Lack of posting

Sorry for the lack of posting. First week of school is always crazy, well and then Jeff through us for a loop on Saturday. (He's doing great BTW) Right now I feel completely emotionally and physically tired, but that shall pass soon. The girls are doing awesome. Here are some fun things about them...

LEXI: LOVES Kindergarten, which we all knew she would. She loves that I pack her lunch everyday, loves all of her special classes (computers/library, PE, music, art), loves her teacher (yesterday morning straight up took two pictures off the fridge that she drew for me and decided to give them to her teacher at school), and loves telling me all about her day. She is still praying every night that she will not have to pull a card, I hate to think, but her time is comin'. Today her teacher was telling me how cute and funny she is and how she really is right on track for skills, BUT, she also told me she was very close to pulling a card today for....you guessed it.....talking. She said Lexi is very sorry when she has to be reminded, but she quickly forgets. I had to tell her teacher that my younger daughter talks even more, if she can believe it.

GRACIE: To tell you about Grace and school I will just tell you that the second day of her being back when she walked into class all the students were seated for circle time but then when they saw her they all immediately jumped up and ran to hug her (yes all of them). I was then nicely told that next time I bring Grace, if the class has already started circle time just leave her with the other teacher to cause less of a distraction. (Sorry, I guess?) So far she has only been in time out once and that was for not shutting her mouth during circle time (go figure), but she hasn't hit anyone yet so that's at least a step in the right direction. She is so cute everyday when she is getting out of the car in the morning she looks at me and says, "Mom, I am gonna have an awesome day!" I just smile and say great that will make me happy.

So, that's about it for the last week or so with the kids. Jon and I have been dealing with usual beginning of the year stuff (new kids, crap IEPs transferring in from other districts, schedules not working, and a whole new school computer system to learn with no training), it's been "fun," to say the least. But, we are managing and every day seems to get a little better. However, right now I am almost hoping that the dish people call and cancel for the third time this Saturday so I have someone I can take all of my emotions out on. Oh, that would make me feel so much better. (OK, totally not nice I know, just keepin it real!) If you want to add the dish guy to your prayer list after Jeff I am sure he would appreciate it! :)

Oh, my sister, Alissa, celebrates her 32nd B-day tomorrow on the 20th, go over to her blog and wish her a great day.
