Random Thoughts From The Week
So, Marc has been out of town all week- anyone notice how often he's traveled this year? This is not normal. Thankfully this was his last (planned) trip until we are on our stateside in December. I still have vacation pictures to post, but this will have to do for now-*I'm super tired. Not sure if it's from our trip to Germany or what. I'm so tired, yet I've had trouble all week falling asleep. Only to be awaken by Bales who wet her bed one night, wanted Daddy the next night, wanted me the night after that and wanted to sleep with me early this morning. (And, NO I'm not pregnant Mom.)*I've been to the public library twice, done all sorts of crafts- drawing, painting, clay, playdough, gone to the playground, took them to eat Burger King and bought them milkshakes...yet they still want MORE. I'm drained.*Addison is so off schedule this week. Actually, I think she's been off schedule most of her life. Yes, yes she has. I guess this is what happens to the 3rd child? I was so strict- super, ridiculous strict with Cerys, a bit more relaxed with Bales...and now, well Addison just sort of has to go with the flow of family life. I've been so sad for her this week with me being a single parent because she gets put down on the floor (on a blanket!) or in her excersaucer thingy constantly so I can deal with the big girls. Once this week I felt like she just looked at me like, "What happened Mommy, you use to play with me." I could have cried. *Addison is 6 months old today! And she started eating solids today- well, can you really call mushy rice cereal a solid? Gross. She ate about 3 tiny bites and made a bunch of funny faces. I fed her her first bite, then the girls were so excited so I let them each give her one bite. I was afraid she was going to choke on the spoon, the girls didn't quite get the concept that "Addison has never eaten anything in her life let's be gentle!"*Marc is at the U2 concert right now. Addison still won't take a bottle so we gave my ticket to our friend. Marc has been texting me all night with updates, I think he's enjoying it. I just did not feel good about leaving Addison with a sitter for more than a few hours- from the time the doors opened to the end of the concert I would be missing 2 feeds and I think she would freak.*We had 9 American students arrive this week to begin the gap year program! We are very excited, not only to be around fellow American for a few months, but to see how they will grow in their relationship with God. They are all coming over for dinner tomorrow night. Guess I should go to store first thing in the morning. Nothing like last minute planning- which I NEVER do. For real, it drives me crazy. But I was not wanting to attempt another grocery store trip with all 3 girls in tow.*School starts in 2 weeks! Cerys will be going all day and Bailey will be going every morning. Whatever will I do during Addison's morning nap?? Oh the endless possibilities!!!!!Goodnight y'all!
