DRAMA-DRAMA-DRAMA-

I don't understand why this Generation of kids have so much "Drama" nothing is simple for these kids. Cassandra stayed home today from work because she has been sick for the last couple of days,a virus of some kind and she can't keep anything down. So coming home today I picked up Ayden from daycare (I brought him to daycare so Cassandra could sleep in)and on the way home I was thinking that she was home all day and the house would be a mess...MUCH TO MY SURPRISE Cassandra had cleaned the house top to bottom, swept the floors, washed the glass tables, did the dishes, cleaned both her and my bathrooms, Ayden and her room look immaculate (She knows not to touch my room, because it's always clean) and she started a load of laundry. I could not believe my eyes. I told her what a wonderful job she did and I was so proud of her. She said she could not just sit around even though she was sick she had to move around. Cassandra is so use to being "on the go" with her 9 hours of work each day and on top of that she has School 4 days a week from 7-10:30. So I was really impressed. She had to go to School tonight to take a exam she was not looking forward to taking. All seemed well, then the phone rang at 8:15pm a hysterical Cassandra called me crying that she had failed her test and the way she was acting was like the world was coming to a end. I told her ( I yelled) to come home and we could talk about it but to stop crying. Once she came home she told me that it was her Physic's class, the one class that she was not "Tops" in..O.K Let's Fix it..and we did. It turns out the only way to take the class over is to take 5 weeks off from work in January because this course is only in the day during the week. I told her it's the best time to take off, holidays are over and she gets a large check from the IRS Every year so that would cover her daycare bill, etc. She also has some PTO Accrued and by them more will have accrued..so see things work out when you attack it calmly. Yes we all get upset like that but it's never "ALWAYS" Drama Drama Drama.
Cassandra is a special girl and the love of my life BUT She is also the biggest Drama Queen we know..(Anne can attest to that) So one moment I want to hug her to death and the next I want to Shake her....DRAMA-DRAMA-DRAMA-.... This is My Life..

Enjoying a Night Off-

Tonight my daughter took a night off from school to study for her exams on Thursday & Friday. An unexpected night off from babysitting Ayden is so nice, not that I don't love him to death, but because I didn't have to fight with him at Bedtime. The person who enjoyed it was 'My Bailey" as you can see in the picture he is able to relax with me on my bed. He just loves being alone with me because Ayden just drives him crazy, pulling at him, screaming in his face, pushing him and much more... so we have had peace...of course Ayden went right sleep, for his "Mama"

of course...................

Happy Grandparents (Gigi) Day

Today I received a card and some gifts from my Grandson Ayden along with a big Hug for what he called "Gigi Day". This day is something that started around the time Cassandra was born and for me and Cassandra it was a very important day because I would not be here if wasn't for their help with Cassandra. My mom said once it was like raising another daughter and she was so right,she called them Grandma and Grandpa but Cassandra looked up to my dad as her dad and my mom as another mom. I know that their relationship was so special and that Cassandra would never be as loved as she was loved by them (Me as well). I hope I can help Cassandra with Ayden as well as they helped me with her. So, today Cassandra asked me what I wanted to do? Dinner, Lunch? I said "Peace and Quiet" She laughed and took Ayden to her boyfriends house to watch the Game...So right now I am going to clean up a little then take a nap and then get a nice cup of coffee and search the TV for something good- PEACE!
