Days WITHOUT trouble

oh no! yes yes its time! Time for preschool!!!! Lord help me! I signed trouble up for 3 half days a week because I dont think I can handle 5 full days! ha! Yep me! He is all ready and waiting to go! Its ME who is freaking out. We enrolled him in a private school for preschool and Kindergarten so that makes me feel a little better. Then first grade he can go down the street here to our local public school. The reason I couldnt put him in public school for kindergarten is because he will be 5 10 days after the cut off date, and NO they refuse to budge on that. How can I put him in school a whole year behind? The school district did say that I could bring him back for first grade with a certificate that says he attended kindergarten. The sad part is he will probably know 10 tons more stuff! The preschool he will be attending had 4-5 kids per adult. WOW right? I wonder how big the kindergarten is?? When we went for our tour the school was so peaceful. We just randomly entered classrooms and omg little kids were all sitting and writing and reading! I dont know if you are familiar with high schools but entering school grounds for our high school is like visiting a prison during outdoor time! Yep I swear!
Anyhows, he starts on Friday. Ima gonna cry! wish me luck as my youngest baby starts school!

school days coming fast!

Well, troubles birthday is 10 days after the age cut off for kindergarten yes just 10! So I called the school hoping maybe they would bend a lil bit but nope! This poor child has been home with me everyday and night since his birth. I don't even entertain the thought of a babysitter! So I called a local private school and all he has to do is take a test to see if he is ready for kindergarten. The public school district said for first grade all he will need is a cert. saying he attended kindergarten! yay! not so fast..... that means, yes, omg, that means I will have to bring him somewhere and LEAVE him there *gasp* am I really capable of doing that? LOL hmm I'm not sure! There is a good thing tho - since it is a private school I can come and go without warning as much as I want :) and AND I can bake my own cup cakes or cake on his birthday and holidays and share with the class! can you believe that??? its like back when my older kids went to school! Life was so much easier back then!

Tomorrow we are going to meet with one of the teachers who will give us a tour of the school and go over all the costs and everything they will be doing. (I already know the costs and its worth it to us) He really needs to get out of the house and meet some friends :) also, we are thinking of enrolling him in Jr kindergarten so that he can get used to the idea of being away from home. Although he is such a well adjusted child I don't see any issues.

btw, trouble already knows all letters upper and lowercase and he can spell some words. He knows quite a few letters phonically and he can write them all too :) so we are on our way.

mom stuff:
I still have alot of nightmares regarding my mom and how she passed and alot of stuff sometimes it keeps me up all night. I had this one dream where two scientists were arguing over what happens to the soul of a human when they pass. One was saying that our bodies are made of energy and once the body dies the energy then moves on to be absorbed by another person and the other one was saying that NO once a body dies, it dies end of story. Can you believe this? sigh. It still hurts like an open wound I cant wait til I can move past this. I still find myself crying alone in the dark.

Lately I also noticed feathers...yes feathers everywhere! I threw this one feather out like 10 times! Every time I turned around BAM! another feather! That's my mom harassing me for donating her birds! eeeEEP!

I'm so glad her and I became friends in the end. Then again, I wish I still hated her lol She was such a smart really fucking smart woman. I swear she knew everything!!! Funny thing is just a week before she died she told I was her hero, and that she looked up to me. Wow, those are powerful words coming from a parent to a child! Isn't it funny how we both looked to each other as their role model? I mean, shit, she was MY hero lol I wish I had more time with her. I'm sure everyone says that. I at least wish we had that Jan trip we were going to take. I love you mom!!! I love you daddy! forever in my heart....

groundhog day

Did you ever see that movie Groundhog day? I remember just like two years ago or so when my husband saw it for the first time, I was shocked that he didn't see it earlier but he was laughing his ass off. I didn't think it was all that funny. It was ok. However, now we make jokes like that in our day to day life and he refers back to the movie..."what is this groundhog day??" lol sometimes life really feels like that, you wake up and just feel like you didn't get anywhere, you didn't move forward in time at all, and everything around you is the same as it was the day before! yep bleh!

Sooo, I'm doing the Lowcarb diet again, I have to wonder sometimes how come my body reacts to this diet so well, maybe carbs are just really bad for someone like me. Well one week down and very good results :) onward hoooooooooooooooooooooo lol

This weekend is the super bowl, I was considering having a lil party but honestly I don't know enough people! Sad huh? I'm gonna call a friend today and see what she thinks *shrug* the boys are still busy building that shed anyhow I don't even think they will know I exist this weekend lol but NEXT weekend is valentines day! I have my gifts all ready! I got Tony ....wait, I wonder if he reads this....hmmm I better wait to tell what I got til after ;p I love decorating for valentines day I put sticky hearts up over the front window. I like making a huge presentation on the kitchen table where I put all their lil gifts. hehe I'm a holiday junkie lol

trouble wants to ride the jeep today, it almost looks like rain. I told him when it gets a bit warmer he can go. To be honest I think he just wants to head outside to hang with the dogs. Gizmo is his best friend lately. He hangs all over him and that silly dog follows him everywhere! lol Tessa seems to be too clumsy cuz when shes with him she runs him over or falls on him and phew shes heavy LOL the other night we were sleeping and I looked over and tessa's head was laying in troubles lap! Her head probably weighs 40lbs! lol poor kid I had to pull him out from under her, cuz you cant even life her head lol then of course his face gets close to her nose and with one quick second her tongue flies out of her mouth one lick chin to eyebrows and all I hear is "ughh tessa girl!" (that's what trouble calls her) poor kid was slimed! sooooooooo with that said I just let him hang with gizmo since gizmo gives trouble the attention he needs ...... :)

well enjoy your day everyone, I'm off to get some vanilla biscotti coffee!
toodles... ;p

4 yr old shots and cold days

Well haven't written in a few days, sorry I've been pretty busy cleaning up the house left and right. So poor lil trouble had his dr appt for his 4 yr check up on friday it went very well. They checked his eyes, ears, and even his blood pressure....really? I thought that was odd but she said they do this now. Poor lil trouble weighs 31lbs and is 41.5 inches long. He lost almost 5lbs the week he was so sick. So anyhows, they were all impressed cuz he knew all his letters for the eye test at one point we had 3 nurses watching him read off the letters. They asked me if I home schooled him, I just said well I read to him and I teach him how to spell and write. One nurse said shes had kids in kindergarten that didnt know all their letters...how flippin sad is that?????

So everything looks great and of course its shot time! How many? you ask..3 shots to the thigh and TB shot in the arm. OW freaking OW! trouble barely flinched! I was shocked! Then I remembered the last shot he got to help him stop barfing, that nurse pretty much stabbed him and I swear it went right into his bone marrow!! So of course after that pfft nothing hurt! So sunday morning Im taking his jammies off and ready to put on some jeans and a T when I see his three bandaids just fall off...OMG I think he is allergic to the bandaids!! he has a bad bad rash where the bandaids were! Poor kid! Ill have to make sure they dont do that again. sigh.

yesterday everyone spent the day outside. The boys were all helping Dad build his shed, the kids were playing on the swingset and riding the power wheels all over front and back they had a blast. I guess this is why I didnt blog for a few days...nothing much really going on.

Today I am supposed to go with my daughter to see an apartment shes interested in. I hope she likes it because shes really excited about it. Tim heads off to Japan in a few days....Im excited for him! He has been wanting to go to japan since 9th grade! Chris should be getting his dirtbike anyday now. Im just waiting to find out if the one that was for sale is still for sale and we will probably buy that one. Im soooo against him riding a dirt bike but he really wants one. Pretty soon he will be working and he said he was gonna save up and buy a street bike *gawd* Im gonna have heart attacks everyday I can see it now!
well Im done boring yall for now. Time to start a fire and relax with my coffee
