CHURCH MICE

After church I stayed because Scott is Finance clerk . Well Ashley Granness asked me to come here and look in the water pitcher she was getting ready to put water in it for nursey well i did and was DISGUSTED there were MOUSE dropping in it and well I said shut the door I went and got scott We tried to catch it no luck it ran into the chapel .We started cleaning out the nursery closet and well there were droppings on the toys papers in bins they out runs another mouse tried to get number 2 ran into the chapel . Started cleaning more and well she said get the bucket i did we got number 3 and throw him outside . Alot of food had to be throwen out and other fun stuff even the felt board. The bummer part was the Big box of goldfish crakers they chewed through the bags
3 shelves were covered in droppings and the shelves have been chewed up. It was fun watching Bishop booth and Thurber look at each other saying I thought you were taking care of the mouse . I guess they knew about but 3 yikes . What a fun day

when organizing gets the better of me

I spent the better part of 3 hours yesterday cleaning and organizing my kitchen. I moved the fridge swept under it and moped where it was sitting boy was it nasty then i decided to move the fridge to a different location well i did that 3 times before i was satisfied where it was . Then i did the same thing with my china Hutch which holds my spices and other cooking ingredients instead of china . Then i cleaned out cupboard and a drawer re organized where my dishes went. all in the process of this I pulled a muscle in my back so just typing this is painful and I sliced up my finger when mopping around the back of the fridge my finger got stuck under it and when i pulled it out it got stuck under a metal part. But i am very satisfied in how open it looks know it makes my small kitchen look better.
If Tia and Jen read this Laurie Geeter had her gastric bypass surgery Tuesday
Plus Noah has been behaving better in school

children's laughter

is a cure for a bad day it is just nicholas and me during the day so we have fun chasing each other all over the house and getting in tickle wars it is fun . i like hearing his cute laugh it makes me smile to know he is happy and he goes mommy i want a baby sister all 3 of them keep talking about a baby sister but for know i got to go tickle my baby before i blink and he is away on his mission

DIsappointments in life

we all have them but it feels like mine are happening every day . Some of you know Scott and I have been trying for the last year to have another one but it is not happening. Maybe it is a good thing due to finances or the way certain family members would react . this one family member once told us one is to many. this member also said not using birth control is like playing russian roulette with your life .
My mom and dad especially my dad knows my family is not complete yet and i know that .

another disappointment lately is scott and his job. he is unhappy in it so he is not happy at home . he comes home plays computer until 1 or 2 in the morning gets up at 6 to get ready for work and leaves at 630 to catch the bus comes home at 630 pm . This is causing stress in our marriage . I used to be so happy to be with him but i think after the 2 year when he got laid off he got into this depression he can't get out of and it is tearing us apart he promises he will stop this computer habit but it keeps going on
I am hoping he gets this job with homeland security he got a notice in the mail to stay fit until they call him to do training since he passes the written part of the test the physical part the drug part the background part all he needs to do is pass a video part.
if he enters the training he will be gone for 4 months . he is worried about leaving me behind but he dosen't have to be i have friends who will take care of me .

Like hilary i needed to vent but i wanted people to know what is going on with me to see if they can help me deal with these negative feelings i am having

RECITAL

Rainey playing ode to joy mom playing O my father
rainey do as i'm doing

tomorrow is my Recital

I am so nervous . I am playing my favorite hymn Oh My Father . It has always been since I could understand the words. I was so glad when I found a great teacher who knows I am a slow learner and is quick to get upset when I don't grasp it the first time we have been working on trying to get me to memorize the piece but i got a couple measures down but that is is so i get to us my book . Rainey has been taking lessons also she is playing Ode to joy first 8 measures then Jesus wants me for a sun beam .
Hope all goes well .

We are working

with noah and his teacher at this point . We sat down yesterday and talked to him and told he we want you to have a yellow day which is an ok day or a green day which is a good day i don't want to see any more red or blue days which are bad and really bad days. The teacher and the principal and scott and I talked yesterday. For now he is at his own table by him self when he found this out he cried we told him there is no lunch recess for the rest of the week and no music and art either until he gets a yellow or green . I know it sounds harsh but he needs to learn he can't behave or keep his hands to himself there will be conquences . We are also having see a school counsoler the principal thinks he might have ADHAD (ATTENTION DEFICIET Hyper Activity Disorder) scott doesn't like this but i told her 3 out of my 5 nephews have it even a couple of my cousins have it. I was also given a lis tof books to read by Courtney to see if that help.
I really appperciate the support you have been given me the last few days .
I walked the kids 1.5 miles to school today to see if wearing of excess energy helps i hope that does
I even laid down a few rules today that we expect yellow or green today and had him repeat it 3 times to day
i go pick him up in an hour lets see how it goes

noah

has been sent home not even an hour into school he decided to play barber shop with a little girls hair today i was helping Michelle with house work while she took a shower and relaxed so they had to call Scott and they got mad because he had to come after 11 to get him they said we really need an emergency number were you can get them with in 5 minutes
what am i to do basically this teacher labled him a problem child the first day he got out of line and wont work with us or with him she said he isn't ready for school he should be in kindergarten next year my son is almost 6 i hope the principal will listen to use in switching teachers if not well we will pull both our kids out of school and find one were they will work with noah and challenge rainey

my dad said find a free chater school were they help out and work with the stdents it shaped up my brother and made him smarter

kids and school

Noah is one short day of getting suspended he has no respect for the teacher and he is getting his friend in trouble also by his mis behavior . He is playing in the sink in the classroom throwing water everywhere spitting everywhere and blowing in kids faces he is cutting up everything but what he is told to do he is even peeing on the bathroom floor in his classroom . throwing his pencil in anger not doing his work

Lorraine is doing fine it is the teacher we don't care fore. Rainey is a smart girl who is getting bored awfully fast the teacher gives them worksheets count how many in the row and color that many
plus you are graded on coloring she is in first grade she gets marked down if she is out of the lines or if there is a little white spot left or if she doesn't color in the same direction . i am 28 and i still have a hard time coloring in the lines or not leaving white spaces since when do they grade coloring
give me a first grader that has perfect coloring
I don't know what to do i am at my wits end

Nicholas is to funny

he was walking around in my heeled shoes yesterday and Scott asked him to take them off
he said I can't daddy they are my High school Musical shoes. He has never see that movie I guess he got it from the commercials

cool song

I heard this cool song on the radio it is called Stop and stare by one republic.
i really like it it makes you think about life how you should stop and look around you you never know when it will be your last time to stop and stare check out the music video on you tube it takes a minute into the video to hear the song start.

my little helper

I asked Nicholas to take a blanket downstairs to the washer to be washed. He was down there a while he came up and said there is a mess downstairs well there was all over the basement floor he tried to put in the detergent also he dumped half the bottle all over so i moped it up with towels and now i have real clean fluffy ones. lucky me
