I can not believe how busy I am!  I feel like I go from the min. I get up until I go to bed at night.   Working with Raelynn is a real blessing but she gets distracted so easily!  I would love it if I could just get her to focus on what she is suppose to be doing. 

Daniel is also a handful.  Its more like he is three instead of five.  He gets into everything.  His latest love is the washing machine.  He will not leave it alone.  And it doesn't seem to matter how severe the punishment is, its worth it.  He will get a good (affectionately using Kim's phrase) pow pow and cry then be right back in there like it didn't phase him.  I wish I had something that I could do to keep him from doing that.  Those of you that know me, know Im strict.  I don't just let things happen, I expect my kids to obey what their parents tell them.  This one however seems to go beyond strong willed.   He reminds me of a bussiness man that will pay whatever price it takes to get what he wants.  I really need to figure out how to break that.  Spanking isn't working, talking isn't working, taking things away isn't working, finding other things for him to do isn't working.   Short of putting him in a rubber room, Im not sure what eles to do. 

Most everyone knows how into baseball Ryan is and we devote our whole spring to it.  Well he has been in fall ball this year and we are devoting all of our time to that now.  Thinking oh yay I only have one more week to go, the kids wanted to join a homeschool bowling league.  With bowling being near and dear to my heart I just had to say yes.  So now on Wens. we are trucking across town to bowl.  They are loving it so far and its not just about one kid.  So they are all happy!  Well except for Daniel, he doesn't get to bowl and he really wants to.

So with all this said, I would love to have an extra hour or two a week just for me.  No kids, no husband, no bills, no somethings that need to be worked out, no housework, just me time.
