I can't believe we only have two more weeks before school starts. So we now have our summer list and our 2 weeks left list, meaning just a few things I really, really, really want to do before school starts. 1. go to the pool one more time 2. go to the petting zoo (the kids love it) 3. check out the "jumping pillow" off Airline Highway. And most importantly, try and spend more time with Wendell before he goes back to preschool.
I feel like the past week I have been trying to catch up from all our travels and busyness... I am starting to feel like I will never get caught up so just quit trying and spend time with the kids. Maybe when Wendell goes back to school I will have more time. So although we got home Saturday night from another family vacation.. I am leaving the bag on the porch. We are traveling again this weekend for another family vacation so why bother? Maybe I can keep the same clothes and then I won't have to pack another bag? : )
On a side note, Harlie has pink eye/an eye infection. Our little dumpling woke up with swollen and matted eyes. Yuck! But we got in the doctor and pharmacy and they have given her some medicine. She should be back to normal very soon.
My mom comes tomorrow and life will be whirl wind for the next week while she stays here. I know she loves to shop so I'm sure we'll be out and about. I am kind of looking forward to it as I have some things on my wish list. One thing for sure is to get Wendell some school clothes as he has a dress code this year. We have a good start but we need to get some more pants.
Did I tell you Harlie has been getting out of bed sometimes? Last week, we had a few very bad day where I REALLY needed a nap but apparently she didn't think she needed one so after a few spankings, and tantrums (from me) I finally put the baby gate up and said fine. The last few days has gone fine but at least I have a back up plan if she decides not to nap.
Phil's big race is in two weeks. I think he's getting ready to be done but also nervous. I don't blame him. A lot of work for one day, one race, one chance. Oh well.. I trust all will go fine.
We also have Harlie's birthday coming up. I think we're going to go simple and have it at our house with the grandparents. I might have some snacks and then cake and ice cream. If I get to planning I should have one with our friends like I've done in the past.. I miss you guys.
That reminds me, I am sad to go to MMO this year as almost ALL of my friends won't be there. I am going to be the "older" mom and not sure I want to make new friends.. is that bad? I'm not trying to be a snoob.. I'm just going to miss my usual friends. I hated cliques in high school and now I've become one.
I've been reading some good books.. I will be posting a list soon. Many are new books from the library. None have been GREAT but all have been good so they make the list.
One last thing, work has not been going well. One lady has been getting me up every night. Usually only for a few minutes but enough that I can't just go back to sleep. Luckily I have the next few weekends off (vacation!!) and I also put a bid in to transfer out (doing the same job but at a different house). This has been a struggle for me as I don't do well when I don't get enough sleep. I don't see any change (at the current site) in the near future so I need to get out or just pray that God helps me through until something else comes up.
Well, I think that's enough. I feel like I just wrote to my dear diary. Many thoughts to share.. but no good pictures. One of these days I should post a Wendell movie. He has been recording a lot of movies lately. Some are pretty funny.
Hope all is well!! And thanks for reading.
