A Small Look at Life in Our House
I had no idea it was going to snow this morning. Therefore, I was surprised when Dillon opened our back door to let Roxy out and there was snow on the ground. Both kids were so excited that I bundled them up to play before I even started on breakfast. The first thing Dillon wanted to do was drive his truck--typical male! Alyssa enjoyed the snow also, and since it did not snow last year, this was her first real snow. I hope everyone who got snow enjoyed it as much as my kids.
Well this past Wednesday I turned 29--my last young birthday. The reason I call it that is because I remember as a child my older female relatives telling me that they were turning 29. I would laugh and say, "You turned that last year." It's funny how fast life has gone by. I can still remember my first day of pre-kindergarten. Before this year is over, my son will be having his first day!
Some of you might know that Tommy and I were debating having another child. It was to the point where we actually started trying this past fall. I kept flip-flopping on whether or not I could handle another child. Some days my kids get along great, and are the most obedient children I could hope for. (I don't mention these days on the blog because who wants to hear that my childen are perfect--boring! ;) Then there was today. I dropped Dillon off at pre-school, and Alyssa and I headed to Storytime at Barnes and Noble like we do most Tuesdays. I take Alyssa to storytime because she loves singing the songs, and it exposes her to other kids. Alyssa needs this exposure because she can be the "playground bully," and today was the perfect example. She was fine during the storytime part, but while we were playing with the train was another story. Alyssa pushed just about every other kid at the table and hit two of them. After her final warning, I had to drag her out of there while she was screaming to play with the train some more. Fun times! Who thought such an innocent looking train could cause such chaos? Afterwards, we picked up Dillon from school. While the parents were waiting outside their cars in the carpool line, I saw Dillon's teacher heading in my direction. I knew that she was coming to talk to me about Dillon. The reason I knew this is because Dillon does not always listen to his teacher at school. (The above worksheet was sent home last week.) Apparently, Dillon got into a fight on the playground. At least, he did not start the fight, but he tends to overreact to minor altercations. (He has my Irish temper.) Put these two strong-willed kids in one house, and you can imagine how crazy it can get here. I love my kids more than I ever imagined, but I don't think I can handle another one and remain sane! Therefore, the answer to the above question for right now is, "No."
