Wow, I have actually found some time to post yet again! This week so far has projected to be a slow one. Mondays are usually pretty busy, but after about 2pm yesterday, my day slowed down. Around 4pm I decided to go a head and do my Friday Reports, and that kept me busy until a little after 5pm.
Yesterday was my day to go pick up the kids (Brian had to ref. football). I dread the drive, because it's kind of out of the way, and traffic is not usually very good either. Yesterday was a little more congested than normal. It was raining, and I hate to say it, but people do not know how to drive in the rain! But, I got there before the daycare closed, and that is all that really matters. Kaitlyn had a good day, because she could not wait to tell me that she did not get in time out all day long. SO, we went to Taco Bell for dinner! She was so excited.
Tyler did something yesterday that was a 1st for me to see. Usually when I get there to pick up the kids, they are all in one room watching a movie, patiently waiting for their parents to get there. Tyler, as soon as he sees me, usually come crawling as fast as he can to me, but not yesterday. Yesterday when he saw me, he pushed himself up with his hands until he was standing, walked a few steps, tripped over another kid, stood back up and walked over to me! I was so excited. Yes, he has been walking for a few weeks now, and even standing up on his own to walk, but usually he tries to get to me as fast as he can - which means crawling! My little boy is growing up!
Because I had the kids all to myself last night, it meant getting all the things done in one night, alone. Usually I am too tired (whether Brian is home or not), to do too much once I get home from work. Our "New Year's Resolution" is to save as much money as we can each month. This means eating more at home. I have been trying to do this as much as possible, with the occassional treat to Taco Bell, when daddy is not going to be home for dinner. So, we picked up Taco Bell, came home, ate dinner, Tyler was so tired he didn't each much of what I gave him (and he also had 2 cerael bars in the car so he was probably full). He went to bed not too long after we got home. He was sweet, I layed him down, covered him up, and he just layed on his back looking up at me with his thumb in him mouth! Those are the moments I cherish. Kaitlyn finished her food and played for a while while I proceeded to put some laundry on, do the dishes, get dinner for tonight ready (Roast and Potatoes!!), and put away some laundry that has been sitting out all weekend. WOW! That's more than I do on a weekend sometimes. I'm trying to be more motivated to get a little bit done every night so come weekend we can try to relax and enjoy!!! We will see how long that lasts......
Well, I better figure out what I need to be doing today. I am feeling a lot better health wise, but I still have some sinus pressure....even in my ears...today they feel like they might burst....ugg....
Hope you have a wonderful day!

So busy and never enough time to post
As I sit here tonight, I ponder all the things that have taken place since my last post. It has been a long time since I have even looked at this thing.
I was taking care of the kids the other night, and as I was rocking Tyler to sleep, I thought about what a good post it would be, if I only had time to write. We are constantly on the go, and hardly ever home long enough to enjoy our time home, and I decided to actually spend some "mommy time" with Tyler. Brian had been sick, and I had to take the kids to school and pick them up. Tyler had been unusually cranky (which cranky is not unusual for him), so I wondered what might be the problem. I realized that Tyler had not seen or even spent time with mommy in at least 6 days, because I was sick with the flu. So, I decided that after dinner, I would give him a bath and just sit and hold him for a while. So, after bathing the kids, I got Tyler dressed in his pjamas, and rocked him for a while. It's been a very long time since I have done that. I just sat and loved him, and thought about the fact that therer will come a point in time when he will no longer allow me to. Mind you, Kaitlyn wouldn't let me hold her long before now, but Tyler is a little bit of a mama's boy. He just layed on my chest while I scratched/rubbed his back, and just took in the moment and tried to make a mental memory. All the way until he fell asleep. He was so prescious just laying there, I didn't want to put him down. We sat there for a few more minutes, then I put him to bed.
As I am recalling this memory, I am also listening to my husband have a conversation with Kaitlyn on why she would hit her friends at school. We have a little bit of a rough week. Kaitlyn has been in time out every day for hitting or kicking her friends. Usually one time would be enough to keep her out of time out for anything for at least a week, but not this week. She also got in trouble yesterday for pulling her dress up, pulling her panties down and shaking her booty in her brother's face at school. Mind you she did it in front of other people too. When her teacher told me about it, she told me she that she told Kaitlyn that it might be o.k. to do that at home, but not at school. I can only imagine the look on my face.....I told her "We do not do that at home." I have NO idea where she got that idea from. I was shocked! Not sure what has gotten into my daughter these days. Usually when I go to pick them up from school (which is usually only once a week), we go by Taco Bell on the way home. The first day I picked them up, we did go. Kaitlyn has asked every day this week to go, but every day I have told her that we only go to Taco Bell on special days, and when she can be good at school and not go in time out. Today I had planned to take her there after school. When her teacher told me she was not good, I ALMOST gave in. I thought about telling her that we would go, but next time she wasn't good, we couldn't go, but I had to stop myself. I had to say "No, I told you it's for treats. You were not good, so you can not have a treat." Let's hope I can stick to this.
Well, this is nothing of a catch up, but I am tired. I am not going to promise that I will keep up with the posts, but I will at least try to post as often as I can.
Until then!
