So, I have had this headache that put me down for a few days. It is really hard to be a good mom in that shape. Things getting better today. Don't know why really- maybe just the right combo of meds. I hate taking medication. I feel as though I have been asleep for a week, and now, I can't go to sleep to save my life. What a vicious circle.
N is getting excited about her birthday coming up. I can't believe that she will be eight years old. Wow, I feel old. She seems so grown up all of a sudden. We were going over some of her school work yesterday, and I was praising her for getting everything correct on her sheets. She quickly said,"I already did it last year." It was like, duh, Mom, of course I know what to do. I am so glad that she is having this attitude about it. It is almost comical. I know that we are going to hit that same brick wall that we did last year. I hope I am better prepared on how to deal with it.
Back to the birthday- so, Melissa and Emily are starting this birthday party business. You pay them and they do it all. Great idea...I have seen it done by some high-school girls. For teens, these girls did a fine job, but I know that my friends are going to do a great job. They both work with children's ministry at Hope, so they are around kids all the time. They are going to use N's party as a springboard for the business. It is great because it takes all the pressure off of me. Melisse has been kind enough to let us use her house since the house we are renting is neither big enough or nice at all. YUCK!!! N decided that instead of getting gifts from her friends, she wants everyone to donate to the Humane Society. She came up with that one all on her own. I am proud of her. I think that she is also using it as a reason for us to go to the Humane Society. She really wants a cat for her birthday. I think that I may have WM worn down enough to say yes to that one. We will see!!
Happy Labor Day weekend!
