School Days

As I was rushing to get my 6 yr old off to school this am I was awestruck that I am not a great teacher. I could be, maybe, and I am sure I am better than some people...Stephen has grown SO much in the last 1+month he has been in school it is amazing. He knows his numbers AND knows how to add and subtract! This Thursday is parent visitation day at school and I need to say how much I appreciate ho Mrs Drewa is helping Stephen learn and grow. He used to cry a lot when going to public functions (like AWANA) but does not any more. He also is creative with paper and crayons (Icouldn't get him to pick up a crayon and color, much less make something)
I also realize that as I look at my son's math and reading homwork I am thankful because I can read and write-that a teacher took the time to teach me and I can function in this world. I am thankful for the teachers in this world!

Lovin' life

I am so glad I got to see my longtime bud Mel today and see her mom as well. We did not do any uber girly thing like spa day or have lots of free time, but we lived life together for a couple hours and it was wonderful. I love these type of days where it is kinda rushy and contains baby drama, but in the end you look into your cup of coffee and say ahhh, another day in the life of paradise-would not trade it for anyone else's life.

Up again

I really love my newest daughter, but I would really like to sleep through the night to like 6am. Right now it is 3:03 and I am not tired 'cause I was up to feed her again. She spent most of the day yesterday sleeping, so I suppose I saw it coming, but I know I will be tired tomarrow. Here I am though typing my first blog-Mel got me started and I hope I am doing this correctly. This season of life will be short-people say and I will miss Lilly being awake at night. Most people say this and I mostly agree, but there are those older people who say they don't miss it. People who miss getting up at 2am to feed and change the baby probally should have had more kids.
