Sunday August 22, 2010 - We have been busy with school stuff. Dylan's teacher came to our house early last week and then we had supply drop off on Friday. Friday we went to get school shoes and that was a bad idea. We went to Target late morning and it was worse than any weekend day I have seen. There were people everywhere. Then I had to get more school supplies for Dylan that was unexpected so I went to get that stuff yesterday. Thankfully, it was not as bad at the grocery store. I guess by that point everyone was shopping for school clothes. I think we are all ready for school now. Dylan is excited and I am ready for the routine. Emily does not start for another two weeks and I am not sure she will be ready. She is never ready for school to start.
I have been trying to get the house and all my paperwork in order so I can start my in home childcare again. I have tried to get a job at Dylan's school and the preschool with no luck. I think part of the issue is that there are still so many people looking for jobs. So for this school year I will be providing childcare and then may go back to school in the spring and then reasses the situation next year.
I hope everyone is doing well and staying cool.

Snow pictures
Monday August 16, 2010 - I hope everyone is doing well. Jerry and I had a quiet weekend without the kids. It was nice but I think we are ready for the kids to be back home.
I will finally start posting some of the pictures from the last several months that I was not able to.
Here are some pictures from February. These were taken the week we moved out of our house. It snowed all day long. The kids had fun until their hands started to get cold. I had already packed gloves and warmer clothes. Texas weather is so weird.

Picture
Tuesday August 10, 2010 - So my cell phone does not take great pictures, but here it is. I took this right after we left the store. It is so funny how Dylan's behavior has changed since Saturday. He has been very polite and respectful. He says he feels smarter. Weird how glasses can change his personality. We will see how long that lasts.
This heat is killing me. I have been so tired the last two days I can hardly get out of bed. Dylan and I had to have another talk today because he asked me why I have been sleeping so much lately. I also used my Wii Fit the other day and got a good workout that I am not used to so I am sure that had an impact.
I am trying to get everyone on a normal school routine. So far it is not working very well. I am trying to get the kids in bed by 8 and up at 6. We have gotten them to bed around 8 a couple of times but 6 am has not happened yet. Hopefully, in two weeks it will not be an issue.
Internet Finally!!!!!!
Monday August 9, 2010 - We finally have our internet hooked up so hopefully I can get my blog updated and upload some photos from the last six months.
I have been feeling okay. I went to the doctor and he thinks I am having anxiety attacks. We are running some blood tests and trying some temporary meds. I will go back to see him on Thursday to see what we will do long term. I have not felt comfortable driving very far because it seems like every time I get behind the wheel I start with another attack. I guess I am just crazy.
Well, we took Dylan in for his annual eye exam and he now needs glasses. I have never seen a child so excited to wear glasses. I will post a picture soon. Now Emily is wanting hers. I am sure she will not be far behind. Poor kids are getting bad genes I guess.
I guess that is all for now. I will post some pictures tomorrow and start posting some pictures that I have wanted to post since February.

Stress?
Wednesday July 28, 2010 – It has been a crazy week that only seems to be getting crazier. I have been really tired and not sleeping and starting to have more spasms and weakness in my left arm and leg. My mood has not been great either. Last night I decided to finally take a sleeping pill. Shortly after taking it I had a wave of heat take over my entire body and then my heart started racing and I was having trouble breathing. It was just like the episode back in April when I ended up in the ER. I tried really hard to calm myself. I was able to keep it under control enough to not have to go to the ER but I am still not feeling very well. I will go see the doctor tomorrow to figure out what the heck is going on. I will keep you posted.
