Well I think I’ve finally got one of the kids on the mend once again, but the other one is still home sick. I decided to keep her home today as I figured she would just get to school and be calling me any. I really don’t mind having her home as she never, ever fakes being sick (loves school) so for her to want to stay home, I can honestly say she must be sick. Having one home isn’t too bad, it’s when their both home and both sick that life can get hairy. Hopefully a day of rest will help her out and she’ll be ready to go back to school tomorrow.

Even though today is the first day back for school for both of the kids after their long Easter holiday, I have both of them home today. Their both sick. If this keeps up, I’m really going to have to look into getting some cheap health insurance. Honestly, it seems like when one gets sick, then it circles our entire household. I just pray I don’t get it. So having to sick children home on the same day will not be a fun day for me at all. Hopefully this is just a 24 hour thing and both of them will be back in school tomorrow.

Well with spring arriving tomorrow of course everyone is now thinking about Easter. The kid’s have been going on about Easter (great time for presents) for about a month now. They’ve both asked for new bikes (which they don’t need) but my husband and I have decided not to purchase any new bikes this year. I was thinking about getting my daughter a terry romper and my son some Nascar clothes. We will also find them some chocolate and some toys but we have both agreed not to go overboard this year. Whatever they end up with, I’m sure they’ll both be pleased.

Last night my youngest son and I headed out to the grocery store. I needed to pick up some juice boxes and something for his lunch today. While we were walking around the store purchasing items, I stopped by the cosmetic counter. I really needed to pick up some blackheads removal cream. Well my son then inquired as to why I was looking at “girl” stuff while I supposed to be buying lunch stuff. Well, I really had to laugh. How do you explain to a nine year old, why you need to purchase these types of products?? Well, I just bought the stuff I needed and made sure that he did in fact have all his lunch stuff.

You wouldn’t believe how happy I am today knowing that the end of the week is finally here. My two youngest children were home this week on March break and let me tell you all, this was no fun for me. I’m not kidding, they spent their entire week fighting. So I spent my entire week yapping at them and now I’m in need of a break myself. Thank goodness Monday morning is just around the corner. That means that these two will be back in school and I will have a small amount of peace for a while. I really think I would rather have bariatric surgery than have to put up with another week like I did this past week. But with the weekend here and their father going to be around all weekend, maybe I’ll get a tiny bit of peace after all.

My youngest son really does crack me up. He is an extremely bright boy, but sometimes he can be so dizzy. This morning around 10:00 am I get a phone call from him (from school) that he forgot his lunch box. So of course I told him I would run it down to him. When I get to the school his teacher informs me that he told her he knew first thing this morning that he forgot it, but he forgot to tell her about it until after snack. Why wait until after snack when his snack was in the lunch box. But I laughed and gave her the lunch box anyway. I threaten this kid every day that I’m going to have to invest in some hemorrhoids treatments because he’s a pain in my *you know where*. Oh well, I wouldn’t have him any other way.

Boy my nine year old was in a mood this morning. He didn’t want to get ready for school, he didn’t want to pack his lunch and he didn’t want to walk to the bus stop. When his father asked him what was up with him this morning, he crabbed at him that he was tired. I guess he doesn’t take any sleep pills now does he. And… the reason why he was tired this morning?? He stayed up late watching the NASCAR race. I guess that will teach him now won’t it? Probably not, he’s only nine. Hopefully once he gets to school and around his buddies he will come out of his mood. Otherwise, his teacher is not going to have a very good day.

Honestly, it seems that every day I manage to piss my 11 year old daughter off. This morning she asked my permission for her to join the drama club, and once again, I had to tell her no. The problem with the drama club this year is that they have their practices every Tuesday and Thursday after school. Well these two days just happen to be the two days that I have to work. So there is no way I have time to grab her from school and get myself to work on time. I know she understood my reasoning behind my saying no, but she wasn’t pleased with me. Oh well, if all goes well, she will be able to join next year as I don’t plan on being at my job this time next year.

For Christmas my son and daughter got a couple of gift cards, so last night my husband took them to our Wal-Mart so they could spend their money. As soon as they got there, of course my son headed right for the wii accessories and my daughter headed for the DS games. Both of these kids love their video games and as soon as they have a little extra cash, they always want to spend their money on these games. Oh well, with new games to play my weekend should be pretty quite around here. As long as their playing their new games, they night fighting.

Of all the days not to cancel school due to snow, today should have been cancelled. It has been snowing steadily since last night and we are predicted to get up to 15 cm of snow before this is supposed to stop. But the kids went to school. Honestly if this snow keeps up I really do think they might cancel school during the day and send the kids home early. I really don’t understand this district. On a day that it “might” snow they cancel school, but on a day like today, school is in session.
