I cannot believe how balmy the weather has been. It is June and only 73 degrees outside. Unfortunately for me, I am stuck inside today working. I have so much to get done. I may play a little hooky later and do something with the kids. It is just too nice out to have them stuck indoors. Maybe I will take them to the park.
Surgery
On of my little guys had to have surgery yesterday. The doctor put in an Inter-Stem to help him with his wetting problem. Right now he is in the trial phase to see if it will help him. If this works then next week they will put in the permanent pacemaker to run it. It goes into his lower back to stimulate the nerve cluster that controls the bladder. I am praying that it will work for him. We are both tired of him being teased at school over this. Kids are just too cruel. Keep him in your prayers please.
Beds
Well I am buying new bunk beds for the kids. The old ones were second hand and have passed beyond their ability to withstand the children’s roughness. Ergo, new bunk beds are in order. I have known for some time that they would need to be replaced and have put aside the money for it. I have allowed the kids to have some say in what we buy, since it will be theirs. I gave them three choices to choose from and they finally picked one.
I will order the new bunk bed today. It shouldn’t take very long to come in after that. I think I will put it up while they are at school, so they come home to the surprise of a new room. I will make sure delivery is first thing in the morning so that it will be possible to do that. My dad has already agreed to come over with his truck to take down the old ones, and cart them off. I think I am just as excited as the children are.
LOL
Kids are so funny. My son was singing the same song I used to sing at the end of the school year. Of course he didn’t know that I could hear him and I didn’t say anything to him, but I did get a chuckle out of it. I know that you know which song I am talking about. No more teachers, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks, when the teacher rings the bell. Drop your books and run like 7734. I am still giggling over that.
Too busy lately
Gosh I have been too busy lately. I cannot wait for summer to get here so I can have some really good R & R. I want a full week with no getting up at the crack of down to get kids ready for school and packing lunches etc… I am so glad that school is almost over. The hectic schedule tends to get to you about half way through the year and by the end of the school year, you are ready to jump ship almost. I am so at that point.
Slow start this morning
Gosh I really have gotten a slow start this morning. I didn’t want to get out of bed at all and I have so much work to do. I got side tracked yesterday with the kids and work kind of slid off to the side. Today I have to really get on it. I am backed up so far it will take the rest of the week to catch up. No matter though, I have my coffee and I am ready to rock and roll!
What a storm
Wow, last nights storm as raging. It knocked over trees all over the neighborhood. We are really lucky one didn’t fall on our house. Our mailbox got crushed though. I guess I will have to order a new one. The kids were a little frightened last night, but the storm passed by quickly and they were able to fall asleep fast. What kind of mailbox should I get this time? Residential mailboxes can actually be fun if you like to shop.
I haven’t decided whether I should get designer mailboxes or one of the victorian mailboxes. I am thinking about ordering two of them, just in case. We get some really bad storms during the springtime that consist of high level straight line winds and tornadoes. I usually have to replace the mailbox once a year because of them. It might be prudent to just order an extra one, so I don’t have to worry about it later. This storm season started very early and is going to be a long one I think.
Woke up with a headache
I can see that my day is going to be a bad one already. I woke up with a headache, then stepped in dog pee on the way to the bathroom. That is a sure sign that my day is going to really suck. I don’t know why the dog was in the house to being with, but someone is going to get their rear chewed out for that. These kids know better then to let the dog stay in the house.
Upset
I am really upset. Mom was supposed to come pick up the kids on Sunday and take them to spend spring break with her and dad. Then she said Monday and then Tuesday and guess what? She just called and said tomorrow. WTF ? I was looking forward to some time with my honey for just us and the kids were looking forward to spending time with her. Now the kids are disappointed and I am pissed off. I didn’t take anything out for dinner because they weren’t going to be here and now I don’t know what the heck to feed my family. I am so not happy right now.
Summer
I so cannot wait for summer to get here so we can go swimming. We absolutely love to swim and all we need is a little more warmer weather that lasts for a long enough time to warm the water. We go to the river and swim at our favorite place. It is quiet and fairly secluded, so we can enjoy ourselves without being crowded by other people. That is my favorite part, being able to have family time without being crowded.
