I think I came close to a nervous breakdown a couple weeks ago...really. I went up to my Mom's a weekend ago and we had a nice time, and I slept alot..with a cold that has been hanging on. We had a pretty good week this week, but I still found the need to sleep a lot. Just really worn out...but finding ways to get away, or even just rest when I need to....
Andre & Natasha admitted to me that sometimes they do try see if they can get me upset. Natasha likes to answer a math problem wrong (1/2 of 4 is....1.5?)...and then look at me to see if I get frustrated. And Andre likes to leave urine in the toilet downstairs and say that he doesn't, and sometimes do it just to see if he can get me upset because it is kind of fun... : ) . And then they both hug me later and love me soooo much. I guess at least they are being honest. And yes, sometimes I need to pull Pollyanna out of my pocket..or I'll just scream!
James had a nice family birthday today with a Star Wars, lego, game, Angry Birds, still learning how to read theme. He is nine. He's close to reading, but he's a math whiz! We're trying to get there before test time in April! My favorite quote was to our new guitar teacher that we like a lot and can give a referral to you if you need one, his quote "I wish I could stay 8 forever", that will stick with me for years. He has never wanted to grow up, and he is really sweet about it. I think he really likes being our "baby". We'll put some pictures out there soon.
No real drama this week. I was able to explain myself a little bit to a couple daughters, and one gets it, I think, and the other, I'm not so sure. We'll see in time.
Kids are having fun in the melting warm weather. Chris is making plans for our home, Jonathan is preparing for his District game this Thursday, Jaclyn will play violin at Orchestra hall, Sophia & James will have a small family party together on Sunday, and hope Jonathan will take home a blue ribbon Sunday afternoon. Katya is hoping to pass her driver's test, we'll have Granda visiting this weekend as well as Aunts & Uncles, so will be a fun busy time.
Tonight we stayed up past 10pm! We watched the last Star Wars movie, they Underestimated the Power of the Good side! And I do too, sometimes! Kids are going to bed nicely, despite the cupcakes & icecream sugar high! Chris and I will enjoy a few minutes together before we fade, and back to some routine tomorrow!
Love from Alesia & Chris
