My life is going to change from here on out!

Both kids wake up at 7 am. Sometimes either one will wake up a bit earlier than that but neither is allowed out of their rooms till 7am. Hannah will come into our room at exactly 7:01 to ask for the TV on. Then Justin will start banging on his door wanting out. Well when you get both kids in one room with out us. All hell breaks loose! House is destroyed and there is yelling and fights!
When I woke up this AM I found pen marks on my WALLS! I was sooo mad. I have finally come to the conclusion that I need to get up with the kids at 7AM. Not sure HOW I am going to do this and make it through the day. I do know Other Moms do this but I have been able to trust my kids. Well Hannah anyways. She would always get up in the past and be sooo good by herself. My house would not be destroyed! She was great being by herself. But now that Jusitn gets up I can not trust either one!
So yes, that is one change in my life. ANd now that I am getting up so early I need to start cleaning the house up. I need to get off this computer and do things around the house. I need to start drinking water and get my energy up so I can get off my ass and do things! Sigh!!

My poor Justin!

Usually in the AMs Justin would bang on his door telling me he is up and wants out of his room (we close his door at night.) But this am he didn't do this at all. Never heard a peep from him. So at 8:00 I went in to see him and there he was laying on his bed awake. That is not my boy!! The way his face was was just not right. Us Mom's know their kids and know when something is wrong. I gave him his puffers as I was told to do. Then at 10:30 it seemed he was having problems.So I gave him another shot.I went in to check on him again and it seemed his lips were a bit blue (in my opinion--- hard to tell). So Hubby and I decided to take him to the hospital.We get there and they check his oxygen level and it's fine. That's good.But they gave him FIVE puffs of a puffer!!! They gave one puff and waited for him to breath that in (about 10 breaths) then shot another one. Till they reached five!! Then they gave him oral steroid too. Then they sent us home. So now I have to give him one puffer twice a day. And another puffer every four hours for at least two days (or when ever needed). So yup that is my life right now. Thankfully he was not admitted this time around and we can get this fixed sooner than later! Wish us luck!

Hannah and her play date.

Hannah had one of her friends over for a play date yesterday. Her name is Nirah and they are best buds in Preschool. Oh they had soo much fun together. Nirah came over after school. Her Mom picked her up and drove her over here. I made lunch for the three of them. Nothing too specail. Just frozen pizzas and a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. Home made none the less! They had popcorn for a mid afternoon snack too!
The girls were all over the place. First they checked out Hannah's room. Then they went downstairs and outside, in the living room. Even Played in Justin's room for a bit. Then back outside for some more fun. They were busy all afternoon.
When school was let out at 3:00 I took them and Justin to the school playground. They had a blast. They ran around. Up and down the slides. Then went and ran the soccer field at least twice!
We finally came home and they played some more!
Poor Justin was just a bit bored I think as the girls kind of ignored him. Oh well I am sure when he gets a bit older that he will get play dates too.
When Nirah's Dad came and got her at 5:00 she did not want to leave. It seemed she had as much fun as Hannah did!!
Hannah was soo tired today after her big day yesterday. I cought her dozing in a chair watching TV!! Too funny. Couldn't help but laugh at that!
I had soo much fun watching these two friends play!! I hope to get them together again very soon!!

My Baby is off to school in FOUR months!!

Come September my life will change. Hannah will be in school for five hours a day, five days a week! Justin will be in preschool come September as well. He will be there two days a week for two and a half hours. So I will lots of spare time on my hands. And I will love it. I am sure I will be lost for a bit. But you know what? I will get used to it pretty quickly! And I will LOVE it!
I can not believe that my baby girl will be off to school in four months. It blows my mind! I think, come September our lives will change a great deal!
Hannah will be a young student as she will still be four.She will be five in November. But I think she is ready to go.
She is to get her five year needle at the end of this month. Not too sure how that will go down. She has had blood tests done over the last few years but her last needle was when she was a baby. She was a bit difficult getting her blood t done. So I am worried about how this will go. Thankfully Robin has taken that day off.
Then the beginning of June is going to be a busy time. Her orientation is in June.. She will be going to school from 9:00 to 11:00 that day to see what it's all about. We, her parents go the same time for our orientation as well. I am looking forward to this. Hubby will be coming too.
Then June 12th is her last day of preschool and her graduation day! And again Robin will be coming. This is one day I will sure to get teary eyed. I will be a very proud Momma for sure!

Justin has been making progress!

When we have been home Justin is either in Underwear or running around Naked. He is doing awesome with using the potty!
Just the other day he has learned to pull down his undies if he needs to go pee. And one time when he was naked he had a poop on the potty! He hardly ever has any accidents.
This afternoon he is running around naked and he came to me saying "poop" so I put him on and he pooped! His second time!!! Yeah for Justin.
I am a very proud Momma for sure.
I see Preschool in his near future. If he keeps this up. I am a bit relieved let me tell you.
Hannah is doing well. Learning to write new words every day. Now she can write Food,cat,dog,two,too,to,pig. Daddy has been teaching her a new word each night when he reads stories to her.
Yesterday she actually got sick. Totally not expecting that at all. Had no warning. Had an awful mess to clean up as well as a very upset little girl to tend to. No fun at all. Usually when this happens, for some reason Robin is home. Not sure how exactly the kids work this out but they do. I am glad too! They don't get sick unless it's at night OR on weekends.
I feel soo useless when the kids get sick. There is nothing we,as a Mom can do. We can only hug them and tell them everything will be ok. Nothing else we can do.
I am going to an all day Scrap booking workshop tomorrow. 8:30am to 4:30pm. I am looking forward to it. I need time to myself and this is my time. Poor Hannah has dance class on Saturdays and my Scarpbooking always fall on this day too. I think me and Robin have wroked it out that he will drive me to the workshop before he takes Hannah to dance class. He has never done this before and just is not used to taking the kids out alone. It will sure be a new adventure for him. But I have all the confidence in him. And he will be fine!

So yup that is all that's new here. I'll be in touch!

I have started walking again.

I have started walking again. It all began last Monday and have gone everyday except Thursday. But last night I went for an extra long walk so I think that makes up for Thursday.
I take Robin's I.POD with me. And I have a great time. I am by myself with tunes on and just enjoying listening to music and reminiscing about my day that I just had.
If anyone knew me way back when, Knows that I used to walk all the time. I was known as "the girl with the headphones"! I loved it. I would wake up early and go for a walk. Go back to bed only to wake up and go. I lived to walk. Some might call it boredom. But I sure did enjoy it.
Since I have had kids and a hubby I have not been walking as much as I used too. Things at home here keep me busy.
I am hoping this gets me in the swings of thing to loose weight and look after myself better.
Here is hoping!

I made up Justin's mind today!

I have been trying to potty train Justin for awhile now. He is great if he is nude. He will run right to the potty if he needs to go. But the undies thing is a bit of a challenge. He has accidents and I have been procrastinating. Waiting for him to tell me some how that he is ready to say "bye bye to diapers".
Well, I have finally come to the conclusion today that if I waited for him then he would still be in diapers the day he gets married. Lol.
So I have decided that from tomorrow on anytime he is home he will be in his undies. Unless we go out or if he is in bed.
I do think he will be able to master this pretty quickly.
I want him to go to preschool in September and he has to be potty trained. This puts a lot of pressure and stress on me!
He is a very smart boy and I do think he will get this down pat. I, as his Mommy just need to stick to my guns and do this too!
Stay tuned for updates on our progress! :)
