today was very slow....and i woke up not at 6:30 like i had wanted to...so i could wake the kids up to prepare for back to school Thursday...instead i slept till 8...and then woke them up...either way...they still woke up 2 hours earlier than what theyve been getting up at...the rest of the day passed by like in slow motion...until i realized i had forgotten to take my meds...yes i have also begun the slow road towards medicating my adhd...and its been so productive...actually finishing tasks all by my lil self...i have begun to declutter the house...and organize myself and children...its been awesome...its funny when i forget though...i know that something is missing but i cant quite put my finger on it...

so most of the day was spent watching Love and Logic tapes by jim fay...how to be a loving parent that uses logic in discipling their children....too easy right?...you should totally look this up...its been great...making kids responsible for their choices...omg...what a concept...then alex turned on the history channel and we got caught up with the tale of civil war...and lincoln's assassination...very hypnotic...i only got grossed out when i was trying to eat my foccia bread and olive oil dipping sauce...only to look up at the tv and see amputees...and other soldiers with missing appendages...not a happy sight...

the best part of my day?...practice!...i led practice for the 2nd time this week...i hope everyone enjoyed it...i tried to make it as diverse as possible mix it up a little bit...our coach is out of town for the holidays...so i was asked to take over in her absence...very humbling and a lot more stressful than i initially thought...i'll be glad when she gets back...

and to top the night off right...a glass of wine and steak...yummm...especially since it was ready and waiting for me when i got home...never mind that i prepared it all...drew broiled it just right...i put the kids to bed...much to their dismay...and snuggled up on my bed to watch....wife swap...it was silly tonight...a homeschooling frumpy mom and a frumpy looking beauty pageant mom switch homes...geeee big suprise of what happenes next...then it was two episodes of Supernanny...i must find out how much of that show is scripted and how much is really true...just so curious...but i love a lot of the ideas they come up with....i just wish they would do more follow up for these families...it seems almost cruel that they intrude on these people with such emotional and sometimes physical problems...hang out with them for only a week and then leave them....what about counseling?...what do they fall back on when they get frustrated or things arent working out...parenting is never perfect...ahh well...i'm tired now...that steak is putting me to sleep....night
