this past week in review starting with Lucas and Kethry
Kethry's monday class went well. My Wednesday class went allright and today we see how Kethry's cheer class will go.
Lucas is saying Kethry now and said up yesterday. He likes to call me, move me around then look at me soulfully with his arms lifted, to have me pick him up. He's very confident with himself such as getting up and down on chairs. He's been known to get up on the tables and dance. He seems to love to dance.
Kethry is working on her expensive EVE from Wall-E. She suspects that I got her the Wall-E too. I did. so when she finishes her very, very long sheet of stickers. I'm giving it to her.
While we were shopping for toys for Brynlee's birthday this last Tuesday to go to the party on Wednesday, I bought Lucas some toy trucks. I was foolish and put a toy in his face. Then he didn't want to let it go. He indicated he wanted to go to that toy when I put it back. So, he wiggled his way out of the straps in the cart, stood up, grabbed the toy and put it in the card. He understands more than I think. Like yesterday, when I was talking to Kethry about turning off the TV and the consequences of not obeying, and not listening, Lucas just got up and turned off the tv then came back to the dinner table.
I had a headache yesterday. It was a long day with about 4 hours involved in my Mom's physical therapy appointment with picking up the niece and nephew to watch the kids, the travel time, wait to be seen time, wait while being seen time, travel back home, travel back to their house. So when I got back, instead of the chicken tortilla casserole, the kids got hot dogs and chili. Kethry didn't finish because she got sent to bed. They both didn't get baths. again, headache plus Kethry lost hers do to bad behavior. Can't do that today though.
I started following flylady. It's helped me bring the house into cleanliness, little by little. When I cleaned like crazy the other day, I dusted my room, the blinds, the lamps, tv, dresser. Yesterday I cleaned the lightbulbs in the bathroom, I have 4 more to go today. You can really see the difference. I also want to clean the fan. I feel that getting all that dust out of my room will help with the allergies. Too bad both Scott and I are feeling so tight and achy lately. I'm trying to combat that with yoga. Yoga works when I do it, I just don't always do it. Scott is getting stretching and massage from me for about 10 minutes each morning. He had a little extra last night after he got wore out from preparing chicken stew. I helped him a little but I was hurting too. Still am dealing with tight shoulders and my big right toe is doing something. sigh. With the cleaning, Last months habit was shining the sink. That is not yet a habit for me as I've only been trying to do that for about a week or so. This months habit is keeping the counters and toilet of all the bathrooms clean, everyday. I'm not confident that I'll be up to that. I missed the kids bathroom last night. It's also time to start decluttering. Scott's area got cleaned, emergency like, because the Tylenol bottle dropped and there was no place to put it back. That snowballed, but I got it all done.
I should check to the garden. We forgot to water in the afternoons these past 3 days.
