First day back to school!

I guess I should have updated yesterday about this. Max's first day back to school on meds went well. Miss Sarah said she didn't notice a change in his activity level, but Sparkles the tooth fairy was there so you can't blame him for being excited. Haha!! He did have less outbursts and seemed to be able to stay on task better though so that's a good start. When I picked him up yesterday afternoon he was in music class. He sat on the floor with his little legs crossed listening intently. I couldn't believe it and wouldn't have had I not seen it myself. I guess the meds are working!!

Alex has his 18 month appointment later today so that should be interesting. I'm thinking he has fallen off the growth charts, but then I remembered that their scale weighs differently than ours. Maybe he is doing ok. He's definitely active and that probably burns more calories, but we shall see.

I'm back to work tonight after having 6 nights off. I'm soooo not looking forward to it, but I know it'll be fine once I get there. I do look forward to getting some real sleep this week without the kids interrupting me 5 times. And no little knees in my back and arms across my forehead.

I'll try to make it back tonight to let you know how Alex is doing, otherwise, I'll definitely update later this week!

Back home!

But you probably didn't even know I was gone. I took the boys this weekend and headed up to MI to see the grandparents. We were going to stay until today, but Max and I decided that driving while the kids were sleeping would be a better idea. They got up just in time to go to school today which was nice for me. I took a nice long nap when I got home and finally got up and around to start unpacking. Laundry is being done now and I did the dishes earlier. So proud of myself. Stinks that I have to go back to work tomorrow.

My dad looks good. He looks like he lost a lot of weight, but I'm sure that won't hurt him. My brothers were around all weekend doing yard work and other heavy duty stuff that my dad shouldn't do and he spent the weekend supervising. It was pretty entertaining to say the least. My mom had an awesome dinner Sunday afternoon, made by neighbor Pat, and all of us were there. Haven't done that in a long time!

We also spent mornings with grandma and grandpa. They are doing well and of course loved having the boys over. It was warm enough Friday evening when we got there to play outside so the boys got to squirt each other with grandpa's hose and get completely soaked. We also headed over to Mike and Katherine's yesterday afternoon so Max could play with Splendid. They had alot of fun. We had pizza and cupcakes too which was great! I'll always eat cupcakes ;)

Max started his Ritalin this weekend as well. My little man could swallow that pill on the first try with no problems! I was so proud of him. Each time he had to take one he would show me his mouth so I would know it went down, and he was pretty excited about it too. I can't say I noticed a huge difference, but I could tell when it started wearing off so it must be working. Today will be the real test since he's at school.

I guess I really don't have much else to talk about. I thought there was more, but nothing is coming to me. I need to get back to work anyway so I'll talk to everyone later!

Oh Miss Jessica!! Read here please!

What happened??? I was going to talk to Beth but there were several other parents around and I was in a hurry since it was already after 5. Tomorrow won't be much better since we are leaving for Michigan. Please leave me a comment, e-mail me, call me, something!! Rajah1000 @ gmail.com without the spaces. I'm dying to know whats up. You already looked in a bad mood this morning so I'm sure you were ticked about something. I'm going to miss you so somehow this will not be the end!!!

For everyone else, none of your beeswax! Haha, just kidding. Not much new to report. Had Max's first counseling appointment tonight. He acted all shy at first, was a little obnoxious in the office, but overall did ok. We'll probably start out doing this weekly for awhile and see if it helps. They are hoping Tim can come next time. He was supposed to be there tonight, but too much going on a at work. GRR!

Heading to MI tomorrow to see the grandparents and Max is very excited about that. Alex is just cranky so I think I'll be putting him to bed any minute!

Boredom post!

I really want to be scrapbooking right now, but I cannot focus so here I am. I have the news on in the background and decided I would come here to talk about it rather than calling Tim at work. He'd kick my butt.

Let me preface this by saying I still do not know who I am voting for come November. However, I'm finding the democratic race to be quite humorous. Hillary is soooo smug about her win in PA boasting about how she's still in the race. Did she read or hear about the stuff where tons of Republicans changed their party lines a short time before this election so they could vote in the democratic primaries. They are voting for her because they feel that their candidate is more likely to beat her in the end. She isn't going to get those same votes when the real election rolls around.

Does she know all this, and just has to play dumb so people think she's confident. Or does she just not get it?

I can honestly say I do not want to be voting for her come election day. I've had enough of that family..although I've had enough of the current president as well.

I usually don't talk politics because I can't back my beliefs up with facts, but this just really struck me as funny! I say GO OBAMA because then I feel like I'll actually have to do my research in a few months rather than making a decision based on default.

K, that's all I have for now. I should be back but we'll have to see. As I said, I'm not very focused today. I am going to see my parents this weekend though so I'll definitely have that to talk about in a few days!

My daddy is home!!!

Well, not home as in back in Michigan, but he has finally been released from the hospital. They let him go last night. He's eating and doing great!! They have a flight leaving Florida first thing in the morning on Wednesday and should be home that afternoon. I'm so excited. Now I can't wait to get up there and visit. Hopefully I can work that out soon.

No more time to post tonight. Had a great day today, but not nearly enough sleep considering I worked last night and I'm working again tonight. I was outside with the boys from 1:00 when I woke up until 5 when I finally coerced them inside with the promise of a bath. Alex was clean and in bed by 6. Max was clean, helped pick up the basement and in bed by 7:30. I'm showered and now I'm taking a nap. I will try to update more tomorrow if I have anything to talk about ;)
