New place again.

on Tuesday, August 30, 2011

I know, I know. I change blogs too often. Sorry about that. I was going to have two separate blogs. I was going to keep this one for family related things, things to do with M and the like, and the other one I was going to blog other things, like my interest in gardening, photography, cooking, etc. However, several people made comments to me that they would rather just have one blog to read. So I am going to TRY to smoosh it all into one blog, the new one... IF I find that it gets too chaotic over there, then I shall post family/M related stuff here and the other stuff over there, as I intended. If you do not already have the URL and would like it, please drop me an email at jen dot henderson at gmail dot com. Thanks...

This next week is shaping up to be a busy one! Today so far I have cleaned the bath, made the beds, gathered the laundry and started a load, made breakfast, snuggled with a Pea, watched Spongebob, straightened the living room, put a ton of toys away....and now I am blogging! I still have to vacuum, damp mop the floors, shower, and get out of here to meet someone in town for some REALLY cool pink lights (for M's room!) that I snagged off of a local 'flea market' Facebook page, and then it is off to civilization to get the Pea school clothes! Then, this evening, we have to meet her teacher between 5:30 and 7:30. I am both excited and nauseated about this. LOL. I mean, I am SO excited for my little girl to start this part...

Oooh boy.

HAHAHAA... Early bed time FAIL for sure. M is in her room, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Living is the WORST thing in the WHOLE WORLD!!!" And then she mumbles that, "This was to be my best day EVER.. now it is RUINED!" Drama much? Time to cut back on the Spongebob, me thinks. RO...

Routine

on Monday, August 15, 2011

This is the week to try to settle into a routine. M goes back to school on the 21st. We have been letting her stay up pretty late these last few weeks. It has been nice having her up and around with us, out playing in the yard til dark and having fires and stuff. It is time though to get back to 'normal', and that means a 7:30 bed time. I started last night. Bed time was 8 p.m. She resisted a bit, but it was not too bad. She did not get a bath, and she totally should have LOL! So tonight, I have to have dinner ready by 5, the kitchen cleaned up shortly thereafter, a bath for the pea, and her in bed by 8 tonight. Then, tomorrow night, we can do the same and aim for 7:55 p.m. I figure if I can up it by 5 minutes each...

In three days, my baby will turn 5 years old. *cries* She is an amazing kid. She is a bit lippy at times, stubborn as all Hell, and a bit feisty too. But she is smart, she has an amazing imagination, and she is lovable. I could go on and on, there are just not enough words to describe her. She is wonderful and we love her so very much. I am quite proud of the kid she is. She whines too much and is a bit of a drama queen (see stubbornness listed above lol) but when she hugs me for no reason and tells me that she loves me? *sigh* She starts Kindergarten on the 21st. We have her 5 year check up on the 18th. We get to meet her new teacher and see her new school here in the next week. Lots going on! For her birthday, my mom...
