Today was hard to be as patient as I was able to yesterday.  Gavin just gets under my skin and I feel like I can't hold it in any longer.  He whines, cries, yells, screams, talks so rude to everyone constantly, and I won't even get into how he acts when he is in a bad mood.  I really feel like I can't take it any longer.  The other kids don't deserve to be treated the way he treats them and I feel like I am having to protect them constantly when he is around.  I wish he would just stop!!

Anyway, that was not a very uplifting opener.  Jace was able to get on the bus again this morning and things went pretty smooth.  Cosi was acting like a pill this morning.  I had to carry her on the bus as she whined about not wanting to go.  That was not like her at all.  Isabelle came and I went to teach dance and yoga.  I was happy to see that all the kids were back in the first class.  We have fun.  In yoga we did silly poses and I snapped a couple pics of them making a "Purple People Eater" at the end of class.  I love to see the kids enjoying class.  It is nice to get back into it and it is very nice to finally get paid from everyone in the class :).

We went to the dollar store today and Cosi went crazy.  Everything she saw she wanted "for her birthday" and put it in the cart.  It was not even just typical girly stuff, it was everything she could get her hands on, like napkins, plastic containers, halloween masks, etc.  I got some stuff for the boutique on Saturday.  I also got a few things to decorate the house because I wanted to see Gavin get excited when he came home.  I decorated the front door with decorative plastic.  I used masking tape to tape it to the door, so on the inside you could see the strips of masking tape.  So I made more strips, added eyes and a mouth and (tada) we have a mummy door!  Gavin was happy with it, but then started being rude to Cosi and Axton because he was terrified they were going to rip the stuff off the door and ruin it.

Gavin went to Cheer and Jace had a movie night at his school so Jolene and George took Cosi and Jace to his school.  It worked out great!  Tuesdays are hard to get the kids in bed since we have activities that are later in the evening.  Tomorrow I will get the opportunity to practice my patience again and I will do better :).  Jace brought home his first report card of the year.... Straight A's!!!  He is so awesome, yay!!  I love you, good night!!
