My first day off in 5 days and it sucked. I was exhausted this morning. I was up and sleeping in Will's bed twice last night -not good. He has a twin size bed and it just doesn't work to have an adult and a 3 year old in that size of bed. Needless to say I got very little sleep. I layed down on the couch after I got the girls off to school. I did not get up until 10:30. Makes for a very short day taking naps like that.
Tony went to a friend's home to help set up his computer and was there for a lot longer than he said he would be. We did not get to spend any time together. I was very angry with him and chewed him out when he got home. I never did get to go shopping at all. I did however get my lists made and the bills paid and checkbook balanced.
Than came more bad news -my best friend's husband received a job offer that would move them. It sounds serious. This is the 3rd time they have considered moving in the as many years. I think they are going to take it and it makes me incredibly sad. I am happy for them -but feeling sorry for myself and my loss of her being so close. I have had better days.

Still debating
I am still toying with the idea of keeping this blog or not. I can be very reclusive and private -yet I like the blogs I see out there and would like to write as well. Maybe I keep thinking this will improve my writing skills -maybe not.
Things have been crazy this week. I started my full-time hours at the hospital which I will be working until they find a replacement for my job-share partner -this could be months! I had 2 girl scout meetings earlier in the week and tonight was cookie kick-off night which I could not attend because of work. We finally got Will to sleep in his own bed as of Weds. night -prior to this he was coming into our bed. He is a sweet little boy -but I can not stand sleeping with him. He is only 3 but he can take up more room in a bed than a grown man.
I am currently working -I will be here until midnight at least and I start my math class at 8 am tomorrow. What was I thinking taking a Saturday morning class?
This morning Addie started crying right before she was to go out and wait for the bus. She was upset because the morning before she and Kennedy had to sit on the floor of the bus. She said the bus was crowded and the one seat that had only one occupant -the girl did not let them sit with her! I kept Addie home and drove her to school later -Kennedy wanted to go on the bus. Tony called the bus company this afternoon and they agreed that the incident should not have occurred, and that they would talk to the driver etc. This is the part I have about raising kids -the part where you see them get hurt. Addie is a challenge to raise and sometimes I would like to adopt her out -but to see her cry that way -it made my heart hurt.

Monday Monday
Kind of a Lazy day today. My sister drove down to spend a few hours with us. She has 2 girls that are close in age to ours and they all have a blast when they get together. Robyn and I just vegged on the couch chatting. She did not stay long though -we had to take our girls for a dental appt.
Dental appt. went well -Thursday Kenny has an orthodontic appt. Last time we saw the ortho he said Kenny would probably start with her braces in Jan. -her teeth are growing better than the last time we saw him so I am not sure what his verdict will be this time around. Later is always better if you ask me -I am not looking forward to orthodontic bills!
Robyn and I are going to take the kids up to my Grandma's this next Saturday. I have not seen her since August when she had her hip replaced. It is a 3 hour drive -long enough without kids -so it is not a trip I like to take. Tony is going to stay home and paint Addie's room. Woohoo!
Tomorrow we pick up Will's bed. He is 3 years old and I have yet to potty train him -get rid of his pacifier and get him to sleep in a room that is not ours. He is currently crying because we would not let him sleep in Addie's bed. Hmm -I just now relented and told him he could sleep in Addie's bed -I am pretty sure it won't last long -sure would be nice though.
This may be my last week home for quite awhile. I would like to get him sleeping in Addie's room before I go back to work full-time.

New Year
First day of the new year... Will had us out of bed at 8am. He got into our bed at about 7am. We were so tired -did not get home from a friends home until 1:30 am and stayed up when we got home for awhile. We went to see King Kong last night-ugh I did not want to see it in the first place -but being the good friend that I am to my husband I humored him. Tony did not like it either and he is a very big King Kong fan... he is forever watching the original when he sees it on tv. After the movie we went to a friends home for a couple beers. It was a nice evening except for the paying of the sitter. She is 20 y.o. and I work with her at OJ -so I told her I would pay her 6.00 an hour -plus extra for having to drive 25 miles from Rochester to our home. I paid her 70.00... probably way too much but I have to work with her and I felt guilty for staying out so late. Live and learn I guess.
So this morning I tried napping on the couch for awhile -did not work well. First my brother called than Robyn and than mom. I finally got off the couch and in the shower. After I took all our Christmas decorations down and the tree with help from the girls and Tony. I hauled it all downstairs but have yet to put it away. Than we all went into Rochester and had some McD's for lunch and went shopping for a new vaccum. Found one! Finally! Our old vaccum was a monster! I think I vaccumed for an hour once Tony got it put together! Tony says the carpet seems much cleaner! It is nice to have the house cleaned up!
For some dorky reason I was convinced that the girls went back to school tomorrow. I was aware that it was a federal holiday -but thought the school board had screwed up and had the kids coming back tomorrow! I took a look at their lunch menu and realized that they have another day at home yet -not sure if that is a good thing or not! Regardless now I can get some more wash done a be a bit more prepared for back to school on Tuesday.
Well it getting to be bath time here and than bedtime! Hooray! I can't wait to sit in front of the tv and veg out!
