I thought we would get over everything, boy was I wrong. RaKelle finally got better and then Ashlyn came down with croup, and Braxton got strep, and that same day RaKelle came home from school with the stomach flu and missed the last 2 days of school, I got a little bit of the stomach flu but it only lasted 1 day, thank goodness. I am so thankful that Jaren has not been sick. I had a horrible cold but I am much better. I thought maybe we were in the clear and then Braxton woke up with Pink Eye. Now hopefully we will be done and enjoy our summer.
I have enjoyed being home so far this summer, I was not allowed any hours this summer and I was praying that I would get to work at the school again in the fall. I got a call on Monday asking if I would be willing to come back and work as a k-3 classroom aid! yeah I can't tell you what a relief that is for me to know that I will have a job again when school starts.
RaKelle is still really struggling with life but she is able to tell me when she needs to talk and she is very open with me and their new counselor is really good and they like him except for, Braxton is having a hard time with the change but I think when they build up their trust he will be fine with him.
We were able to go to the Sweets candy factory for a free tour and it was so much fun and it was really cool to see how they make the delicious candy that we eat! Jaren loved it and he didn't complain one time which is different for him, he usually complains about everything. They gave samples of a lot of different candies and they were all so nice. I hope that we can do some more tours this summer, at different places. We have kept ourselves very busy so far we haven't had a chance to even sit down and relax, but it is fun. I am trying to get my house completely clean and go through everything but spending time with the kids is a lot more fun so we do a little bit each day before we go do other things so it will get there but who knows when.
The aide coming in 3 days a week for about an hour for now is wonderful, I have really enjoyed getting to know her and she is really fun. She is good with Jaren and if he doesn't want to shower and things she says ok we will just sit and talk or play nintendo and then she comes back 2 days later and he gets in and she helps him shave and he is doing so much better now that he is clean most of the week, he won't always change his clothes but that's ok, that is not a fight I choose to have so I just let him wear whatever he wants. He still enjoys going to the center and now that it is summer I get to spend the entire day with just the kids and we don't have to worry about Jaren staying home alone, or having to come home and check on him.
Hopefully now I can say that we are done with illness for awhile and we can enjoy the rest of our summer!!
