A rainy Saturday

The morning started early...THE PHONE. A kids line that needs some rules attached to it, woke me up throughout the night. Emma is back to getting a middle of the night feeding since school started because she is asleep by 9 pm, so additional interruptions to my sleep. All part of my round the clock parenting. When Nancy or Gail spend the night they are amazed to the amount of parenting that is required through out the night...I have a couple owls here, LOL.

Keirsten has made the move to being interested in BOYS, High School for her is a more grown up environment; she is sorting through the new attention...SIZE 0 and a very pretty girl. This year sh is without her crisis driven drama friends to feed off of all day. She is finding the attention from some real man whores... SORRY GUYS! The football players using just that..Jock on campus trying to get the pretty freshman..Well Mama is on top of their game! I am watching the IM and have a 3rd phone in my room to pick up and listen on mute at any time I choose... Keirsten is "talking smart" for the most part. The boys are just gross! I took over one IM when some jock went to talk about sex....I simply typed, NEVER EMAIL OR IM ME EVER AGAIN! and cut him off her IM friends.... she said he didn't talk to her at school yesterday.. she couldn't believe it was that simple.

Kaitlyn is struggling with a bad ear infection, her ears are draining and smell awful. I will get her to the specialist again to figure this out. She is deaf in one ear and when the good one is infected it makes her hearing null. She loves school. She loves being home more as she has a real live doll to play with and sh loves it. Taking newborns until the 4-ever family comes is like getting a new doll baby to play with and she gets excited to help as my little mommy.

Steven is working hard in middle school, it isn't the most favorite thing for him, he just loves to play...I talk to him about coloring on his school papers as not acceptable The social studies now has maps which everyone colors with colored pencils..HE IS A HAPPY BOY! He is talking more and more...Today he will be lost if it doesn't stop raining. The pool is his favorite activity.

Jordan is active this morning, first question was "SCHOOL?" I said no school it is Saturday, he ran to the door to let me know it is raining at about 7 am. Then to the TV room for Jurassic Park. I showed him Saturday morning cartoons but he wanted no part of them.

Tressa is in the bath, it appears she has been up watching TV most of the night.. she loves to play in the tub, sings, makes bubbles swims and just has her personal time. Tressa has had a challenging first few weeks of school adjusting to new people in charge... She has a new paraprofessional this year and tried to take control .. You see this women can not do stairs and has to use the elevator. Tressa realized if she does a flop to the floor this woman can not get her up so when the elevator door opened Tressa flopped to the floor leaving this woman in a bad spot.. Thank goodness another teacher saw/heard the commotion. She got Tressa out and now Tressa can not go into the elevator although this puts a burden on staff because one teacher has to leave their class as the para covers so Tressa can be supervised going up and down the stairs... Then she turned over her desk, dumped a shelf and got a bit aggressive in the classroom hoping to get out for a walk...last years pay off for this behavior.. This year the teacher explained to her that no one is being called, that you are going no where and in time you will need to clean up all the things your have dumped over before you go to lunch... Tressa sat on the floor hoping for attention and the teacher returned to instructing the class as Tressa bright eyed in shock stared at her...in about 15 minutes Tressa put very thing back together, sat in her seat and seemed pleased with the big smile she got in the end from her teacher after she was sitting at her desk doing he morning work. This teacher is in contact with me and has my support 100%..she stated Tressa is a lot of work, but she just loves her!

Lucas is sitting on his bed watching Disney with a big smile and has his Tigger piano on his lap...

as I have been typing this Emma is laying next to me playing on my bed with her activity bear having her morning BM which has taken over the sell of my room...


off to change Emma then to the kitchen for breakfast of champions... I hear

"Mom, I am hungry"
