I haven't really been around. I haven't been online much or anything. We are dealing with kid issues and having to completely change the way they are disciplined as they think everything we do right now is a joke. We are switching over to allowances that will be paid in quarters and they will lose quarters for everything they do that is a big time no no. I.E.
hitting, kicking, biting, trashing room, getting into the fridge, soaking the entire bathroom, shredding toilet paper, etc. But they will also be allowed to earn quarters back or even exceed their allowance for doing really good things. I.E.
helping sibling out, putting away toys, putting away clothes, putting away shoes, not sucking thumb, etc. I am at my wits end with them. Since they have figured out all the baby proofing stuff, I don't really know what my options are. They act out when things don't go the way they want and they also act out when their schedule is changed. I get that they are 5 and 3 but it is absolutely unbelievable the damage they are trying to inflict. Their passes to Oceans of Fun are in jeopardy. We are going to get a membership to Splash Cove and then they have until July 18th to prove to me that they really are good enough for Oceans of Fun. If not, they get to wait a year and try again. I am not going to take away all the pools because that is more of a punishment to me than them. If anyone has any other ideas on stuff to do, please let me know.
It, right now, doesn't matter if I am awake or asleep, they just can't seem to do anything constructive unless I am spending money on them taking them out or watching them every second of the day. I actually had to sit them on the bed a couple days ago while I went to the bathroom because if I left them alone, they would
raid my stuff. I just can't understand where it is coming from.
The other big thing going on is my work. Most people know that I am now working 5 nights a week. I am hoping that this will get everything caught up, but right now all that money is going to replace things and fix
damages in the apartment. We had a HUGE shake up yesterday at work and I am kind of freaked out about. 3 managers have been suspended indefinitely and no, I have absolutely NO idea what is going on. I am hoping that they will be back after an investigation, but I don't know. I already miss them greatly as one of them was one I could talk to about anything and she had my back. In fact, she had everyone's back in the hotel. We have a required meeting on Sunday that was scheduled before the shake up, but now I am not really sure what is all going to go on with that. My boss is now being trained on how to open and close the store as she will be helping manage the store along with being the Hotel Manager! It is going to tax her to the limit and I have absolutely no intention of bringing any issues to her from the hotel unless it is serious.
I am plugging away on cross-stitch right now. I have 5 projects actively
going and 2 that will be starting
by September. Johnny is getting caught up in his vet care (nothing wrong, just getting shots updated, neutering done, etc.). Peanut has about 8 weeks until school starts and we will start shopping for her school supplies in a couple weeks. I figure if I buy a little on each paycheck, I won't have to deal with the whole Wal-Mart rush! I am thinking about putting Bullfrog in cooking classes or something this fall. He wants to do sports, but since he isn't 4 yet, it is really rough.
Anyway, that is what is going on with us right now.
