My life & my trio.....

Wow its been months since an update. Many mornings I get up get the kids breakfast make myself some green tea tell myself I need to sit down & write & then I search EBAY or read everything else others have to say & completely blow off writing. We have had a super mellow summer & its hard to believe that it is going to be coming to an end soon. UGH! as HOT as it has been I don't know if I am ready for the cold & all the nasty germs winter brings. Being a germ phobe can really be a bummer. The kids start preschool on Sept. 6th. They will go mon-wed-fri from 8:45 to noon. It isn't your typical preschool. It is actually at a womans house in her garage that she has completely converted into a school room. She was a teacher prio to having her own children & decided 12 years ago to open her own preschool at home. She only has 8 children & her curriculum (sp?) is great. The price isn't bad either. There is a downside, she only had two spots left which means that only two will be going. Since her school year mimics the regular school year there is nine months so we decided that D & R would go together for the first 3 months then I would pull R out & put M in then after those three months pull D out & put R back in. They will each get 6 months total. It will also allow me some much needed one on one time with my kids. They have been very difficult lately & it is been very trying. I feel like I am constantly being told NO. When you are out numbered it sucks. My girls have very strong personalities (like me..lol) and they don't back down. They still make me & S laugh everyday with the things they say. The other day R saw a lady running down our street & asked me if she was running to go find new kids. It cracked me up... I also had some french rolls up in a basket that went moldy I was saying what a bummer & R chimmed in asking me if the bagels turned into hotdogs. I guess because the french rolls are long and skinny & the bagels are usually in that basket it looked that way to her. Thank God for the laughter.... We have been going to the beach a lot on the weekends for the past few months. My kids have become very comfortable with the ocean & are little beach bums. They love collecting shells, playing in the sand & jumping the waves. Its always a good time for all of us. We spent this past weekend up at Grammy T's cabin in Lake Arrowhead & had a good time. The kids loved the boat thought it was so cool when we went fast. Of course they all got to drive the boat on Uncle B's lap. We have fortunatley stayed virus free this summer only a small cold that lasted only a few days. I HATE sickies. I even took my kids to Chucky Cheese for a birthday party for their cousin & I swore I would never go there. Of course we did have a week long scare after it because it turns out one of the kids at the party had lice. I was so pissed but what can you do right.... Thankfully we never got it...whewwwwwwww! My Mom is coming for a visit on the 31st of this month for a two week visit. I am so looking forward to this. I miss her a lot. She does drive me a bit nuts but doesn't every parent. S & I got tickets to see the Foo Fighters on the same day my Mom arrives I am sooooooooo looking forward to that. We also got tickets to see James Blunt in Nov. our triplet friends D & D got some too so that will be GREAT to spend an evening with them. S & I use to go to concerts all the time before the kids were born. Some people go to movies we went to concerts. Its our only time to have date night now. I know that I have tons more to say but life escapes me at this moment. Ciao for now....
