Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the first day of school for the kidlings!!!! YEA!! I am so ready for them to get back to school...they are driving me nuts with all of there fighting. This will be Ryan's first year at the middle school and tonight he finally admitted that he is a little nervous about going..there will be all kinds of new faces with all of the elementary schools coming together in the middle school..but it is also a great way for him to meet some new friends so I am excited for him. Lee thinks that he is a hot shot because he will be in 8th grade the top of the school..that is all fine this year but just wait until he gets to the high school next year!! haha Riley is excited because she got Ryan's teacher from last year and she is a super nice teacher.

We had to take Riley in today to the clinic..2 years ago she had Bells Palsy and lastnight I noticed that the symptoms that she had from that time were back. Poor girl looks like she had a stroke on the left side of her face when she smiles. They put her on a couple of prescriptions for it and all should be good in a few days just like that last time. When she had it the first time it scared the crap out of us..we took her into the emergency room and they did a CT scan on her..she was only 7 and it is not very common for someone at that age to be diagnosed with. The doctor today told us that it is common for it to return 2-3 times in her life and things like nerves can bring it on. It wasn't scary this time though because we knew what was going on and it was just a simple appointment to get her updated on weight so that they could prescribe the right doses.

I have been majorly busy at work for the last month..my co-worker had her baby 7 weeks early and I am doing her job and mine. I don't get much of a chance to do my own job, so it really sucks!! I use to be bored at work, but I guess that isn't the case anymore!! haha Said co-worker brought her new baby boy into work on Monday...he is absolutely adorable and tiny of course. He just finally got out of the hospital last Monday..so we were all so excited to finally get to meet little Max.

How about those gas prices...they suck so bad!! We have a Tahoe and I think that we are just going to park it for a while and see what the gas prices do...the hubby is cool with riding his bike to work and I'm using his beast of a car because it is a hell of a lot cheaper on gas.

Well I am off to make sure that everything is in order for the school day tomorrow!! Have I mentioned how excited I am that they are finally going back to school!! haha

So it has been a while again!!

Well since the last time I wrote we got the boys all settled into our bedroom and we are now settled into there bedroom and I am loving the new arrangement.

Two weeks ago was our county fair..I really dislike the fair but I went anyway..even my dad went along with us and spent the whole time with us..that is pretty good for him.

My husband and I also celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary on August 14th. He took me out the weekend before our anniversary..totally surprised me and wouldn't tell me where we were going..we ended up in a small town about 30 minutes from us to this really cute little place and had a great dinner together.

Yesterday was my baby girls 10th birthday. Now all of the kids are in the double digits and that makes me a little sad..most of the blogs I read everyone as either small babies or toddlers. But than again my kids sleep in on the weekends so I get to too!! haha

Tomorrow we go for the boys' registration at the middle school and next tuesday we go for Riley's registration and before school conference. They all start school on Sept. 1st and I am really ready for that. Ya know it is the last weeks of summer vacation that they just start driving you nuts and they fight nonstop.

The weather around here has been absolutely beautiful as well..it is definitely starting to feel like fall..by 6 pm it is already starting to cool down for the night and sleeping with the windows open is wonderful. I'm not ready for snow by any means but I just love the smell of fall.

Well hopefully I will get my stuff together and start writing more..I may even attempt to add a pic of the kids on there first day back to school!!
