Proud Mama Moments

 I am horrible. I will get on here and gripe or complain until I am blue in the face but when my kids are AWESOME then I never speak a word of it.

 So let me just say my kids are AWESOME. I had Hannah's parent teacher conference, and was not only told how smart and helpful she is in class (which I already knew) but that she catches on SO quickly to the new lessons that the teacher is going to start teaching her somethings and letting HER teach it to the class, and help them to better understand it! She is simply amazing. Her benchmark scores were all in the advanced areas, well above meeting standards. That little girl is smart.

 Promise is doing so well with Volleyball she's always going to practice and working hard. She doesn't complain at all and she is just amazing too. She has all A's and B's so far this year as well which surprised me with all the extra things she's doing I am impressed that she can handle it and keep up with her grades. She's also been a lot less mouthy but I think its just that the couch wears her ass out before she gets home, which I am fine with, and thankful for!

 Bailey is still adjusting to the new school. I think he managed to find his way around and all that very quickly. Finding friends I guess is not going as well... Although he knows some kids and doesn't eat alone anymore... I think he's missing the old group he hung with... He even asked to go back one day, to his old school, but I think he just had a bad day that day... He has not mentioned it again. He wants to try out for basketball, which is the end of this month, hopefully he makes the team and then friends will come along with that.

  Destiny has been job searching for nearly a month and today, SHE STARTED HER FIRST JOB!!! She interviewed and took a drug test and started work today. 5 hours of work. She said her feet hurt. My mother in law told me that now is when she will start realizing how the world works, and about earning a living and all that, and I am glad, I know she has matured about so many other things this year, and I am so impressed with the young woman she is turning out to be.

 I am so very proud of each of my children and impressed with them all. Its amazing how different they all are, even when raised together in the same household.

 I am so proud this week, of ALL my children

Ahh a fresh new week.

It is Monday. Daylight savings gave me this extra hour of sleep and a bright sunny morning to wake up to. The weekend is behind me now along with that UNGODLY busy week. My best friend is home from her camping trip, I have learned how to use, and LOVE my new phone... All feels right with the world!  Over the weekend Destiny was gone. It was kind of quiet around here, but Promise made sure to make up for the crankiness and teenager (esq) that might be lacking in the household. Thank you Promise. Your just too kind.  Rooster boy came and stayed the night. Not sure why but my son always has these strange thoughts he thinks are good ideas when rooster boy stays... Not saying its rooster boy, my son even admitted it was his own idea, I just think when boys get together, they lose all ability to ration out what is a good and what is a bad idea.  So what was the bright idea this weekend? To "splatter paint" A bowling pin . I guess I should be happy, that at least ...

So Whats up with my oddly normal life?

 Huh huh? Cus it seems that I am never ever updating my blog these days. I am such a sloth!  Things happen and I think how I should blog about them and then I figure they are not really so interesting if you were not here. Then I remember I blog for me, not really for someone else. I want to be able to remember things, to come back and go oh yeah... Those were the days. Or whatever. I can't do that if I don't blog it.  I am going to try to be more regular with the blogs again, even if its what I made for dinner, and  how my husband kept me up snoring. If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to read it right!? :)  So whats been going on? the kids are growing. I got contacts, I am not sure how I feel about them just yet. Sometimes they are great, and sometimes I feel like I have an eye full of hair. Sometimes I can see great with them in, and other times everything is blurrier than when I had  them out. Meanwhile I wear my scratched up glasses while ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)
