I truly don’t know where the time goes anymore. It’s already been another week since I wrote anything. The crew is fine. We had Leila and Alexander over today. Leila is 3, and Alexander is 13 months. I took all six kids to the park in the van while their mom went out. I did really well. It helped that there was no one else at the park until we were leaving. Trying to get the two littlest ones back into the van was a little like herding cats. The only casualty we had was my Alex. He did a face plant on the sidewalk and ended up with a bloody lip and a scraped nose.
The car is basically sold. Yippee!!!! It’s been on ebay twice now. Last time it missed the reserve by $700. This time we lowered the reserve. No more car payment.
I now have someone cleaning my house. My best girlfriend needs a little extra money, and I DESPERATELY need the help. I’m justifying it in my mind by the fact that we don’t live by any relatives. If we lived close to a grandma, at least I would get time once a week or every other week to clean the house. Or, if my husband wasn’t in the garage every Saturday and Sunday. Anyway, it is amazing to have the house clean and not have to do it. It’s the perfect situation too, she feels bad taking my money, and I feel bad that I can’t pay her more. 12 years of being friends will do that to you.
Tomorrow is my monthly visit with the midwife. I will have more to update then. I also have a video I want to put up for Grandmas. However, Jeff will be home soon and I will lose my computer time. Yes, the laptop is dead again. I don’t think it will be making a return to the living anytime soon either.
Lucas funny of the day. Last week I was putting him down for a nap. He is usually a real pain when he goes down. I have to sit in their room until Lucas and Nik are asleep. Lucas is lying in his bed and says, “Mommy, I’m playing with my Penis.”
Me: So. You’re in your own bed.
Lucas: Oh
That was the end. I guess he just wanted to see if he could get my attention. It worked. On the inside I was cracking up.
