dyk it's after 7a and this thread is just getting started


dyk and there aren't any new posts to April's thread


dyk dare I ask what people were up to last night


dyk I was comforting my friend


dyk hateful things are being said about her daughter by people who have no clue


dyk and friend is questioning where God is in all of this


dyk not a good thing for anyone involved

For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.  The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.       Song of Solomon 2:  11,12

dyk I am having a "why do I bother" "what was I thinking" day


dyk I went to the county court to talk to the judge about my ticket, to get stuck with the nasty, cranky ol' DA who could do nothing for me b/c he has no authority w/ my type of ticket, only to be told to just contact the Animal Patrol cop who wrote it and if she would recommend dismissal, that would be the end of it


dyk that took 2.5 hours


dyk then I am painting Abi's desk and was all set up so the kids could help - Dek before Abi got home and Abi after, so only one was painting at a time


dyk so instead of one disaster, I had two


dyk I should just park them in front of the TV like everyone else - it's no longer worth the planning, frustration, disaster and ensuing clean up

dyk the kids are playing - they want nothing to do with me


dyk maybe that was what irritated me


dyk they only want me when they are trying to get out of bed, need their sheets changed or are hungry


dyk they are only 5 and 3 - who knew that started so early????

dyk the kids are going to bed at 6pm


dyk I had to make an impromptu visit to the ped for DEKLAN b/c he started breaking out in this itchy rash and spiked a fever while at the DA's office


dyk my first thought: chicken pox


dyk turns out, he was flushed - perhaps dehydrated - we were there over 2 hours and I'd only taken one sippy cup and he got into chiggers somewhere, WHEW


dyk but the kids lost an HOUR off bedtime in FIVE MINUTE increments while I tried to run THREE errands after picking Abi up from school


dyk I wish it could be bedtime now. ;-( I hate those days when I don't get to really enjoy them.

dyk Dek is already out of the bath - he went potty before hand - all on his own just hopped up there, waited, peed and then got in the tub


dyk so I was likeooooooooooooooooooookay.


dyk I told him after small group we'd get him a bag of mini candy bars and for each peepee in the potty, he'd get one


dyk and each time he pooped in the potty, we'd make a trip to the train store (right around the corner)


dyk so we'll see


dyk and the meatballs are almost ready for 5:15 dinner time


dyk then abigail in tuband Dek reading stories


dyk while Dek as in the tub Abi cleaned up the toys


dyk and did an excellent job


dyk now Abigail is listening to her new listening therapy CD - the "birds" as she calls them - she LOVES this CD - as she well better - it was $59


dyk and working on her handwriting without tears pages
