sleep deprived and more racing

Saturday was another endurocross. At the one last month we got sunburns, this time we wrapped in sleeping bags to watch. Oldest son got a first place, hubby rode in pro class and finished somewhere in the middle. He rode too big of a bike, a YZ 450 was not made to go slow and enduro tracks are slow.

Matthew moves in for the pass.

Earlier in the week:

Tuesday: End of year soccer party. We ate pizza and played volleyball in the rain.

My 5yo asked me why some mothers are nice and let their children do whatever they want. I told him that if a mom lets her child do whatever they want they turn out bad. So I overheard him telling his older sis, “Nice moms have bad kids.” I know where I fall in his mind.

Wednesday: Started out as a typical day, cleaning, teaching, taking kids to baseball and scouts, at 9PM I thought I was done for the day. Then hubby got off the phone and said, "Let's go." One of hubby’s crews had poured a basement floor and after they did all the finish work and left, the rain pounded it into a mess. So hubby and I and one of the guys went up and fixed it up. They did all the hard work, I helped sprinkle water and cement where it was needed, replaced the rope on a power trowel (didn’t do it 100% correctly, although it was good enough to get it going), cleaned stuff, finally at 3:30 they didn’t need me and I tried to sleep in the truck for an hour (I get too cold when I sleep though, so didn't really sleep). As we did final clean up and turned off the work lights, we noticed how bright the sky was getting. We got home after 5AM.

Thursday: Thought I’d be sleeping all day, but only slept from six AM to ten AM, then a one hour nap a little later. The all-nighter messed up my sleep schedule, so although I have big black circles under my eyes, cannot sleep. Planted some of the garden. Took Matthew to get baseball pictures and watched a couple innings of the Babe Ruth game.

Friday: Finally fell asleep late last night and slept in, much better now. At tonight’s baseball game, Matthew popped a fly ball right into someone’s windshield, CRASH. Then he got a triple. They played in the rain, brrrrr. A high school friend came over to the game and invited us to the Mexican restaurant afterward. Most of the kids had stayed home, so it was just hubby and I and Matthew. Sometimes it is nice to give the kids one-on-one time.
