Day 30 of 31 for 21 - Am I the only adult?

I swear sometime I think I am the only adult in this house! Every night we turn the tv off at 8:30 so the kids have to read for their 30 mins which is part of their homework. For the past week I have been making the tv go off at 8 because Allyson cannot seem to get with the program and has not been doing her reading or her reading log. Well tonight Tom decided to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show on tv. Well 1) that show is not appropriate for all the kids to watch and 2) he decided it was more important to watch that then to make sure the kids had their reading time. I swear sometime he is worse than the kids! So once again the teacher will call me to let me know how I fucked up by not making sure Allyson did her work because ONCE again Allyson did not do her homework this week. As though I really have control over that. I make her sit and she does NOTHING. I am NOT going to do her homework for her. I do not even know why I try. If she wants to fail then by all means fail but in the end it will not be my fault! I refuse to allow her failure and lack of trying to be my failure cause you know when it comes down to it the other 3 kids with homework are A students so if she lacks the effort then it is on her because I must be doing something right if MY 3 students are all A students don't you think?

Back to being the only adult, since when is Family Guy and American Dad ect acceptable shows for 5-10 year olds to watch?? UUUGGGHHHH! I wanna scream!

Day 29 of 31 for 21 - What a day..

Well I spent the day finding a new dr. I have an appt tomorrow with him. I hope i like him and the good news is that he delivers all his patients. A rare thing these days. While trying to clean up Caden came running down the hall and slipped onto his back in a puddle of water. I had ro search to find the source of the 1/2" pool of water flooding my hallway. After wading thru the water I discovered it was my washing machine so now when Tom gets home we have to pull out the washer and dryer and figure out what on the washer broke. On the other hand 7 beach towwels later my hall floor is as clean as the day we moved in! Having the washer flood is one way to get your hall cleaned but I do not suggest it. Now I have to call the insurance as I am sure the flood was not good on the pergo!

Ok now for the flashback portion of our blog, I found these pics while cleaning the other night..

Day 28 of 31 for 21 - I must have 15 different diseases!

WARNING do not research what ifs on the Internet. I have found out that there is such a thing as too much information! According to the Internet I have any Number of things wrong with me! LOL. If you are tired you may have depression, or Leukemia or some other god awful disease! You ever watched those commercials that start off like, Are you Tired? Do you have a headache? Do your feet hurt? They you too may have (insert disease here). Ask your Dr if you have ever felt nauseated, sleep deprived or restless, you may be suffering from (insert other disease here.) The Internet I think has too much information at times. I went looking up Fetal arrhythmia. Well that was NOT a good thing since it basically took me from nothing wrong, goes away to certian death of neonate. Ok so I closed the computer and I think I will just wait to see what the dr says. Oh speaking of drs my U/s and Echo of 10's heart has been changed from the 10th to the 7th.. As for now I think I will stop looking up the what ifs and be happy she is ok right now..
Ok so what do any of you think of the names, Solange?(means Angel of the sun) or Lyric?
