Was worked..........turned to kids

I love my job. Having a daycare is so rewarding. It's naptime but because it's raining cats and dogs again the kids get to curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch kids shows for a little while. Chances are they will be sleeping fairly quickly. We just watched the end of Winnie the Pooh and now they are watching Mickey Mouse. They are adorable as they hug their sippy cups and tiggers. I have a little me time before getting lunch ready for them, if they crash they will both be out for a good 1 1/2 hours usually.

I get to watch my own son grow up, be here for him every day and have fun. I'm home when the big kids go to school and i'm here when they come home to hear about their day. My baby girl is 5 and just about done SK and her stories are who she isn't friends with anymore, but then by the end of the day they have made up again. They usually stop being friends because one wants the blue marker the same time the other one does or one child doesn't like the picture the other one coloured. She did achieve 100 good listening dots and brought home a certificate yesterday which she was so proud to show everyone.

Zachary is almost done Grade 2 and will be moving onto the Grade 3 in the fall. He goes to me last week and says "wow mommy, i'm sure smart. And to think they didn't think I could handle Grade 1 even" See he isn't the fastest of workers but he always gets it done and he doesn't care if everyone is playing and he is still working. He sets his mind to it and does it. He does it well usually too.

Alex is my sports kid. Anything to do with sports that he wants to do he does, and it comes naturally usually. He comes home and tells me how many goals he got at recess or all about whatever sport they played. I don't here much about his academic work. The big thing I did hear about was his midevil unit at school. That is the big grade 4 unit that most kids look forward too. I can't believe that my first born is going to start 5th Grade in the fall, already. He was just a teeny tiny boy who could barely walk and got excited when his daddy came home. Now my last born is past that stage already.

Being able to be here for my kids is a great thing. With hubby still not working 7 1/2 months after his fall i'm not sure how much longer I can stay home for.

Annoying

Some things in life are so freaking annoying. One of those things is the fact my husband feels the need to add most of my friends to his friends list on facebook. Just because he sees a person he has to add them if he knows who they are even if they don't ever talk. I had facebook first. Fair enough that he adds some of the same friends, they are both of ours. But he has added people he hates just because they are on my list. Now I have added some of the kids soccer coaches, and he wants to just because I did. Let me have my own friends and acquaintances already!!!!!!!

Also what is annoying is when I make new friends he scares them away because he is always talking/messaging/phoning them bugging them all the time. I have had friends that will no longer come around because of him. He gets obsessed with them. I don't have to call my friends all the time and beg them to come over like he does. I need to life part of my life for me and not him. I can make and keep friends but he makes them and scares all of them away and then scares mine away. Why can't he understand new friends don't want to be harassed all the time and don't want to constantly be at our house or go out with us or have us there. Once in awhile fine but not all the time. It's not just me thinking this about him but other people too, he scares people away.

Proud Moment

Alex has been waiting forever for his turn to be a ball boy for the Chill games. Well today his dream came true and he was one of the 8 ball boys around the soccer feild. A very proud boy for sure. The first half of the game he got a good amount of action in the visiting end of the feild. The second half however he played right beside the Chill net and only had 1 chance to through the ball in. He was happy to be at the feild, happy to eat pizza and drink orange flavoured water at half time and happy to be part of the same game as his hero. I know this will happen more this year, a perk of being a reserve player. It was a hot day for the game too. Kick off was at 11am and it was already 19C outside.



After we had a picnic lunch and then Brad stayed at the feild with Alex for his practice and I brought home the rest of the kids.
