Today was a milestone for Derek. He finished Road Runner and can now get his license. I can't believe my son can drive. I have been in the car with him driving, and am just a little worried. He is still needing more practice, which we will do before he gets his license. He isn't doing bad, its just you can see his inexperience. Which makes me wonder why they don't make the kids have more hours in the car than 7 driving, and 7 observation. That's why nearly all of them have accidents. But I am proud of him, he has done pretty well with me yelling at him in the car. I really wish I had that brake thing when he is driving.
We got through the summer basically going to the pool, hanging out, and being lazy. When school started, I was ready. I was ready to get back into a routine. Except for the fact I can't seem to get myself organized. And now that we are into our 7th week of school, I still feel a little overwhelmed. I'm not really sure why. I seem to stay busy all the time, but if I were to tell you what I did, it wouldn't sound like much. The kids are doing pretty good in school. We get report cards this week, so I will really know for sure. Christopher is having a hard time being responsible and staying on top of his assignments. I have had the teachers call me 3 times this 6 weeks. He has ADD, or at least that is what the school diagnosed him with, and he really has a hard time staying focused. And when he is working, the slightest noise distracts him. I am glad that the teachers have called me so that I can be on top of this, its just very frustrating. Derek is your typical teenager. That should explain it. And Hanna is taking after me. She worries about little things, enough to make her get an upset stomach sometimes. But she is my easiest child even though she is emotional. It doesn't take her long to get over being mad, or hurt, and she just loves everybody.
Hanna's birthday is coming up on Sunday. I can't believe she is going to be 8. I guess because she is my last child, her birthdays are somewhat sad for me. She is another year older and another year closer to leaving the nest. She is very affectionate, more so than my boys, she usually wants to go every where with me and hang out with me, but she is starting to change a little. She doesn't always have to go with me to the store, and would rather play with friends if she has the chance, than watching a movie with me. She is showing more and more of her independence, which I am glad, but it still makes me sad just a little. I love all of my children so much, but watching your baby grow up is the hardest thing for me.
