There’s not a whole lot-exciting going on in my life. I mean… it’s exciting to me, but I don’t think it’s very exciting blog fodder. But alas… I feel I am being neglectful if I don’t post every couple of days… so here goes a quick recap.
Noah named his Tamagotchi: Quiz. I thought that was such a unique name for a six year old to name an electronic pet. But it’s even more unique then I thought because the User name is POP. As in ‘father’. And if you put the names together you get POP QUIZ! And much hysterical laughter from the very bright six year old who’s growing up way too fast!
Today was my last day (I hope) of volunteering in Dinara’s class. They had me do this rhyming scavenger hunt game. I think I made it too competitive…but the kids had so much fun. When I volunteer in Dinara’s class it’s an hour and half project. And I have to be there at 8:45. Ugh!!! So I’m happy that is ending.
Can you believe that there is only like 40 days left of school? WOW! I need to get on the stick planning the weeks the kids are in summer camp.
I’m also in the midst of planning our trip to NYC this summer. I am really looking forward to showing the city to both my husband and my kids. We are going to go see The Lion King on Broadway. I think I’m also going to take the kids to the Kazakh Embassy. Show them the Empire State Building, Ellis Island, the United Nations… go to a few museums. It’s going to be great. I’m also going to get together with some online friends and I am really looking forward to meeting some of these ladies I have known for more then five years.
I spoke with the Speech Pathologist at school today. It’s a very tough relationship for me to manage. She wants to assure me that everything with my daughter is fine. I feel like she’s trying to build a case for cutting services. I recognize that perhaps she is just looking for some kind of validation from me…. That she is doing her job and it’s making a difference. Yet we always seem to get into this weird place where she’s touting all this “progress” with Dinara and I don’t see it. What’s bad is, I just want to avoid talking to the woman. And that is not a good place to be.
Hubby is making progress on the job thing. I’m trying to let it go…but lets be honest. If I’m writing about it here on my blog… I haven’t detached enough.
I haven’t done any more of the kids Lifebooks lately but I did make these beautiful mini 6×6 albums for my Mom and my Grandma. They are about 10 pages and are filled not only with awesome pictures of the grandchildren, but journaling that really captures the essence of who they are. I’m proud of them. I’m even prouder that it’s a crafty project I finished! And the front of the album is beautiful… green polka dots with orange paper flowers… very contemporary and spring like. Trust me… much more beautiful then it sounds.
Do you ever have those days where all you want to do is just sleep-in? I need a sleep in day. Wish it could be tomorrow. I’m looking forward to the weekend.
Ok… I need to go to bed….
