Random ramblings

Today was the 3 oldest kids first day of school. They were really excited to go back. They were beginning to get bored all the time. I have to admit that I am ready to get back into a routine. I love sleeping in and just taking each day as it comes but that does not allow much room for getting things done.

We ran to Harriman to get breakfast at McDonalds, which was yummy as usual. Then we ran over to WalMart to get some groceries. It was a really relaxing trip since K wasnt complaining about the kids. lol

K's truck is squeaking and so we stopped to buy some U-Joints at Auto Zone. I really hope that fixes it as I hate spending money on stuff and still having the same problem.

Baby Girl has picked up a new word, "Hush". She will point her little finger at you and say "Hush!" It is just too cute. I have tried to get a picture but she isn't going for it. She calls her cup a BaBa. She knows it is a cup but she is stubborn. Today K tried to get her to say cup and everytime she would come back with BaBa. She gets her stubborness from her mother. :)

Yay-ya is loving the 8th grade. She is in the advanced math class and if she does good then she gets to go to Algebra 1 next semester. That will also count as a high school credit. Wow, high school has really snuck up on me! I can't believe my baby will be in high school next year. That is nuts.

Little Man is switching classes this year for the first time. He likes all of his teachers and is adapting to the classroom switching well. He was a little nervous at first but likes it now. He is very much like his daddy.

Little Princess is pushing limits now. Everyday seems to be a power struggle with her. She tells me that she WONT do this or WONT do that. I know where this is going. Been there, done that, don't want another t-shirt. So we are nipping it in the bud as Barney Fife once said. I'll let you know how that goes.

Piggy is constantly surprising me with how smart she is. She comes up with things that just really blow me away. She has told me that she wants to be homeschooled next year so that I can be her teacher and daddy can be the principal. Do you think that is because she has daddy wrapped around her little finger? ;) She wants me to go ahead and start teaching her now and then she wants to go to kindergarten next year.

K was better today. He was more relaxed and we had a nice discussion about the kids and our expectations. I think he realizes that he expects too much from Yay-ya and she is just a kid. I hope that our talk makes a difference and they can become closer to each other.

I am doing pretty good. I had my Celexa dose increased from 10mg to 20mg. I haven't noticed a change yet but I will keep taking it. I don't want to go back to that dark hole I was in before. I still really miss my Dad and I guess that wont change but I am able to function again in my life. That is important with all these kids. It is time to take back my home and not let the kids control it anymore.
