What is going on now...

Anthony is starting school today. Fort the first time ever my baby is going to school! It is a half day “Transitional Kindergarten” class. This is more advanced than Pre School but not quite kindergarten. It is for children that miss the cut off date of October 1st. It is for the children that turn five between October 1st and December 31st. I think he will do well as he can write a little and read a bit. He is more advanced than Lara was going to PreK-4. He is all excited about going and keeps on asking when he will go. He also made me buy a beautiful red apple so he can give it to his teacher today. That’s my boy! Now I know the hardest part will be letting him go. This will be hard for me to do and I hope I do not cry.

Lara is OK. She is doing better this year thanks to her one on one aide. It is hard to get used to the notion that there is a person whose entire job is taking care of my daughter and it is not me. KWIM? I am grateful though as now she can keep up with the class and do her work. With her one on one it is harder for her to drift away into Laraland. Her behavior at home is not any better though and she continues to pee and poop in her pants when she is at home. Some days I just feel all I am doing is cleaning pee and poop! I told them that there will be no pets until they stop having accidents and when I say that it seems to have an impact. Then later on I am cleaning up yet again another accident.

Greg is the same. He never changes, ever! I stayed on the couch last night. I feel asleep watching “Floristic Files”. I like to watch all those crime shows on Tru TV. I also like House, Bones, Monk and Psych. Hmmmm is there a pattern? Anyway I do not want a roommate I want a husband. Until he is a husband I stay away.

I have not been feeling well. I had some really bad chest pains. It felt like I was being punched in the chest. I finally went to see the doctor. He gave me an EEG that came back as normal. I then had a CT scan of my chest that showed the lymph nodes were swollen but not too badly according to my doctor. The pain has gone away some so maybe they were more flared up when it was the peek of the pain? At any rate they seemed to have gone down on their own so that is a good thing. I have to take every positive thing I can KWIM? When my chest hurt it took away the mid drift pain. Today when I woke up I had no pain, but then again it was 7:40 and I was too panicked stricken to feel anything. Greg yet again turned off his alarm and went back to sleep! Way to go Hun! I hopped into the shower first as FIL was coming over in twenty minutes and he can see his son in a towel. KWIM?

I know I should be grateful that FIL comes over, but I am not. He played with the children while I was trying to get Lara to eat. I was in the kitchen saying eat Lara, but instead she played with her Poppy. I mean why didn’t he say for her to eat? She had a half a Toaster Struddle! That is the only thing she will eat until dinner time. She does not eat lunch or snack at school. I sometimes thing it would be wiser to send plastic prop foods. That way we don’t have to toss it away when it gets warm. Anyway he also says “oh Geese” over and over again as I try to get her to eat or do anything else in the five nano seconds Greg has left me with. The stress is really just too much. One of us has to go. At this point I really do not know which one Greg will want to go.

I have been spending way too much of my time at Facebook. I have some eleven farms, a YoVille and a Mafia character that I go to everyday! Why am I so addicted to these things! My computer keeps knocking me off the web and these games have so many bugs it is pathetic. They are all beta versions so that in itself should tell a computer person that they are filled with problems, but do I go with logic? No I go and play them and go nuts when they enviably mess up on me. Ugh I should have stayed with my blinkies. They are less stressful and more predictable.
