Thank you, and I will have that done. I'll be added to H's new medical coverage in 2 weeks, so I gotta wait .

Journaling:
Today was fun and stress-free !
It was the last day of school for the boys. S5 had his Kindergarten Celebration this morning -- every student received an award for something. S5 received the "Good Citizenship Award" for always keeping himself together in the classroom ! He's such a good boy !
Both S9 and S5 did really well on their report cards, too! S9 is reading at an early 5th grade level right now (he's going into the 4th grade next year), and his math skills are at a level equal to that of a typical 6th grader after the fifth month of the school year! My little miracle -- he makes me so proud !
We went out for pizza with my parents at the boys' request for an early dinner. Ok, Mom's had enough pizza for the week now ! That's twice this week already!
After that, I took the boys to Toys R Us to pick out their new bikes , and as an added bonus for being such wonderful kids , I let them also pick out a video game of their choice -- "Madagascar". Today, I was the "bestest" mom ever !
H called a little while ago. He sounded a bit "moody". It seems as if (boss) and his W are already "bothering" him. I did not want to go down that dark path with H, so I immediately began telling H about our very positive day. I also went over the kids' report cards with H, and he was so happy and proud ! H talked to them for a while then S9 gave the phone back to me. H said, "You should pat yourself on the back. They've done so well because of you!" I told H thank you, that means a lot to me ! I told H to do the same since he used to take S9 to work with him sometimes before we had S5, and H was always working on numbers with S9. H said, "Thanks, but you do a lot more."
I also told H that I bought the boys their new bikes. I told him it cost me an extra $10 per bike to have the store assemble them for us. H said, "If I was home, I could have done it myself. Sorry." I said, "It's alright. I probably could do it myself, too, but then again, there's no telling how long it might take me to finish them. Especially with having to stop for (baby) so much." H said, "No, you don't need to be doing that stuff right now. I'm glad you paid the extra money. Let them do it for you. Just....just don't do too much while I'm gone, alright? Just take it real easy." I told H I would. We talked for a bit more, H said "ILY", I said the same, then we said goodbye. H also said he'd call me later tonight or in the morning.
Ok, I let the boys stay up later than usual tonight, but I think it's definitely time for bed now . I can already hear them -- "Aaawww! C'mon, Mommy! Just a little longer pleeeeeaasssssse!"
Thanks for listening.
