A few months behind
So it's already going on the end of April. CRAP. How do I stay so far behind?
Audrey is still doing AMAZING in school. She's been diagnosed with ADHD and has been put on medication. Was definitely an "ah-ha!" moment for our family. And all the people with nasty comments about medicating my child need to mind their own business. It's not fair for her to have a mind that goes so fast and so disorganized that she can't function. We're not parenting by medicating. We're medicating so that her "brain works again". (Her words.) She's completely blown Success Maker and Reading Eggs out of the water. She's between 2nd and 4th grade on her work. Like I said. Amazing. (And horribly frustrating.)
Amelia is still working on talking. But I'd put her up against any other kid her age in regards to being able to understand, follow directions, and physical abilities. And she's just as adorable as ever. Some days it's a good thing she's cute. She's such a mess. SO stubborn.
We had a meeting for the parents of rising kindergartners today. I'm not sure I have much faith in the school she'll go to. The complete lack of professionalism with those teachers today just put a bad taste in my mind. Thankfully we're working on getting out of Athens.
Jason and I are looking into buying a house in Dacula. You know your husband loves your family when the idea of buying a house in the neighborhood behind them is a great idea.
I know it won't be new. I know it won't be designed the way I'd choose. I know it will probably need some work. But to have a house of my own. For my kids to be able to grow up in a house, in one place. For me to be able to send my kids to better schools.
It's hard to believe that Jason and I will be married 3 years in just a few weeks. Some days it feels like forever, some days it feels so much shorter.
We're planning our trip to Alaska in June. I can't say that I'm totally thrilled about it. I'm a beach person. But I realize that it's probably a once in a lifetime trip. And it's kind of fun that he's taking me on a visit to see Mike instead of going by himself.
And yep, that's about all I really care to sum up the last few months.
