Oh WHAT a week it has been

Hello! Sorry I haven't written this week. It has been HELL around here. Last Saturday (the 29th of July) Edward was washing his hands and he slipped and fell, hitting his mouth on our sink. He ended up shoving one of this front teeth up into his gum. So we have spent this week seeing a dentist (after our ER visit on Saturday night), and an oral surgeon. He has a surgery to remove the tooth from his gum on Wednesday the 9th of August. We (edward and I) leave the very next morning for WA state and a 20 day vacation there. I am spending today cleaning the house, will have to run to the Post Office here shortly to mail somethings off, but 85% of my day will be spent cleaning house....ohhhhh what fun!!!!!!! We have decided to supplement Edwards Preschool Homeschool Program we are putting him in Kindermusik again this year and he will also be joining a Bowling League for 3-6 yr olds called Bouncing Bumpers. He gets a free bowling ball at the end of the League which is 22 weeks long. Next year he can join the Homeschool League. I was going to also put him in a Monart program but I don't think this program is a fit for us right now. So we will hold off for another year maybe. They also have programs for Homeschoolers. In 2 years when he starts Kindergarten we can join the local homeschool organization here in Newton. Kinda stinks though that we have to wait until then to start it. I am thinking about trying to find some local moms who homeschool kids Edwards age so we can do things together. I will have to find them. Well thats the long and the short of it here.

Does the Insanity Ever END???

Family....Friends.....Dogs......Children......Pleasing everyone.........Peacemaker.............Loss of hair. Things are just insanely crazy for me and I don't know if this insanity will ever end. Does it seem that way for you? I need a maid, someone to motivate me, someone to finish unpacking from our move, someone to pack for our vacation, dogs to quit barking, Edward to quit dragging the dogs around the house, dogs to bathe themselves, sleep, people to be where they say they are going to be when you travel 2 1/2 hrs to see them, people to be more giving of themselves and their time and less demanding of me and mine when I am the person who always adjust her schedule for other, sleep, quiet, time to myself, a good book, a nice warm bubble bath, Laundry to do itself, glass that doesn't collect dust and fingerprints, a child who listens better, sleep, a husband who was more romantic, central heat and air, more friends and less worries, and did I mention sleep?????

Our Wednesday

Well today was a good day, Edward got to go and meet his new peditrician. I like her and he just LOVED her. She is very nice and child friendly, was playing catch with him and so forth. It was great. Not all business if you know what I mean. However we did have to wait 35 to 40 minutes past his appointment time to finally see someone, but at least we got to wait in a exam room. Not always sure if that is a good thing or not. Today is a HUGE fluid day. It is soooo hot here....rumor has it we will break records today and tomorrow in the heat area. Edward got a new basketball (by little tikes) hoop, and he wants so bad to go out and play with it. I put it in the shade so it was a little cooler, filled his sand and water table, but still he opts (can't blame him) to stay inside and veg out infront of the TV. Should have gotten him a sprinkler, but still not 100% he would play in it or even enjoy it. Probably better he is inside, he is so fair skinned like me that he gets red really easily. I have started to get things ready for making some Christmas Gifts this year. I am excited, I just hope that I can get them done in time, seeing as I am starting kinda late this year. Can't tell what they are :0). Well I am going to soak my feet in some cool water. Love to all. God Bless

To DARN HOTTT!!!!

Well here it is Tuesday and they say it is going to be 107 here today, can you believe that? HOT! HOT! HOT! Makes me wish I was back in WA state where it is only suppose to be 73 degrees. That sounds so refreshing. I am hoping that it will be cool there when we go up in Aug, warm enough to enjoy the outdoors but cool enough where your not uncomfortable....know what I mean? Life has not changed since I posted yesterday, however today I am going to go get my Kansas Driver License. I hate getting my picture taken, so this should be fun. I have to take Edward with me, hope he will cooperate long enough for them to quickly take the picture. I will let you know how it turns out. Edward is watching Noggin right now, tomorrow he goes to meet his new pediatrician. I am hoping that she is as good as the one we had back in OK. It is so hard to replace good doctors. However on the good side, I did hear from the Kindermusik teacher that I have the best OBGYN in the area. I will see her for the first time (the OBGYN that is) in Oct, unless I get pregnant before then and seeing as how I will be out of state in Aug, I doubt I will need to see her before then. Praying that September will be the lucky month for us, a June baby would be nice.....no hot summer time pregnancy. Well better cut this short, need to go and try to make myself look good for that stupid driver license picture, which you know no matter how good you look they always look bad.

Our New Life In Kansas

Well life in Kansas is starting to get a little smoother. I have about 1/2 to 2/3 of the house unpacked now. Still have a lot to do though, especially before we go to WA state to visit. Don't want to leave to much for Kirk to do while we are gone. He will have enough to worry about. Today has been a lazy day though....except for the fact that I braved the heat here and mowed our back yard and the yard around the garage and carport, still have the front yard to do though. To hot, will wait until Kirk gets home this evening.

Besides preparing for our trip to WA, I am also trying to get Edward signed up for Kindermusik and looking into Monart for him. I also am starting to finalize homeschooling plans for him for this fall. He will be in Preschool, next year will be Pre-Kindergarten and then Kindergarten. I am excited but also scared about this adventure we will be beginning.

Kansas so far is nice, hot this summer though. It was 105 yesterday, a 102 (or higher) today and will be about 104 tomorrow. That is HOT!!!

Loving our new house. There are a few things we will be changing as we get the money (like getting a landscapper to do the yard, and a painter to redo the inside). Kirk is wanting to do some modifications to the house later on.

Still trying to get pregnant, will wait until Sept now though do to the fact Kirk is super busy at work and I will be gone.

We are going to be taking Edward to see Thomas for a Day Out With Thomas in Oct down in OKC, OK. Speaking of which Edward and I are taking a little trip down to OKC,OK this weekend to see a dear friend and to get Edward a hair cut. I also want to do a little shopping.

Well that is about it here for now. Will keep you posted.
