A New Day!!

Hi Everyone,

  So today was an interesting day, I had such a hard time waking up, and I always feel so guilty. But it is what it is... Both the kiddos seemed to be fairly cranky this morning and all they wanted to do is watch the 101 dalmatians, which is funny because my daughter has an obsession with puppies and my son wants a fire dog, just like the fire men! So it is a movie that they both can agree upon. Then it was time for my son to get ready for school, in which he was able to keep his wits about him and not become angry, and was able to dress himself (including socks and shoes). This is a miracle in itself, and I praise God that he is helping my son and the rest of the family to be able to work with my son, instead of just coping with his disability, we are able to learn and grow and able to enjoy seeing our son slowly become successful in everything that he does. This is my ultimate goal for my children, that I can be apart of their lives as a coach, a cheering squad, a counselor and my favorite, their mother. I want my kids to be able to go out in the world and know that I am always here for them, as well that in all times to turn to God as he is their ultimate guide.I want them to have lives that they can be happy with, and a job that they love doing, whether it brings them little to no money or a lot of money. Any-who back to my day, my son got ready for school on his own with no real meltdowns, and was so excited to go back to school (he hates the three day weekends) lol! So him and his dad went up the road to wait for the school bus to come pick him up. This is usually when I lay my daughter down for nap time, and this also gives my husband some down time, as he works a split shift. I try at this point to get some house work done, or phone calls made, well to be frank, because the house is quiet and I am able to hear the other person on the other end of the phone. Now it is time to wake my daughter from her nap, get her changed and head out the door to pick up my son from the bus stop. Today we left a little early and my daughter and I cleaned out my truck and now I just need to vacuum it out. Once my son was off the bus, he was a little cranky, due to being tired, and he asked to go see his dad at work. So we head up that direction, and he gets to tell his dad about his day in school and all the cool things that he got to do. He then asked his dad to go to his Grandma's house to get a Yellowstone National Park movie that he wanted to see. So my husband calls his mom and asks if it is alright that we stop by. So we head up that way, My son gets to see his grandma and get his movie and onward home we go. Once we get home the attitude begins. My son slammed the gate on our porch in his sisters face and freaking out because he did not want his sister to watch the "new" movie with him and started freaking out. For some reason he went one week wanting to share everything with his sister, to not wanting to share anything at all. It is such a frustrating cycle that seems to never end at this point. But God willing, things will get better. While my son was in school and my daughter napping, I recieved a phone call from a company for a job interview tomorrow. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. It has been 5 years since I have worked, as my husband and I decided that I would be a stay home mom for awhile, well with the government issues, it is time for me to enter the workforce again and help my husband out with the finances. I will be also meeting with a specialist that I have been seeing for the last year, regarding my weight. I need to talk to her about a weight loss surgery, since I have tired everything to lose my weight and I have stayed at the same number for the last year. I have done everything that they have thrown at me, and nothing seems to work and it is time for the next step. Well about an hour after my son came home and he was able to calm himself down, he saw a bunch of kids organizing a game of touch football, and asked if he could join in, they all said yes and they ran for nearly 45 minutes and he had a blast! After the older kids decided that they were done, I brought my son back in and he decided that he wanted to go lay down in his bed, he switch to pj's and laid down to watch his movie. I know when he is super tired, when he is willing to tuck himself in to bed without any fuss. Now my husband and kiddos are in bed, and it is some quiet time for me. Talk to you all tomorrow! Have a great night!
