Friday

Been up since early this morning and I have gotten a lot done. I wish I was this productive everyday. It is now evening and we are sitting around watching Planets funniest Animals. I love listening to the kids giggle. Kenny is a at a friend's home for a birthday sleepover. So it is just the 4 of us tonight.
I am feeling down this week -possibly from PMS... Sure wish it would go away -when I get like this I just want to sleep sleep sleep.
Tomorrow we leave to go to St. Cloud and Watkins for my cousin Danielle's wedding and Sunday is my Grandparent's 65 wedding anniversary. We are all gathering for a brunch on Sunday to honor them. I have all the laundry done and the ironing -but I have yet to pack. It is so much preparation to get all 5 of us to go away for 1 night -it is ridiculous. Of course I am an overpacker as well -I always have to bring clothes for the kids for 3 days not just one -I irritate myself. Thank goodness Tony is understanding and never says a word.
Yesterday Kenny brought home an F on a math test. Our first F experience with our children. I was calm about it and told her we would have to do some work at home and Tony suggested maybe reading a bit less and practicing math more. Her teacher had also written on the test that Kenny should come see her about it -of course Kenny did not do that. We told her last night to be sure and speak to her about it today -but she forgot. I was so angry with her. I am also terrible at punishment. Maybe I should have not let her go to her party tonight I don't know. I told her that on Sunday when we get home she will be redoing each problem she missed and that on Monday I will be taking her to school and we will go in and talk to her teacher together. I will than later decide if we need to do more in the punishment department later.
