Sparks and Butterflies...

But aside from that, she's still completely normal

does my 6 year old need coffee?

Another big fight with Joseph today. Ugg! We eventually made up – but that boy has no respect for authority. No rebellion, just if it’s not what he wants to do, forget it. I’m sorry, but me getting gas before taking him to school outranks watching the end of Archie. Period. It’s not like I don’t get gas every single Friday of our lives, so this isn’t a surprise. Everything has to be a fight, or yelling at me with him. Really – I think it started with him just being grumpy getting out of bed.

I suppose offering him a cup of coffee is out of the question.

I get to go home at 1pm from work today to start off the holiday weekend. I think I’ll go home and get a jump on the weekend’s paperwork, so I don’t have to do so much tomorrow, which will make my Saturday better.

Bills suck. You heard it here first.

So – Jay’s blog is up and running. I’ll post a linky here one more time.

Happy Birthday LogieBear

My youngest, my baby, turned 4 years old today. Someday you’ll see this LogieButt. I love you. You’re turning out to be a wonderful human being.

Some Logan-isms:

  • No! They’re MY boogers! (if you try to wipe his nose)
  • I yub you.
  • Look! It’s green dinosaurs! (mountains)
  • Is my turn now, Joseph, Okay? (When alerted to the fact that today was his birthday)
  • Bandit is with Moses now? (“His” cat Bandit died. How he’s associated Moses with Heaven, I’ve no idea)
  • Are we outta here? (To his dad in the morning)
  • Can I have my Gorilla? (Umbrella)

I’m so happpy! I don’t know why, but it could be :

  • Finding Stacey
  • St. John’s Wort I’m newly taking
  • Newly renewed relationship with God
  • Newly renewed Bible study
  • Joseph’s suddenly “getting” some things at school

I just find myself smiling for no reason. It’s such a calm good feeling.

I have no idea why I’m writing. I have nothing much to say, but I feel the urge to write.

I start my new church’s women’s Bible study tonight. I’m really excited! I’ve been called twice. Once by the pastor’s wife, and then another time today but Jay didn’t write it down. Anyway – they actually have it where a working woman can actually go.

We moved the TV out of the kids room. No more movies before bed. No more all day all weekend movies. I’m sick of it. And what happens? They went to actual sleep 20 minutes after their stories. Praise God and Hallelujia. And they still woke at the same time. Which means they got more sleep. Joseph was good this morning. Do you think all his problems may have occurred to to lack of sleep? Something as little as maybe an hour? But the kind of cool part is I now have a tv. One that I can watch DVD’s on while Jay’s obsessing over the xbox. I don’t have to bed once a week so I can see something I’m interested in.

I think I may have had a breakthrough with Joseph this morning. I’m not going to get into the specifics right now, I’m too raw from it to rehash it, but suffice it to say he actually showed emotions about someone else. Real emotions, and remorse. And then proceeded to offer comfort, even though those emotions made him cry. This is such a big deal.

In other Joseph news, we’re moving on to psychological testing. Which is going to take a while – so long a while that any actions we take will probably be in the next school year, but as long there are answers, I’m okay with taking it slower with him.
