About Me

My photo
I'm your typical, ordinary, every day woman. Married to the man of my dreams and the best friend I could ever ask for. Mom to 3 loud and wild boys. Step mom to 1 loud and wild boy. I stay at home, take care of my family, and love being able to create a happy home and life for them. My life is more than I ever thought it would be...louder, crazier, more chaotic...but I wouldn't trade any of it.

Lazy Day

I am feeling so lazy today!

We have had something going on every day for the past week and a half! And next week is shaping up to be just as busy!

Monday - Zach and Aidan both have dr appointments, then Aidan has scouts
Tuesday - NOTHING!
Wednesday - Zach has scouts
Thursday - parent/teacher conferences
Friday - going to get James from the airport
Saturday - going out for my birthday dinner
Sunday - we are going to *try* to make Tommy's halloween costume, and Id like to squeeze in a trip to the pumpkin patch

And then the school and work craziness starts over on Monday.

So today as Im typing this I havent gotten dressed OR showered! And I dont even care! :)
Tommy is still in his pajamas as well.

And we are loving it. (although I do plan to shower when he lays down for his nap)

Also this week Ive applied for a middle school social studies teaching job!!!
Im really hoping that I get it, but dont really expect to. I finished all the requirements for my middle school endorsement but havent gotten my actual certificate in my hand yet. I talked to the Regional Office of Education on Friday and the lady in charge of certification (who is amazing, BTW) is looking into it for me. Seems that I should have heard something by now.
Anyway, I can accept a job without the certification in hand but will have to show proof of the actual endorsement within a certain time frame. Which Im able to do!
I just think that a school would hire someone they dont have to wait around for, ya know?
But on the other hand, I would be entering at just 1 year on the pay scale so would be a lot less expensive than some that apply Im sure!

Either way...cross your fingers and pray those prayers, please!

Good will prevail!

So with all this legal mess going on right now I find myself getting stressed out so easily anymore. That and the mess that is my job.....but I digress.

Before James and I decided to initiate this, we knew it would be a long and bitter uphill battle all the way.
That knowledge has proven to be true!

More 'bad news' yesterday...the depositions have been pushed back.
We are hoping for a reschedule for later in October but havent heard back from teh attorney with a posititve answer on that one yet.

We are doing things the right way.
We tried other options before filing the removal petition.
We have made a very generous offer in terms of visitation.
We have made even more generous offers regarding other terms.
We are doing this for the right reasons, not out of selfishness or spite.
We are handling the struggle to the children the right way.
We are seeking outside help for the chidren.

In short, we are on the right side of this.

Maybe thats why it seems so frustrating at times like this?
