::sigh::

I don't know what is up with me the last few days, but I'm just not feeling like myself.

I'm hesitant to say that I'm "Down in the Dumps" when sometimes I can be happier than hell, but it just seems like I just have been "sighing" a bit more than usual lately... lol

I really think that I have so much going on in my head... between our two trips, money and making sure we have enough for EVERYTHING, the kids, the house, and anything else that you can think of... I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Thankfully the kiddos are my (mostly) saving grace lately.  Zachary is blooming more and more every day.  He is coming up with new words and doing new things that make me smile daily!

The other night, Rowan and I came home from her gymnastics class and shopping and he was waiting at our storm/screen door, sitting on a stool, watching for us.  He ran outside and said, "Mommy, YAY!!" and came running up to give me a hug.  My heart just melted... and melted even more when he said, "RoRo, YAY!!".  haha.  I guess he loves his sissy too :)

Then later that night, Derek had pushed in our big bean bag (it is a huge bean bag from LoveSac) and Zach goes, "Yay! Bean Bag!" and runs and jumps onto it.  Then he proceeds to tell me - in his baby voice and words - "Dada Push. Push".  But his "Push" sound more like, um, "Puss".  LMAO!  So it sounded like he was saying, "Dada Puss" instead of "Dada Push".  haha.

And of course my Rowan is becoming such a little lady.  She is excelling by leaps and bounds in gymnastics.  It makes me so proud to watch her.

She is getting ready for kindergarten too.  We have enrolled her in the local elementary and they put on a program for their incoming kindergardners, to get them ready for school.  It is a really good program, every Thursday for 6 weeks.

The only thing I'm having a problem with her lately is her attitude.  She thinks she is going on 15 instead of being 5... ugh.  It's a bit rough... but I'm sure we'll get back to normal soon enough :)

 

We have 10 more days of being home and then we'll be leaving for our Pismo trip.  Next week is going to go by quickly between getting everything ready for our trip, work, Zach's 2 year check up and getting the kids' hair cuts.

I've been checking the weather every day through weather.com to see what we should be expecting weather wise down there.  So far, it looks good.  I just hope it doesn't rain... and if it does, I hope it doesn't last too long!!

I can't wait though.  I think I need a break from reality.  Ha!  Being in a trailer on the beach, 100 yards away from the ocean, with my kids and husband, a good book and the sun... Oh, I can't wait!!

Yet, secretly (guess not so secretly if I'm telling you all) I'm really wanting it to be May... I can't wait to go to Disneyland and see my kids there!!!

Okay, enough rambling... I know I need to get my butt going ::sigh::  Have a great day, ya'll.
