OMG, i swear tonight my daughters are driving me crazy, lol. My two year old is grumpy grumpy, and extremely easily aggitated. She's teething too, which doesn't help. And she must be hitting another growth spurt, because she thinks she's STARVING all day long!!! And my almost 7 year old is once again fighting with her homework. Which is frustrating, because only yesterday she came right home and finished it really fast. It was great. Today, not so much. She came in and had done all of her spelling homework, and when i asked her to redo ONE word, she errased the ENTIRE PAGE, and started over. And of course, the second time around, it's taken her ten times as long as the first time. So freaking peeved about that. She's driving me crazy with the random mix of emotions about school and homework and all that jazz. She will be FINE one day, walking into class without so much as a glance back at me and a huge smile on her face. And the very next day she has to FIGHT to get in the door of her classroom because she's clinging to me and crying. I don't know what to do. It is so frustrating.
Today i went out and cleaned again at Brita's house on base. I'm starting to really like cleaning out there, especially now that i know the things that she for sure wants done. It still takes me about 4 hours to get it done, but i honestly doubt it will take that long the longer i go out there. I will remember the things that make specific things easier, like sos pads for the stove, and magic erasers for the marks on the walls and counters. Once i actually remember to bring those things with me, lol, it won't take as long to scrub those things down. And the wipeing and vaccuming and stuff like that doesn't take that long. It's mostly moving the stuff out of the way to do that, and that doesn't take long at all. Today it took me 4 hours, and i made 60 dollars for it. So i made 15 dollars an hour. Not too shabby, if you ask me. That's about how much i'd get paid to go clean for some other company, and this way i can make it work for ME too. I enjoy it. i'd like to find somewhere else to go clean too. That little extra money would be really great, ya know? I guess i'll just need to start hitting business and stuff with my business cards and see what comes of it. It's not like we NEED that money, but it is NICE to have right now. Hopefully things start to work in our favor, and we get my settlement back soon(ish) and we can pay off some bills, and set some money back, and stuff like that. I guess we will just see what happens. I've got to get my paperwork out to the DHS and the Lawyers office tomorrow so we don't end up going without, or missing a deadline. So that's gotta be done tomorrow.
And then, hopefully we are gonna be able to take a walk tomorrow. It's supposed to be cooler. But the question that's gonna matter most in the walk, is going to be rather or not it's raining. I guess we will see what happens. I know we need to pick up another gallon of milk, and Ivy's cake mix for Saturday. I bought the decorations for the cake today, so we will have that already. So Saturday morning i've got to get up and get that cake finished. It's gonna be a round. But instead of it being to full rounds stacked on top of each other, I am going to cut the top round in half and stack them on top of each other. Hopefully it will work out right, because i would hate for it to fall apart. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens. But i'm gonna do that, then ice it, then decorate it with the tinkerbell stuff i bought today. I'll post pics on my other sites if it works the way it is supposed to.
For now, i'm gonna go eat, and watch tv, and relax for a little bit. Ruben's getting up LATE because he didn't go to bed until 2pm. that means, for him to get enough sleep, i need to let him sleep until AT LEAST 8:30. So i've got another hour at least before i have to wake him up. Time to chill out, because i know it's gonna be a struggle, and i REALLY don't want to have a FIGHT with him when i wake him up, ya know? So yea, laters.
