Tatum: What kind of cat is that?
Me: I think it's a Siamese cat.
Tatum: Well, where's it's twin?

It's a crazy life
The past few weeks have been hectic and crazy and I'm sure it will only get more so in the weeks to follow.
I was hired to work at the kids school on Thursday (two weeks ago) and started work on that Friday! Needless to say, I was of no use...I cried almost all day. I was happy, but sad. This means I have to leave my baby, which I don't think I was quiet ready for. Anyway, the craziness began. Since I am working at the kids school we need childcare for Weston (sniff sniff). All the day cares that we would think about putting him in are full and Jarrek has to work at the stores so our only option was a 'nanny'. We found a great girl that comes and watches him two days a week and Jarrek watches him the other three. This will on last until Weston is 18 months...we counting the days. This also means that there are many nights that Jarrek works and the kids don't get to see him. It is a big adjustment for all of us, cause we are use to having our daddy around, but we are doing good with it.
My Job:
I am the Paraprofessional in Life skills at the kids school. Not my own class, but it gets me in the doors for when an opening comes up. It is nice to get to take the kids to school and see them through out the day.
I love my job! It is not something that I really thought I would like, but the kids we have are great and I love going to work (it's only been a week) ;-)
The kids are doing great in school. Tatum was a little upset that no one from her class last year is in her class this year, but she is meeting new friends and enjoying first grade. Keaton was super excited when he found out who his teacher was. She taught the Kinder enrichement class he went to this Summer! He seems to be liking school, but it's hard to tell with Keaton. One day we're good, the next we're not.
With all the craziness, I have been a posting slacker :-(. Hopefully when we get in a better routine it will work out.

We own it!
Yesterday was Jarrek's first day as the OFFICIAL owner of the stores. For those that don't know, Jarrek, his brother and my brother purchased three liquor stores in BCS (The Cork). Right now they are still operating as that, but will soon change the name to Whiskey Charlie's. So...if yall are in town and in need to some refreshing beverages, stop on by.
It has been a hectic few weeks with Jarrek getting everything prepared for the purchase and running of the stores. The kids and I are really having to do some adjusting to daddy being gone. All in all we are doing good.
Mom and Dad came to town last week and we all went School clothes shopping. It was so fun to see how excited the kids got about picking out school clothes. Weston even got an outfit or two.
We went yesterday to Target and got backpacks and lunch boxes. I decided to spend a little more on their backpacks this year in hope that by Christmas they would still be in working order. Last year, both of their backpacks had broken zippers by Christmas break!
The kids have decided to take a break from Soccer for the Fall. I had mixed emotions about it, but they were excited to try new things. Tatum will be taking two dance classes...Ballet/Tap/Jazz class and Leaps & Turns class. We are signing Keaton up for "Ninja Class". I hope he's not disappointed when he walks in on the first day and no one is wearing a black ninja suit with mask. We'll see how this goes!
