sooooo long

O.k. So it has been forever since my last post, but here I am back again. I guess that I haven't felt like anything too exciting has happened to me lately, so I have been quiet...and for those that know me, know that is NOT me!! But today was such a good day (and those days are few and far between) that I just had to let my fingers get some much needed exercise.
First of all, my day started good when I switched banks, and found out that not only do I qualify for a credit card with a sizable limit but my credit score is pretty damn good. Now I know what you are thinking, big deal for a 31 year old, but this 31 year old has had the WORST credit for so long that I couldn't even get an ATM card, and now they want to give me all kinds of extras!! How funny is that!

Well, then I had parent/teacher conferences at Maddie and Colin's school. Now, I didn't have too many concerns. My only worry was Colin's behavior and Maddies talking (and I was worried about her social skills). Anyway, I expected to be in and out, but I was very wrong. First, Maddie's teacher told me that although she used to have to remind her of her talking, she has gotten Maddie 2nd grade (yes 2nd grade) worksheets and she is doing much better! Holy shit, I had no idea how smart this girl was. I also found out that Maddie is no longer following her friend, and is branching out and making new friends. As for the boy, he is doing so much better than I even know. His teacher said that he is reading chapter books (something he doesn't do at home) and he is the most polite boy in the class. I also learned that he has really made a name for himself among the older kids in the school...I am not sure if that is good or bad, but at least he is no longer that nervous wreck he was.

Needless to say, I walked out of the school beaming and so proud of my babies. The thing that really made me happy was that for all the discipline I do, and for as much as I think they don't listen to me, I guess they do and I guess I have done something right along the way because I have great kids...and I am no longer the only one that thinks it!!
