What A Monday!!!!

Cassidy freaked out again today when I dropped her off. I was told just to drop her off and go. So, I got out of the car with her, gave her hugs and kisses and told her to go to her line and she was screaming. I told her to turn around and walk to her line and she went a little bit so I started to go back to the car and she ran to me. She did this over and over until some nice lady asked what class she was in and took her for me. I don't know how to keep her from doing this every morning!!! I am told once she is in school she is fine. And then Will told me he got us free Faith Hill concert tickets for Wednesday, I was so excited. I guess she is making her Christmas cd and invited military for free. But, I have a rehearsal and meeting that night I cannot get out of, so no Faith Hill for me :(

Breakfast in bed!!!

Will is amazing :) This morning he not only let me sleep in, he woke me up with a tray of french toast in bed!!!! French toast is my favorite, and he made it just for me. Kendall soon followed him up the stairs and crawled into bed right next to me and shared. She even tried to take my pre-natal vitamin, she just grabbed it and said "mmmmm, cani" which means "candy". She was so quick, but spit it out when she tasted it, hahaha. So needless to say, I had a great morning :)

Such A Rough Morning!!!

Dropping off Cassidy at school today was rough!!! She started crying when we were still in the car, telling me "I don't want to go to school". I told her she had to, it was Friday and she would have the next two days off. She was pretty upset still when she got out of the car, I gave her hugs and kisses and told her she needed to go to her line for her class and she made it half-way there, then turned around waving and crying. As I was getting into the car, she ran to me crying even harder. I got out, gave her more hugs and tried to ask her what was wrong. A little boy came up and said "she does that everyday, she always says she wants her mommy". I ended up parking the car and taking her into the office to see the school social worker. We were able to go into her office and try to calm her down enough for her to go to class. It really didn't help any. The lady asked her if she didn't go to school, how was she going to learn and she said "my mommy can teach me at home". After about 7 minutes of us trying to calm her down, the lady decided I needed to leave because my presence was only making her want to go home even more. She told me to give her a quick hug and kiss good-bye and that she would help her after that. So, I picked Kendall up and gave her hugs and kisses, told her I loved her and would see her later and proceeded to walk out of the room. As I was closing the door she started screaming like someone was killing her, begging me "don't leave me here, I want to go home", I felt like I was such a bad mom!!!!!! The lady called a little over an hour after I left and said she had finally calmed down and was in a classroom with another teacher who was helping her with her work. I guess she told them she didn't like her new teacher because she makes her learn things she doesn't understand. So, I guess we will go from here. She has been so attached to me lately, I think it has a lot to do with the new baby, so I am going to go out somewhere with just her tonight so we can talk and she can feel like she is still special. But man, what a morning!!!

Big Girl Bed!!!

Today Kendall decided she wanted to sleep in the big girl bed we have in her room. Before Kendall was born, we bought bunk beds and the top one has rails that go all the way around. Kendall had always been in her crib but when we moved into the new house, we took the bunk bed apart and put the one with the rails in Kendall's room. So, today at nap time, she decided she wanted to sleep in it. So, I tucked her in and put the gate on her door so she couldn't climb down the stairs if she got out. I just went up to check on her and she was fast asleep. My little baby is sleeping in a big girl bed :( She is growing up way too fast.

Cassidy is a super 1st grader!!!!

I was really nervous for her to start school, not only because I cannot stand this school district, it is horrible and the main district in Illinois that is considered poverty stricken, great huh? But last year she had a horrible teacher who didn't care what she didn't understand as long as she got her through the year. So, her teacher sent home a packet today from their work last week and her penmanship is actually pretty good. I didn't really get a good feel for her teacher when I met her, she was very standoffish but I think she may be a little more strict than the last which is what she needs. She did put that her work was "poor" on one of her papers and I could not see what was wrong so she may be a little too strict, but I think Cassidy will do good......until we move and I put her in a better school district in California.

It felt so good!

I had my first rehearsal last night and it went great!!!! I am so excited to get back to acting even though I am a little nervous. Each service I am performing in front of is about 400 people, a lot to start back to, but I am sooooo excited too. And my partner is awesome, I saw him last year and thought he did amazing and now I am opposite him. So, in exactly one month from today I will be performing, woo hoo!!!

10 Weeks!!!!

Today I am officially 10 weeks pregnant!!! I don't have another doctors appointment for another week and a half but today I get to go for blood work, woo hoo. Hopefully this place I am going to does a better job than the hospital. The lady who took my blood there went through my vein and into a nerve and my whole arm had pains shooting through it, it even hurt the next day, that was not fun.
