So today started off really good! The girls got out the door on time with no fighting! After dropping A and H off, M and I went for a walk/jog around the park. M got to play on the playground before we headed home. The plan was to get ready and pick up my mother-in-law so we could go to Joann's to do some shopping for the baby shower, but that did not happen. I got a call from the school, A threw up in the school's bathroom and needed to be picked up. :( Poor thing! She was fine in the morning! Only day #4 and she has already caught something! So far it has only been that once, and she ate normal the rest of the day. She wanted Cream of Wheat for dinner, Maple & Brown Sugar, so that
was on the menu for tonight. Actually it was Malt-O-Meal, because I am
cheap. The only thing she complained of was a headache, it must have been bad because she actually took something for it! That girl will not take medicine! Now she is completely fine.
So most of the day was spent in a quiet, dark house, until H decided to have a giant tantrum. During which she knocked over a glass of V8 Fusion on to my bag of yarn. It started by me telling her she needs to clean her room, she got mad and hit A. When I asked her if she hit A, she lied and said she couldn't remember-like I didn't know she had hit her sister! So she got a time out. BOMB! Full blown tantrum! It lasted only a few minutes. Oh the fun of a exhausted kindergartener. Oh,did I mention H has a snotty nose. Got to love the first few weeks of school!
So Brian told me that the senior class got their dream sheets last week. So in the next few weeks the seniors will know where they will be stationed after graduation. Naturally Brian wanted to talk about what will happen when he gets his list. He finds the topic interesting and exciting. I find this topic very stressful. I am fully aware that it is very likely that we will have to move in February, if that happens I will be okay with it. That being said, I really do not want to move. The girls are in a great school with great teachers. I like the town we live in, we live minutes from friends and family! My schooling might be set back by a move. The idea gives me a headache. If we moved we would have to start over. As it is already a stressful time, and I can plan ahead for only so much, I have decided to face things as they come up. Basically, I know if I try and process everything, plan for everything, and try to control everything, I will go insane. :) Coo Coo for Cocoa Puffs! So I focus on what is directly in front of me and pray for the rest. Otherwise, total melt down! The dream sheet is one of the stressful issues that gets a lot of prayer. :)
I finally got to talk Brian a little bit ago. He said today was a normal day at the academy. :) He got his third blue card taken so he is supposed to lose his Wednesday liberty next week. His work load has increased a little so it might be a good thing for him to stay and study that night. He still wants us to come up this week and have dinner with him. He is starting the classroom stuff for EVOC and he has a test tomorrow in another class. He is busy! He sounded tired, but he is still motivated!
Well that was my day. I think I am done for tonight! :)
Blessings,
