So, I will be watching the boy up the street this summer, but that's a good thing, because he keeps my kids entertained/annoyed, and they do the same to him. This should be fun! I need ideas on how to keep things structured and organized. Any good sites with crafts, field trips, etc that I can take advantage of would be welcomed. The kids are 9, 8, and 6 so, anything that I can do with all of them to keep their interest would be great! Hopefully with any luck we will get KI passes soon, so the water park will be an option, since I obviously cannot ride any of the cool rides....
On another note, I have my next doctor's appointment on Thursday. I'm a bit nervous, and if you know me, you probably know why I'm nervous. I could use some good thoughts/prayers, whatever suits your lifestyle choices. I'm sure everything will turn out well; I've been working on some healing meditation exercises that I was told about from a very good friend, and they seem to be helping with the anxiety/stress, but still, I'll be happier when the doctors tell me there is nothing to worry about. I have been feeling the baby move more and more, which is a little scary in and of itself. I mean, I've had two kids already, but that was forever ago, and I feel like a new mom, experiencing everything for the first time. For instance, I completely plan on taking another childbirth class, just because the technology has changed, the options for women in birth have advanced, so I think it'd be best if I was brought up to date on all of those things. I have a stroller and car seat now, thanks to mom and an awesome yard sale find. I have limited clothing items (what could be salvaged from the other two kids), and that's about it. Things I still desperately need/want: pack and play; crib; swing; high chair; onesies/sleepers/clothes in general. I plan completely on having another baby shower, and I don't care what anyone says about only getting one baby shower ever. It's been almost 7 years since I had a kid, I have nothing (as evidenced above) so, yeah, I'm having a shower.
As far as gifts go, I totally got gyped on my graduation gifts. I did get a few, but read "few" as "two." And I didn't get those until well after my actual graduation. It's just very frustrating to see others showered with gifts for graduating high school, when I busted my ass for two and a half years for a degree, and I can't even get a scholarship to help pay for the rest of my schooling. It's not like I don't have an amazing GPA, or that I wasn't chosen for Who's Who, or that I wasn't an officer in a student organization. You would think they would want to help support and promote activities like that. So then why is it so damn difficult to get any help? I'm in debt over my head for my degree already, and I'm terrified once I get out of school I won't be able to find a job, let alone pay back my student loans. Sometimes I just wish my parents were rich and would pay for everything for me.
