A cold night

Last night while shivering foolishly on the porch, I couldn't sleep well. So, tonight I plan to take some sleeping pills and cozy up in Ethan's bed.  Taking advantage of his absence while he visits his dad. 

Today we went to Pollard School here in Plaistow.  The principal was very nice and very laid back.  Ethan seemed to like her enough and seemed to be enjoying his visit to all the rooms in the school.  However at the end of the tour, Ethan said firmly that he still wants to be homeschooled.  He said it in front of me, Eric and the principal.  Not that I blame him.  What was even more shocking was when Eric said while we were driving home that "school is school no matter where it is".  He floored me when he said that.  I had to thank him for his support and understanding with everything and he went on to say, "well, we are his parents and I think we know what's best for our son."  :)

Anyways, it made my whole day knowing that I no longer have to fear sticking Ethan back in the public school.  Knowing Eric will support not only me but his son. FINALLY!!!  ::Sighs:: now I can order his new curriculum with an eased mind.

PS.  Did I mention how cold it is??? brrrrrr

On second thought

On second thought....I feel like writing.  I'm not using the best keyboard and that's a little of why I'm not enjoying typing as I usually do.  My tummy is not the best either at the moment which isn't helping matters.  I joined a gym last week, not that I've attended once since joining.  I guess that's kinda pointless.  Then again, if my car didn't have a flat tire and if it didn't need the power steering fixed on it, I'd be able to go.  But even though I need to get that done, and I need to start looking for a new place to live, I still want my laptop come the 1st of February.  First, I hate this computer that I'm on.  It's just awful, not to mention it's not mine.  I also want to get my license switched over to NH, but worry that if I do move soon, which I think is fairly doubtful, that means having to change the address..... ::Sighs:: again.  Then I also need a new cell phone. I am waiting for the cutest ever Strawberry Shortcake case for it to protect it.   Having the blackberry and having to use it does nothing but remind me of him. So, I really want that taken care of. 

I need to order both the kids homeschool books.  I'm sick of not having a curriculum for Ethan.  And Aiden will be done with his work VERY soon and then will have nothing.   I need to get Ethan tested, and Aiden actually.  Dying to do this to be honest.   But it all costs money,....something that is very hard to come by in this house.   Once I get my laptop and my cell phone, and once I get my car fixed then it'll be MUCH easier to look for a place to live.  For now, I stay here, dealing with well... everything.   Nearly midnight again, so annoying.  My head is so ichy because of the cheap shampoo and conditioner we have.  It dries out my scalp something awful.  But when you don't have it... and when you're trying to save... you do what you have to and suffer through it.

Is it February yet? Only 2 weeks and one day!! Yippee!!

Take a breath

Despite starting over, or at least trying to, I don't feel like I've changed.  Actually, I feel pretty numb at the moment. Maybe I just need to sleep on it and write another day.
