I had hoped to blog a little everyday, but I've fallen behind on that goal. There isn't always something great happening daily anyway, so I just need to let that thought go & journal as I can. That being said, it's Tuesday & it definately was not the most stellar day today, but it could have been worse. Mostly, it was just little annoyances that kinda got to me at 6pm tonight when the final straw of Anna screaming at Isaac at the table ticked me off. The kids weren't horrible today, there's been really bad days. They seemed to have a problem this afternoon at the pool, though, and lost the privilege to be there & we came home earlier than planned. This messed up my plan to stop at the scrap store and get a couple of things I needed. Ah well-maybe tomorrow.
We started our week of Anna's private swim lessons. Since she's too little for group lessons (they prefer at least 4 yr olds), we went w/private and Anna loves it. Today Katherine said that she asked Anna to do something & Anna said "I can do anything!" Pretty good for someone who just started lessons yesterday! So tomorrow, Anna is supposed to try the slide. She has been on it before, but not without a life jacket. Anna, by the way, has NOT had an accident this week at the pool. I elected to put her in swim pullups for awhile, just at the pool, to help prevent any more messes. She's doing great, though!
I've had to get Ellie up from her nap early in order to get to lessons on time, so she went to bed last night before 10 pm & I'm hoping it happens again-it's nice to have a little silence in the house before I have to crash into bed.
I am looking at trying to get stuff ready for the county fair, which starts on Saturday. It just doesn't seem to get done like I want & I just have a few days left. Isaac & Anna are both taking a few things and their stuff is mostly done.
I am also looking at my house-it's cluttered & hasn't been cleaned in awhile. I am also WAYY behind on my online class stuff-I haven't had time to do anything. So, I'm feeling a little discouraged and frustrated and overwhelmed right now.
On a good night, Isaac & I baked a cake tonight. He's been wanting to, so we did it after supper tonight-it's strawberry, as I didn't have a big choice of cake mixes. He loves running the mixer-I'd bake more & let him mix if I could find the time!
The kids & I went walking down the lane tonight after swimming, just for a little. Ellie came up to me & I asked her if she could walk for a little (instead of me picking her up) like a "big girl" which she actually did. (Very amazing, by the way, that she didn't insist I carry her). Anna was holding my hand and said that Ellie was a "little big girl." Very well said, Anna.
Last week, one of my college classmates invited me to be a friend on her Facebook page. So I did & boy did I find a lot of h.s. classmates and a few other friends. It's kinda fun to communicate w/a lot of these people. I haven't seen or talked to many of them since graduation. I am amazed who have asked me to be a FB friend, as some I would have never imagined they would care. It's kinda fun, but I don't spend an extra-ordinary time on it. I still have my Twitter acct. which I like a little better, and it has my scrapbook friends on it. So, I guess I am a big computer person right now.
