Kirsten is leaving

She decided to move back in with her mom. I am not happy about it but there is nothing I can do about it.

We still have her birthday trip to six flags planned for the 19th so that will be good. Not sure what is going to happen after that. Kylea is very upset about the whole situation. But then again she is not the best with change.

She is already missing school but it is not up to her mom to make sure she goes. And with only 2 years left of high school she should be able to see her through it.

School has started

The mornings are crazy around my house. I can't get to work on time and it is annoying. I hope by the end of this month to have things in routine again.

I think Kirsten is moving back in with her mom. At least that is what she said, but she has not come by to get her things yet. Not to mention one week with her mom and she has already missed 3 classes on 2 different days. But what can I do except nothing.

I hope to have some pictures up from the all girls tubing trip soon.

HPV Vaccination

I found this on the CDC website.

http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaers/gardasil.htm

This is why I still will not allow my daughter to get the shot. I still think there is a connection.

As of June 1, 2009, there have been 43 U.S. reports of death among females who have received the vaccine. Twenty six of these reports have been confirmed, 9 are still under investigation, and 8 remain unconfirmed due to no identifiable patient information in the report such as a name and contact information to confirm the report. Confirmed reports are those that scientists have followed up on and have verified the claim. In the 26 reports confirmed, there was no unusual pattern or clustering to the deaths that would suggest that they were caused by the vaccine.

Long car rides

How do you make a long car trip better for a kid?

You teach them to blow bubbles with gum!!!

Been awhile

since I posted last.

Kirsten has extended her visit to her Dad's until 8/7/09. Nice long visit and well over due since she has not seen him in like 3 years.

Kylea has been helping babysit at our house and at others. Nothing to much exciting for her this summer.

Devin is away right now. Three week with his dad, most of it in OK visiting family. Now his three weeks with me will be all visiting other people. He is in Uvalde right now with Shonna and next week he will be in Port Lavaca with my mom.

Natalea has not had her schedule changed at all this summer. But we did get her enrolled in Devin's school for next year!!!

That is all on the kids for now. I am going to try to keep up with this more. But we will see.

Summer update

Real quick

Next year we will have Kirsten in 10th grade, Kylea in 8th, Devin in 3rd and Natalea in K. Not to mention Shawn will be on his last year of school too.

I took Kirsten to the airport this morning to go to her Dad's for a couple weeks. I have to go back to the airport this afternoon to pick up Kylea's friend who is going to be staying with us for about 6 weeks.

Now to juggle all the family visit I want the kids to do this year.

Ask Shawn

That gets said a lot around my house. Even more so now that Shawn actually moved in.

But he is my -

handyman

computer geek

spell check

tech guy

fixer of all this electronic and my car

he also knows a ton about a lot of random stuff

and can help with homework for all the kids.

So everyone goes to mom, and if I don't know about it (see above list) I always say "go ask Shawn".

It is so nice having him around!
