Crazy Days

 I think Monday I said this was going to be a slow week. Boy was I wrong. Another busy day today. I think I need to learn to use my calender a bit better, and know this stuff is coming up. Although half the stuff, the kids bring home from school states: Tomorrow! ACK!

 So today it was work as usual. Kiwana day Wednesday. I love those guys, they are almost like my family, I know their names, orders, and where they sit. Its nice to have them there, Mr. Curtis, he is getting so old, and some times I just wonder how much longer he's going to be around, and that, makes me sad.

 Besides them, we got fairly busy. One of those ALL then nothing days. It came at one time, and then it was over... I think the new guy pissed off my co worker a few times today. The boss exclaimed she was drugged up and ready to make it through her day. I guess she has the flu. Sure hope I don't get it. Bleh.

 So after work my day was nowhere near over. Like a good girl, I once again, hit the gym. 3 for 3 today! Feels good. I hope to keep this momentum up! So after the gym, I drove down the road, got the kids and went to  Promise's parent teacher meetings.

 As always her behavior is wonderful. Bailey actually told one teacher "She has a big attitude at home!" LOL! She has an A in English and the teacher is just wonderful, you can tell its her favorite class. Her worst grade is a C, she has three of them. In science its a very high C that she can easily bring up. Social Studies she is not thrilled with her teacher, but the teacher did say she was certain that Promise would bring that grade up. It was afterall, a big adjustment going into middle school. She tries hard, and she has good behavior, what more can a mom ask for?

 So then it was on to pick up daddy from work, home long enough to pop online, get a snack for the kids, and then back on the road again for a fun filled evening of Chuck E. Cheese. "where a kid can be a kid" and mom gets the night off cooking, the school gets 15% of the profits, and the kids expend a bit of energy on games and then get cheap toys that break before they leave. Oh yes. A night on the town, for a mom.

As you can plainly see, I enjoyed myself.
 So then it was home in time for baths, and homework and then... Not a moment too soon, the blessed bedtime. I am ready to end my day but I wanted to spit out a small blog before I did that.

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
