Hello, Long time since my last blog, Alex is now 13, 14 in 2 1/2 weeks and is going into 9th grade, Joey will be 13 on sept. 6th and going into 8th grade, Andre is 11, 5th grade and lil Nicky is 6 and retaking kindergarten! I had to take Nicky out of kindergarten last year, due to an illness that had to keep him home most of the year, we found out he is lactose intolerant. even though I was teaching at home the principal told me he will be returning to kindergarten , oh well, it may be better for him, since he is behind in reading and math.

I can't believe how grown my neices and nephew are!  Great  young adults there!

Love to come visit Georgia one day!

K.I.T.

Love you all, Pam

Well, it's really late, but kiddies are in bed and it's peacefull and I don;t have to think, just write! I can't seem to get the math strategies easier for Andre to remember, when he's adding fractions, I'll tell him one way and he'll say it opposite, yay! I tried the math sites I was given, but not quite helping any suggestions?

I couldn't believe he is failing math, when I thought he was doing great, but we had a confrence with his teacher and boy, we were way off, just on the math, and reading out loud in class, a little soft spoken. trying to make him over come that fear by having him read to nicky or read to us, so he can get comfortable reading outloud.

As for my house cleaning, YIKES!!  Like a tornado!! or maybe worse, 4 boy's not doing there chores for a week!!!!!!! no difference!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well, "there's alway's tommorrow"!!!!!!!

no cleaning system here, just CLEAN YOUR ROOM, OR ELSE!!

will, I eventually, do get some results, after my temper goes, then it is "clean like you never cleaned before!"

I am working on getting a digital camera for Christmas, so I can down load a few pics, of the growing family here, well see!!!! seeya!!

Now that halloween night, boy when you have 4 Will 5 really my sweet hubby too ,

go on a trick or treat hunt and I mean a treat or treat hunt, let's just say I can open a candy store, in a standard size pillow case's they were all almost 1/2 full and times 5

YIKES!! my teeth are hurting.. actually I gave a lot to my friend at work, her daughter was sick so she kind of luck out with the candy, of course I came to the rescue, gladly!!! It was soooo hard to get my boy's to bed that night, all that surgar

it was amazing when they did finally went to bed.

My sister Wen. was extremely ill recently, had some kind of gum poisioning, she had to have emergency surgery, I have prayed for her last night. please do the same!!

And poor laura did not get in the coast gaurd, because of a 1/4 of an inch...DUMB!!!

Good luck with ELECTION DAY I will be voting too!!!!

just feeling a little depressed, lately, so forgive me for not writting for awhile, just tired.. kids are alway's complaining and it is really getting to me.

I'm back to not sleeping at night and just mopping around not caring what goes around me, my house is a mess and I don't care, sounds pretty petty doesn't it can't help it, I think it is having a heavy dept and just over my head, I tried for a loan and got soo excited, cause the lady said we were approved and it comes out we weren't, so now I'm bummed, I feel a little better getting this off my chest to someone cause I use to take it out on the kids, but I saw what I was doing when Alex, sweet Alex tried to give me back his allowance and then the others tried to follow, I just about went balistic, I just pulled the laugh and said "no way! you all keep that, your mom is just acting," or having a bad day, so whatever you do, dont' argue about money problems in front of your kids, they're always listening to every wurd that comes out of your mouths...XOXOX to you Alex, Joey, Andre and lil Nicky..

  Well we got the grades yesterday and I'm happy to say,3-A's, 1-B, and 2-C's and the C's  are in math and world geography, in WG he was getting a D- so I was really glad about the C, even though I know he can do better..All right Alex!!

  Joey still having trouble actually with his socail skills, when he gets in front of a group to read, he tends to mumble and no one can understand what he is saying, poor little guy, there;s gotta be a way to overcome this.. hint??

  Andre is almost a honor student, it is his writting skills that he lacks, I am going to start by him writting me a report about why his hand writting needs to be improved.

  Nicky is getting so frusterated, cause he just learn how to snap his fingers and he can't do it as loud as I could, and it just infuriates him..

Wel  got worried about nothing, I seem to have caught a virus in the ear, thats why all the spinning felling I had in my head, especially when I get up from bed or to go lie down, go figure, so I'll goto my doctor and get some rx's.

Kids are going back to school schedule, Alex well bring his grade up this week or no runescape this weekend!!! 

Joey is having trouble in socail studies, any tips on that???  I thoght about getting the same book the teacher is using to study at home too,, Good Idea, HUH!!!

Alex saays he can't wait to get his drivers licence, YIKES!! only 12 man don't rush it!!!      

For halloween:

Alex- vampire

Joey- zombie

Andre- yugio

Nicky- spongebob squarepants

What a bunch! huh!!

2 scary and 2 cartoonish..what a combination

We are going to the mall for trick or treating this year, a little safer for the younger ones, plus, Alex, Joey, and Andre will probaly go at the complex we live in too..

Got to get our yearly stash, or will at least 2 months.

It's blog off time gotta go to work!!!

Well, past few day's when I get up, I get these dizzy spells, can't be normal, although been under lot of stress lately, anyway, I like the math sites that tiredmom sent me, Thank you, Alex doesn't care for it but maybe he will work harder on his scool work

I can't believe, Josh (tiredmom's 1st born) now has his permit, WATCH OUT EVERYBODY!!!! Just kidding!!!  Good luck Josh!!!

.

kids no school, me to the dentist, MY TURN<<<<< PLEASE take care of all your teeth!!! leason learned here!!!!!!!

Alex is failing math, well almost with  a 68 not pasting one test since school started..

What can I do? Is there an easier way to explain fraction and there # theories?

next it is applications of fractions, ew! can't remember those for the life of me, actually I don't think I ever got that far..  got any flash cards for them tiredmom!!!!!

Now Joey is doing okay in his math, it is actually social studies he's falling on...

I have a meeting todaywith his teacher, so I will ask her to spend a little more time in that subject, or give me a copy of the book so I can help him....the reason I think is because he is in resource (otherwise known as specail ed.) half the day, and it cuts in his socail studies class, so he is only getting half of the study time, not happy about this schedule, another issue I will bring up in the meeting.....

Andre is doing well in all his classes. What else can I say! He loves school, he of course will deni it, so I wont mention it to him!!!

And lil Nicky looks like he will be the one who loves books in this family!!!!!!!YYEEEAAAHHHH! I got at least one child who loves to read,, and I'm sure he will be like a sponge in school, just observe anything that comes at him... I can't beleive in a few and few more months he will be 5...

Can't wait, full day kindergarten, then he'll be reading all on his own, since he is showing signs of independence already...  why do they have to grow up so fast!!

Good morning!! well yesterday I ending not going to church, My thyroid medication is still off and can't seem to function. Even thouh it was taken out over 2 1/2 years ago, I  still have problems with it.. feeling a little better today..

Poor Andre is going to have 2 of his baby teeth pulled today, the cavity is close to the perm.. he was really upset last night before he went to bed, he really did not want to go, I want to cave and have him not go, I mean I had a bad experience as a kid when I went to the dentist so I did not go for many years,, now I have 1 bridge 4 rootcanals 1 extraction, soon I need another bridge,, and 2 more root canals,, so what can I do if he doesn't go lots of bad news later, or take him and hope it's not going to scar him for life..I well take him !!!

Alex and Joey are not happy they have school and andre doesn't have to go, I said

" boo! hoo!, your'e going!!" it was a nce try, since they went to the dentist last friday and missed school, so I won that arguement.. YEAH!!! I can still win!!!

gosh already 6:20am need to wake hubby and Andre the appointment is at 7:00am!!! and it's downtown!! BYE!!!!!

   Well, my little bunch decided to raid my bed since my sweetheart of a husband Ted had to work til like 12:30 this morning, so since I fell asleep around 8 O'clock last night the boy's all fell asleep in my bed.. YAWN!! Thats why I'm up now, anyway, it's the only time I can get on the computer, if the boy's are asleep...ever since they discover the game runescape I rarely get the computer unless it's in the wee hours of the night.. But that's all going to change, because Alex my first born is a little obcessive with the game, so he'll only go on the weekends if all homework and chores are completed... I think that's fair.. Joey and Andre are not as obcessive with the game, but still like to play (with Alex lurking in the background telling them what to do), now lil Nicky likes to play nick jr.com, I really like this cause it teaches him to think and use the computer at age 4 that is pretty impressive.. I think!!!

Well got nursery duty in couple hours goto blog off!!!!
