I had my yearly checkup and apparently stress is contributing to slightly high cholesterol. Wee. How can I be old enough to worry about crap like that? Oh wait, I shouldn’t worry… that’ll just make it worse. There’s been a lot going on, to say the least and I’m stretched pretty thin lately. I haven’t picked up my camera lately and seem not to have time to keep the house clean between one thing and another. So… I need to re-prioritize and I think that means blogging less. I think for a few months I need to completely focus on my work endeavors and then see where I’m at. With so little time I like to focus on my family when I can and my own personal needs, so… yeah.
As far as the kids go, despite there being more stress and chaos in the house than usual, Enzo has been doing great in preschool lately, which also seems to coincide with his preschool teacher leaving and a new teacher stepping in. He’s been having so many good days and has been bringing home more worksheets and seems to be learning more. I can’t even tell you what a relief that is.
Things I want to remember about right now.
- Enzo
- Has an ongoing imaginary game/story where we travel to outer space. Typically it’s him, me and Phoebe since we usually pretend we’re in a spaceship on the way home from preschool, but now and then Josh is allowed to also come. My job is to drive the spaceship and Enzo is in charge of “Pewing” (sp?) bad aliens. They can usually be found on meteors and Enzo uses a special gun that shoots fish that eat the aliens. The fish also have the powers of expansion to eat and/or destroy anything in our path.
- Phoebe
- Has started telling little white lies like asking her if she washed her hands and her saying she did when she very obviously didn’t and other little things like that.
- Is a tad bossy and adorable at the same time. She often holds up her little hand and will say, “Just one minute” if you ask her to do something. It’s all in the inflection and hand motion.
With luck this next year will give us much more time together and the current chaos will make it all worthwhile.
