Thank God it stopped! all that flooding was getting crazy! i'm so glad ya'll didn't get anySorry Kim... all of our rain has stopped (thank goodness we haven't gotten the flooding) and it it HOT hot HOT here! T is NOT going to football tonight b/c it's 101 out right now.
sorry about your SIL
and glad to hear the girls had a nice vacation from their mom with Aunty Liz
I try to tell my kids that noone is perfect and that I will love them forever no matter what....DS likes soda and I try to limit it..but not restrict it. I think keeping sweets completely away from a kid will make it more novel for them when your not around or they grow up
I wanted to do that with Andie this week, but she's in San Antonio visiting her dad for the last week of vacation. She's coming back tomorrow thoughI woke the kids up early today, I know bad, bad mommy.
I am going to be waking them up earlier and earlier each day now b/c school starts in less than a week!
I'm also doing a staggered bedtime again, so they can get some sleep before I wake them up in the morning![]()
T has to be at the bus stop at 7:20am!! At least the other three don't have to be at school till 9am.
and then to top it all off... they're parents are VERY strict about what they allow the girls to eat...they say their fat![]()
They are big girls... as in TALL!! They don't look fat at all. Their mom is at least 5'8 and dad is 6'1, but right before they came they took them school clothes shopping and they went up a size in clothes.
That flipped mom out, and told them they were not allowed to eat "junk" and they had to run everyday here.
Ok, we're not big runners, but our kids are active and they are NOWHERE near fat. We enjoy food, and our kids are allowed to have junk along with healthy foods. We just balance them out.
So... what do the girls do as soon as they're at the airport... buy junk food!! It is just so sad that they are having to worry about that kind of stuff at 13 & 11.
Well, they mom is SO not happy with us I'm sure... we didn't hold any food back from them, let them choose special stuff from the store, and they had Dairy Queen for the first time! We actually took them their twice since they asked us too.
Yesterday when they talked to their mom (for the FIRST time since they arrived 8 days ago ) she told them to get ready b/c they're going to be running 8 miles when they get home to make up for all the food they ate here![]()
Another thing that was so sad, the 11yo kept commenting how "weird" it was that I would just walk up to my kiddos and give them a big hug, kiss them and tell them that I love them! I made sure that by the end of their trip I did ti to here too. That just makes me think that their parents don't do/say that to them. Man, I hug/kis my kids so may times during the day!!
Ok, ok, I guess I'll just stop now... I could go on and on.
well the fox river is over its banks, and about two blocks away from our house. The tornado bells have been going on and off all afternoon, and the skys are really pink right now.
