I’m not writing for lack of time, not really at least.  Everytime I open this up to post I decide not to.   I have a lot of stuff keeping me busy, new opportunities on the horizon and I’m feeling mostly ok.   Constantly dizzy, but mostly otherwise ok.   I went to curves 4 times last week and counting yesterday two times this week.  The rest of the weeks schedule is pretty hectic due to a conference at church for which I’m volunteering a lot.

The boys are doing ok.  Bo’s got his normal, ok normal for him, issues.   We are so unsure of what to do about it, if we seek out testing for autism or other syndromes or if we wait it out.   He can be completely sweet, kind and even spur of the moment genuinely caring, then a split second later beat the crap out of someone, which is not limited to kids, he will frequently bite me, hit me, pinch me, hurt me in anyway possible when he’s enraged.    We’re not sure what triggers that anger and often the only way to get him calmed down is when he finally falls asleeps or has a major distraction that he truly cares about.

oh well….not what I wanted to post about.  Zeke has decided he doesnt need to nap.  i think this is what happened to Bo.  It’s hard when an older sibling is outside playing and you can stand at your window and watch him doing so, all while you are told go to sleep.  he’s not buying it this one.  He has decided he doesnt need to and wont nap if he can manage it.   He will no doubt fall asleep in the car if we go someplace but keeping him asleep is another issue as well.  I cant manage him stopping napping at just 2, for his sake and mine!!

Just a few more weeks of first grade for Caleb. He’s doing really well, he’s bright like his mom!  :-)  not much else to say about him at this moment….

well not much going on really.  not much I want to talk about at least.  mothers day weekend was ok.  I wasnt feeling well and was homesick, so it was kind of a bummer weekend, that and we had horrible rain yesterday.

off to see if I can convince zeke to nap.   babysitting this afternoon so the sooner he falls asleep the better!!
