Crazy
So life has been crazy needless to say, ups and downs, even sometimes sideways, so it feels. So it has been almost a month that our neice has been with us, it has been alright, she won't complain, argue about anything and does what she is told. The downside of it is she has never done anything for herself, grandparents do everything for her, we are working with her on table manners, at the age of 8 almost nine, she should know these things already, but she doesn't and you know what it isn't her fault, she has never been shown or told what to do, they have done nothing but throw her a pity party and baby'd her and therefore, she has done nothing for herself. I know my oldest is frustrated jsut for the simple reason, my neice won't cover her mouth when she coughs or sneezes and now everyone is getting sick. I told her this morning that I wanted her to cover her mouth because I didn't want everyone getting sick and the hubby said it sounded like I was blaming her, it wasn't what I meant to say, but I guess I did, because that was how I felt at the moment. Really it has been ok, most of the time you don't even know she is here. I try not to disapline her because I know she fears me, so I let the hubby do it and he does and its not that she is even disaplined, because really she doesn't need it, it is more of manners and what she should be doing.
Last Friday I broke down again, woke up pisst ready to cry and it was because of the fricken dogs. The hubby went golfing with his dad, so I was on my own, A1 saw what mood I was in and did her best to help out with them, bless her heart, she really does try. After the hubby got home, he asked if anything was wrong and the tears started to flow, I told myself I wasn't going to do that, but it just happened. So I explain to him that my hatefulness towards the dogs is because of the amount and told him I was tired of the 2 that were in the house, they were nothing but a pain in my ass, so he did something about it, he put them in the garage and it has been so much better. I still don't like doing the dog runs by myself during the day, it is time consuming and exhausting, I have even thought about getting a job just to get out of the house cause I can't stand to be in it with the amount we have. So that is why he did something to help me out.
The girls really like school. it is amazing that they are bussed to school. although you can see the school from our house, it is because there are no sidewalks around here, pretty funny, so I thought. A1 has made a new bestfriend, hangs out with here everyday and every minute they can. Infact her friend has spent the night these past 2 weekends and will probably again this weekend. She is a really good kid, both of them are. They are both trying out for cheerleading, I think tryouts are next week, so we will see, they are practicing after school to try and make it.
A2 (the quiet one) she, I kid you not, has 2 boys that like her, one of the boys got her cell phone number from A3, A3 thought it would be funny to give it to him and he calls her everyday numerous times and the funny thing is, she doesn't answer the phone so he calls back again and again. She does amaze me you know. Tomorrow I will find out what it is going to take to get A2's tooth fixed. What ever it takes, we will have to do it.
A3 is so out spoken, she reminds me alot of me, the difference is she has alot more self esteem than I ever did. If you were to ask her if she thinks she is hot, her answer would be I KNOW I AM HOT. With that much attitude, it is amazing. I give her credit, she has it all, she is really bright, pretty, attitude and self-esteem. What more could you want at that age.
A2 and A3 I guess are doing good in the same class, I haven't received any calls or letters, and for that I am glad. I am happy for them because they all seem really happy and that is important.
Everyting is ok here, it feels as though it just keeps going and never slows down, but I guess thats alright, I would rather have it that way, then not.
Well I guess I will go for now, I will talk to you soon. Love you |
