The First

So this is the first post. Over the years I've had other blogs - livejournal, diaryland, myspace - even my own domain. Here I am starting yet a new one. I'm sure at some point I'll become bored and stop writing for awhile again though. Typical of me.

Today was a so-so day. My oldest, R, had his "Adventures in Learning" today. They had a special "Meet the Zoo Friends" thing, but he was disappointed. I don't know what he was expecting really, but he wishes he had gone to swimming lessons instead. Normally he goes to Adventures in Learning about 30 minutes late, but since todays was a special and not at the normal place, he had to choose. Poor guy.

After that, we had to drive from Canton to Ogdensburg to go to Wal-Mart and Price Choppers. At Wal-Mart we had to buy soccer stuff (shin guards and a ball), clothes lines (because my last one broke and I had a hard time finding a new one, I picked up two), laundry detergent, blah blah blah blah.. oh and I bought soda there because it's like $2 cheaper than the grocery store.

The village is so small the local Wal-Mart isn't a supermarket! They have a small grocery section, but it doesn't carry much and I usually don't get anything there. I normally do my grocery shopping at Price Choppers - they're pretty good with deals. I like shopping there. I especially like the .90/gallon I'll save on my next tank of gas. Just have to find the gas station that has the deal with my grocery store.

It sucks that Price Choppers and Wal-Mart aren't in Canton though. Because Canton is where everything else is, since the boys go to school there. Oh well, what can you do?

My middle son, K, had summer pre-k. He seems to really enjoy it. He had a rough evening. I'm trying to just shower him with extra positive attention as we've been having issues. Sometimes I don't know what to do with him. He gets angry and says he "..wants to behave!" but he goes on doing the wrong things. He's 4, 5 in November, so it's not like he's a baby. But, he doesn't seem the same (maturity wise) as R did at his age.

My baby, S, is just the light. He makes me smile even when I feel like sitting down and crying. And seeing K & R with him makes the world seem perfect. Really, when they're all getting along, I want one more. When they're not... all I can think is wtf was I thinking having any? LOL

So that was my day. Suppose I'll do an "about us" post next.
