Week 2

Last week was crazy and I am thrilled for a less busy week! The kids had a good first week back. Lexi was very excited to finally begin gymnastics today. Mikey he likes jr high but is not liking the homework. I hope he changes that or else he won't be playing sports with school. Kaylee likes school when she wants to. We did buy her a new lunchbox over the weekend, a frozen lunchbox, so she was excited to go to school this morning with her packed lunch.

I worked all weekend, 2 eight hour shifts. I was so tired and happy that I was able to sleep in on Monday since there was no school. I have to work today but thankfully I will be off tomorrow for my hubbys birthday. Yesterday we went to six flags. We didn't stay too long. And I was fine with that. I had too much other stuff to get done at home. I cut Mikeys hair since we missed that the first week of school. I also helped kaylee shampoo her hair. She has problems with doing it herself. I also did a load of laundry. Chores never end.

Most days I wonder why in the heck did I want to become an adult! It's tough.

I almost forgot, I broke the other car on Saturday.  Yep of course I was driving it but thankfully I was close to home. Unlike if my husband had been driving home from work he wouldn't have made it home. By the time I got it home it was overheating and all the gauges were acting weird. The husband is pretty sure it is the serpentine belt and plans to change it out tomorrow.  I hope he will be able to do this job himself. We can't afford to send another car to the mechanic.

^^^ The above was from the other day^^^

Yesterday was hubbys birthday. When Kaylee asked me how old dad is now I told her and her reply was oh I thought he was 100 today! He had a pretty good day.  We got up and I started laundry after I took the kids to school.  Then we headed out to go find a book for Lexi that she needed for school. Our first stop didn't have it but they were able to check another store for us and they had it. Yay! Then by his choice he stopped off and got the serpentine belt for his car.

  We got back to the house and I switched out laundry and then we headed back out to grab some lunch. We ended up at Cicis pizza. And this time the twins actually ate. Actually Harley did until he noticed the game room which terrifies him. I guess its the sounds and the darkness.

We got back home and Mike tried to fix the car. Decided it has another problem as well. It is going to be between 2 and 5 hundred to fix, that was the given estimate. The mechanic won't know exactly until he looks at it. I say forget about that car and try to get a new car. I am off work this weekend so we are going to "look".  I think it would be better to get something a little more reliable.  The current car we paid $500 for. We bought it from my sister. The car is 20 years old. If we can find something with a small monthly payment I would be happy with that. So maybe we will find something.
