Wow, someone please remind me to never plan my first day back at work after a vacation to fall on the last day of the month. End of month change-over is hell enough normally but when you are trying to get back in the groove after two weeks off it fully sucks. Last night was full of running my ass off and tons of paper work from the time I walked in till quitting time. Enough whining bout that.
Next complaint, who the HELL ordered freezing temps in Mid-MO, because I so did not approve it. This is the time of year I would give anything to be back in San Antonio. May need to do a vacation there sometime in the near future as Corbin keeps asking to go for a visit.
We have now completed 3 full days of potty training and so far it is going about how I expected: several accidents a day, occasional successes (of which we TOTALLY make a big deal out of), and he is seeming to get the idea and thinks he is so cool when he goes.
This school year with Corbin has been so different then in the past. She seems to have flipped, her behavior issues are almost nil while her grades aren’t what they have been in the past. I’m just not sure what to do to help her get it together (most of the grades issue has to do with disorganization, both hers and the teachers). I am even more worried now about what happens next year when she moves to middle school and has to adjust to multiple teachers within each school day.
Ok now that I have a handful of followers and seriously plan to get more involved in my blogging, I need some topic ideas, or maybe a meme or two to get my juices flowing and help ya’ll get to know me better. Also I know I have an old life story somewhere so I will try to resurrect it and up date it to share.

Weekly update 9-4-10
Saturday- We had a nice sleep in this morning. Then we just had a quiet morning at home till it was time for me to get ready for work.
Sunday- Today I was woken by Jax knocking on his bedroom door, something Dad has been teaching him to do when he wakes up. Otherwise it was a nice morning at home. I helped Corbin with her first 4th grade book report, laid out her clothes for the week then went off to work.
Monday- Same old, same old. School and work.
Tuesday- This morning I signed Jax up for Diaper Gym and it starts next week. I think he’ll really like it.
Wednesday- Almost done with my work week.
Thursday- Last night before vacation starts. And I’ve got a really bad blister on my left heel, so buying some new shoes and taking a few days off to let it heal.
Friday- Got Corbin off to school, took Jax to play at the Y while I took some time to talk with some of the gals that work there about fitness stuff and shoes. Had Corbin’s IEP meeting and I think it is going to be a good year. Then taco night at home for dinner.

Weekly update 8-27-10
Saturday- Such a busy day. Got up early and went out to a few garage sales with the kids. We found Corbin a few more things for school and Jax got a Lightning McQueen stuffed toy. Then back home so I could call my grandmother back to hear the latest drama with my cousin. Later the kids and I went out to lunch then to Wal-Mart for a few things. Jax got a late start to nap and it didn’t work well. But I did manage to go through Corbin’s closet and lay out her clothes for the week while he was down. Then we had a mostly quiet evening at home.
Sunday- Another busy day. Today we got up early to do a dress rehearsal of our new morning routine and it worked out great with time to spare. The rest of the day was catching up housework and a quick run to the library. Then after dinner Corbin and I did our nails and it was an early night to be well rested for the first day of school.
Monday- First day of school for Corbin. I really hope 4th grade goes well. We had a good morning and were all ready with time to spare. Dropped Corbin at school, then Jax and I went to the Y. He had fun at child watch and I had a nice workout. Came home did some chores and got ready for work.
Tuesday- Another smooth morning and Jax was so excited to go play at the Y again. Ordinary day at work.
Wednesday- Today I had to pull a day shift at work, so Corbin and I got up and ready while leaving Jax and Dad at home sleeping.
Thursday- Back to the Y. Pretty quiet day.
Friday- Jax and I had a long morning at the Y, because after my workout we went swimming. Then it was home for lunch and a nap, followed by a simple night at home.

8-21-10 Weekly update
With school starting back up next week, I thought I would start getting in the habit of a weekly update here. So I will try to report on something daily and post it all on Saturday, unless we manage to have a big day that calls for it’s own post.
Saturday - I was woke about 15 minutes before my alarm was set to go off by Jax fussing in his room, which was odd because since we took a side off his crib (waiting for TJ to be ready to set up the toddler bed) he plays happily in there till I get up. Got up to see what his issue was and open the door to him complaining and waving his hands around while standing in the middle of the room. So I ask him what’s wrong and he points to his crib where one corner of his mattress is lower then the rest of it. He had removed a bolt which I then discovered he had in his mouth. Lord, help me this kid will choke himself at some point, I just know it. So while the kids ate breakfast Jax was all worried over Dad messing in his room tearing down the crib and setting up his bed. But all is well now and he is happy to go climb in and take his nap and to go to sleep at night. My little man is getting so big now.
Sunday- It was a quiet morning at home. But work was insane, I ran my butt off dealing with one issue after another and by the end of the night both knees and my bad ankle were aching. Hope the rest of the week goes smoother.
Monday- I was feeling so stiff and sore from Sunday, I ended up calling in sick to work and having a nice quiet day at home.
Tuesday- Ok another Jax funny. Today he knocked over a kitchen chair so I ran in to ask him if he was ok and he is all upset and yelling his babble while pointing at the chair. So I say “yes you tipped the chair over but are you alright?” and he keeps on complaining. Finally I fix the chair upright and he stops, gives me a hug and says “OK”. LoL he is always more concerned about things then himself.
Wednesday- Just another simple workday around here. We really are boring. But I’ll do these weekly’s and maybe I can get on a roll and blog more interesting stuff once I adjust.
Thursday- Today was open house at Corbin’s school, but we didn’t really get much face time with her teacher. But I think she seems to have a similar personality to her last two teachers and they both were awesome with her, so for now I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Friday- This morning Jax and I went to a WIC appointment. He has the ladies in that office charmed. He tends to be quiet in public and just smiles so sweet when someone talks to him, so they all think he is an angel. Then this afternoon it was time to go get Corbin’s hair trimmed for school, then we all went out for Chinese for dinner. Came home and caught up on AGT with some popcorn then everyone headed off to bed.

Pardon me.
I’ve been negligent with my blog, but I feel as if even my Twitter is boring and how could I find enough to put in an entire post. So here is a little update.
On the weight-loss front I am down 25lbs now since 2-1-10 and finally seeing a bit of difference, although I am losing my motivation because I want to see more faster. So I am trying to be patient and set smaller goals for myself to help.
Jax is absolutely amazing and shows us something new everyday. Tomorrow morning is his 15 month check-up. He runs all over the house all day long and loves to go outside to explore now that the weather has warmed up. On the talking front, he is saying lots now but needs lots of work on annunciation. Dad and I understand him though so for now we aren’t worried.
Corbin is almost finished with 3rd grade and doing great. She’ll be 9yo in just over a month and is getting to be so grown up. She loves playing with Jax and he thinks she is hilarious. She reads so much and was top reader for her whole grade for Dr Seuss week with over 700 minutes reading that week. On May 15th she gets to hand out programs at my sister’s wedding and is so excited about her fancy dress.
So that’s about it for now. I’ll try to update on Jax again after his appointment tomorrow and do a bit better with this blogging thing.
