Boohooo!!!

My hubby is leaving tomorrow to go hunting till Thursday. I don't like it, but what do ya say. I don't like guns, I don't like most of the deer meat. I have tried the jerky and liked it, and I have tried it in hamburger and have liked it ok. We went and bought a little freezer in case he gets deer so he can put the deer meat in it. The only good thing is I got money for me to spend. I saw these cool Nike shoes at the Shoe Show the other day while buying Little man a new pair. I finally broke down and got another pair for school. The ones he was wearing we had got new shoestrings for and they broke. I did end up buying new shoelaces, so he can wear them for play. He better ever never neaver niver never wear his new shoes out to play on the trampoline just for that doggy to take off and hide. I have spent $80 in shoes in just 2 months.

Well, my hubby is making pancakes and is about ready, so I better go. Little man is being silly. I forget he can read better now. He said what's the $80 for.

Talk at ya'll later.

GRRR....

Shane and I both took off work today to go to court for little man. We sat in that court room for 3 hours to hear that it was going to get continued. The reason for continuation was lame. I was so aggravated. "BioDad" did not show. When called, the man who answered said he was sick in the bed. Now come on. Where have you been for your child for 8 years. If you want to be the dad then you need to put forth the effort. I'm glad he didn't show, but now it is prolonged. BioM didn't show either but her lawyer took Shane aside and said we have nothing to worry about, it's just that they have to exhaust all their measures now before we get in the adoption process. GRRRR....... then I was hoping to spend the rest of the afternoon with my wonderful husband. He informed me that he had to go back to work, but would call his boss to see if he could just take the eve. off. His boss said he needed him so bad. Shane had nothing to do at work so was pretty aggravated with his boss. He just called a few minutes ago. All he has done is his school work for college. Doesn't that beat all I've ever seen.

I picked Little man up from school and we looked at the book fair. We got five different books. I could have bought and bought. I like to read and he is beginning to like to read and he loves being read to.

It was so nice not to have to rush to do his homework, read and get ready for bed. We leisurely came home, chitchatted and slowly started our evening.

Woohoo- Shane just called and said he was coming home early. Yeah!!!!


Well, I better get off here and get to working on my brochure for my college class. Only a couple more weeks of class. Signups for next semester are in just a couple of weeks too. Man, time flies!!!

Love,
Nikki

Talkless Tuesday

Ok, not much going on here. Shane was cooking when I got home. Didn't have to cook,didn't have to do homework. Did do a load of laundry and did iron Little man some clothes for his pix tomorrow. Will have to plaster his hair in the morning. His hair don't like to stay put.

I ended up going on the field trip with the 2 and 3 yr. olds to the Apple Orchard. They did extremely well for that group. I was much impressed. We had a staff quit. gave a one day notice. Come back today to get her 2 school agers and asked the boss for her job back. That is weird. I guess she thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. Guess she didn't get her 50 smoke breaks that she got at our job. Am I sounding sarcastic. Not Nikki!! I love her to death, but quite aggravated at the whole situation. I mean, leave your coworkers high and dry and then have the nerve to ask for her job back. Wow!!

Well, I shall go to bed now. I am so excited about Thanksgiving coming. WE are meeting my parents in KY again. Not the very traditional Thanksgiving, but I sure am excited to see them.

Have a wonderful evening.

By the way, we got some paperwork about adoption in the mail today to sign before court. HMM... wow. My mom took little man's pix to my dad's annual family hayride and let everyone see him. Awww... she did her grandmaly duties. How sweet!!

Monday Madness

The title will speak for itself today. We kept Big Bill's daughter for the night cause he had a school conference somewhere. Shane had to get up to take her to school. I got Little Man up and ready cause Shane had terrible kidney stone achage, if that's a word. Anyway, one I got to school, Little Man's teacher called and said he had no medicine. Ugghhh. Knowing Shane did not feel good, I knew I would have to run all the way back home on my lunch and get his med. Bless Shane's heart, he ran the med to me. He ended up going to work, but ended up having to go the doc to verify if he had kidney stones or not. So, he come home early tonight. It was so nice. I worked with Little man on homework and realized that he didn't have his spelling words. So, I get on the horn and call his teacher. I felt like a fool, cause I found the words at the bottom of his book bag. GRRRR, they don't belong there. Momihood is not an easy job. All I've got done tonight is supper, homework (not mine), and laundry. The dryer is still going and the washer is full still at 10:15 pm. Tomorrow Little man has a field trip and Wednesday is pix day. Busy week.

I am so thankful for how God has helped our little family. We actually sat down this evening in between my laundry and after homework and played several rounds of Connect 4. Little man loved that. Especially when he beat daddy. He loves his daddy. He was kind of sad on Sunday when he realized daddy had to go to Wilkesboro instead of to church with us. We'd have went with Shane but we were doing a special thing in Sunday School. Sis D makes it so much fun for the kids, but they retain it so well.

THis is Little Man's 8th day without his medicine to go to sleep. He has went to sleep around 8:30 or 9:00 every evening by himself. I am so glad.

Well, tomorrow is creeping on me ever so quickly. 6:15 comes awful early.

I have not been too good at keeping up my gilleon news. Times flies!!!!!!!!!! Never a dull moment around here.

Interesting evening

We had one interesting evening. I have kept the Munchkin last evening and we had a wonderful evening. Well, tonight I watched Munchkin and Child #2. It was wild. It was a whole new house for him and he pitched several fits until he either got his juice or then we ate supper. Faith was coming earlier so I put him in the bath. He loved the bath. I think he was very tired. He was rubbing them eyes and whiney. Whooooooo...... a mommy's job is not easy. Last night it was come home, feed the children, do some homework, play for 45 min-an hour, come in shower one, bath one, while one in bath read the other his 15 min book session. We lathered up in lotion and watched Free Willy quietly till Munchkin's ride came. Tonight was rather crazy. I have homework to do tonight or tomorrow. Shane won't be with me at church tomorrow. I don't feel like wrestling with Little Man tomorrow in church. Sunday was nerve racking. I may go over and help Faith with the children. I know she has her hands full. I will definetely be praying for her.

Well, I shall get off and get to bed. I wish tomorrow was the weekend again.

Have a good day ya'll.
