KINDERGARTEN!!!

Can you believe it??? I sure can't! She was so excited to go and when I picked her up that afternoon and asked what she thought she said "it was awesome!" Let's see how long that lasts! LOL

What's new?

Life is such a roller coaster! The Girl starts KINDERGARTEN in 6 weeks!!!! That's just crazy talk right there I tell ya! Thinking about her waking up at 6:45 in the morning is reason enough for me to consider homeschooling her! She still doesn't do mornings... at. all! The Boy is VERY much a boy and in very much of a rude awakening when he wakes up one morning and his sister is not here... all. day. long! (That's going to make for a very long day for me!) C is also in for some changes coming up. He has been having some noticeable issues with his voice since the beginning of the year. It has bothered him enough that he finally went to the dr about it, she referred him to an ENT dr who did a scope and found a mass on his vocal chords. Since C uses his voice for "other than social reasons" they referred him to a surgeon who specializes in vocal surgeries. Yesterday C met with him and he took some images and they scheduled surgery for July 25th. C will be on complete voice rest for 7 days and then he will gradually be able to increase his vocal use to full speaking capacity 4 weeks post op and he should be able to go back to singing within 6-8 weeks. In other news... I got a new washer and dryer!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!! My old machines where 15 years old and just so tiny and not energy or water efficient. I finished ALL the laundry in the house in 4 loads, that would have easily been 8 -10 loads in my old machines. I can't imagine how long that would take in the dryer. A small load was taking about 70 minutes to dry. :( I told C that we were going to save so much money by not using all the energy and water that we wouldn't even feel the payments. LOL It won't be that much, but it could quite possibly be 1/2!

I hate girl drama!

I'm just not good at it. I had the guts to tell someone that something they did made me feel excluded and therefore I wouldn't be joining them on an outing this week that was going to put me in the same situation. They didn't say anything at all. Didn't acknowledge it, didn't apologize, didn't deny it. Yeah, so thanks for that! Word got back to me that she said my feelings w/ another person involved so I sent an email pretty much telling her that her behavior w/ this other person made me feel uncomfortable and that I didn't want to go through that again. From this person I got, sorry you feel that way, but yeah we do that. WOW! Really??? Thanks for taking my feelings into consideration. I like to think that I'm a pretty good friend to people and that I go out of my way to help a person out and what not. So when the same isn't offered to me it hurts, deeply. I'm pretty crushed right now and what really stinks is that I know that to not cause more drama I shouldn't talk with anyone in our circles about it so yay, I get to just keep it all inside, we all know how healthy that is! So let me paint the picture for you..... let's pretend that you are invited to go somewhere with friends, you arrive and it is just the three of you. Through out the course of the time together you are repeatedly walked away from, excluded from conversations, and even while eating together at a table one of the people literally has their back to you as they continue a conversation w/ the other person about people you don't even know, while they share food all buddy buddy like and no one has given you any thought. At one point, they even walked away in the store and left you with all of the kids. So, yeah, that was a wonderful time and I really can't wait to do that again, NOT!
