Well my bank account got massively hit this past week. Since the kids are headed back to school in three weeks I decided that I should probably get a start on the kid’s school clothes shopping. I did find a lot of great deals like apple bottoms pants for my daughter. But I still left the store $300 poorer. And the bad thing about all this. I’m not done yet! I still have to purchase all their school supplies and this is going to cost me about $200. Oh well at least they’re going back to school soon!
Happy 12th birthday Kara. Hope you have a great day! Dad, Daniel, Josh and Speedy love you very much!

My daughter is not feeling well today and I have half an idea it’s because of the heat. The past few days have been extremely hot and unbearable and I really have to wonder if her illness has to do with all this warm weather. I’ll just have to keep an eye on her and make her rest. Hopefully it’s just a little sickness due from the heat and not something more serious. Oh well these things happen so I guess we will just have to somehow get through it. She has asked me to get her some treatments for bad breath but I think a little bit of Advil and some rest will probably do the trick.
With less than three weeks left until the school year is finished I have started looking at buying a couple of grading presents. I think it would be awesome if I could afford some Disney vacations but I don’t think that’s going to happen this year. Both of the kids had a terrific year this year so I am planning on buying them something nice. Neither has asked for much for a grading present so it shouldn’t be too hard to find something perfect for both of them. Now all I have to do is find the gifts and purchase them.
So as you all know, I have a sick little boy at my house these days. Today is Friday and he has had his medication since Monday night, but he’s still coughing up a storm. So this mean is that I’ve barely got any sleep this past week and I’m completely exhausted. I have no energy for anything and I swear that if had to hop on some ellipticals right now, I honestly don’t think I could do it. I really don’t think I can go like this much longer, so I really, really hope this kid gets better soon.
My youngest son is sick once again. He’s been sick since Friday. I took him to the clinic last night and found out that he has a throat infection. The doctor gave him a prescription and he’s good to go. Hopefully this medication works quickly and he starts to feel better soon. I sure hope so. He is up every night coughing, so you guessed it… I’m up every night. I am so tired these days that I really believe if I took some sleeping pills, I would be knocked out for a week. Hopefully him and I will both get a good night’s sleep tonight.
You know it’s almost the end of the school year when the children come home asking for money for the end of the school year items and activities. The other day my son came home from school with the order form for his school year book. My daughter will end up bring home a similar form as well. Plus he needs money for two field trips. So this is how I know that the school year is slowly winding down. When the children need all this extra money. But this is also their favorite time of the school year so I guess if it cost me a little money for them to have a little extra fun, then it is all worth it.
Both the children brought home their report cards yesterday and I can’t tell you how please I was with them, especially with my daughter’s. She is in grade 6 which is a transition year in our district and sometimes children have a difficult time making the transition from elementary school to middle school. Well not this kid. She came home with all A’s and was really impressed with all her hard work. Now normally I don’t buy them a present just for bringing home a special report card. But this time I think I might. Not stainless steel drums or anything like that, but I think I might get them each a DS game just to show them how proud I am.
When the kids arrived home from school on Friday it was the start of their March break. Well…. since they spent the first two days of their break fighting, I can only assume that this is what I have to look forward to for the remainder of their time off. These two really do love one another, but for some reason they feel the need to fight over everything. Honestly if this doesn’t let up, I really don’t know what I will end up doing. Oh well, that’s life with two little people I guess. I’ll just have to make sure that I have a whole bottle of Advil on hand for their entire March break.
My daughter’s junior high is having their winter dance this coming Wednesday night. I’ve got to tell you all I was a little surprised with her by her actions over this dance. The last couple that she went to she had a blast, but this one she barely mentioned. She did mention it to her father yesterday but didn’t ask for any money for a ticket. Now… that’s not her. This morning her father did give her the money for a ticket, but he had to ask her if she wanted to go, she wasn’t begging him to go. Maybe the dances aren’t as fun for her as she thought they would be? Oh well, who knows with little kids right?
