UPDATE

I haven't posted anything for awhile so I thought I would just give a quick run down of what has been going on with us.

The boys are doing great. Austin has been off track all month, but he goes back to school on the 23rd. He's not happy about returning to school. Did I mention that I hate year round school. The kids go off track for weeks at a time then it so hard to get them back into the routine of going to school. Chance is still Chance. I still can't get him to eat very well. He was telling me the other day that dad was so cool and strong. So I told him he can be just as cool and strong if he would eat dinner. He said "But I don't like dinner. I only like cereal." I don't know what to do. His diet mostly contains cereal, toast, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, chicken nuggets, corn dogs, and hot dogs. I always offer him everything we have and he always refuses and never even tries it. It's so frustrating. Mike has been laid off work, again. It's a stressful and scary time for us. I'm hopeful that everything will turn out, but it's still hard not to freak out. I am turning another year older this month. I'm not sure what to think about that. I'm not 40 yet but I'm not in my 20's either. Life passes by to fast.

I'm sorry that Mike lost his job again. Please let us know if you need anything.

I hate year round school. I think traditional is so much better for most kids.

I hope that Chance is going through a phase. Almost all kids go through food phases.

Pretty much ditto on Rachel's comments! I, too, am so anti year round school. Bleh! And, I'm pretty sure Chance just eats like me. Seriously, just ask Heather who is the hardest to please person at the dinner table. I'm pretty sure she'll say me.
