August 2008

After last weeks week long tropical storm and an emotional roller coaster of a weekend was over, the kids finally started at their new school on monday due to the delay from 'Fay'.

I am so glad I made the decision to take them out of public school and place them in a private school, I guess my lack of good parenting skills prompted that, ha! This year they are attending the Broach School in Orange Park.

They are on their 3rd day, and Elijah loves it! Never has he loved school. Yesterday and today when I dropped them off, Elijah was happy and smiling...I never got that reaction from him at Argyle Elementary. I sure hope it lasts, because I don't remember him EVER being happy at his old school.

I think the small class room, and his new teacher are gonna make the difference. It is so cute watching him dress for school now, putting on his khaki pants and button collared polo shirts and dress belt, almost like he takes pride in dressing for school now.

Even Christian is taking pride in dressing for school...tucked in shirts, belts. Christian is cleaning his teeth and face without being prompted and putting on deodorant! I think there must be a girl there that he likes, lol.

Christian is now on the YMCA swim team, his practices start today, and they will practice 3 times a week! and have meets on saturdays. Christian is excited about it...hopefully we can find something that interests Elijah as well. I want to take Elijah roller skating on Wednesdays with Maria and her son, but I have to work it out to see if Huck can take Christian on Wens. to swim and I take Elijah skating...we will see. I know tonight huck won't be home til almost midnight, so it won't work for this week...fingers crossed for next week.

Now onto me...I have a painful inner ear infection right now, finally got to the doctor yesterday late morning time. The doc put me on 10 days of antibiotics...and advil for the pain. I am praying for a quick recovery.

As for my emotional roller coaster weekend...I will share that maybe at a later time.

ta ta for now
