You know you have keepers when you hang up on them several times and never call them back and they know not to take it personal....
You know when they call and ask if there is any way I can delete a couple of the photos in the newspress on line gallery....they are good friends... LOL
You know when they stop asking "WHY" they got your back.
one other mind sharing moment is ...I have taken down my single sites for close to two months and I am getting more "MATCHES" without having a profile than having one....HHHmmmmm, now I think I was the smart girl for not paying for sites to find dates. The companies keeping sending me emails about how many men I am missing out on...LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Now that is "jokes on you" if I ever knew one.
You are very right. I need sleep.

Oh, the smell of coffee brewing....
My baby girls are both sleeping... Two waves of buses out the door and one last to go in about 45 minutes. I hope to have a feed and catch some sleep. There was no Internet after the 2am feed which ended up being a middle of the night play session. Miss Emma needed Mommy then when I got the lights off the new baby started so Jordan wakes and informs me "mom the baby" "mom the baby" She had her feed just an hour prior, she was clean and tucked in....but nothing but holding her would calm her...then another 3/4 ounce of formula and she is snuggled...Auw,, off to sleep till 5am. then getting the others dressed..and on with my day. I can not feel the "tired" setting in yet but I know if I do not pace myself it will hit at the most inopportune time.
I am missing the monthly communication meeting which is part of the plan for Steven's education issues..I am sorry, I do not get it. I have an IEP, I get him bathed, dress him put him on the bus to school every day to get an education...I am not sure how much more communication we need...Do I really need to go to the school to tell them I want him to get an education when he gets there??? Th thought the years of college and on the job training got them to that point.. It just doesn't make sense to me. I must say I am seeing progress since I emailed bosses... I wish it would just happen..I do not feel I am asking too much. Now, today I can not meet this months meeting... I never take out newborns into the community. I guess I could ask to be on speaker phone but it is not an IEP, it is a "communication" meeting for his team to keep his education on target. My part is the IEP, it is a very detailed IEP so that is my voice.. I have an advocate maybe she will be on speaker phone so I do not get catty and disrespectful..I hate it when I do that...
I am coming on the next feed time so I need to prepare....catch up with you all later, I am on baby lovin duty

Back to school tomorrow
What a day.. We woke up today with all the children knowing a new baby needs a place to stay until her mommy and daddy found her (ADOPTION) The kids are use to this in our life and seemed unfazed with the movement of the portable crib getting put up, some minor alterations to our home, schedule and off to the hospital I go. It usually takes a total of about 7 hours and Kaitlyn is usually my side kick to watch the baby on the drive home. Since it was not a school day Keirsten went along as well, Kaitlyn was not willing to give up her role even for a day. A Long ride with the holiday traffic made it beyond seemingly forever. Many hours- yes I said hours...we drove 10 to 40 mph on I-75N. The "hospital" time was usual, 1 hour. The ride home a tad bit better than up...WOW I was shocked at the traffic.....I have never driven for such long stretches of massive amounts of cars...
Keirsten seemed the most effected; after over 10 hours on the road I guess she felt we should be "somewhere" we were back at our drive way where we started this morning. It is always a great time to connect (driving) we sang songs, I explained why I disapproved of some songs, I dissected some she liked to ask why (sexually driven) Keirsten talks about what her dreams are, how much the new boy in her life means to her and why. Not saying I understand all her passages just listen and guide. But remember I am OLD AND WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND....
I spent time with each of the kids quickly so they could get to sleep for school tomorrow. Emma was not going to sleep any time soon when she saw the little person in her mommy's room. Emma is so cute..She is all about checking out the baby and making sure her time is not neglected. How quickly she can revert back to every three hour feeds...lol and let me tell you I can not ignore her desire to have even 2 oz.... much like a puppy who must pee on top of the visiting puppy's tested territory...LOL She holds her own.
I am now ready for my 2 hours of sleep..Need to cut this here and will catch up some time around 2:30ish
