You've heard it. It appears that the grass is greener on the other side. Since my week and 1/2 of being here I have had the opportunity to meet a few of the girls' friends. They've rang the door bell with this halo of a smile and when I open the door a breath of fresh clean air sweeps across my face. This air isn't the air of Houston, for the air outside is humid and much like that of an armpit! This air is from the darling little girls that come to visit. They never raise their voices over an "inside" voice and never talk back. They never run or jump off of the furniture and they always say their please's and thank you's. How wonderful it is when friends come for a visit! :-)
Last week seemed like it flew by, but this week has dug it's feet deep into the ground and is making it difficult to get through it. Sara and I had a rough day on Monday. She refused to clean up and I refused to let her have her way. So, an hour long battle took place of kicking, hitting, scratching, biting, and even my shirt ripped. When it was all said and done she was able to calmly talk to me and she cleaned up her mess. I was so proud of her for finally minding and excited that I was finally able to complete a punishment and talk about why things got out of hand.
Natalie has been sick all week. I'm definetly ready for her to go back to school so that I can have a quiet morning and hit the gym! I haven't been able to work out since Friday! I was off last night for a while so that I could get out of the house since I hadn't been able to leave since Sunday. I just wandered around Target and had a good long conversation with my Mimi.
I should be getting my new computer today! I am currenty sitting at the girls' computer which sits on a very small childrens desk. I have to switch sitting positions every so often so that my legs won't go to sleep!
Well, I hear Natalie stirring around, so I better be off and onto my job!
