Random Musings...

So here are some things I've been thinking about lately.

 My puppy.  Yep, I bet you didn't know I have one.  She's super cute, and acts just like a puppy.  Her favorite chew toys are shoes, the kitchen table and chairs, shoe laces, any stuffed animal she can get her mouth on, and shoes.

My kids.  I had parent teacher conferences this week.  C is doing well, but he can't sit still.  As usual he has to be on the move at all times.  And then there is the fact that he rushes through everything.  He gets good grades, except in math (I think it's the way his teacher teaches it and she doesn't send home homework).  I'm taking him to the doctor.  Here's hoping!  J is doing all around great, except in math where it's a B- instead of her usual A.  She buys into the "it's too hard" nonsense.  M is doing okay.  He has trouble with handwriting, long vowel sounds, sight words, and surprise, surprise math.  But we're going to try a few things at home and see if they help.  So, all in all I've got some pretty smart kiddos!

My hubby.  He needs a sleep only vacation.  He's so tired all the time.  He leaves at a crazy hour every day and doesn't come back for fourteen-sixteen hours!  And then he goes in every other Saturday on top of that.  It really is painful when he gets crap from people saying his department are a bunch of lazy, no-good, so-and-so's.  The problem with his department is really this:  he's got four guys doing the work of eight, and they have a hiring freeze on.  So to the guys whining about it:  Shut the heck up!!!

Me.  I'm still tired a lot, and I've started getting migraines every couple of weeks that take me out for three days.  Day one: super crabby, emotional, and tired.  Day two:  migraine all day long.  Day three:  fatigue and a health dose of guilt for being such a crappy wife and mother.  I'm not so sure birth control agrees with me.  Maybe I should get fixed like my puppy.  There's a thought!

In spite of all that nonsense I'm actually happy.  Sure I want to change a lot about my life, but the big things (hubby, kids, home, friends) I wouldn't change for a second!
