slightly sunny

It's been raining too much lately--at least for my taste. The frequent thunderstorms have made it a bit more interesting than just steady rain, but I'm tired of it all. I think that even my plants are sick of the saturated ground.

Last night two of my little bro's graduated! It was exciting and happy and sad. Life flies by so fast once you graduate high school..or it did for me. I can't believe the little kids I used to babysit are all grown up and graduated. I hope for the best for all of them. I hope they don't have to go through too many trials to grow up and mature. I had to go through my share--not to say I didn't put myself there. Life is hard, it seems easier to accept now that I am getting older though. I will be 25 in a few weeks...as in less than 2. I guess it will feel like tomorrow that the classes of 2023 and 2025 are graduating and I am watching my babies turn into adults instantaneously.
My husband graduated college last month. Not sure if I put that on here. He is so amazing to be able to do an accelerated course and work full time and still have time to be a dad. His grades were amazing too.

Speaking of him. I received my birthday present from him early this year. A camera..and it shoots great video..so I'll be putting more things on here eventually!

I have been giving a lot of thought to which school I will put Asa in for kindergarten. I have contemplated homeschooling too, but at this point I am going to try out the charter school(if we can get in) and see how it goes. I can always home school if public school doesn't work out for us! We have been doing preschool at home though. He loves learning about letters and really picks stuff up well! After just a few weeks of going over a few letters, he picks them out of whatever sign or book or anything he see's which has letters on it! He is also obsessed with marine life. He could tell more proper names of fish than I could. He knows facts about them too. I really want to take him to the Baltimore Aquarium, I know he would love it!

I had Evie to the doctors the other day because of her incessant cold/sinus infection. I was sure they'd give her an anti-biotic...which they did not. They did however say that she was wheezing and prescribed some albuterol for her to take in the nebulizer. The doctor said that she would probably use it again...meaning the outlook didn't look so swell....meaning she could possibly develop asthma like her brother. I hope not. I REALLY hope not. It's such a hard thing for me to deal with mentally, because I don't like thinking my child is struggling to breathe and not getting enough oxygen, especially when you can see it in his face. I do realize however, that it could be WAY worse. I just pray that Evie doesn't have to get what her brother has.

Since she has been sick lately, her sleeping patterns have deteriorated and she is having a really hard time falling asleep. Which means I am tired quite often now too. Today was sunny when I woke up though, and that helped to wake me easier :) I better try and get some stuff done while Evie takes her nap and Asa's occupied with the babysitter(noggin)
