Well good morning then

Hi all,
Well here we are, at 6:00 in the morning (isn't that the start of an 80's song?), and I can barely see the screen because I fell asleep last night at about 8:30 while putting my baby to bed.
My job hunt is still on, I am still unemployed for the 2007-2008 school year. I have a job interview this morning that doesn't sound terribly promising, but my hopes are high just the same. Now if I can only get someone to help me watch all of these kids!

My one little boy I babysit has ADHD, and just found out his parents are getting divorced three weeks ago, and then a couple of weekends ago his dumbass father took him to the park with his new girlfriend, and made out with her in front of him. Now he's a big risk for me. He has these huge meltdowns where he freaks out, screams, throws things, etc. He threw all of my patio furniture off the porch the last time he was here. Who on earth do you get to watch a group like this for an hour and a half?? Lucky for me the interview is local, so I may not be gone all day.

Coffee tastes really good. Lots of splenda, lots of milk, really strong coffee. Mmmmmmm.....

Tomorrow is Connor's fourth birthday, so stay tuned for photos of that! His progress is so tremendous these days that it's just unbelievable. I swear he's like a different child than the one who moved into this house with us last August. He slept in a crib, he had no words at all. Now he talks up a storm! And of course he's in a bed, now if he'd just sleep in it all night! Of course vey few of our kids are sleeping through the night at this particular juncture, so oh well. Such is parenthood. But look for the pics, I'll put them on here on Thursday or Friday, I imagine.

Robert enjoyed his day, too! I may end up regretting the Blackberry I bought him on ebay. He is either on it or reading about it or messing with the settings or on the other phone talking about it ALL THE TIME. Hopefully the newness will wear off and it will be the very helpful tool I imagined it to be!!

So that's all I've got this morning! We're just here trying to get our schedule all back to normal, and looking forward to the upcoming school year. It's only a couple of weeks left now, and everyone will be off to school! And Charlie will be off to the babysitter, (sigh). I am happy for Jackson to start first grade, I think he'll love it. I'm worried about Katelyn, she has to start her first SOL grade, and that's going to suck. I'm happy for Connor, he loves his preK class, and misses his routine and his friends. But poor Charlie! His whole world is about to get turned upside down. (sigh)

I hope everyone has a great day! I'm going to interview with a daycare that provides PreK, Kindergarten, and first grade. Let's hope it will pay the bills. It would be nice to work somewhere so close by.
