I honestly don't know why I'm blogging right now. I don't really have anything to talk about. I'm just bored. Everyone else is in bed..as they should be its 11:30pm.
I'm sitting here watching E! News. I don't know why. Everyone keeps bringing up Robin Williams and it makes me cry a little. Growing up he was definitely one of my favorite actors. He was so hilarious and I loved every movie he made that I saw. D and I were actually just trying to explain Mrs. Doubtfire to Cassie when she was living with us. And my sister and I often quote the movie, the scene where he's interviewing over the phone forntje nanny position "I don't work with the males cause I used to BE one" lmao! Gets me every time! *Sigh* Anyway, that's depressing.
D said he might finish the shower wall tomorrow. Its literally been missing the front of the shower (where the faucet is) since we put it in. Its making me crazy at this point. I don't want to look at that while I'm relaxing in the tub. That's not relaxing at all. Blah. The sink is going to be a pain to put in though. There's no stud on the other wall where we want to move it so he'll have to rip out dry wall I guess. I don't know. I do know that I'm over starting projects without being done with the last one. We have the carpet in the kids rooms torn up and the walls half ass torn down. And we need to figure out some storage in the closet he tore out lol. We need to get this shit done!!
Random..I just heard a kid in the kitchen. And so it begins.
I guess I should go to bed. My eye balls are getting heavy.
Goodnight kids!
Alrighty, well it's been almost 2 weeks since Cassie moved back in and so far things are going pretty good. D basically let's her know that I control where she goes and what she does and how long she's punished for. Which is a huge step up from him doing the exact opposite last time. Telling me one thing and then doing another when she was around.
We have spent zero money on her as far as shopping goes. Which was a big cause of fights when she would come over before. She went through all her clothes this time when she moved in and we let her know that we aren't repurchasing anything. So if she gets rid of something that's perfectly fine and she could still wear it, we are not replacing it when she decides she needs it again. This goes for bras and clothes and make up and basically anything else. Because she has more clothes than anyone I've ever seen before.
She has also been putting in applications everywhere to try to get a job because we also told her that we aren't providing a phone or anything like that. If she wants to be able to talk to her friends then she needs to figure out how to pay for that. So she is trying to find something.
We still don't have her enrolled in school over here because of some screw up with how she was registered at her last school. Blah. There's really nothing we can do but wait for them to get her in. Until then we are thinking about just having her correspondence courses. It might help her get her shit together since she seems to attract the same kind of friends everywhere she goes. Losers.
Anyway, so that's how that's going.
The other kids are doing good with the change. Gaige has started riding his bike to and from school. D went and got him a new one cause his other 2 were falling apart. He thinks he's pretty cool now lol. And with his tablet I can track where he's at all times ;). Because I'm that mom.
Dawn is Dawn. Her teacher and I got together and made up a plan where she has to earn a certain number of points and she gets a reward. She has been doing pretty good with it. I don't get my hopes up too high or get excited about anything because then she will decide to go backwards. *Sigh*
The little boy is doing really well :) He's so smart sometimes it scares me lol. He loves school and he has a few friends and its adorable to watch them after school, they all say bye to each other and stuff. *Tear* My baby is growing up.
In like 2wks is mine and D's 2yr wedding anniversary. Yeah. It doesn't feel like 2yrs. But in May we will be together 11yrs. So ya know lol.
I suppose I should get to bed now. I've been dragging ass in the morning lately. It needs to stop.
It is supposed to be in the 70s all week here in cental IL and I'm not hating it. We have the air off and the windows open. It didnt seem like we got to do that for very long in the spring. Its one of my favorite things about those season changes. In the winter and most of the summer everything is all shut up and closed off to keep the hot air from invading our space, then in the winter we want to keep the cold air on the outside and the warm air in. But for those few short weeks between winter/spring, spring/summer, and summer/fall we can have the windows open and let the house fill with the sounds and smells from outside. All of which are usually people grilling or doing some other outside activity that they've missed while it was hot/cold.
Last night though there were some god awful smells outside. They filled the house and even after I shut the windows I could still smell them. For a minute I thought the dogs had gotten sick in their bed but no. It was all outside. I still have no idea what was going on out there.
Anyway- this week we are not only going to experience the weather but on Thursday I have to register all 3 kids for school��. I gotta say I'm not looking forward to the standing in line and filling out forms but I am looking forward to sending them to school and getting my life back. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all that free time cause I can't seem to find a job, but whatever. It will be enjoyable until it isn't anymore lol.
Alrighty I guess I'm done rambling for the day. I'm sure I'll be updating again soon.
