It has color and a vegetable

This morning on the way to the sitters, Nathan pipes up from the back seat. "Mama, I want to hear the green beans." The green beans????

"Nathan, do you mean the Black Eyed Peas?"

"Yeah mama, thats it!"

09-17-07

Sometimes figuring out what to write is not as easy as it seems. I have been going through a lot this past week. I need to do a lot of changing and I will start a little at a time. I know (read: hope) that it will happen, and I don’t expect miracles.

Let’s start easy.

Trenton

He is doing okay. He is having issues at school. Issues like not being able to keep his mouth shut, lol. Those were also my issues in school. He is having a blast everywhere though. Constantly out playing, or in playing video games, usually with Andrew. He is doing well. He did lose his scooter though. He left it in the street and Terry about ran it over, so he got in trouble and can’t have it back until this weekend.

Nathan

Oh dear, where to even start with Nathan. They changed his school. They moved him from the actual pre-school to an elementary school that has one, yes one, pre-school class. He is having a little trouble with the drop off, doesn’t want to leave his friends at Parker. Otherwise it seems to be okay. Wow, that really didn’t take much to explain, although it had me up and down for over three days.

His speech is still greatly improving. He can say his “f” sound 90% of the time now, and his “s” sound is coming along nicely. If the word ends with an “s” then he nails it about every time. If the word begins with an “s” then he gets it about 30% of the time, much better.

Scott

Scott is, well, Scott. He is taking a little bit to get used to the school sleep schedule but all is going well on his end. He is counting down the days until his vacation in October.

Me

Well, we all knew it was coming at some point. I have to work on taking better care of myself. My blood pressure is astronomically high for being 32 years old. Both my parents have HBP and I had it when I was pregnant (which makes it a predictor for me) and well, lets just say I had a hard time coming to terms with all this last week.

I had an actual panic attack, where I actually thought that I was having a heart attack. It was not very much fun, but I have calmed down a lot and actually the only thinking about it this weekend was yesterday when I was making a ton of breads and muffins, and I overate. That’s okay; I will be back on the ball again this morning. I think I may start a private blog just so I can track my eating and exercising, plus my weight and blood pressure if I get it taken.

I also signed up on a website, The Daily Plate, and have been trying to keep track that way, but I forgot this weekend, so again I will start up today, and go on. The thing about changing yourself is that it is hard, and I am not going to berate myself for forgetting one day or so, and just going to start all over again. They say it takes a month to make a habit, well dammit that’s a long time.

So that’s life in my household at the moment. It’s a rough road on occasion but we will survive. /nod

EQUpate

I haven’t really been doing much in EQ. It is getting very hard to find a group especially with Arzania. She has dinged 64, just 6 more levels to go and I will be there, but hell, at the rate I am going, it might not happen before the expansion, gah. She dinged AA 86 last night as well. Go Arzania.

I need to get Krys to AA 100 as she is only 19% away from it. I need to sit and bust out a lot of food on Zymeria so I can make some money. Everyone is level 70 Tradeskiller except Arz, but she is level 60 and I plan to start working on her this week. I just need to harvest a few pelts. I will do that on Krys, so I don’t have to fight anything.

LoN held my attention all last week, but I am actually getting annoyed by it, I need a break, as I played it all. the. time. So there! =p
