Oh, I got the cutest little Wedding favors at a friends wedding. They were miniature gum ball machines. Of course you don’t have to put only gum balls in them. You can put mints or chocolates in them. The wedding was a fifties style wedding with decorations to match and the gumball machines were the party favors. The kids loved it when I brought one home. It now rests on a table in the living room, filled with peanuts. My littlest guy is always going and getting a peanut. I doubt he will ever grow tired of it.
Well the kids are home
The kids got home from school and of course, there has already been a problem on the bus now that the bus driver is back. I am going to the school first thing in the morning to deal with my son being attacked by another student. I have had enough of this. When I am done at the school, I will be going to the school board to file a complaint. I will bring an end to this problem immediately. I have never had this kind of problems with a school bus driver before. Ugh!
Beautiful
I love winter time, especially when it looks like this outside. I know that most people don’t really like snow, but it has never really bothered me.
I think that there is so much fun to be had in it, that I really look forward to it as much as the kids do.
Craziness
Do you ever wonder why people act so crazy during the holidays? I used to until I had children and became a single mom. It can be too much stress and pressure to keep up with the Jones’s as they say. Kids talk to each other in school and adults talk to their friends, and everyone wants to have what everyone else has or better. There is an expectation for the holidays that is almost impossible to achieve in today’s economy. Everything is so expensive that is get harder and harder each year to keep up. I do the best that I can and my kids thankfully understand that. I am grateful to have such understanding kids who do not expect the world handed to them on a silver platter. They are truly grateful for the life that they have.
Tired lately
I have been really tired lately. I don’t know if it is because I have been sleeping too hard or what. I am getting plenty of sleep, but still don’t want to get up in the morning. I haven’t been doing anything different in my life, nothing more strenuous then usual. I just cannot figure out why I am so danged tired all the time. Maybe it is just this time of year. The holidays are always stressful and this year is no exception.
I am going to go see my doctor and get checked out. It is probably like I said, stress, but I want to be sure. I have too much to take care of with the kids and all to fall sick. I will make the appointment when I get off of here.
Cleaning time
Time for me to crank up the music and clean the house. I can get so much more done when the kids are not at home. I just play my favorite music and clean, clean, clean. I will be tired by the end of the day, because the house got trashed over the weekend, and yesterday I was out all day running errands so couldn’t do it. Okay, then. Off I go.
Time for breakfast
I think I will go make a small breakfast for me and my little guy. Some cream of wheat and scrambled eggs sounds divine right now. Maybe I will add a little toast on the side with jelly. I know he will like that.
He hasn’t been eating much lately, so I have to find something to tempt his appetite. This looks good, with a little fruit on the top.
Tutoring Online Can help Kids
I have found an awesome site for tutoring online that can help kids struggling with their schoolwork. A tutor is sometimes necessary for kids in school. There are many different ways to take advantage of the website and the resources they have. You can join and post questions on the Q & A board or you can get one on one tutoring if you so need. You can also help others by answering questions in the Q & A board, if you know the answers. It is all very interactive with real, live people.
I think this is a great tool for kids to use, no matter what grade they are in. I am definitely going to be making use of this with my kids, when they run into problems that I cannot handle myself. Most of the time, I help them, but sometimes it is hard to help all three kids at the same time. I know with this, I can at least set my oldest child up with someone knowledgeable to help him.
Happy Halloween
Just a little shout out to all of the goblins and monsters out there. Have a great time Trick or Treating and if you aren’t doing that then drive safely to whatever parties you attend.
Halloween is my favorite holiday, because it is just so much fun. What is your favorite Holiday?
Blah
I really don’t feel like being up this early. I wish I was still asleep, but the kids are already up and on it this morning, so I have no choice. At least the coffee is made and I am on my second cup. I suppose I will make myself something to eat soon. The brats already had cereal, so I don’t have to worry about that. Oh well, time to get on with my day.
