IT is November...really it is
I have been doing different journals for me as a mom and everything else. I'm going to be stopping that. I can't keep it up. It is hard to cut the girls out of my life with posts. So I'm not doing that any more. Just keep that in mind please.
October was been sick month for our family. Everyone now has been sick with something pneumonia or bronchitis. So not fun at all. We are working towards healthy family again. Between Paul and I being sick it has made life stressful and I've lost my temper far to much. It is something to work on.
Book club this month was different for me. I did not take Mary with. First time in well months that I've been without the girls and talking and chatting. It was fun to go. I had read and well that makes a difference. I enjoyed everything that I could do and enjoy and not juggle. Part of me really did miss Mary. I cried on my ride there. It has been hard and major changes. It is nice to have some free time to think as well. I have finished Black Magic Sanction, The Demon you know, Rise of the Poison moon, Enchanting the Lady. I have started Unknown. I'm also reading some books to try and help me with the girls. We shall see if they help or not.
I've been taking lots of small trip with the girls over the past few months. We have gone to the butterfly place a lot. They really enjoyed it and it was lots of fun to take them and me. I think I enjoyed it more than they did. It was fun and relaxing. They like to ask questions and I answered what I could. It has lead to more and more reading for them. We have made small trips to the Ecotarium as well. That has not been as much lately. But it has been fun.
I'm looking forward to 10 days from now. My mom is going to be visiting. I can't wait to see her. I talk to her every day and it helps when things are hard. But to see her will be wonderful. It also means that I might get to sleep in a little bit.
I've not been getting much sleep the last little while. It is hard when you don't sleep and need it. My fibromyalgia has been not fun as well. I'm hurting more and well not working out. I did start some small challenges that is helping me get going again. I have done small things and soon need to workout a lot. I did pick up a few new dvds to mix things up a bit more. I like having different workouts so that I don't get used to doing the same thing. I hope that this helps me. Plus the more I do the less I'll hurt in the long run. Yes I'll still hurt but it will be less.
Halloween yesterday was fun. Really it was like 4 days of Halloween. There was something almost every day from Thursday to Sunday. The girls made out like a bandit and they loved it. It was fun for me as well. I don't know what to do with 4 gallon bags of candy now that they will only eat about 3% of. That will be for another day.
I have been doing minor homeschooling with the girls. Mainly to help with the speech and motor planning issues. It has helped but wow, it is not easy to do. Now I'm locked into it. They want it every day now. I don't blame them at all, but it is hard to plan and do everything for it. I can't work on it more and see what happened. I am surprised how much they miss it when it does not happen.
I have had a lot of up and down feelings lately. I've had thoughts that I just hated and no clue where they came from. I should be happy and excited. It is heading into Christmas again. My favorite time of the year. I love the lights and seeing things and presents and just general fun! Part of the ups and downs has been the off the wall temper. I'm not sure what is up with it. It is so easy not to get upset at everything. I just need to calm down more and go with the flow.
I'm using the Flylady Holiday Control Journal to get ready. I hope it helps me finish everything up. In the mean time I have a week to get ready for company. It should be interesting. I'm hoping that it goes great and everything works out for the best.
I am looking forward to Rose's birthday and yet dreading it. I can't believe she will be 5 years old. I also can't believe that in 3 ½ months my last baby will be one years old. They grow up so fast. Thanksgiving will be fun this year no matter what happens. I'll just plan to do everything like normal and see what happens.
I have to say I never look forward to certain parts of the week. They are stressful and I know they will always happen, but still not easy to make sure we don't have certain items in the house and clean up other things. I want to make a pie before the apples go bad but can't because of who will be here for some of those days. Maybe I can make it and freeze it. That might work.
Friends has been an interesting thing. Some are still there and some are gone now. I'm not sure if I miss them or not. Some added something to my life and others did not. I'm going to work on it and see what happens.
Amelia tests my patience every day. It is hard to keep up with everything. We shall see what happens with that. She is now 3 and that is hard to believe.
I hope to be regular again for me and for the girls again as well.
