Its been a month (maybe more)

Yes I am horrible at keeping up. What can I say a famliy of 7 keeps me very very busy. We are goiong camping this weekend. Kind of excited for that. We bought a big new tent to go campng with. Hopefully that will make life easier. Before it was all but Haylie and Hunter in a 4 man tent. that means Marc, Isaac, Jackson and me plus a airbed and a playpen for zander. Now we have a 10 man 3 room tent. Yippee. I plan on draggin my family camping more this summer. I miss camping. Hopefully this weekend goes well. We will have to see. Isaac is just getting over (ok he still is) sick. He has the flu and has been running a fever. He is rather grumpy and running a fever. It all started with Zander a few weeks ago and has run through all of us except Jackson. Though non odf us had it for more then one day. Isaac is going on day 5 poor kid. Hopefully he is over it by saturday. Well that is us so here is the quick good, bad, and ugly of my family. We will go by age.

Marc is doing softball 2 nights a week. Mon, tues. This keeps us hoppin. He is enjoying it. His monday team is better then his tuesday team. His monday team is more competative. His tuesday team is in it more for fun. I go to as many games as I can. He still doesnt like work much but he continues to go every day to support his family. He is thinking of going back to school to do something that would benifit children who are disabled. He is thinking ocupational therapy or physical therapy. I think he would rock in either one.

Me. HHmmmm lets see. I am going crazy. I swear I am. I work all the time day and night. I am still doing daycare though I hate it. I would love to not do it but we cant afford for me to stop. Its been very stressful latley as I have a few kids that are handfuls. I am also still selling avon though not doing well. I need more clients (hint hint). I run from place to place. I swear I live in my car. I am trying to be more organized but alas I suck at it. I need to get my sewing room into some sort of order so I can put all my avon down there instead of on my bedroom floor stacking in boxes. I am working on rounding up all the extra garbage in my house so I can do a yard sell next weekend. I wanted to do it last weekend but it was rainy of course. I think that is my biggest problem. The damn rain. It depreses me. I need sun. I am also starting to write a month worth of meals. I started out by asking Marc, Hunter and Haylie for there 5 top meals. I then added a few of my own. Made tuesdays leftover night. And just tossed the other meals on diffrent days. Its made it a little less stressful when its dinner time. It also means there is no more asking me 20 million times whats for dinner. Its on the fridge for all to see. I shop for 1 week of groceries at a time. I need to do 2 but just cant seem to do that.

Hunter. He is still doing comp. Soccer. He is switching from fusion to razia though. His whole team is switching with him. I am hoping it will be a good move. Its a better soccer club. He is still goalie and loving it. He is almost out of the 4th grade how crazy is that. He has something like 7 weeks of the 4th grade left then 3 weeks of summer then he is a big 5th grader. He is a somewhat active boy. I am trying to get him to be more active. He would prefer to play video games or play on the computer. I am banning all that come warm weather. As of right now he gets one hour of that type of activity a day. Over all he is a great kid doing great.

Haylie. Oh haylie. Lol the girl is got an imagination that is for sure. She is always putting new signs on her door. This week its about school. She has a list of rules. Go into her room and she has "tables" set up with paper and crayons. She just needs students. She is also now taking private violin lessons. She had her concert and was not ready for it. According to her violin teacher she is just not brave enough. She needs more encouragement. She also needs to practice. She found a great friend named Tresure. The two are hooked at the hip. They dont work well when not together. Tresure even 9 out of 10 times goes with Haylie to he dads. She is also almost out of the 4th grade. Were did my little baby go.

Isaac. He is doing awsome. He will be going to a regular public school next year in a cluster class. You ask What is a cluster class? Its a class inside a regular public school with kids with multiple disablitites. They have decided he is to advanced for were he is at. I tend to agree. I am still scared of what he will achive in this new setting though. He is loving watching his dad play softball when we get a chance to go. He is loving school. He gets on the bus at 9am and gets off it at 5:15. Goes downstairs and watching his channel 27 until dinner comes up to eat and back down he goes. Alot of the time we will be asleep when we go down to put him to bed. cute kid. Maybe he should teach his brother lol.

Jackson. Uuuggg Jackson. He is my hyper child. He is always going. Never quit. He has as of late been facinated with staring at the sky. Not sure what he sees up there but he will stare out the window for hours. He also will be going into a normal public school but in a cluster class. The boys will be in diffrent classes. They have a 3,4,5th grade class and a 4,5,6th grade class. So the only time we might run into trouble is the 6th grade when they will have to be in the same class. Jackson is loving school though he has his problems. He cant be quiet going down the halls. He is loving the swimming pool and riding the bus. He loves his bus driver and his aid. So do I they will be missed.

Zander. My cute not so little baby. He is growing up to fast. He loves to "help" clean. I bought him his own play vacume and he follows me were ever I go with that stupid noisy toy. He also has his own lawn mower that he mows the sidewalk with (he wont use it on the grass). He is talking more and more. I am always hereing "mom" anymore. He doesnt do well when i am gone. What can I say I have a mommies boy. Marc and I went away to vegas for 2 nights and he didnt deal well. When we got home he wouldnt leave my side for days. He is still hesitant with nana when she comes. Wonder what the poor kid is going to do when I go river rafting in a couple weeks. He will be home with Marc. I am sure he will survive but maybe not well lol. He also learned a new trick. He climbed out of his crib twice. Hopefully he doesnt do that again anytime soon. Still cant belive how big he is getting and how fast.
