It's been two weeks since I've written anything, or read any one. I've been dealing with so much stuff at the moment, that I seem to have less time at the computer; My days are long my evenings are short 4:45 a.m. comes early and I'm hitting the snooze button not a good thing, it's causing a slight problem with C getting up between 6:50 and 7:30 a.m, and why do you ask? because I'm running late leaving the house. Still making it to work on time, but it's also causing me to run into traffic when I leave around 7:10a.m. So with this starting next week I don't care how tired I feel or how much I want to lay in bed I must get up. Other than being a little lazy in the mornings we are doing very well, C is enjoying his new school he is finally getting the hang of how they run things, he's not having any of the issues that made his teachers or staff running for the nearest door. C is coming along really well, still has a few kinks that need to be worked out. Other wise he's good.
J is doing well hasn't missed a day of school yet ( Knock on Wood) he wasn't feeling well allergies had gotten to him, not enough for him to stay home, called his dad to take him so head ache med so he stayed at school. I think he's making up for the times he missed school, I just don't know when he missed a day of school, he's back on the perfect attendance list again. He's learning that asking for help is better than disrupting the class, as found this week got a recess detention for doing just that, Ch got the call yesterday about it, his teacher forgot to call and let us know this so he served his detention yesterday on his birthday. Even though he's a good kid the teachers love him he'll get himself into a little hot water, not all the time just enough to let himself know it's not something to be proud of.
As for me I'm here survived another work which has finally picked, the tips haven't been all that great. A lot of it has to do with kids being back in school again, other wise I'm doing good been under a little more stress than the normal which has scared Ch a little, my blood pressure stays right around 128/78 lately it's risen just a tad bit over that; Not enough to send me to the doc's enough to let me know that I do need to take a much needed break, after seeing my tips not as good as they were over a month ago, I'm taking longer breaks after J and C goes to bed, I'll read for about an hour then I'll turn off the light and go to sleep. We are dog sitting for my in-laws Buddy's staying with us until Oct 1st then he will return back to them, our back yard it's something to be desired, let me just say it's going to need a lot of work sometime in the future.
I've taken a Friday evening when Ch was scanning pictures, and went into the bedroom, C was refusing to lay down and I had to walk out of his room, Ch ended up putting him to bed. I retreated to the bedroom and read, by the time Ch came to see how I was doing I had turned out the light and was dosing off. He said no ice cream? Or any time for us? Well you said to take a break so I did what you told me to do. The stress that I've been under was caused by C, his days at school were good for three days, then all of a sudden he just turned like he's done with other teachers. It was a tough week for all of us, so last Friday I had enough and took a time out for me, I even got a massage last Weds which was really good. She had me asleep on the table it's a tie between her and another Massage Therapist. I'm due for another, and a good adjustment.
It's the little things in life that I look forward to, we have to look for that silver lining no matter how bad we have it. J turned 13 yesterday wasn't happy about the dinner I had made, it seems there are dinners that kids won't touch, or they will just pick at it. At least he did eat it, with some complaints while I was cutting up potatoes and throwing in a few handful of carrots then I ended up over cooking my pot roast. It came out good just a little dry for my liking. It's part of wanting dinner done before 7:00 p.m. so I can make sure C is in bed by 9:00 p.m.
I think I've bored you all to death, I needed to update. There is something I'm not adding to this post. I wanted to leave it for another day, I'm not ready to reveal what it is, we are going out fishing tomorrow, the Salmon are running and we will be out with fishing pols and a lunch on the water rain or shine that's we're we will be. Our family matter will wait, spending time with the family is more important than what we are about to go through. Ch and I are doing very well, J is having a good year and C has his moments.
In the meantime be thankful for what you have, life can be tough. A parents love is all about tenderness, love and strength and if you had a rotten day and the kids are pushing your buttons you only get one chance to love them. On that note go do something fun what ever it may be, that's what we are doing tomorrow.
