Today started out BEFORE 6am!!! Deric was up and ready to go. It always amazes me that the second he wakes up he is full of energy and noise and raring to go, even though he is up several times a night. Gavin was not that far behind because of all the noise Deric makes, He just does not know how to be quiet!!! morning routine is the usual, trying to get Deric to sit still long enough to eat breakfast, Katie hogging the bathroom for 1/2 an hour so she can fix her hair, and Gavin sitting in his seat eating Derics breakfast cause he is not. Breaking up the morning fights between Katie and Deric has become stressful. He just wants to hug his big sis and give her kisses in the morning, she wants him to be in another state, whining, pushing, hitting is getting to be the norm. ugh.Why can't she just let him hug and kiss her and be done with it?? Being an only child myself, I guess I will never understand. So off to school with them which leaves Gavin and I to watch How To Train Your Dragon for the 15 time!!! then Elmo about 15 more times!!! the joys of being a mom!!
Had to babysit today and the little girl I watch ended up running a high fever so I had to keep her all day, Pray that we don't get whatever she had!!! She spent most of the day on the couch crying. I felt so bad.
Dave surprised the kids by stopping by. He ran some errands for me since my van is off the road and then stayed to play with the kids, eat dinner with us, and watch a movie. They are happy when he is here, especially Gavin. Everything is "dada". I wish he would come home for good, for them...

Play Date
Monday was a nice day. I got alot of stuff done at home like laundry, dishes, desk cleaned up, the usual stuff while the kids are at school. watched Sesame street's 25th anniversary special like 3 times because that is Gavin's favorite right now, He loves Elmo!!!
My neighbor was outside trying to start his truck, he was having trouble because it was so cold so I went over with the van to jump start him and got stuck in his driveway. go figure, just my luck!!!
Dave came over so we could get the taxes done and possibly go to Kate's school so we could figure out what is going on with her. She has gone from an honor/merit role student every quarter to failing half of her subjects. Shonda came with him and brought her new puppy Sookie. Gavin had a great time playing with the tiny furball!!!! Holly wanted to use her as a chewtoy!
My best friend came over this evening with her kids and we had a pizza party and the kids watched How To Train Your Dragon. They wore themselves out and Deric was asleep 10 minutes after they left!!! Gavin followed close behind!!! we were all asleep by 9:30 for the first time in forever.
