Well, I'm sitting here at work on a very slow afternoon. So slow, in fact, that I can barely keep my eyes open. Maybe it is the weather... It has been raining for days now. Gloomy weather is not my friend... My Mom went back home yesterday afternoon, and that was sad. I really did enjoy having her visit. I'm sure she was very ready to get out of my house full of rowdy kids, but we loved having her here. It's funny how much easier having a second adult in the house makes things... Just having someone to back me up when I tell the kids to get ready for bed for instance... When they started to argue with me "Nana" would say, " your mom said to brush your teeth, and she's the boss." I'm not sure it made them brush their teeth any faster, but it sure felt nice for someone to have my back... It was also nice to have someone to talk to when the kids went to sleep. Just sitting around watching TV with another adult is something that I miss sometimes... Anyway, it was nice having the company for a while. :) Now it is back to the "real" world.
D went back to school for the first time after his surgery today... I didn't get any calls, so I take it that things went well. I like days when I don't get calls from the school. I have been getting too many calls from them lately... It seems like every week I get a call about one of my children... Never for a good reason. It is really actually comical how I already have just about every issue a parent can have with a child... Pretty much you name it, and one of my kids does it... For instance Little A has become quite the clepto, and lies every chance she gets, D does not know the meaning of whispering and constantly complains, and Big A has absolutely no control over her emotions... constantly has mood swings and crying fits. I use the word comical, because sometimes I just have to laugh, otherwise I would have a nervous breakdown... I am taking steps to fix these "problems" or "issues", but it seems like every time I get one thing worked out, they come up with something else to throw my way.... Maybe God is paying me back for some terrible thing I did in a past life or something... i don't know, but it is beginning to wear me thin... I know that most of Little A and D's issues stem from their ADHD, but I am just not sure how to deal with Big A. She is already going through puberty, and it looks like this puberty thing is going to be terrible. Maybe if she starts early it will end early... I dread the teenage years if it doesn't. I really need to get her back into therapy. She hasn't been since December. I'm not sure how much it was helping, but something is better than nothing I guess...
Despite, everything though, I love my children more than anything, and I wouldn't trade being their mother for the world. I need to just suck it up and keep on trying... maybe getting a prescription of Xanax would help... Hahaha!! All of us need therapy. This clan is a therapist's dream... or maybe worst nightmare. I'm not sure which. ;) Well this is my life... And it is an adventure...
