Short and Sweet

Friday night, we went out and ate with 10 other people, it was great to hang out and have fun!  Saturday, Jay and the kids went to Lee's Pro Shop and I stayed home to work on homework.  Sunday, I got taken out to eat for breakfast and then everyone helped me clean the house with no complaints!!!  That was sooo nice!

Monday, I worked on homework.  Tuesday, I went and took one of my finals at school at 8 am and came back, rented a steamer and took all the border and stickers out of her room, it's starting to get done, now, we just need to paint the kids' rooms!  Today, I go take another final, my second class is done so we are just watching a movie, I got a 99% in that class!

Yesterday, I also brought the kids the to the dr for well-being checkups and everything is good!  I also got a shot, ugh!

whata week!

Alec lost a tooth yesterday!  Yesterday was Mother's Day.  One of the things that were great is I had four helpers to clean my house.  You are probably thinking, cleaning on Mother's Day?  But if I didn't get it done yesterday, I would have to do it by myself.  With my Disk Disorder in my back, a lot of things are hard for me to do.  When I can get assistance, I will do it!  We shampoo'd carpets, cleaned toilet, behind toilet, tub, etc!  It felt so good to get inside the cracks!  That was actually a great Mother's Day gift!

This week is going to be pretty hectic!  I have to go grocery shopping today and study.  I have a six page essay at school tomorrow morning at 8 am.  So Tuesday, that's what I will be doing and then Alec and Jaydan have their well-being checkup that afternoon.  It is suppose to snow on Tuesday so the baseball game may be postponed.  Wednesday, I have an astronomy exam in the afternoon and then another class after that.  I will get home about 9:15 at night and then turn around and be back at school on Thursday at 8 am.  I was suppose to have an afternoon class but I rescheduled it for Tuesday morning.

Thursday, we have Kirsten and Kaylee's confirmation.  First, we eat supper at the church and then drive to Isanti for the ceremony.  What a day! 

Friday will be for finishing up the house and getting some food prepared for the confirmation party on Saturday!

Also, Thursday, Jaydan has her field trip to the como zoo and since Jay canceled baseball practice on Thursday, he is going to chaperone!  He just found out what that takes, to chaperone.  He was totally shocked when he found out he had to watch over more than Jaydan.  Last Thursday, I got to chaperone for Alec's class to the Mill City Museum.  I had never been there and it was fun!  I only got a little sick feeling once and that was because of height.  And yes, I had more than Alec in my group!

The one thing good about this week.  I will be a graduate!  I will have my AA!  I do, hopefully start classes again in June for my BA.

Four kids and the single mom

Being a mom is hard, especially doing it by yourself. With Jay being busy with baseball and four away games this week, everything is left on me.  Don't get me wrong, I also worry about Jay since I KNOW he is not sleeping as much as he should.  I went to bed about 11:15-11:30 pm last night and he still wasn't home and when I woke up at 5:45am, he was already out of bed getting ready for the new day.

However, this week is extra stressful with finals this week and next week for college and getting the house in order for the girls' confirmation party on the 15th, plus having to rearrange my finals on the 13th because of the girls' confirmation that day.  Of course to make things even worse, I have been sick for 10 days!  I had the flu for three days and then the next day, allergies!  Kirsten has not been to school this week because she has been sick with the crud and now today, Jaydan's asthma started getting worse so the nebbing started.  Yesterday, Jaydan had girl scouts and today, I signed up Alec for an instrument for band.  The trumpet.  I also had to do this without Jay's knowledge since he hasn't been around.

Today has been a pretty windy day also and this is what happened!  Alec, Jaydan and I had to try to carry this away from the driveway, we didn't get it very far but away from the driveway!
 

The joys of being in my household!  It could be worse....... right?

BTW, It's Jay's birthday on Thursday!  Happy birthday, Jay!!!!
