Good times

Jackson had his first full day of school Friday. He said he liked it and he's looking forward to going back this week. It's hard to get him to say much of what he does, you just have to ask him a million questions to get any sort of answer, but I'm glad he's having a good time and I know his teacher will take good care of him. The carpool line is a nightmare, gosh, no wonder so many parents send their kids on the bus, it's very time consuming, but I'm not ready to let my little one on the bus yet, maybe a couple years down the road.

Elena's as precious as ever, she and I are really bonding and I love having all these special times with just she and I. This morning we did manis and pedis. It was so cute, and she totally loved it!

The weekend was over much too quickly, and now that Jackson is in school I will be working more, although Elena will still be with me some. Still not sure what kind of program we're going to enroll her in, but right now, I'm just enjoying my time with her.

I had a good time at my party Saturday, didn't win, but oh well, got to spend some time with some friends and had some yummy food and lots of laughs. I'm back on the diet wagon now though, and am determined to lose some of this flab in time for my birthday, Christmas and Disney. Wish me luck!!!

Today I hardly did anything, I was so freaking drained from the past week that we all just kind of hung out in our jammies, of course I was wishing I had gotten dressed when I heard the doorbell ring and saw a friend had stopped by. lol Oh well, I'm not sweating the small stuff as much as I used to.

Jackson's first day of school

Here's a pic of Jackson and his teacher Miss Pruett on his first day at school. He was a little overwhelmed, still very sleepy, and of course I teared up. My baby is in school!! sigh.....

I owe, I owe

Things have calmed down at work a bit, my broken foot is healing I think nicely, but now my other foot is hurting pretty badly. I have lots of issues with my feet and the boot making me put more weight on my other foot and the whole lopsided thing, has made my plantar fasciitis act up horribly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can fix it myself. I am so tired of medical and dental bills.

Speaking of dental bills, I took the kids to the dentist yesterday. For the good news, it was Elena's first time and she did wonderful!!! No cavities and her teeth look great! Jackson fortunately had no new cavities, but we have to watch the front two teeth, which I knew had cavities, but they didn't want to fill them last time since they will hopefully just fall out soon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. The bill was the ugly part. I was mistaken thinking that with my dental plan the kids would get two free cleanings like I do, but since they are "specialists" I only get a 25% discount, so I paid over $200 for two teeth cleanings and an x-ray. GRRR. Drives me nuts because I wasn't expecting that extra expense and we are going to Kentucky in a couple of weeks for a mini-vacation.

Can I get a do-over?

Today was definitely not my proudest day. It was a tough day to say the least, nothing in particularly bad caused it to be so, it just was. I behaved in such a horrible way, I am so ashamed and disappointed in myself. All I can do, is pick myself back up, dust myself off, and try again.

The kids are finally back home after being with my Mom for 4 days, I forgot how much I enjoy having Elena to keep me company at work. Jackson couldn't wait to go back to school to see his friends. I'm going to look at some schools for Elena next week, I'm thinking 2-3 days a week, which hopefully will be perfect for everyone.

My foot actually hurts more now than it did when I first broke it. I've gotten it caught on several things at work, which made it hurt worse, it's not easy getting around these days, but at least my boot looks pretty, I went to Michael's and added lots of color. No reason in being plain. I think I might be going through a little bit of a mid-life crisis. Wee!!! I don't know I just think I should start doing the things I want to do and not worry so much about what others think. I posted a new blinky that I like.... Don't act, be. Yep, good life lesson I think. I'm ready to just be me. Now I've always been me, for the most part, but I still have more to go I think.

I'm weening off my meds, and I think it suits me a little better. Other than that, not much going on. Life is fairly boring right now. sigh
