Just thoughts from worn out me

What have I been doing is working and working and working. I finally have a day off today. Six days straight of up at 3 am to be to work. With my dad having to go in for emerency surgery last Week I ended up working Saturday so I wouldn't loose any hours.

As I sit here at 6 something in the morning trying to figure out what we are going todo today when temps are going to be 100 and heat index much higher, am I going to take the kids to my brothers house to spend the day in the pool or am I going to take them down to camp to swim in the pond where it will be about 10 degrees cooler, or are we just going to stay in the house.

Almost time to wake David up for summer school. Yes my son that had an overall average of 98.5 all of this past year is in summer school. He hates it but with the ADD/ODD, slight mental retardation and the autism it keeps him on a schedule and unlike regular summer school it is fun they are always doing something like cooking, which one day they go buy their supplies for the cooking, they go swimming once or twice a week, go to the movies, the zoo, learn to take the centro bus (although this is not something he needs to learn he can not wait to get his license in a couple of years so he can really drive on the roads and not just down at camp) Oh and another thing that he doesn't need they teach him is life skills, he does have a mom for that and he knows them all. This kid makes me so proud that we have worked for the past 12 years of finding out all his problems to today where he is and how wonderful and smart he has become, except for the normal teenage stuff he is an awsome kid.

Also as I sit here waiting for Miss Makayla's softball uniform to finish washing and drying for her 9 am game today, I think of just a couple of months ago when my princess was the biggest brat in the world. Every year is still a different stage with her and I'm loving 12 shes quiet and not so many break downs 11 was terrible. This kid amazes me. She is my shy little one that has had a rough few months, although she often talks about her Mr. Richardson and visits his wife everytime we go to my mom's house she is takeing his death a little better. After his accident she lost a best friend, some one that thought the world of her and her him. Now with round 2 of softball going on I love watching her do something that she loves todo and starting next week will be the second thing that she loves todo CHEER. UGGGHHH there goes my life with practices 5 nights a week and games everyweek. But I would never change it

Kenny oh Kenny what can I say about my nut case son. He too has gone thru a lot this year. With the death of Mr Richardson whom he was also very close too. Also being a new teen this year but a very mature one. He has a lot on his plate one of his best friends is and has been battleing cancer for the past few years, Kenny has proven over and over again he is a friend that will not let his friend give up. He has yelled at him, cried with him, cheered with him and just been there for him in his worst times. All with being a kid with his other friends also, working out 5 days a week to stay in shape so when his true love FOOTBALL comes around next week he won't be out of shape and hurt. Once again UGGGHHH there goes my life wih practices 5 nights a week and games everyweek. Once again I would never change it.

Maranda oh wow what can I say about my sweet, to intellgant for her own good daughter. She is now studying hard to get her permit. Working hard in some classes in school others just bore her to death because she knows it all. She has made a decission that she is going to NYC for college in two years. My baby wants to go to downtown Manhatten for college. I am scared to death for her todo this but it is the best fornisic biology college there is. Well actually only one of the two in the US that focuses on the Biology part of it more than the criminal justice part of it. The other is Arizona State but for some reason she doesn't want to go there. We have family in New Mexico she would be closer too but nope has her heart set on NYC. I think alot of it has todo with her love of NYC. But now we need to teach her some street smarts because those she does not have
