It's been a long time

Did you all miss me? Wow, didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted. Well, some updates I guess. Still feeling mighty crappy especially at night. My head hurts all day long and I am so very tired. I haven't been to the gym for about 3-4 weeks because I am afraid I will start puking while walking the track. My husband thinks it will make me feel better. I would rather be safe then sorry.
Markus is officially weaned. Not that he wants to be, but mom thinks it is time. 18 months is a long time to nurse a baby. I hadn't even noticed that my milk was gone. He is only allowed to nurse once a day and I guess my body said enough and didn't make anymore. I was mainly nursing at night/during the night when he would get up. And the last three nights he had been very fussy even when he nursed. Last night is when it dawned on me that he wasn't getting any milk. He sucked and sucked and finally looked at me and said mom and started crying. Then he tried the other side and did the same thing. He wasn't about to be comforted. I almost felt guilty. Mark said I should. I told Mark he could nurse a boy with a mouth full of teeth and see how he likes it.
Elijah is doing good in pre-school. His teacher says he is the best student and the leader for his class. I asked if she was talking about my son. LOL. He loves to go. Unfortunately next Wednesday is Dad day and once again this year dad is away from home and won't be able to go with him. So, Briley gets to go again. Good things for big brothers even if he is only 11. They get to go on a firetruck ride.
We are taking a small break from school this week. Hopefully I feel better next week to get going again. I have also been thinking on how I am doing school and want to try some different techniques and see if that will help with schooling.
I was going to let my membership with the home school legal defense organization expire this year, but Corrisa's dad, grandparents, and great grandma are already throwing a fit that she isn't going to high school next year full time. So, I would like to be prepared legally in case something happens with that. I know that now that their dad is dating somebody and living with them that it makes him feel a little more powerful then when he is single.
Mark is just now today arriving in Wisconsin for work. He won't be home until Thanksgiving and then not again until Christmas. That is if he lasts on the job. He hasn't worked a job from start to finish in over 2 years so it isn't so far fetched that he will quit. He only left on Tuesday night, but the kids are already getting their dad is gone so we can be naughty behavior already. Of course it doesn't help that we are on the extreme west of Iowa and he is on the extreme east of Wisconsin. I love traveling jobs.
Well, I think that is our update in a nutshell. Hope you all have a great weekend.
