And can I add, it's going by WAY to quickly! Not only are we in our second week of October, we are less then 3 months to the holiday season (I'm determined to stay strong this year...I promise) and then next thing you know we will be in to the new year???
The old saying is once you have kids time flys and I officially agree??? Where has this year gone?
All thought I don't feel like I've accomplished much this year really I have!
On a whole, I'm in a much better place then I was last year, I'm still working in this single mom thing (some days are harder then it seems...especially lately), I'm now working 2 jobs (exactly what I needed!), I've started doing crafts again and selling them (slowly but they are selling). The boys are good over all, still getting back into school routine, with the addition of Cubs on Thursday night it's taking a little longer then expected. The older boys continue to push each other's buttons....every single day and night. Oh how I wish I had 1 more bedroom in my house so I could separate them...oh how I wish!
Alex has become a screamer (he's my oldest and is HFA), if something doesn't go his way or someone goes near him he just screams...even if he starts the game/playing first. When he's done he's done and by the screach he lets out the entire neibourghood knows (and I'm not making that up! I'm sure my neibourghs are happy that the cooler weather is here and my windows are closed). I use to think him yelling "mommy,mommy,mommy,mommy" repeatedly with out allowing me to answer was bad but now all I hear is "mom,mom,mom,mom". Gues its a sign that he is in fact growning up :(
Dalton is better over all, I figured out some of the issues he was having was due to the melatonin he was taking (he was sleep walking and peeing in random spots or in bed). I've lowered the dose and it still kept happening. So even though on a regular night he doesn't get enough sleep (he's a bad sleeper always has been...was almost 6 before sleeping threw the night on a semi regular bases) and by 5pm he's exhausted, mouthy, and just a pain to deal with, it's for the best that he's not wandering the house threw out the night! I'm hoping to talk to our doctor next visit for alternatives cause the melatonin was doing wonders for his over all behaviour.
Nathan is adjusted to daycare (2 days a week) he's know as the class clown and keeps his teacher in stitches with his witty comments (I'm sure not all are appressiated). He loves the structure, the social interaction with his "friends". He's already made 2 "bestie" as he calls them...oh he's going to be fun when he's a teen! In the last month we have been working super duper extra hard at potty training, which is going amazing well (minus the whole pooping on the toilet...he's soooo stubborn) he's even been waking up dry in the morning! Another couple weeks and I can officially be a diaper free momma!!! (Can you feel my excitement?!?!)
Me??? Well let sum it up, LOVE working!!! Don't sleep, can't get my brain to shut off...especially at night? I believe I'm officially ready to start meeting new people (hold in to your hats folks!). I've come to realize that I really am more social then I would have ever imagined ...I truly honestly miss the normal adult interaction I use to have in a daily bases when married? I miss sharing life experiences with someone who cares and wants to share them with me.
No it's not going to happen over night (as much as I sometime wish it could) and I still need to get over that whole trust thing, and realize that yes most people out there are just looking for a peice of bum (which koddoes to them) I realy truly am an old school/ fashion girl trying to navigate in a internet based world.
People don't meet like they use too, well maybe if you still have that large circle if friends (which I don't...all mine are married or with someone and their husbands don't have any friends for me to meet...yes we have asked! Only one said he could but he thinks I deserve much more then his friend could offer...awwww)
So while I say I'm ready, thankfully I still have time to get use to this idea as I explore how dating happens in 2013 (last I date was 1997)
So that a little summary of what been happening in my life! Would love to hear what's happening in yours...my blog is getting out there more now that I understand/use the labels. I even have a new follower (Hi!!!!)
