Well its been a really long time since I blogged but

I've been busy with the kids and house--well LIFE is more like it. Now that its getting warmer, the kids are wanting to be outside more and I am starting to get spring cleaning fever so I need to do it when I have that "gumption" to do it because it doesn't come around very often--teeheehee. The kids are sick and now I'm getting it but I'm doing things to prevent it very much--like taking my vitamins and meds and eating better. I am also trying to NOT SHARE stuff with the kids but the youngest, Alex, loves to share everything with me and so its a struggle sometimes.

Well Jason is doing so wonderful that he doesn't even need to go to the Learning Center anymore and he doesn't need to have resource at school either. We are all very, very proud of him and he will graduate from kindergarten on May 24th. He won't need resource next year either but if he starts to "lag behind" then we can get some Title I help for him but if we keep working with him at home like we have been, he shouldn't fall behind. Angel will sit down and do his homework sheets with him now and he just whizzes through them like a pro. I just can't say enough about Jason--he is one of grandmas best kids.

Thomas will still continue to go to the Learning Center but only Tues, Wed., and Thurs. and then his IBI Coach Clyde will come over to the house on Fri. from 4-6 to work with him here. He also comes over on Sat. to work for a short time with him. They were over on hours with TJ so we had cut somewhere so we cut time at the Learning Center so we didn't have to lose hours at school with Georgia or time with Clyde. Thomas is learning so much but he is still behind on his skills so he will have the extra help for a while--we are still proud of him also.

Alex will start pre-school in Oct. and I can't wait. I will have peace and quiet in the house for at least a little while during the day then and will be able to get more done. hehehehe I love him so very much and couldn't love him (or the other two boys) anymore if he was my own child. He is starting into the terrible twos somewhat but I have to say that he really isn't that bad.

Well I could go on and on about my grandsons but I need to close now but will write again about them along with my daughter, Angel.

Nasty, medling, stupid parents

I just can't stand it when some grandparents can't see that their grandchildren are in a shell and aren't greatful to people that bring them out of it. My step-dd, Lexie, is being hurt severly right now and I can't do anything about it. Lexie and I have had our differences (many) in the past but she was finally getting on with her life and beginning to become happy again (after Scott's death) when blam-o, she is getting "hit in the face" again and getting knocked down because of someone's problem with her friendship with Sam and Amber. Lexie is about to lose the one thing that has brought her out of her "slumber" that she has been in since Scott's death and it's just not right.

I would do anything in my power, if I could, to make things right for Lexie but I just don't think that I would make it better for me to talk to this person so I just have to stay out of things. I also have to think about our little guys and don't want to do anything to get her on to us--I really don't know if she would do anything like that but I can't take that chance.

She has until next Sunday to figure out what she is going to do--we said she could come here for a little while but I don't know what she is going to do. I just can't believe that she is being made to give up her relationship with them. Dear Lord please be with Lexie and help her--keep her safe. Amen.

Why do people have to do stupid things?

My dh, George, is just being so stupid right now that I am just about to smack him. He does things sometimes that just really urk me and last night and this morning he's really doing a great job of that. He drank a little too much last night, got sick, and then wants sympathy this morning. Well I don't highly think so--self inflicted= no sympathy. There's a lot more to all of this but I just don't want to put it down in my blog right now so I will close.
