Flynn Family

The other day we were walking into costco and I made one little mistake. I played ring around the rosie with Jackson. Long story short that is what he wanted to do over and over and over. So I have a video of the two boys playing, it is kind of bad because it was on my phone. Those two just love it when I pull out any camera I just hope I can get a real one soon so I can capture more moments. Wyatt loves to say CHEESE! Sometimes I feel like everyone's mom, I take care of my hubby and kids of course, then add to that Lainey, who is my kid, and her boyfriend who is having a tough time with his family, and then today I was taking care of Pete and the guys he works with. They teased him when I kissed him goodbye which I think is funny and cute all at the same time. Speaking of pictures I need to get started on my calendar for the Grandmas. They look forward to it every year. Also I think I am going to bring a couple more things to thanksgiving this year.. A couple pies that are my tra...

This year Jackson participated in his first school fundraiser. The initial notes said that the stuff would be back on the 17th... I think we are going to be able to pick it up today. I know I am getting the poinsettas today... It is windy... Maybe I should take some way to protect them. I will just get the costco bags out of the back I think. Anyway... Wyatt is doing well on the potty thing... and I had an interview today I hope it went as well as I thought it did... Keep your fingers crossed, pray or whatever ritual works, thanks Emily

So I was really starting to get my hopes up on an interview I had. They even called my references. Then I get this letter in the mail telling me they chose another candidate. I just don't know what to do anymore. Christmas is going to stink for my kids, I won't be able to make it to weddings of my family. I am just stuck and none of it seems to be getting any better. My cell phone completely died, so I had to figure the best way to get a new one. Luckily I was less than thirty days away from a new phone and they moved up the discount. On top of everything I kind of feel crummy.. I think I am going to lose it! On a lighter note, Wyatt did his first poop on the potty today.. He is such a big boy.

I have been trying to potty train Wyatt. We have good moments and bad, but last night was just so exciting. I didn't think anything of it when he woke up at four and headed straight to the bathroom, but what I didn't expect was he was completely dry when he woke up! This is just so exciting. Jackson still struggles and sleeps so deep he doesn't wake up to go, but Wyatt got up and stayed dry... I am just so excited!

This weekend was interesting. I didn't have Jackson all of Saturday and until Sunday afternoon because he went and spent the night with Pete's mom. I love that she will take him sometimes. I also cleaned the house because I was conspiring with Lainey's boyfriend to make homecoming dance night nive for her, that and it really needed it. Here is the question of the day, why is it that the mom is the only person that really doesn't get to sit down and relax in the evening? The teenager does, the dad does, and mom gets to chase the boys. Its in those moments I truly appreciate my mom.

Last week we were low on gas in one of the vehicles. So I volunteered to walk Jackson to school. My leg was numb every day by the time I got home but Wyatt and I made the round trip every day... I think the Round trip is close to two miles. The stroller got a flat tire on Friday and Pete wasn't able to look at it yet so Jackson and I drove today. But I was proud of myself for walking every day!

I have been looking for jobs again as you should know. Anyway I emailed a resume and cover letter in response to an ad in the paper. I emailed it on Friday. I got a call earlier today setting up an interview tomorrow. Hopefully I do not mess this up and we are able to get on more stable footing. I would be able to use my degree which is a plus.
