Hurricane Amber has struck again

So I have been noticing more and more lately that whenever Amber comes home from her dads that whatever work I have done around the house is almost immediately trashed. Now this weekend was not much different, I spent time cleaning the rug, scrubbing the floors and bathroom along with a ton of laundry. The usual weekend cleaning yet within an hour of ambers arrival there is all the pieces of a craft kit spread out on the couch since amber needs to see all the pieces, a jump rope on the floor and a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff spread out around the house. It seems that no matter how much I try to tell her to keep her stuff picked up and in her room it doesnt stick or she forgets. Plus lately I am so tired by the end of the day that I dont want to have to have to clean house every single day well no more than the dishes and laundry lol. I get tired of living in a messy house so much of the time but dont see any way around it. Oh well whats a girl to do, Maybe I will threated to donate all her stuff again. It did seem to work one of the five times I have done it.

Kindegardens Over : (

So today was Amber's last day in kindegarden. She is sad but also excited. She loved her teacher Mrs Walsh and is going to miss the fun they had but is excited to be going to the 1st grade. I have to admit that I got a little teary eyed when the teacher gave her a big hug and said she was going to miss her so much, then we had to go say goodbye to Mrs Gina who is the kindegarden caregiver in kids first, Another person she is going to miss next year. Yes she will still see her since I am putting her in the same program but there will be a lot less involvement since she will do activities with the older kids. Ahhh my baby is growing up on me and there is nothing I can do to stop it. Its so sad : (, but what can I do. But I must say that she did really well on her report card, almost all pluses, a few checks and no minus and she got awards for her writing and listening skills and placed in the early advance for speaking and understanding at a level above her age. Yes I'm a proud mama, what can i say lol
