On Monday, it was a day to get things cleaned up around here... I took the online practice test for the drivers test knowledge questions and got 9/10 correct on the first try!!! I am soo excited... Now if I would've even attempted to even do a practice knowledge test for driving I wouldn't have been excited.... Chances are I wouldn't of even tried... So God has really been doing some work in that area... I've been trying to include learning activities into Avery's routine.... So far it isn't a success... He is sooo set in his ways... It's time to get him unset.... Just trying to adjust to life, it seems it shifts differently everyday... We worked on colors and shapes... He did okay, just after a few minutes though he was out of there... I can't keep his attention long enough to keep him engaged... Kindergarten is going to be fun....
Tuesday was a roller coaster of emotions but it was a fun day non the less... So I went and got Avery's hair cut, and then we went to go to the theater and we watched Madagascar 3... He did quite well... The volume was a bit loud at times but I helped him adjust by just talking to him... He really enjoyed the movie... He saw that everyone was coming in with drinks, popcorn, and other food stuff and told me he was hungry... I told him he would have to wait until we got home to eat... He was very happy with that response, so he was a little distant... I could see the disappointment in his face... Then a screen came up and said that you could get a small popcorn for $1.75... So I asked him if he would like some popcorn, he had the biggest grin on his face and replied "yes momma!" with sooo much excitement it made my heart melt... So I went and got a small popcorn and some water in cups.... When I got back Avery said "mommy we have what everyone else has!" In that moment I figured out something.... When you go places, weather it's the theater, or any place kids like to fit in even at the age of 5... Now that doesn't mean we go to the store and Johnny so and so is getting big toy so I get Avery a big toy... It don't work that way.... But I will get my son a small popcorn so he feels like he's not missing out...After we got home I noticed I got some sun... So I put some aloe vera medicine on it... Hey at least my face has some color now, lol... Tonight was a really hard night... Avery has been asking a lot of questions lately about his poppa... I don't have all the answers and I did my best to answer the ones that I did know... It triggered my feelings of loneliness and sadness... I miss my husband and I would like for something to happen where we will be able to at least talk on the phone... The only way that will happen is if he gets a job and gets his classes going... I know God has a plan and that I just need to continue focusing on Him and TRUSTING Him to get us through this...I sure pray that he gets a job soon so we can begin the reconciliation process... Today was a very special day, our cat Buddy turned 9 years old! So we sang him happy birthday and gave him some wet food and called it good... Below is a picture of our part bob cat Buddy....
Wednesday was a good day, I got two loads of laundry done, my workout for the day and some extra squats! I also made home made chicken tenders, tater rounds, and peas for Avery and I had home made loaded chicken and potatoes and a nice salad to go with it... It was really yummy! Avery and I played a game "go fish" he didn't like it... So we tried to work on his numbers and it just didn't work... I got a lot of great ideas from my friends on facebook!!! So I am going to try some of the ideas tomorrow... I like the idea of focusing on one number at a time... He seems to get overwhelmed when you give him more than a number or two... I think I am gonna do that with letters as well... Avery had a couple of melt downs but I set the boundaries and wouldn't let him cross them and when he did he dealt with the consequences... He is loving brushing together... He won't help me brush mine but he'll now let me help brush his... His doesn't want cavity bugs in his mouth, lol... So that is working out great! Transition was smooth tonight... I actually have him on a schedule that he is complying with... At 7:30pm is when he goes in and cleans up any mess he has in his room and puts all his toys away if there are some out in the living room he takes them in his bedroom... Then we go brush our teeth and wash our hands, then we go in his room say prayers and talk a little and then say our good nights and I shut off the light and close his door... I've been doing this for about 3 weeks now and it has helped a lot!!! The only time we have issues is when we are at events that go over his bedtime... So it's been a great day and very productive as well!!! Praying tomorrow will be another productive day as well... This heat though is brutal, it makes me not wanna do anything.... Well that's about it, have a great night, sweet dreams, and God bless you & yours..... <3
