My My how things change when you’re a parent. Little Geneva (2) is obsessed with Dora the Explorer. She can pick out any kind of Dora merchandise from a mile away and promptly wants it.

The other day she picked out a Dora CD and I figured hey why not. Now I thought this would be used mostly in the house. Boy was I wrong it has not even made it up to the house. We listen to the CD EVERYDAY in the car.

It’s actually pretty good. I love to blast it once we drive off from day care at the end of the day. Isaiah (5) will bob his head here and there but Neva on the other hand really gets into it. Flailing her head back and forth and shoving her hands into the air in joy.

Parenthood changes a lot of the things we do but sometimes it is for the good. I would rather listen to the Dora CD and see the happiness in my kids faces then anything on the radio.

Yesterday we had a tornado warning. I was a mess rushing to get the little ones from daycare before it hit. My neighbors urged me not to go get them as I might get caught in the storm but I could not even fathom having my babies without me at daycare during such an event.

We got home in record time and went into the basement with my neighbors and their kids where it would be safe. Thank goodness the tornado warning was just that and life resumed.

I had to take a break due to all the publicity surrounding Cullen. Now that things have calmed down I am ready to get back into the swing of things and return to all my friends here on the stream.

No charges have been brought out, he only has to stay out of trouble for a few months and then it will go away completely.

Now for the next fight; the Teacher’s Association Attorney said he was going to petition the Superintendent to have Cullen involuntarily be transferred to another school. A move I plan to fight but I have to wait to see if he makes good on his word.

Everyone here is doing well. My life is busy as always with the 4 kids but I am glad to be back. I felt so isolated when I wasn’t blogging.
