Damon Meets His Kindergarten Teacher

Yesterday I took Damon to the school to meet his new teacher. He was really excited! His teacher spent a few minutes with him while I filled out paper work. He got to see his classroom and the playground that they are still building. After we met with his teacher I showed Damon around the school and where Olivia's class is. He can't wait to start school!

Olivia Rides The Bus

Today Olivia decided to ride the bus to and from school. She did great, she said it was much easier than yesterday when she had to find us. I took a picture of her getting off the bus, she was really embarrassed (if you can't tell). Damon and Jasmine spent the afternoon playing with his Power Rangers.

Look Out World Here Comes Olivia!

Olivia had her first day of school today. She did great! The school is still under construction and a little chaotic, but she made it through the day. She got lost at the end of the day and it took about 20 minutes until we found her, but she didn't panic. I on the other hand, was running around like a crazy woman. She forgot where I told her to meet us and lost sight of her teacher so she just stood by the playground until the crowd died down and we could see her. She was a little upset and exhausted from her day so I let her take a little nap when we got home. She made some new friends and really likes her teacher, maybe tomorrow she'll try riding the bus!

Day Before Olivia Starts School

We had a pretty relaxed weekend. We just ran errands and did chores around the house. Today we went to my Parent's house for Sunday dinner. We had a BBQ and set up the waterslide for the kids. We had to come home early to pack a lunch and get Olivia ready to start school tomorrow. Its going to take some getting use to, we haven't had a schedule or bedtimes all summer. Here's a few pictures of the girls on their beach towels and Damon with his new "MEGAZORD" toy.

Who Said Being a Housewife is Easy?

The last few weeks I've been feeling really sluggish. I've had a fever, chills, body aches, and I've even thrown up a few times. I thought I just had the flu, but after evaluating my situation; I realized I'm just really stressed out about the kids starting school. Everyone who knows me, knows that I don't deal with change well. This might be why I have been so sick lately, it's my bodies way of saying "chill out". People always say to me "your a housewife what do you have to worry about?" Like being a housewife is all rainbows and butterflies. I just worry because this is Olivia's third new school in three years not to mention my baby boy starts kindergarten. The school is just being built as we speak. We drove past it a few times and it appears not even close to being ready for Monday. The school had to cancel Back-to-School Night, which was supposed to be tonight. The kids won't even get a tour of the school before the first day. Not to mention they don't even know the bus routes, so we can't even do a few practice runs so that they are familiar with the bus ride. These are the things I worry about as a mother. The kids aren't even nervous in fact they could careless. My Mom has had Damon and Olivia for the last few days. We didn't want them to catch the flu, if that's what I have. Jasmine has been home with me since she won't spend the night at Grandma's. She's been taking care of me, bringing me blankets and the remote control. Being a mom and a housewife can be a little overwhelming at times. I never get to finish a complete thought. In fact Jasmine has interrupted me about 40 times just while I've been writing this. Thank God for my Mom who is always a big help. She knows exactly what I am going through. Thanks for always taking care of us, what would I do without you? Only 3 days after today until school starts.
