Dude, That's Not Your Car

I did it again! I tried to get in the wrong car! How does that happen to one person so much? Sometimes I worry about myself... NO joke! The other day I went out to my car and the key wouldn't work. I was starting to get really frustrated when a coworker yells out his window, "Stacy that's not your car!" SERIOUSLY! I AM A MORON! At least this time the car was the same make model AND color. Awhile back I got into a car that looked nothing like mine. It was white and my car is red! I actually sat down in the drivers seat and tried to start someone else's car! Kayla started hissing at me, "Mom, Mom....!" Thankfully the owner of the car didn't appear at the moment and I quickly took refuge in my real car! You know the red soul that was parked 2 spaces down.... I need some serious help!

Golden Birthday

September 18, 2015 was Kayla's Golden Birthday! It was the day she turned 18 on the 18th! When she started college this year she thought it was cool that she was only 17! There were some limitations though, like she couldn't sign any of her own paperwork or even get an advil from the trainer without my permission. When she turned 18 she said the first thing she was going to do was go to Nora her trainer and tell her to give her one of every kind of pill she had.

I wasn't missing the big 18 so I went to EWU and spent the weekend with Kayla! We had a blast! I really miss that kid! I can't believe she is so grown up! HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY KAYLA NICOLE!

Sister Showdown

The girls faced off for the first time as college rivals last weekend. The old people and I made the trip up to Cheney to witness this historic event!  We were on pins and needles for a few days wondering if Anna would make the travel team. Thankfully she did and we ended up being on the same plane. It was fun to see what it's like for the girls when they travel.

Old Man River hadn't been to Spokane yet so he really enjoyed getting to see Kayla's school and meet her friends. Because of NCAA rules and all that jazz Anna wasn't able to come with us to see Kayla. But...Thursday night we were all able to go over to Anna's hotel to hang out so the girls got to see each other for the first time in 3 months!  I LOVE having my girls together.

The game was on Friday....and let's just say....it was really weird (for lack of a better word)! Kayla's team won 4-2, and by the end of the game both girls were crying. Anna because her coach was mad at the team for losing and wouldn't talk to them and Kayla because Anna made her team mad and they were talking crap about her to Kayla.....OH SO MUCH DRAMA!!!

I'm so glad that is a once a year event and hopefully next year it will be much better! Fingers crossed! At least next year Kayla will get to play and we will see the Goebel girls really go head to head as one is a defender and one is a forward!

Here are some pics of the trip!

Empty Nest

I honestly thought that when both girls were away at college I'd have so much extra time on my hands.  How wrong I was! I feel like I am busier now than ever. It could be the fact that I have 3 jobs and work all the time so that I can pay for the 2 girls in college. HA! 

I'm very thankful that they both got athletic & academic scholarships! That takes a big load off but they still need money to live on. They both chose to go to schools that have 4 seasons so pretty much needed a whole new wardrobe. Then there are the little things like contact solution and shampoo etc,....I think I got off cheaper when they lived at home.

Oh yes....then I made the mistake of waiting too long to get Kayla's plane ticket home for Thanksgiving! Won't do that again! Good thing I've got a bunch of webinars next week! 

Oh the life of an empty nester! So far....it isn't what I expected it to be......
