Wow, I could write a freaky all over the place post today, but I will try and hold myself together. 

No name yet!  Just in case you were wondering.  The suggestions are all over the place from Buttercup to Jessica to Jewel and even Crystal.  I’m re-thinking the kid helping thing.  It’s hard!  I’m searching for the perfect name for such a little girl.  Will I even find it?  Oh well!  I’m still thinking.  It’ll come eventually, and it’s not like I have to figure out a name right away or else……

Jon’s okay!  Feeling a little dizzy at times.  Still sleeping better than before.  He said that he feels like he just needs one more good sleep in day and he would be “all-catched-up”.  Some how I don’t really think that’s the case, but at any rate, he’s feeling more rested which, I think, is a good thing.

I’m working on my own issues with it all ’cause I’m finding that the pressure is on me to handle everything in both the morning and the night.  Mornings ’cause he’s still tired and groggy, and Night’s ’cause he’s taken the meds and is sleepy.  It’s not the end of the world, I’m mostly just whining ’cause I have to “do” more “stuff”, and sometimes I feel the pressure of it all weighing on me a little.  In my head I know that this is just for a time, not forever, and that it will be better in the long run but it doesn’t really change the feelings. 

We went to a financial seminar this weekend.  There was some good stuff that we learned.  Now, the fun part!  To try and make it work for us.  Or, in other words - to perform magic by making the money stretch when it’s not even there in the first place.  If you know how to do that, then could you let me in on your secret - Thanks!

Kids are good!  We are thinking of putting them in a little country school just down the road from us.  The Traditional school has been wonderful.  I’m just wondering if the kids need to not have the pressure of the Academic Expectations placed on them.  Geli is not enjoying school.  While she was doing so well in kindergarten and grade one,  this year in Grade 3 she seems to be struggling.  I’m surprised that, it seems to me, the simplest things seem to stump her.  Not sure what it is or if this is even the answer, but - like I said - we’re thinking about it.  Xan seems to just be floating along.  Nothing really bad to say about her, but nothing really good, academically wise.  She is easily distracted, but could possibly do that in whatever situation she’s in and so it really doesn’t matter to her.

J is my biggest concern.  I think that he needs to not be pressured by the higher standards of the traditional school’s academic program.  The school that we are thinking of is a smaller country-type school.  It’s closer to our house, and starts later in the morning(9am)  It would allow us to be less rushed in the mornings.  I’d still get home around the same time 3pmish.

Thinking, and hoping and praying that it all works out.

Was that it?????  I keep thinking that there was a whole bunch more stuff that I was going to verbal diarrhea all over you…..hmmmmm!!!  Can’t think of any thing else, right now!  Get back to you on that later.
