I get so frustrated with my family sometimes. The ones who think they know better have no idea what they are dealing with, and the ones that do know better are the ones who take the brunt of what happens. I hope that my kids never treat each other the way I am treated by certain family members.

Tomorrow is the last day of school here, and Alana is excited! I can't believe my little girl is going into 3rd grade! And Kait will be going into 10th! And to top it off, A. J. will be 1 in August! This summer will be an exciting one. We leave on the 9th of June to take the girls to Dan's parents for a few weeks. It will give me time to get things cleaned up around here and ready for Mr. Mobile Boy lol. He's just about there with crawling, so I am sure by the time we get back from picking them up on the 4th of July that he will be. Then the fun starts :)

Ali got sent home today. The one thing I hate about this time of year is that the weather is so crazy and everyone ends up with something. I am hoping A. J. doesn't get it.

Kait wants me to go to Six Flags with her on Sunday. I
am not certain if I should go. I'm 38 years old. I'm too old to ride roller coasters lol. But for her I will. The things we moms do for our little munchkins :)

Intro

So I guess the first post should be to introduce ourselves, right? Because that way people will know who they are reading about.

I am Lori. I am mom to two beautiful girls and a very handsome little man. I also work at my church PMO in the morning. Daniel is my husband. He works full time in an educational environment. He is also the father of the three aforementioned kiddos. Kait is 15 and a typical teenager. She is pretty and smart and a wonderful person to be friends with. Ali is 8. She is funny and warm and a giant love. We call her Ali-cat in response to her love of all things pertaining to felines. Yeah, she LOVES kitties lol. Adrian James (A. J. for short) is at this point 8 months old. He is chunky, sweet, and such a lover. His slobber kisses can make even the grumpiest day better for me.

Yeah, you read that correctly. All of my ducklings are seven years apart in age. No, we didn't plan it that way. God had a plan, and this is what it was. I don't regret it either. It almost is like each is somewhat of an only child. The older two are pretty independent as far as getting dressed/hair/teeth/ etc. I've even started teaching Kait to cook. She loves to make new things.

The biggest challenges we face right now is that Dan, Kait, and Ali are all AD/HD. I'm talking NO focus at all sometimes! It can make it hard to get things done around the house. I go to their Dr. Appointments and make sure they have their meds and all that fun stuff. More on that much later.

I am starting this blog as a way of communicating with loved ones and friends (both old and new). Hopefully this will make updates easier.
