Today I did this

Was awakened by Maggie and Audrey running upstairs getting their breakfast. Audrey is especially noisy with the pitter patter of her feet. I've been reminding the girls that other gammie and Drew are asleep, so they need to keep quiet. I, am such a light sleeper, that even with the fan going, I hear everything. Usually, it involves the girls fighting over who gets the Tony the Tiger bowl, or Maggie teasing Audrey somehow , and Audrey is so sensitive that it usually turns into crying, or high pitched squeals. Audrey is notorious for those really high pitched screams. They have been so good to get up and get ready, and they have even been all ready for school by 7:50 before. I'm not really sure why, but getting the alarm clock has definitly helped, and Maggie sometimes like to ride her scooter in the driveway before school. But really I think it is because Maggie doesn't want to be late, and Audrey wants to do everything that Maggie does--and I mean everything! That girl can't make her own decesions right now--it's what ever Maggie does. Nontheless, it has really helped me out, and cut back on my yelling and frustration in the mornings. So I got the girls off to school and came home and Drew was still out, so I had a quiet breakfast by the computer checking email and blogs--my favorite.
Drew got up shortly after that and he had breakfast and we did some things around the house. He is getting more wild by the day. His energy is turbo and he doesn't take naps and goes strong all day. Today he was kind of a little stinker which isn't like him. He was disobiedient, and being a goofball. I hope this isn't permanant.
This afternoon, I condered my mom into tilling the soil in the backyard so I could plant my little seed pods that were really in need of getting in the ground. Hopefully is doesn't frost!!! I couldn't do anything! My belly is so big, and I'm so akward and uncomfortable that I just sat back and watched and supervised. The kids enjoyed putting the plants in and I'm sure my mom is spent and had other plans today.
While I made Lasanga for dinner, the kids watched SpongeBob--Drew calls it BumBob. Everyone inhaled their dinner and then is was dreaded baths and bedtime routine which was ok. A little dancing with the stars and bedtime went better than usual.

Journaling

I've been wanting to use this as a journal blog. I hate to write, but love to type, so maybe this will work well to journal since I've been really horrible about writing in my journal for many, many years. Now, i just have to figure out how to make this thing private--don't want the world seeing my deepest thoughts and feelings.
