rob has officially been gone for a month and 3 days. i don't miss him as much right now, i guess i've gone into survival mode and have stopped thinking about him so often. it sounds heartless and i'm actually sad that he's not on my mind more, it seems like he should be all i'm thinking about. however, as always, life interrupts my love affair with my husband ;) the kids and the pets, the laundry, the lawn, etc.
tomorrow my oldest is going on her final field trip of the her kindergarten year...the zoo! who knew a teacher could whip out so many worksheets on zoo animals?!? some of the worksheets seem so simple, though. i'm wondering why the teacher isn't challenging them more? i also notice that a lot of the art projects are simplified, i think it's purely for the teacher's benefit. reese recently brought home a 'spring hat', covered in cutouts of springy things (guess what the last unit was covering...SPRING!). all the spring things had either been cut out by a teacher or else had been ordered from somewhere that way, all uniform and prepared. so pretty much all reese had to do was pick out 6 things and use a glue stick to attach them to her hat. not exactly a challenge at this point in the year. i think the teachers are just getting tired. i don't blame them, so am i :)
we have plans to head to tampa the first weekend in may. i'm really excited, we'll be hanging out with friends and having some girl talk if the kids will let us. we're also going to be going here and staying at a hotel in the area. i hope the youngest is a happy camper during this trip. in the car she used to be a gem but then over the last few months, she's gotten so grumpy whenever she's in that carseat. even just for a trip to the store, she's back there cussing me out in her toddler-jabber. maybe she just doesn't like looking at cade, she's still rear facing. (if i turn her facing forward, then she doesn't have any one to watch, just the back of my head...not too exciting.)
she's used to sleeping and napping in her crib and nap times and bedtimes are pretty well scheduled. so we'll see how napping in a stroller and sleeping in a hotel bed with me can disrupt her life. the good news is that tampa is about 3 hours away so at least she'll get a good nap at some point during the trip, probably after she screams herself hoarse. hope the kids bring their earplugs.
the bad news is that we'll be missing out on this. sigh. tampa better be good.
everyone keep this girl in your thoughts. she's been going through a tough time and every financial challenge you can imagine has been thrown her way. hugs for you, lola. believe it or not i miss all your pictures, imagine making me hunt you down for them!
