About the song I'm listening to...kind of a slower rap song, the video is powerful. Perhaps because I come from a "broken home"-it really touched me, considering I spent many days *waiting* for a dad who never came. I talk to him now, but there's an undeniable tension/distance that can't be repaired...
Anywho (not to depress), get a little update going here. We had our first storm of the hurricane season this past Monday/Tuesday. I'll admit-I was scared (considering where we live and all), but we made it out just fine. Plenty of rain (much needed) and wind, but no damage. Had to reschedule a few appts, but no biggie. Had an appt today, or so I thought. I rushed to get there only to find out I had the wrong date and it was this past Tuesday...so, back again next Tuesday...blah. I went with Kim (and her 4 kiddos) to the mall tonight. I was just going to wander around, she was looking for a gift for her husband for Father's day (which she didn't find). I already got Alex's gifts (won't post them here, tho I don't think he'll be reading this before he gets them)...I'm hoping he likes them, tho.
I got Kaitlynne's FCAT scores. I had had her take it to find out where she's at and to give the school an idea of where she needs some extra help from them (and me) when she goes back next year. I didn't want her to pass it, because I want her to repeat 3rd grade for many reasons. Well, she didn't pass...BUT, she was SO close to it! Her math scores were VERY low (not surprising...part of it she's not good in math, and part of it was the school not accomodating during testing), but her reading scores were JUST below where she needed to test...not bad for being at home for the school year! I was pretty proud, actually :) She's excited to go back to school, too...I know I made the right decision keeping her with me, and now it's time for her to return back-make some friends, etc... She does so well with Brandon (she's having her normal tirades that she was having before him), but you can tell she adores him.
Speaking of littlest man, he's doing fantastic! He's getting so big already, I can't believe it! Even Kim saidhe's pretty big for not even being 6 weeks yet...he really just packed on the weight/length (wtgrow little man...and yeah to mama's milk!). The cloth diapering is a BLAST! I love shopping for them, and they don't leak! Breastfeeding gets a bit sore at times, but so obviously worth it...I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I'm proud of myself! Proud of Brandon! Proud of Alex and Kaitlynne for supporting me!
I included a few pics above that I took recently...enjoy and take care :)
