Not so little anymore

Last night I watched Sidney sleep and it hit me.....I actually looked at her and could imagine what she would look like as an adult. Oh god........it's hitting me. She looked so beautiful with her long hair and long legs. My little girl is not so little anymore. I really wish I could work part time and move somewhere to the country where they could have more fun and grow up more like I did. Run outside, play with friends, ride their bikes...just enjoy their summer. I had a great time doing all these things, lazy days of summer.

Some of my best memories are spending summer vacations with my grandparents. I would get all the food I like, get to be outside a lot, Opa took me rollerskating and bikeriding, feed the ducks, to the playground. It was great. Oma would cook for me and teach me how to crochet and knit. Ahhhhhhhhh the good old times..............

????

I wasn't feeling great yesterday, nauseous, dizzy, stomach crampy, so I left work early and just went home and slept, and had DH pick up the brats. But you know the funny thing? Every one of my friends that has kids asked me if I was pg...LOLOL. Hell no....3 is enough, thank you very much. The ones without kids just didn't mention it.

Also...Brenna is wearing her dress that I bought this weekend the 2nd day in a row. Whatever, I didn't have the energy this morning to fight over it, and Mina doesn't care. It's kind of dirty on the front. So does that make me a bad mommy? Letting my poor child walk around in dirty clothes? I'm sure my mother would say so.

Mackie cracks me up sometimes. Yesterday she told Brenna "Sorry just doesn't cut it anymore"...LOLOLOL. Brenna's response was "yes, it does........sometimes when you are real sorry"

Oh man, I can't wait until they are teenagers. I will have grey hair by then.

Sidney's last day of school

It was Sidney's last day of school today, so I went for the last day mass and the award ceremonies ( I got one too....), so the teacher ask if they are going on vacation and where. So Sidney tells her....we are going to the desert..somewhere hot. The teacher says "Palm Springs?" Sidney goes "No, I think it's Death Row".... The teacher was cracking up and asked "Do you mean Death Valley?" " Oh yeah....that's what it is..."Oh god...........

Overall her report card was good, mostly O's and G's, but she needs to improve her spelling and we definetely need to practice reading over the summer.

Toothfairy

Brenna lost her first tooth on Friday. Woohoooooo. She was all proud and the tooth fairy brought her $3. It was lose for the longest time and she was afraid to pull it out. But it finally happend Friday evening.

Today I signed Mackie up for preschool. I can't believe my baby is ready for preschool. I remember the first day I took Sidney to preschool, Mackie was just 2 months old. Time certainly flies. Brenna will start Kindergarten in August, thank God. I truley hope that it'll help her behaviour in some way. She is just no listening. I'm tired of yelling and punishing. I don't like to yell, but sometimes it's really hard.

Mackie and Brenna fight all the time. They are so close that they get into it all the time, they also play together a lot, which is nice, but the fighting gets to me. Especially in the car when I can't get away from it.

Only one week of school left for Sidney. She can't wait to be on vacation, and it shows. She is 7.5 going on 15. I don't know how I will deal with them when they are all teenagers. I truly hope that they will have some sense left and not get completely out of control.

Mackie had such a bad meltdown yesterday. Something about her baby, she couldn't find it, or Brenna had it....who knows, but man......was she screaming. I was ready to lock her in the garage.LOL. I really try hard not to yell but sometimes I just can't help it. I need more patience. I admire people who never lose their temper. I wish I could be more like that.
