Out of energy

Ok so I started yesterday and just have had no energy what so ever. I hate it. I wish I could skip past all this and get to the next stage already. Yes I am realistic about that to. I know it won't be a piece of cake but I would take the hot flashes over the pain and mood swings any day. I know it is only temporary and will only last for three days for me but it seems like three days of Hell. Pardon the french. Anyway I have not done anything for two days. Including my blogging. I am almost done with this and am ready to get my energy and my schedule back to normal. I know my kids and husband are ready to have the real me back to. Ok enough about that onto other things.

Ok so we have started the kids on the token economy system this week and so far I think it is going good. We have also decided to start the kids on what we call the Bellard bucks. This is a way for the kids to earn the right to do things such as watch tv at night before bed or play on the PlayStation. It seems they were spending way to much time doing those things already so we have come up with a way for them to earn those and other privileges. They seem to be liking it so far and are up for anything. On the other side of that we feel they are old enough now to buy their own things, such as toys and clothes. My girlfriend told me about what she does with her kids and so we are doing the same with ours. If they want clothes they have to buy them themselves. Ofcourse we will match whatever they spend so if they buy $50.00 worth of clothes we will also buy $50.00. But if they want toys or video games they have to pay for it themselves. We will not be matching that. They also have to start washing their own clothes. Yes they are. They seem to like it to tell the truth. Now they don't have to wait for mom or dad to do a load they can just do it themselves. The down fall to this is Dj now has pink underwear. He put a red shirt in with his whites by accident and now everything is pink. I laughed a little then told him it would be fine cause no one sees your underwear anyway. I guess its a good thing he likes the color pink. Ha ha. Elyssa on the other hand really seems to have the hang of it. She hasn't messed anything up yet. I think they really like this new set up. I know I do. Plus I am getting a lot more help around the house now. They are really gung ho about this whole thing. Oh ya on top of earning their weekly pay they also earn their Bellard bucks which they can either save to use for fun or they can trade for cash. The down fall to that is they can only get $10.00 for every $100.00 in Bellard Bucks earned. They are not thrilled about the exchange rate but I think it is fair.

Anyway everything else is going great so I am going to get off here cause I am about to fall asleep. Yeah its only 12:00 and I am tired. I hate this time of month.

Blog at you later.
