Taylor'sMommy

Ever get those night time blues? Dh, the kids,and I went to our high schools's football game. We met up with my best friend's hubby. We talked, watched the game, ate some snacks. Once it was time to go (at halftime because Tay has school tomorrow) dh said...how about I stay here with J and he take me home?

Now, what am I suppose to say in front of our friend? NO WAY! I'm tired...I worked today...then went to work out....wrestled with the kids...and now you want to stay out until....well?...It's ...

Just to let everyone know...if you go over to parenting after adoption...you can read about my toothless-ness again. I'm calling the dentist in 11 minutes....but who's counting?

No, really...I do. Isn't that a great title for this blog? Here's the deal...remember the toothless Shelley post? Well, the saga continues...

I went to Dr. A twice. First the darn tooth fell out. He glued it back in. He said, well...it doesn't fit. Huh??? Wouldn't that mean something? Obviously NOT to him. I went another time. Part of the metal from the root canal was showing....no prob. Just add some cement or whatever to cover it up. Right???? WRONG!!!

...

I have a new son. His name is Will....same as my old one. He's just new. He wakes up happy, has started to sing around the house, kisses me ten times more than my old one, VERY rarely hurts his sister, has VERY few temper tantrums, acts wonderfully in public, and has had 3 out of 3 AWESOME days at school.

My "old" son use to wake up ANGRY...screaming my name. (not in a sweet mama?...but a violent MAMA!!!!!!!) He never sang. He hurt his friends, sister, parents, and teachers. ...

Well, it's been 2 days of working and dd has told me...I DON'T LIKE YOU WORKING! Now, the past two days she's been with her adoring grandparents. I will be teaching only 2 mornings a wk...while she's at her school. Her little brother will be going with me. I can still eat lunch with her MWF, go to all activities after 12:15 at her school, take her, and drop her off. Ugh!!!!

It's hard to please your kids. Ya know? I know she is also getting sad that the summer is drawing ...

Well, "As Shelley's World Turns" is so funny.....I never have a dull moment. But, that's ok...I am a bit dramatic myself..so why shouldn't my life be?

Friday wake up. I "was" going to take Willie pie to MDO. And, a babysitter was going to come over and watch Tay so I could go alone. WELL...the babysitter didn't show up. I called over and she answered in a groggy, asleep voice...Hellloooo? Yep! She OVERSLEPT! I was on a VERY tight schedule, so I coudlnt' wait ...

Well, yesterday morning at 4:17 am my tooth fell out. I thought it would last until I got to the dentist office, but it didn't. I am SOO thankful though for the party AND teaching 4 yr old Sunday School it stayed in!

I went to the dentist yesterday and sat in the chair. He came by and gave me the "be with you in a minute" smile. I gave him back a HUGE toothLESS grin! He jumped backwards and said AHH! I said, hey wait! Not the response I wanted!! He said, what did you ...

Well, I think the moment has arrived for me. I have a lot of stress due to my grandmother's alzheimer's. **Too much to talk about in this blog** Then, a little stress "trying" to clean this house for the bday party tomorrow while my 3 yr old tornado tries his best to dismantle everything I've done. But, here's the kicker....

My front top tooth is falling out. Yes, you heard me right...it's falling out. I have a crown there...had since I was in the 4th grade. (Well, numerous ...

**This is the post from parenting after adoption..is that legal in blog world? Just copying my post?

Can you believe it? My baby is 7 years old today. Wow....time sure does fly. She will be starting first grade in a couple of weeks. She is truly amazing.

Taylor has a heart of gold. She is sweet, thoughtful, and the best little "mama" sister Will could have!! I tell her all of the time SHE made me a mama. And, she loves going over her birth story. ...

Well, it worked. Sort of. But, any step in the right direction is better than nothing! We gave Will the melatonin last night. It only took Brad 20 minutes to get him to sleep.***Before it's been 2 hours!*** He slept SOUNDLY until midnight and that's when he woke up crying. He came and got into our bed. Bummer. We were so praying he would STAY asleep.

He didn't kick, punch, or roll around like a tornado in our bed at all. And, it's 8:26pm right now and he's still asleep. ...
