Here we go again.........
It has been since February since I last wrote. I just don't have time to be on the computer much anymore. So I thought I would give it a try again. Things are busy as usual around here. Let's see what has happen since I last been here. Well we have moved to Pleasant Hill to a nice fixer upper house. It is coming along pretty well getting everything done. The neighborhood and neighbors are great! There are kids on the street all different and same ages and play together. We have street block parties. There have been 3 this summer alone. Which I really like since at our old house nobody talked to you and we lived there 10years. Tara and Gracie are getting big. Tara is in her 2nd year at Mary Jane's 3 times a week. She takes swimming lessons, ballet and does Kidzlovesoceer once a week. She is very active. Gracie started the 2yr program at Civic Arts twice a week. She talks about going to her baby school and her new friends. The girls are sharing a room now which is working out well. I thought I was going to lose a lot of sleep with them in a room together. But they both go to bed at 8pm with no promble.
Jay is renting office space now so he will be moving out of the other bedroom this week and I can make it a guestroom. Jay went to bed at 9pm he said he was emotionally drained. We had a fight about correcting Tara. Long story I don't have the energy to write it all out. But basically she did not listen to him so he decided her punishment was we weren't going to go out to dinner tonight. Which I thought was crazy because that is not punishing her but everyone. I have had this sinus/cold thing all week and have not been able to sleep at night so I was exhausted by the time today came. I have hardly eaten all week since I have no appetite for anything. So I was so looking forward to going to Sweet Tomatoes getting food coming home putting the kids and I to bed. My point was if he is going to make a punishment that affects all of us he needs to discuss it with me first. But in his mind he already said it so he can't go back on it. So hopefully we will be able to come to a agreement so this does not happen again. It has been a miserable night.

So now I am so excited about my trip to Amsterdam!!!!!!!! This time next month I will be on a plane by myself. It will be a bittersweet trip because I will miss the kids and believe it or not Jay. That means my parents will be here in a few weeks since they are going to stay and help Jay with the kids since he will be working. Got to get all those piles of mine cleaned up before they come. I have been busy with the mothers club too. I accepted the Co-Director position so I start in November. This should be interesting. I joined a book club too and actually go to the library to get the books out. Which is great saves a lot of money. I would have never tried if Liz didn't tell me how you can reserve a book online. They email when it is ready and you just run in and check it out. Takes like 3 minutes. Great since I always have kids with me. This past month we read Little Beauties and in November it is The Secret Life of Bees. I already both of them. They were pretty good. Little Beauties was good but I was having a hard time finishing it since the character Jamie was really getting on my nervous.
But I am glad I did finish it so that now I know what happen.

Busy weekend with Callie and Cole staying overnight. But the kids all play together well. They are so used to being here and with the girls it does not faze them. I have to take Tara to dance in the morning. So Jay will stay with the other kids. Then he is taking Cole and Tara bumper bowling and I will stay home while Callie and Gracie nap. Maybe we can go to Sweet Tomatoes tommorrow night for dinner. Ok it is late I can't see straight so I better sign off.

Current Mood: tired
