I cannot believe how use to the kids going to school I have gotten... but I am definetely ready for them to go back to school!!!! I have enjoyed having them home for Christmas and have enjoyed being with them... but they are starting to get bored, which means torturing one another and ME!! We have been getting things done around the house, the kids have cleaned out their rooms, I have been throwing stuff away left and right and its really starting to make a difference. We are getting some couches this weekend so I am going to put the old one downstairs for the kids when they are down there. I have been taking down all the Christmas stuff and deep cleaning, and its been quite a chore!
Tomorrow is mine and hubby's 9th anniversary. We are planning on dinner, and who knows what else. It will be the first time that we have been out alone in a long time, the time alone will be good for us. Then we will go to my parent's for New Years Eve. Nothing special planned, just getting together with them. It will be nice once the kids get older and we can do things kid free for New Year's. But for now, we will keep it a family thing and include the kids and enjoy it with them. Then the kids go back to school on the 3rd!!! WHOHOOOOO!!!!! I think they are ready too. They enjoy the time with their friends and the structure of being in school. Plus, its back to activities for them! My older daughter has been missing her basketball and cannot wait for practices and games.
My older daughter has been to the chiropractor 6 times now, and I think we are slowly starting to see a change in her as far as her headaches go. She still has them, but has taken no meds in quite some time. We took her off her prescription drug a few months back and she was still pretty bad. Once in a while she would get some tylenol but now that she has been seeing the chiropractor she is barely taking that at all. She is still keeping a journal of her headaches, but I am seeing her writing in it less and less. So maybe we will not have to go to the Mayo Clinic after all. Its still over a month away, so we will see. We also have not altered her diet like the chiropractor has wanted us to, but we want to talk to a dietician first. It seems taking all milk products out of her diet is not good, but we will see. I am next on the list to see the chiropractor... that should be interesting! :o)
I hope that everyone has an excellent New Year. I hope that 2007 is much better than 2006 and that it is a healthy, happy one for all!!!
