So it has been a while..... I must admit, my life has been a little busy. The kids are in school, I have changed my position at work. We are really busy people now.... is that really a good excuse?
Greyson and Addyson are both in school, so my day got really complicated. I take Greyson to school at 8, Addyson to school at 9 and pick her up at 12. Greyson gets out at 3. I was trying to fit work between all of the carpool. Then a position for the oncall weekend night nurse came open. Seemed like the answer to my problem. It has been wonderful. It has allowed me to shuttle the kids with relative ease and work when they aren't in school. I did however have all these daydreams of getting the house cleaned and straightened and organized in all this "Free" time I would have.....Yeah Right!
On Mondays, I am trying to nap from the weekend and go to work Mon evening, then, Tues I am napping from Mon night. I seem to spend Wed and Thurs trying to catch up and on Friday, it's time to go again! So much for all my day dreams!
It has been a big adjustment to being a Quazi stay at home mom. I never thought that I would be one of those moms. I always wanted to work. That was one of the first things that I told my husband when we were talking marriage and kids. Lord knows I'm not cut out to be a stay at home mom. I'm too easily frustrated. There has been more yelling since I have stared staying at home. I am trying hard, but it doesn't work sometimes. I think the worst is Greyson's homework. I get so stressed just trying to help him. I think he ignores what I say on purpose! He is reading really good, but his penmanship leaves something to be desired. That is where we struggle. Writing neat. Who knew it would be so frustrating to write the ABC's.
Addy is starting to trace letters and counting. She's doing really good, but she still is peeing and pooping in her pants from time to time. Yesterday she peed in her pants just because she wanted different underwear on! Things like that make you want to give her a good shake. Of course you can't but, the thought does cross your mind!
So, between frustrating moments, I continue to try to do things around the house, sometimes not so sucessfully. Pay bills, pick up, clean, things like that.
Maybe when Addy goes to "big girl" school I can get some of the daydreams completed....or maybe I'm just dreaming.......
