He’s home!
I drove down to Salem today to pick Jonah up from his dads. His dad kept him nearly all summer, I was quite impressed. It is certainly wonderful for Jonah too, who rarely gets to see his dad through the school year. I asked when the next time was that he wanted to meet, he said he wasn’t sure and he’d be in touch. Christmas? He doesn’t know.
The trip down was quiet. Both girls fell asleep. I had invited a friend along with me who also fell asleep. My mind was heavily preoccupied with thoughts that have heavily weighed on it for these last few days, so I was in my own world. I’m glad he didn’t take offense. I got sleepy and changed with him, and immediately crashed until we were almost there. On the way back I drove the whole way. That’s one hard part for me driving, I get sleepy. Thrilling. That’s why whenever I can, I bring someone along with me to switch if needed, or atleast to chat with.
The trip back up was uneventual. The three kids are incredible travelers, unlike how I use to be as a child 😛 No fighting, no begging for the bathroom, no "I’m hungry" or thirsty. Katherine was thrilled to have Jonah back, although besides giggling and talking to him, she found quite the delighting in kicking the back of his seat to get his attention, especially finding great humor in doing so as he was trying to fall asleep, lol.
I am very happy Jonah will have his own room now. He’s excited too 🙂 I am certainly going to be expecting a lot of him as he starts school this year under the home school plan – speaking of which, I need to call the home school department in the morning to find out why I haven’t received the paperwork yet that I need to fill out and have filed with them. I was talking with Jonah today about an income – he wants to open up his own savings account, and has been talking about coming up with a business of his own. Hmm, I wonder what he’ll think of. I did this as a child too, pondered ideas and searched for what clicked with me. It’s interesting to see him doing it also.
Alyssa seems to have suddenly grown up these last two weeks. I look at her and see a child with absolutely radiating beauty. She’s matured. My baby is almost 7yo! She starts her first day of FIRST GRADE shortly. She continues to talk about this birthday party she wants to put together, her birthday is the third week of October. She’s doing quite the job planning it out, LOL. So far she wants a princess themed party at chucky cheese 😛 I’m so proud of her and all the growing she’s done. They sure grow up quite fast right before you’re eyes.
Katherine too has suddenly grown! Today she had me laughing as she’s skipping/hopping/bouncing across the subway store, giggling. She is SO DANG CUTE! Curls bouncing away 🙂 Her humor leaves you boggled. She is quite the angel 🙂
Today when I picked Jonah up from his dad, I gave him a hug. "What’s that for?" he scowled. "Because I like you! Hug me back turkey". He pulled away from me, "No. I don’t want to. I don’t like the things you’re doing right now". Ah, two things – one being homeschooling, neither items that effect his life. I was a smartass and remarked right back, "Right – the world doesn’t revolve around you". Glad he took that in good humor and said, "It should!" LOL
How come people are always so quick to judge other peoples decisions in their life, even though it doesn’t even directly effect their own? Seems silly really.
Last night I cleaned out my closet. Two half naked girls trying on clothes, must have been an interesting sight, lol. I am moving thing out that I wont be wearing for quite a while, that I can’t fit into, and that just doesn’t fit my style anymore. It’s nice to do that occasionally, it’s so easy for clothes to pile up – ones which you don’t wear anymore.
Today I pulled out my long black (with large dark purple flowers) skirt that drops down to the bottom of my ankles. I don’t wear dresses normally, but love this thing. I have a turquoise colored top, where the sleeves barely cover the shoulders, and has a V-neckline that drops down leaving cleavage to be shown – along the V there is the same colored sequense (sp). Together, along with the long necklace that was given to me that drops right between my breasts, with three purple stones on it within a silver circle – it’s gorgeous. I was quite pleased with how I looked today. I need more clothes that have this type of feel.
