TGIF

Wow! This week went by so slow. Work was crazy! We had to fire a driver so the other drivers are picking up his stops which makes them all come in at least an hour later. So when Im scheduled to get off at 4:30 I have been staying till 5 all week. And I get paid salary so no over time for miss Ashley. Im exhausted. This semester has been a challenge and Im hoping I get into a groove with this homework thing or Im going to really struggle. Caleb spent the day with his step-mom(ugh, still not used to that word) today. She has fridays off and since I work I figured at least it saves me money on daycare for Caleb. Plus he really enjoys hanging out with her son Gabe. They are only 7 months apart. She took them to this place in Post Falls called Bounce and Party. It is basically a bunch of those bouncy houses in one big building. They had a lot of fun. I met her there to pick Caleb up and it went well. It feels good not wanting to punch her in the face every time I see her. I think after 2 years Im finally over the hurt. At least enough for me me to be civil. We are not friends by any means, but Im making progress. I guess when you hit rock bottom emotionally the only way you can go is up right? When Caleb and I got home we played Go Fish (he is such a cheater). Then we put a Toy Story 3 puzzle together. He gets so frustrated when he cant do something. Im trying to get him to calm down and relax when he feels frustrated but I think he is doomed to have his mothers temper. After the puzzle he found some addition flash cards that I bought him for Christmas. He wanted to try but he just wasnt getting it. He is only three maybe addition is a little too much for him right now. Maybe we will focus on learning to read first. I bought him two books at Kohls by Eric Carle. He is really liking them right now. So glad I have kept up on reading to him every night before bed. He is pretty advanced for his age, that makes me feel good about myself as a single mom. Now the precious angel is in bed and I can finally get some homework done. So happy this week is over and I can concentrate on school and Caleb for a few days.
