Walking

Today we went up to my mom's. We went up to town & went for a walk.

Here's a pic of my mom & Jesse by the Beekman Arms (in Rhinebeck).

Here is a pic of a Memorial - headstone - I thought it was a good photo for today!

Then a pretty red tree!! Love the colors!!!

This afternoon, my son has his checkup. So we will get to see if he gained any weight! LOL He turned 8 yrs old on 10-6, and weighs @ 40-43lbs! He's a little toothpick. Rayna is catching him fast. Rayna had her checkup on Tues Oct 30th. I don't remember her stats offhand tho - I did copy her checkup paper, so I will look at that later when I get home. Dariyn went back in Sept (11th). Kymberlee has her checkup in Jan. I'll update about his app later on tonight.

UPDATE: 9:37pm - Jesse was 45" tall & 44lbs at his app today. She said he is doing good though, & growing right along his own curve well. Those of you that know about those kid growth charts - there's that curve in the middle of the chart that "most" kids are in. . . well he is pretty low below the BOTTOM curve! lol He got 1 shot. He did well.

The next apps coming up - Jaymz has one sometime this month, then Dariyn goes to the dentist on the 29th - she has a broken tooth. Rayna goes the same day, for her very first dental app. I don't know how it will go.

Real Confessions of a TIRED Mom

I am soo exhausted! I swear I walked about 30 miles this week. . . well it feeeeeeeels like it!! I am totally wiped. . .

Wed of course was halloween & we took the kids out. We took them around their school & then to Rhinebeck. They ToT about 3 & 1/2 hrs. We went through the haunted firehouse in Rhinebeck.

Thurs I did some errands with my mother. She is going for a surgery consult in Dec. So I will prob be caring for her for awhile when she has the surgery.

Fri am (this am!) I spent an hour & 1.2 in "K"! lol We went to Rayna's class this am to share Chuckie with them. Then, we visited the other 2 "K" classes too! So, I got 4 "educational programs" in this week. Rayna's teacher would like me to come back again next Fri with my snake! LOL!!

Then, I took Jaymz home (he went with me after working all night & getting a tidbit of sleep - to the school to take pics for me) and I had to go to Kingston to do my errands & shopping. (Also went over to mom's quick & we took a walk - we have been trying to do this several times a week) . .. (So I am up to @ 7mi!)

I forgot Jesse's dance was tonite - so talking to Jaymz around 4:30, he was like did you forget @ Jesse's dance? And I was like ah shit! I did! Ugh!! SO I had to rush more. . .

I got home just after 5. We left for the high school about 10 to 6.
The dances were all good again this year! They are performed by the 3rd gr classes of the district. Last time we went was when the girls did their 3rd dances in 2005?? Rayna said she is NOT doing that. . . although, she was dancing along in the bleachers!! LOL

Hmm. . . Here we have a parenting program . .. Maybe through the high school? I hear it is 8th graders, but that is middle school. Anyways, the girls get a "life like doll" . . .interesting. . . the baby care packages are these. . . I only know because the things the girls' have matches these things . . . .I though maybe 8th grade is a bit young. . .but then looking at the of 8th graders that have had babies in the last 10 yrs . . (+++) maybe it's not!! My kids would love playing with these babies! LOL Of course, the older girls aren't "playing" but having a "learning" experience. .but still . .

Ok I am getting delirious from lack of sleep so I must go. . more soon!! - I actually have a pretty interesting blog post in the works. .. well *I* think it is extrememly interesting. .. It's probably going to take a few days for me to get it finished. . . Also have several photos I want to get shared. . . HOPEFULLY this week. . . . . . . Till next time!!
