Tuesday Ten: Ten things happening in my life
1. Owen is doing really well with Speech Therapy. But I still worry that he won't be where he needs to be by the time he gets to Kindergarten. And that time is fast approaching.
2. Connor is getting so big, so fast. I've noticed that with the first two kids, I couldn't wait for them to get bigger and grow up (in a sense). But with Connor, I want him to stay a baby forever.
3. However, last night I had a nightmare that I was pregnant again.
4. I'm having a really hard time getting Connor to nap in his crib. I've only managed to get him to nap there a handful of times, and each time, he only sleeps for about half an hour.
5. But he sleeps wonderfully in his crib at night. We lay him down around 8:30 or 9. I wake him up to eat at 11, and then put him back in his crib, and then he sleeps there until 5 or 6. After that, he eats and sleeps in bed with us until I get up at 7.
6. With Adam's paycheck consisting mostly of commission, and him working in the car business, the money situation around here has been less than stellar for quite a few months now. We saw an ad in the paper where residents of Mifflinburg can apply for assistance with home repairs. We deserately need new windows, but lack the cash to buy the 16 or so we need, so we are praying that we qualify for this program. They housing authority should be coming out sometime this month to do some sort of test or assessment, and then we should hear their decision. Hopefully something good will come from the crappy past 8 months. How's that for looking for the silver lining?
7. Riley is having a great time with Girl Scouts, but I am so looking forward to the summer break.
8. I can't believe my baby girl is going into 3rd grade. After that, she'll be moving up to the Intermediate School, and she won't be in Elementary any more! But then of course, Owen will be starting Kindergarten.
9. As bad as our money situation has been, I have to say that I feel our family is complete, and I've never been this happy. Ever. Adam and I genuinely are in love with each other, and our 9th wedding anniversary is coming up in July. Getting married at 18, not many people thought that we were ready (and maybe we weren't), or that we would be able to make it work. But we love each other, and we love our kids, and we can get through anything.
10. I've been talking more with my brother Shane lately. I hadn't spoken to him in about 6 years after we moved to PA from Utah. Not for any particular reason, we just never were very close. It makes me sad- I wish we had grown up together.
