Friday was the 1st day this week we didn't have the boys home or have to go anywhere, i actually got to enjoy a nap with Mikey......it was sooooo nice but too short. by the time i laid down it was only an hour until we had to get up and get ready to pick up the brothers from school. but i'll take what i can get.
the boys are liking school. neal's class is working with an economy system for behavior and such. it's pretty cool. they earn "money" for good behavior. they get fined for bad behavior. they can purchase things like extra recess time, and supplies, etc. and they are all applying for "jobs" within the classroom. they have to fill out a job app and get references, it's really a great idea to teach them about responsibility and money management. neal is applying for DJ....lol. his ambitions after that aren't too high - pencil sharpener and computer tech (who only really cleans and turns on/off the computers).
jacob and zach both are adjusting well too. and i just can't believe that every morning this week has run so smooth and no one has been tardy!!! being back on a schedule feels good.
as for me, i'm feeling great, i'm ready to go back to the gym, but can't until 6 weeks. so i think i'm going to start morning walks next week - if the heat isn't too bad of course. the only complaint i have is my neck. i really must have done a number on it during delivery. the left side is almost completely better but the right side only seems to be getting worse.
mikey is the best baby ever. he hardly cries and sleeps so well. i still have to wake him for most of his feedings. it almost scares me how good he is, lol. he is having two good awake times each day now, one in the morning and one in the evening. so that's good. and b/c my babies are usually so big i only got like 2-3 newborn outfits, this poor kid, he just gets lost in everything. if he's wearing a footed sleeper he curls his little legs up to his belly and leaves the legs and feet empty. i'm used to chubby little monkeys, and mikey's a skinny-mini!
i missed my post-license exam window while i was in the hospital, i've got to contact the commission next week and see if there's anything i can do. all i have to do is take (and pass) this exam, so i'm hoping they will give an extension. i remember reading about it somewhere but just haven't put any effort into finding out more info. i have a "to do" list two pages long, a lot is marked off, but there's still a lot to do. i still haven't gotten those pictures from kodak gallery sorted out, but i will. but for today, my goal is to get to the grocery store at some point today, maybe when chris gets home from work, otherwise we're eating buttered bread & chicken noodle soup, and the baby is going to be wearing cloth diapers by tomorrow, lol.
oh and i'm super excited, we're having our house painted this weekend!!! it needed it bad, not like there's much to paint, just trim and some small areas, but the chimney especially needs it, so i'm stoked. that was one thing we really wanted to do before putting it back on the market!
so, that's it in a nutshell, here's a pic of my sweet baby boy from today for those fighting that baby fever...
