annoyed

I never realized how messed up the English language is until I started to home school my kids and teach them how to read.

There are so many rules in the English language and then after all of those rules there is still something like 70 words that are sight words that don't even follow any of those rules.

It has taken me a long time to figure out the best way to teach my kids how to read. Thank goodness I found the reading for all learners program it has been so nice. If anyone is trying to teach your kids how to read I really recommend this program.

Now onto better and funnier things. Kaden was sitting at the table the other day eating ice cream and says,
Kaden: Mom eating ice cream makes our tummy hurt huh.
Me: Does it make your tummy hurt when you eat ice cream?
Kaden: yes.
Me: Well maybe you shouldn't eat ice cream anymore.
After this comment he looked at me and then looked at the big spoon full of ice cream he had and says,
Kaden: Ok, mom I will just lick it then ok.

Finally a few moments

My camera broke just before Christmas how convenient huh, so I don't have any pics to post. So I will update without them.

We had a great Christmas all the kids were so excited about all the presents they got. After we opened presents we were suppose to go to my mom's house I was thinking we would be able to get there around noon. We were not even close. The kids had to play with everything they got for Christmas before we could go so we didn't end up getting there until almost five. Then we still had to take a lot of presents with us so they could show them to everyone.

Since today is Tuesday I just have to say I love Tuesdays. Every other day of the week my life is so crazy I don't have time to just sit and relax. Chase started his martial arts class and Kayla started her dance class. I really wanted them to have some type of interaction outside of home so we decided to put them in these classes. A normal day for me now is get up get breakfast clean up, start school, eat lunch, finish school and then on Mon. Wed. and Fri. take Chase to martial arts and Thurs. take Kayla to dance, come home fix dinner clean up have a few minutes of family time and then go to bed. And in between all of this keep my house up. Since I am not one of the lucky ones who looses their pregnancy weight I have also dediced to start exercising again mon, wed, and fri. Am I Crazy?

Destiny definantly doesn't have the realxing nursing sessions the other kids had, I am always nursing while trying to do somethig else at the same time. I have even walked around trying to nurse her before. I guess a crazy life is better then a boring one.
