Hello, Who knows who is going to even read this but here I go anyways! Let me start out by saying I have 4 kids,3 cats, and 2 dogs. I am sitting here and I have so much to do but don't know where to start. I could clean my youngest sons room, scrub the floor, or even go out and try to get the ice off the driveway. So instead I am sitting down not doing anything but writing this and not accomplishing what I should.
Well as of two weeks ago I started back at work. I watch a little 14 month old in my home. I have been watching children in my home for over 7 years now. I love it!! I just wish I had more energy and more space in my little home. It is what it is and I just keep moving forward.
Well my children will be home from school soon. My oldest child is 18 and I still have to say that out loud to myself sometimes. Then my oldest son is 16 and is a 10th grader. My youngest daughter who is 13 and is already taller then me will hopefully grow up to be a very good athlete. Then there is my youngest son who is 9 and is about the most active boy I know of. He recently broke both bones in his right fore arm and that only slowed him down for about a week. I still think it hurt me more then it hurt him. I still have nightmares of what his arm looked like before he got his cast put on. It was weird having to do stuff for him like feeding him and helping him put his clothes on. He really is a trooper though!! I am just so proud of all my children.
I am married to a wonderful person. Lazy at times but overall he is a good husband.
Well tonight I think is going to be a easy dinner so there is not much clean up to do after we eat. The best kind right? I also think I will get the laundry done and I will probably cave in when it comes to trying to get that darn ice off the drive way.
Later, Andrea
