Zesty isn't feeling well, slept until 11:30 this morning, and went back to sleep at 4:45. Therefore, this is the first minute of peace and quiet I've had for a few weeks so I'm squeezing everything into one post.
Poor baby. I hope he rests plenty tonight. FOR THE PEACE AND THE QUIET.
I have only been able to chat minimally with my Mom this summer, I know she's missing me. But if she were a fly on my wall, she'd understand completely.
Where to start? oh yeah. My husband thinks he's 14 still, and broke his arm a few weeks ago playing basketball. At 3am. Did you know that 3:00 comes twice in the day? He's been off work for three weeks even though the one week follow-up visit showed no fracture. We're counting our blessings though, the man never sleeps, so he is getting a month-long vacation.
I hurried up and got a burger-flippin' job at McDonald's to make sure we had our last month of apartment rent on time. And. I'm LOVIN' IT! I do believe the words I used a few years ago were "I'll never work at McDonald's," and it's a good thing I am sweet, so that if I have to eat my words it won't kill me.
The highlight of my week was one of the young whippersnapper managers asking me if I was over 18 so he'd know how long I was supposed to be on break. I restrained myself from jumping up and down with joy about that.
Really, though, I'm having a good time. Being decidedly older than 18, I'm a mature self-starter, so I keep myself busy. It's fast-paced, the shift goes by quickly, and the restaurant is well-run.
And two words: MOCHA FRAPPE. I'm frappe happy every day.
Splenda is starting school in two days and we are so excited! Our present residence is in one school district, and our new home is in another, but the new school district took our case into consideration and is allowing her to enroll even though it will be a few weeks into the school year before we are settled in our new home.
(Did I say "our new home" often enough in that last run-on sentence? because we are signing our contract tomorrow evening!)
Back to the school - we have been able to meet most of her teachers, and Mr Lemon is meeting with the head nurse tomorrow to go over Splenda's diabetic procedures. We really feel great about this year. There are a lot of resources available in our county, and we are anticipating a big turnaround in her school work.
I've been weeding through a bunch of stuff I don't wanna have to move, and found the baby books. haha! Third child syndrome ... there was only Pinky's birth weight and one week weight check recorded.
And by the by, Miss Pinky has a t.e.m.p.e.r. Does not like toys taken from her. Wants to eat when she wants to eat. And threw a hissy fit last night because she wanted her shoes off and couldn't get to her feet. Wowzers. Girl drama starts early.
We had a pregnancy scare, but blessedly it was just a scare. It did make me think that maybe-just-maybe I'm not as done as I thought I was. Mr Lemon's exact words were "Not to be disrespectful, but I could take it or leave it."

WOW! I am exhausted just reading about your last few weeks! Hopefully, things will settle down soon, but with 3 kids, it isn't likely.

I pray the school year for Splenda is amazing and wonderful and everything she has always needed in a school, in the teachers, and in the friendships she makes!
Girl drama.....gracious woman. Iknow you have Splenda there and all, but yeah, that girl stuff it starts EARLY and it gets strong FAST. My 5 yr old is killing me with the dramatics. She's got a deceitfully soft voice, but when she's mad or something isn't going her way - you can hear her clear across the state!
Most notably, though, is your pregnancy scare and the ensuing thoughts...
As your mother (who had two daughters 20 months apart), I can say I understand perfectly the chaos that is your life right now. (And I didn't have a husband when you all were Zesty's and Pinky's ages.)
I love that your manager asked if you were over 18! That is so priceless!
