Man, this time of year really wears me out. not only do I run around like a chicken with my head cut off, it also is taking it's toll on me physically too. I have NEVER had so many sinus issues in my entire life! I simply CAN'T stop everything to get better...which is probably making it worse on me. I keep telling myself that if I can juuuuust make it through Monday...(my program starts that day)
I have spent the last week without the wee ones, which is odd. I have really enjoyed my solo time with Dave, we have been doing all sorts of things together from movies, little side trips, new work out regiments...the best thing about them being gone is being able to come and go to and from work very very quickly!
I miss them, the daily in and out of their funny selves. Last night Gavin had a game so I went and got them so I could get them ready for the game. Their father didn't even want to go to the game, and wouldn't have if I hadn't have browbeaten him. While we were getting ready. Kainan came out of the kitchen shaking out a trash bag. I asked him what he was doing with it, and he told me that he noticed the trash was full and he took it out to the polly-cart and was putting in a new bag! I was SO surprised! I've never really told him to do it as a chore, Dave always does that. I asked him if he does that at his dad's house, to which he replied "they don't let me help." I was so proud of my young MAN. I mean really, I guess I have been babying him...he's gonna be 10. Maybe I should step it up on the chores with him, because if I think about it, 4th grade was when my mom really gave me my own set of chores other than my room.
I remember it like it was YESTERDAY:
I had to do the dishes. (to this day I hate them) My mom told me if I wanted to learn to cook I had to do all that came with it. She had me clean up....YUCK...paminto cheese that was stuck on the inside of a crock-pot. Now, you guys know my aversion to cheese. I remember distinctly gagging the entire time, and wondering why my mother was subjecting me to this child abuse!
Anyway, I asked A**hole about the trash thing and he was just as surprised as I was about it, and agreed that Kainan hadn't done that at his house. We shared a "proud parent moment"!
I guess it's just proof that no matter how much we worry about good vs. bad decisions with raising our kids that inner character comes through and makes itself heard no matter what. :o)
Tomorrow I will be picking them up, and taking them to a surprise picnic with Jamey and Kellie! I am so excited! We plan on breaking in the new playground equipment at Green Meadows Lake and then go swimming! I am ready to get my tan on! hee hee!
Sorry for another rambling blog...I can't seem so keep my thoughts in order...probably something to do with all these weird meds....lol
