Life in general

I have been doing better than the last post. Both my girls have made honor roll in school this quarter and my 6 year old daughter has been doing better in her reading. She gets extra help and that has made a big difference in her grades and schooling period. My 10 year old daughter has been doing better with handing in assignments and getting her homework done. This has helped her stay on the A and B honor roll. I am very proud of them for all their hard work for the last quarter in school. I hope that they keep it up and that my 6 year old will read a lot better and more often. This has been a challenge of mine since school started and is ongoing.

My two sons are doing good and driving me nuts. My two year old has a mind of his own and is into EVERYTHING. He doesn't care what you say or if he gets time out he will still do it. I laugh a lot because he speaks his mind and doesn't like to get into trouble, but he does it anyway. He is a red head and they say they are stubborn people. I only have him that has red hair and I'll have to agree that he is stubborn and can be very mean. I love him though. He is a trip to have around, I just wish that he would listen better.

Then, I have my one year old who is a soul on his own. He is nothing like his siblings and is just a wonderful person to have around. He loves to laugh and giggle all the time and likes to push my dresser over from his crib. He thinks he is funny. You would have to be here to know where I am coming from in regards to the dresser thing. He doesn't like to keep his clothes on and loves being in his diaper only. He is in a world of his own. He doesn't really have an attitude as his brother and sisters do and loves to smile at you. Bad day or not he always has that beautiful smile for me. He is growing into his own little person and loves being around everyone.

My husband is doing good. He drives me crazy too. He can be as bad as the kids at times, but I love him very much. He will do anything for me and no matter what happens he is always there for me. I study so much for school plus we have seminars and he is right there beside me helping me along the way. Ecspecially with anatomy and physiology. He helps me study and does what he can with the kids so that way I get my work done. I love him for everything that he does for me and I don't think he realizes how much I appreciate it. I may not show him enough and I think that I need to. I would be lost without him. I wish that he could understand how happy he makes me and that I am happy I just don't show it as much as I should. Anyone else been in this situation where you don't show enough emotions to your significant other??

Life in general is hard and you throw in marriage, kids, work and schooling and it can be a big mess and complicated. I find that life is a challenge and as you can see from what I talked about I have my challenges. I feel that as long as I take it one day at a time I will survive and manage. I love my life and there are very few things that I would change and that would be that my kids don't like to listen. Otherwise my life is good. With out chaos I would go insane. I hope that this story helps others to see that they are not alone in challenges, because I have been there before and still am. Life is what you make it!!!
