The game is at 1:30PM; however, ticket sales start at 11:30AM. Since it is another playoff game a huge crowd is expected. We plan on being there by 11:30. The school announced this morning that they would like the parents and fans to show up at the school at 10:15 to cheer the guys on as they get on the bus to head out to the game. I want to go but my husband wants to get on the road since the game is about an hour away. I am going to try to talk him into it. If we do go to the school first we will need to leave our house by 9:45AM in order to make it to Mike's school by 10:15 and then leave directly from there to the game. Our cheerleaders will be at state competition during the football game so it is important that all of us parents and fans are there to get the guys pumped up. It is going to be a long day for Brock, Hylari and AJ since we probably won't get back home until after 5.
Since we will be at the game most of the day on Saturday I decided that I am not going to have time to make home made pie crust for our Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. I prefer to make my own crust but the time is just not going to be there. I have the menu planned for Sunday and hubby will go to the store tonight to get everything I need. The turkey is in the fridge thawing out. I will make the pies late Saturday night along with some type of fruit or jello salad and the rest will be prepared on Sunday.
Last night we went and ordered the basketball uniforms for my husband and AJ's basketball team. The place we went to has really nice people working there. It is the same place we bought Mike's letterman's jacket from.
Although I have been complaining about the cold I am not ready for what the forecasters are saying is heading our way next week. FREEZING RAIN on Wednesday....which means ice. Luckily that is the day we took off to put up the Christmas tree so we won't have to be out in it. We are having the boys stay over on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week. I doubt any of the boys will want to help Hylari and I decorate for Christmas but that is ok. We will use their height and muscles when they are needed. 
Well, I must be going. Wish us luck on Saturday (it worked on Monday!)
Have a great weekend!
Good luck on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a blast and enjoy...! And stay warm! I'm cold here too BUT its still in the low 70s. I wish it would rain more though..take care...!
