my baby starts pre k wwwwaaaaaahhhhh

so been doing alot of phone work knowing the prek registration starts now. Well no way to get into the public school pre k here. they limit it big time basically to foster kids and military kids. so started calling around area private schools and OMG! the cost is outrageous!!!! some schools wanted $500 a month WTF??? its pre k not college. so got a hold of my church as a neighbor told me at the bus stop that the church had a school. well it isnt our church but the one in humble and they accept kids from our church. we are second choice after their kids in their church. so called them and found out that it is $435 a month...but the registrar called me later and informed me that they have a part time pre k that is only monday, wednesday and friday and is $350 a month. so next week I am going down and paying our $100 application fee and signing him up. I think that the part time will be best for him anyway. Unlike my older two who started preschool at 3, Ryan has been my shadow for 4 yrs and its gonna be a better fit not to throw him into full time school.

now with that done...the boys have been sick. Started with Ryan and spread to DJ. Nothing serious but a nasty cold with lots of coughing. so my home smells like vicks LOL and after a day or so of not wanting to eat they are running around and eating everything they can get their hands on today. DJ still has a little sinus headache but he desperately wants to go to a friends bday party today so he is trying very hard to act all well ;)

now to add on to my day...marissa's glasses broke this morning. the lens popped out. cant pop it back in and dont want to force it in and break the frame so gonna head to the store to get it fixed shortly.

that is it for now.....

new to this

Dont think my life is very interesting but I am really bad lately with phone calls. Sorry! Its been super busy here. Jim is out of town and will be 2 to 3 wks a month for awhile. that means for me....basically single mom. The kids have been driving me crazy with not doing their chores. I mean finally I had to start taking away ipods, tv and still today we are fighting. AUGH! I am having horrible pain lately but not alot of time to take care of me...busy making doc appts for kids. Marissa has finally got an apt with a Ophlamologist thanks to Tiffany getting me info for hers. And I am trying to track down office visit notes, mri and ct discs and such to get to the Pediatric neurosurgeon so they can asses how much Ryans cyst has grown. It has grown and is worrying us. A lump on his skull that appeared last spring is getting bigger. not gonna be surprised if he is gonna need surgery or a shunt.

Also we are trying to plan to go on a cruise for my sisters wedding in Oct. Unfortunately we had a bad travel agent to start with that gave us wrong down pmt amounts and now I will have to wait a little bit to put together the additional money I will need to get our room. but we are super excited about seeing her wedding and then spending a week with family from NY cruising the western carribean!

DJ is doing well in his new High School and in on the JV tennis team. Marissa loves her school and is also doing awesome. and Ryan and I are enjoying our last yr home together before he starts preschool next fall. We have our puggle Cajun who recently has become a fan of my coffee and those of you who know me well know how I feel about my coffee! LOL I am not sharing and its pissing me off that he gets craftier and craftier to get at my mug.

well that is it for now and tomorrow I will add more
