First day of sanity (er....school)
The kids weren't too bad this morning. (this is not normal). Noah however seems to think it's prefectly acceptable to be going through a 2 year old stage.....he's the oldest kid we have full time and he at times acts the youngest. Such a headache. Finally i had to put my foot down and say no to football and anything else until he takes on the responsibilities he has. And really I don't ask much of the kids so this shouldn't be hard. My 7 year old special needs step son takes on more responsibility!! I wish I could say it was just a stage but *sigh* such is life with my son. He always resorts to "I want my dad" "dad" in this case left 6 years ago at least and has had no contact with him......I told my son he just as well embrace the fact that he has 2 perfectly good and more than REAL dads right here in town. Mike and Austin both try all they can for him. breaks my heart really. I am supposed to be on a vaca this week as I wasn't supposed to be babysitting (the ex is on medical leave for a week) but there have been some issues I guess so maybe vaca will start tomorrow. We got all the medical records for my step son so now we can get him more specialized care and hopefully get him on the right track towards the right therapy or help to let him excel. There are some who are convinced he is autistic. I am not convinced it's that but I am also not convinced he's "just slow". I know I am all over the place in this blog but this is more for my therapy anyways......at least until my mind can focus.......with 6 kids don't hold your breath LOL. I should know better than to sit here with food network on......oh boy. Usually I cook up a Thanksgiving dinner to feed a small army complete with leftovers but this year my due date falls too close to plan it that way. Bummed out on that one cuz the pumpkin cheesecake was a hit and I found a new cheesecake recipie I wanna try out for it. Maybe I'll still be able to sneak in something......hmmm......well Dryer just got done so back to this housewife gig.....(the stay at home mom job is hard but i love the housewife job :)

Not often enough.
So again you can ignore my past posts as they are quite out of date. Although there have been many changes to my life since that post I am not going to go through and update every detail so you will enevitably just have to catch up on your own. And now we start with......today.
It's Monday....usually a dreaded day of the week....and had I known I'd spend much of my time near the bathroom I would have dreaded it LOL. I'm a little over 25 weeks pregnant and this one has been interesting to say the least. Anyways I looked forward to today and have accomplished a small amount of tasks despite my set backs and will try again tomorrow for the things I couldn't do. Not that there was any real reason to look forward to a Monday except it's the last Monday of the kids' summer vacation. It's a semi busy week but I believe it's the first week I'm not stressing over some kind of sports schedule! My accomplishments of the day entail cleaning a cluttered back hallway....all I have left is the few shelves I couldn't reach without a step stool. (this will likely be done shortly after this blog) For a little catch up I am now a stay at home mom. 3 kids full time and 2 every other weekend (those weekends by the way we have all 5 of our children). And no you didn't miss it there is a 6th on the way......boy number 5. As if this isn't enough to keep someone busy I also babysit my ex husband's son Mon-Fri. and we have a dog, cat and 3 fish. And if I failed to mention one of our kids is a special needs child....don't know what it is exactly as the school has labeled him as "just slow". I am not at all happy with that answer as there is more to it than that--they're just LAZY and want a grant check. Gotta love the money hungry who forget after placing the decimal point what the real point of the matter at hand really is. Nothing exciting to this blog but at least it's a blog and hopefully I can start to keep it current and hopefully again someday make it interesting!!
