While were at Clay we signed up for a program through Notre Dame on a study of how parents communicate with their teenagers and also tips on how to improve your communication skills. I think that this is going to be great for several reasons...
- It will give Lena some time just with us, and something that is only hers!
- We get paid!
- The other kids are taken care of in a fun and safe enviroment, and will be great socially for them.
- I have 6 more teenagers in my future and could use all the help I can get.
- I think Lena getting to experience a view of College will get her more excited to go and keep pusshing her towards that goal!
So, I am excited about it! I think that this will be a great benefit to our family.
Emily and Melody really enjoyed being in the house without the big kids yesterday. They ot upset that they didn't have their own homework so I had to drag out the coloring books....they really needed to study coloring, or so I told them.
Last year on Labor Day weekend, I vowed to NEVER go to Blueberry Fest again! And then this morning Eddie and I are in talks of going. We seem to never learn...Last year, we got seperated and I had a panic attack when I couldn't find Eddie who was trying to wrangle 4 kids through the chaos. I bought the worlds biggest craft which I was stuck carrying for what seemed like 20 miles of crowds and people who honestly scared the heck out of me! I am planning on going with a better plan of dealing with the boys and taking 2 cell phones, so here's hoping that it isn't another disaster! I am trying to break out of that mindset of just avoiding things that didn't turn out the best.
Well, that is all for today, I hope that you have a great one!
