March 13th was my 33rd birthday.
I worked from 7am-10pm because we had open house at my school. Kind of a Bummer!
THIS IS THE BANNER MY STUDENTS MADE FOR ME...VERY CUTE!
When I got home, Jason had kept the kids awake and they surprised me when I walked in the door. Balloons and Streamers and CQ picked out a Barbie Birthday Cake and it was REALLY GOOD!
It's really like someone else talking when I say I'm 33, but NOP it's me!
As I reflect on my life, I can honestly say that it's pretty great. Of course there are those stressful/frustrating/not so good moments now and then, but for the most part, I can say I'm Happy and Healthy.
I don't know if I would be so Happy and Healthy if I didn't have my "other half", Jason. We've been married for almost 9 years and I am so happy that he is in my life. We have been through so many ups and downs, in so many relms. He makes me happy and he really is my best friend. He is a fabulous Dad and so supportive in every way. There's nothing I couldn't count on him for. I'm lucky to have that.
My kids are my heart.
Buddah truly saved my life. I wanted him so badly. I often think that I dreamed him into our lives. He's an emotional little guy that is very intense and complex. Jason and I think that he wanted to be an only child. Even though CQ has been home from Russia for 1 year home, he still competes with her, and is overly possessive with "his things", and is sometimes overly aggressive with her. I know it's probably a brother/sister thing, but it drives me crazy.
We are hoping that he will protect and be consistently kind to his sister someday...and I will continue to hang on to that thought and wish!
If I thought my life was tough before, I was wrong. CQ is the hardest job of my life, in a positive way though. She has not only helped me see myself in a whole new light, but has made me grow into the person and mother that I am today. I love her so much.
I continue to tell Jason that she knows she's the "middle" child...hint hint...but he says "not yet"! That's not a NO, right? :)
My job- wonderful. Being a teacher to 2nd and 3rd graders is very rewarding...I sometimes think they like me much better than my own 2 at home. :)
It's so hard to balance work and home for me though. It can be very frustrating at times, but my parents stay with my kids so the relationship that they have built with them is wonderful as well.
What does all this mean? What am I trying to say?
I have no idea, I guess these are just random thoughts.
