It's been a while since I've blogged! I've enjoyed reading what has been going on with everyone else though! The past few weeks have been filled with waiting. Waiting for school (for the girls) to start, waiting for cooler weather, and waiting for some sort of happy normalise. This summer seems to be dragging on and on and on and on.....(you get the idea) Well, this past week school started!!! Yeah buddy! Sydney started 4th grade and Melia started Pre-K.
As a part of Sydney's life-long lesson of dealing with change, her teacher is on maternity leave for the first six weeks of school so she has a substitute. Sydney has been dealing with it very well considering she was so nervous about it before school started! I just have to get used to all the homework Sydney brings home! Honestly, Sydney spends hours on her homework! Fortunately, she found some books that she enjoys reading which makes her 20 min of reading a day much easier. Melia is enjoying school. The school system works the younger kids in slowly. Half the class (of 15) went on Wed and half the class on Thurs and then everyone went on Fri. I have to drop her off and pick her up but that's no big deal really. Nap time is the last thing they do and it is so cute/funny to watch the parents/grandparents walking out of the classroom caring their oh-so-sleepy 4-year-olds! I go in thinking "there's no way I'm caring my 70 lb bundle of joy out of that room" Honestly, my girls have grown so much over the summer it's amazing! I took Sydney to get a new pair of shoes and....are you sitting down?.....she wears a size 7.5 women's shoe!!!!!! Her last pair of shoes were a size 5!!! OMG! I just hope she grows into her feet, lord knows I didn't! Everyone is just so surprised that Melia is only 4. Where did my girls get their size? My family isn't tall and Chris isn't tall?
Little B kept trying to put the candle back in the cake (after it was taken out) and was very leery of us cutting and eating her cake! There were about 10 kids of all ages and lots of yummy food!
My girls gave the birthday girl some balloons which was cute because whenever anyone wanted to know where Little B was all they had to look for were the balloons! LOL! We spent about 6 hours at the swimmin' hole and came home very tired.
About two weeks ago our dog Fluke was attacked! Fluke likes to spend most of the summer months under the house and that all ended when she came in one morning a bloody mess. She had three puncture wounds on her neck and it scared me! The poor dear!!! We got her inside and washed up, medicated, and put a towel around her neck to stop the bleeding. I've heard that "they" have let some coyotes/wolves loose around our area...nice....anyway, her neck swelled for a few days, at least she drank some, and in the past few days she has been back to her old self. The swelling went down, she's eating, and she is playful. I felt so bad! I don't like to see an animal bleeding and in pain! It hurts me physically in my chest!
On a different note, this semester I have a terribly hard class, Financial Management. I spent 6 hours on a "Quiz" that was a total of 25 questions! I had to get a financial calculator and I just could not get that blasted thing to give me any type of answer that matched the multiple choice answers I was given! #$%^&*(!!!!!! (Sorry for the out burst, but this stuff frustrates me!)
Chris has been a time zone away in Tennessee for the past 9 days so I've had to hold down the fort while he's gone. This means that I've had to feed the cats, goats, horses, and raise our children while he's gone. I miss him! I miss my best friend and the adult conversation! He's been out in TN with his mentor Waits selling horses. Waits has been helping/advising Chris about braking horses for about 3 years and they have a father/son ish relationship. (That's the best way I know how to put it) Anyway, Chris comes home tomorrow night and we are looking forward to it.
All-in-all life is good and getting better!
