exhausting, long and emotional days....

Well for starters... I'm tired. Physically and emotionally. The renters moved out of my dads rental property and left it a mess. Him and I have spent the last two days organizing and executing a plan of attack. And we are in full swing of attack mode. Luckily it's less labor work for us than originally thought but it is still alot. But, it's also going to hit my dads wallet harder than it should have. People should never live in such filth and allow their children to run uncontrolled. Okay, enough about that. Today When Kaytlin came out of her door at school she said I had to wait and talk to her Teacher. At first I thought she was in trouble but as it turns out her teacher feels the work thats being taught is too easy for her. She had been testing them in different areas to find out what level they are at. When leaving first grade you have to know how to spell certain words. Kaytlin was asked to spell these words on a test and she spelled them all correctly except for two and then she was upset for having missed them. The teacher then had to explain that it was okay and that she didn't need to know these words until the end of the year. Also the teacher feels her reading skills are to high for this class. She told me we should consider having her skip a grade but the teacher wants to do more testing on her before that idea is approached. Offering her more work and putting her in a excelerated reading program may also be options to. She wants to discuss it more in depth in a few weeks after she's tested her more. The teacher wanted to talk to me about this now because Kaytlin has been finishing her work a lot quicker than the other kids and just sits around being bored, and the teacher didn't want me to get too concerned if Kaytling started coming home saying how boring school was..........and this is coming from the child who was born to soon. We were told from the very begining (while still in NICU) that she would more than likly have learning disabilities and be very slow in her cognitive developement and physical developement. She's an amazing soccer player and a very intelligent child. Instead of being delayed she's proven to be an above-normal, sweet, loving, inspirational daughter of our heavenly father. I have teared up so many times today, including now. And Isaac is the most sweetest, loving and giving son ever. I have been blessed with an incredible family. Wow. Wow. Wow. So many times over the past six years I have wondered whether me being a stay at home mom has been worth it. I have doubted my abilities in being a good mom. I have thought that I'm not making a difference. That maybe daycare would have been better for them. I could be working and we'd be better off financially. I would have more of my sanity. Has the last six years being home with my children really been worth it??? YES!!! one-hundred percent worth it!!!! Today was proof that my babies have not been corrupted by having me as their mother. I'm sure I'll be blamed for something in therapy one day, but right now I am so thankful to my husband and heavenly father for giving me the chance to do this. I truly thought I would never be able to have children. Nevertheless two!! And they are wonderful. Thank you Josh for having the same beliefs I do. Thank you for making it so I can be here and not have to work. Thank you for supporting me and helping to raise our children. Thank you for being an amazing father to them. Thank you for being the husband you are. You are perfect to me...even your snoring. Okay, no more emotional leakage for now. It always leaves me drained and I'm already tired. Good night.
