"short" circus

Thought I would share what all is going on with the "short" Circus.
Kevin: Jr sucks. He's being bullied. But not all that bad. He still wants to go to school, just not the school he is enrolled in. Why? Because Keith works there. Today the kids went too far and broke his glasses in his back-pack. Now I has to step in. Let's just say that mama bear is not happy. It will be handle my way. Planning to meet with someone there next week.
Walter: He wants to be Shark Boy. If you don't know who that is, go an rent the movie, Adventure of Shark Boy & Lava Girl. He is doing good in school. He was best in class Wednesday. I an not sure of the logic of a 9 year old ADHD boy, or even if there is any. But this was my day with him today.
I went to pick him up @ school, and of course, T & E decided to pooh right as it was time to leave. I change them and rush over to the school, to run to the bus as it pulls away. I run back to the car w/ T&E sleeping and drive after the bus. I stocked the bus to the first stop and run up to it as it started to pull away, only this time it stopped and I retrieved Walter from it. Take him to the DR so we can get his meds for ADHD. They go to weigh him and he starts to empty his pockets. Pencil, eraser and chocolate milk bladder. Yes milk. From his lunch. He was saving it. He has had it in him pocket for 2 1/2 hours. What ever happened to milk in a carton? Where was I when it turned in to a bag of milk?? So, yes milk in his pocket. We get the meds and Papa or Uncle Keith as Thomas like to now calls him, calls and informs me of the glasses incident at school. So we go to meet at the Eye Drs. Switch of the kids & get the glasses fixed. Simple right. Not when a member of the Short Family is involved. (Please note the Family & Circus are interchangeable) Eye Drs office is closed. Emily is hungry. So while in the parking lot, I figure, I feed her as the circus clowns pile out of my car and into the van. W & T get in the van. Papa & I sit in the car while I top off E. E likes her papa and proceeds to smile big while stretching my nipple as far as humanly possible. Which in my case is pretty far. Well, as this is happening Walter decided that his now 31/2 hour old chocolate milk bladder, been in his pocket most of the day was ready to drink. So he rips of a corner and chugs away. Then throw the bag on the floor of the van. I go to kiss everyone bye bye and see foretold bag on the floor. While T tells me he wants milk too, like Walters. Choking back my lunch, let's just say the natural consequence of drinking warm milk should be enough punishment. Hopefully I don't have to clean it up when I get home tonight. With that being said, lets move on to the member.
Thomas: Gotta love this little guy. He is at that stage where he repeats the last part of what you just said. You start to think that this guy knows what his is talking about. And then you realize, he is just coping you. For example today when we where getting ready to go, I told T that it was time to get dressed and go bye bye. T said: "Dressed and go bye bye." Me: "Yes!" Okay so this is where I think all is good and we are going to make progress. I proceed o approach this guy, clothes in hand and he runs away, "no dress mama, no bye bye, watch movie!" down the hallway. After tackling him and wrestling him dressed, he thinks going bye bye is okay now. E is next.
Emily: E is getting way big way too fast. Still petite, she is growing. We have tooth number 1 with number 2 following close behind. She crawls, she cruises and she is fast!! She likes to pull herself up and stand right behind me as I do the dishes. She likes to eat cherrios, cat food and string cheese. She growing up way too fast!! She is so cute with her bling bling earrings. She is still working on hair so the earrings help you decide that she is a she. She is papas girl. She just love him. She like to squirm. Especially when I am in a hurry to change her diaper or clothes. Or while nursing. I think this baby believe that my nipples are made of elastic rubber. Made just for her and her enjoyment. She has been caught pinching me. Talk about the "Nipples". This kid puts Jayne to shame. She has a good idea of how to pinch and she is not afraid to to it.
Keith: He is having a rough year with all 120 kids he has this year. He had stated to apply for other school district. Hopefully he'll find some thing and it will pay better. He is doing the 'Biggest Loser" at work, he is ahead 25lbs. All women can attest that men can do this, he just went to the bathroom and came out 25 pounds lighter!
Me: Work sucks. I can wait until I can do my real job. We ran out of work, so I have been doing clerical for what seems like forever. If I never see another file and get another paper cut again I could live a happy life. The ice machine was broke all week at work, which means that work was long and I had no ice to eat! I have this ice thing since E. I can't seem to get enough ice. I fill my cup up at least 3 times a night. I have been having ice withdraws.
TGIF!! I will sleep in tomorrow. I will I WILL I WILL!!! Then I'll tackle the house work.
Those are my big weekend plans. Maybe look at my email at home, since I have not done it in like a week. E will be nine months Sunday. Boy has the time flown by. I miss having a little baby in the house. Maybe one more. Not sure how soon. In my perfect world, maybe this time next year. Let's see what God has planned, be for I go off naming my next baby boy. We will definitely need to buy a new van if that is the case.
Well, it is time to leave work and join the circus! Have a lovely weekend!

That "What If" sounds pretty good. Call me!!!

Quick:
The Fair was fun. The circus had a fun time. They are still talking about it. Everyone is doing good. Slowly the boxes are disappearing. Finding all the stuff I thought I lost. Still missing Larry boy, T is missing him. E is growing. We have our first tooth! Her breastfeeding days are numbered. She likes to see how far mamma's nipples can stretch. It is always more fun to chomp a little before drinking. If some talks, walks in to the room or looks at her, she must turn her head, full and all and see who it is. I think that my nipples are made out of rubber. Will someone please tell E that they are not! She does not believe me. E is also a little adventurer. Her new found mobility takes her anywhere she sees fit to travel, from room to room, level to level and right out the front door! Looking forward to Friday, it is one day closer to Saturday! Looking forward to November 11th! Paid Holiday!!
random information: When you have babies you seem to get on their schedule for everything. Eating, sleeping, napping and pooping!!

I feel like I am on auto pilot. Day in & day out. I always feet tired. I am always catching myself dozing off. I feel like I never get anything done. I feel like I pull a triple shift. I start at 6am-getting everyone up and off to school. I go back to sleep until my Thomas alarm goes off at about 8am. ( E is a good morning sleeper!) "wake up mama, wake up!" Over & over. If I hit snooze, I get, "hungry mama, hungry." Who can ignore a child's plea for food. So the 2 ring circus is under way. I try to get the house done. Mostly the dishes are the only thing I every really get done. We play, shop, clean & do laundry. By 230pm or so, the 3 ring circus starts. By 4pm I am off to my second shift. I relax at work. It is super slow right now! I am home by 130am. Just in time to punch in for the third shift. Pick up as I walk to the bedroom to remove all the babies on my side of the bed. Start laundry, & dishes. Pick up here & there. Shower and night night I go, with very little resistance by 3am. By 6am the 4 ring circus starts again. Really it is not so bad. You kind of get used to it. On weekends, well the last few have been NUTS!!! With moving and Kevin taking off for 2 days & 2 nights. I am really looking forward to this weekend. Just hanging out at home, doing stuff. No plans, nothing pressing. I am off work on Monday :) Some silly holiday. We are planning to take our 4 ring circus to the Fresno Fair Monday afternoon. Hope it fun. Will update you!
