I cant believe how fast life goes by, It seems I'm so busy from the minute I wake up, till my head hits the pillow at night. I am working full time, Mon-Thurs that is. When I get home at 5, all the house and mommy things still need to get done.When I finally have a minute its 10pm and I'm exhausted! Skylar is still working part time with ups, Mon-Fri 4-8am. He has been at it for two years now, waiting for them to hire more drivers. He also works for Davita 3 times a week. He stays busy in his free time, finishing our basement (which is almost done being sheet rocked woo hoo!) and helping his mom, family, and friends, with anything and everything! He is such a hard worker! I am glad he gets to watch the girls two days a week, while I am at work. He has become such a patient loving daddy. Skylar and I started teaching primary last month its been fun, but now it makes us have to attend church every week... I did it, I prayed one night that I could find someway to help Skylar and I become more active for Baileys sake. (Its all to easy for us to say, "Lets just go for a ride up the canyon, or Lets just sleep in.") wallah! that very next week, we get a call asking us to sub and then they ask us to make it permanent..... prayer answered!I have been thinking of going back to school, but I am on the fence with this idea. I am so busy, I would feel terrible leaving my kids another second of the week. I do have a lot of free time on my lunch breaks, which sadly are getting longer and longer! So I think I could take a few online courses during that time. I don't know what I'll do yet, just pray and hope I make the best decision. It would help a lot if I wasn't such a busy bee at home. I CANNOT sit still for the life of me! I am usually organizing, cleaning or working on some project. Recently I did Kinley's big girl room......
I painted my old daybed hot pink, modpodged some paper on a magnet board and glued some flowers to a plain lamp shade. She loves her big girl bed! We thought, because of her stubborn personality, we would have a hard time getting her to listen, and stay in bed. Much to our surprise she is an angel at bedtime she gets in bed and stays there all night. Even if she has a hard time going to sleep, I'll hear her talking or singing to herself to pass the time. She thinks she is 5 & She talks a lot for her age. I mean full paragraphs, She told me the other day "Mom, Jayden pushed me down and it really hurt my feelings, Aurora and Ava push me too mom, I say no no, be nice to me, your not my friend!" no joke this is how my daughter talks big long sentences. what she really meant to say was " Mom I decided my friends were not paying enough attention to me, so I took away their toys and hit them. and then they hit me back so now I'm mad!" Of coarse we could all understand her a little better, if she would get that Binky out of her mouth! I do have to say at least she followed Baileys footsteps and potty trained by 26months its so nice!
I just got back from Bailey's kindergarten program this morning, and I was crying like a baby she is so big now!I took her out a few months ago, and told her I was going to take her training wheels off, and teach her to ride her bike. She was excited, so I took them off and when I looked up, she riding her bike like a pro! I didn't even have to teach her. I am happy that she finds much joy in this new found skill. She rides her bike as often as we let her, in fact a few Saturdays ago, she and her friend Lauren played all day on their bikes. I literally had to drag her in the house at 8pm saying its time to be home!Bailey loves art she can sit down and create the most amazing things! She found a page that teaches you step by step how to make a flower, or a puppy, so she taught herself. Now without looking at anything, she can draw the coolest dogs. Way better then mine ever wished to be! She also is a bit of a clean freak, whats wrong with us?! I tell bailey she needs to stop being like mommy with her cleaning, or organizing, and be a kid! play with her barbies, make a mess, have fun! so last night she dumps out all her animals, and says she will play with them in her doll house. GREAT, have fun! then later I go upstairs and all her animals are in her doll house, but they are all organized! The giraffes are in the bathroom, the puppies huddled in the bedroom, the cats and mice on the deck, monkeys in the kitchen, and so on! Poor thing. I guess I need to set a better example of having fun too.
y real dad. Total Jerry springer! I didn't think It would be a hard adjustment for me, I mean I am adult with my own family and kids. Plus what little girl doesn't wish with all her heart that her parents would remarry? It was hard though. I love bob, hes always been their for me, and my kids. He might be quiet, and keep his distance. But he was at all my dance concerts, he drove me and my friends anywhere we wanted to go, and he never complained with anything my mom bought us. I also felt really bad for Bailey, she is really close to Bob. He lets her do his hair, or jumps on the tramp with her. whatever she wants, he does! I think its OK now. He ended up moving out by us, and the girls still see him. I get to see my dad more, and he gets to be a grandpa that our kids see on a normal basis. My dad is great, hes very nice, and respectful to me. Its been nice to have him around more.
