It's official

I hate Nutrition class. Test grades so far, 84, 92, 82. Geesh. It's soooooooo time consuming and so "chemical". Bleh. At least it's just a June-mester and I'll be done the 29th!

One-on-One with Neal

Today I had some errands to run, and Neal had his 12 year well check, so he and I got to have a Mommie-Neal day. It was fantastic. We ran my errands then browsed some stores and had lunch at Stevie B's. We shared lots of laughs and I was reminded at how quickly they grow up, how close he is to being an adult. I swear he's 12 going on 35 some times. At his wellcheck he was 57 inches, and a mere 77lbs...which puts him in like the 15th percentile for weight. Skinny dude, definatley not his momma's genes there. The demographics for this wellcheck asked about eating habits and grades and behavior, and as I was answering I realized just how super of a kid he is. He really doesn't give me much trouble past fighting with his brothers. And he's never sick, he had not been to the doctor since his last wellcheck just over a year ago. Anyway, I know some day he's going to grow up and move out and leave me behind, I just hope his future wife likes me, so she doesn't take him too far away.

That was short lived....

apparently since my previous job was the only one I had in 2009 and was only for the last month of that year, I did not make enough to file an unemployment claim, despite having worked there for over 6 months. So my hope of being able to really focus on school is deminished and I'm back on the job hunt...I'm already overwhelmed just thinking about it...

twice this week

i've been told i need to write a book. i just can't see my life as that interesting, but obviously from my facebook status and comments, it is. of course, i can't even commit to a blog 100%, so when would i find the time to write a book. my friend amy, has already titled it and given me two chapter ideas - my favorite being "When to Lie to Your Child". makes me want to, makes me daydream about it. but until i find the free time, i'll just work on not slacking on this blog. :)

Ahhhh

Today is my last day of work. I have been working from home doing customer service since Nov 30th and it's been insane. At first it was full time and I was very overwhelmed between home life, school, and work. In April, I cut back to 20 hours and that made a huge difference...until the boyz got out of school for summer break. Now it's like I'm going to have to totally retrain them on how to behave. I have been so tied to the computer 4 hours a day that it leaves them with idle time and idle hands and less supervision and that has just been pure chaos. I'm really looking forward to the summer now. 20 minutes and counting til my last shift ends!!!

Lock up your daugthers....

Mikey, 2, with his McDreamy hair and big blue eyes is going to be T.R.O.U.B.L.E.!!! He was playing with legos in Neal's room and I was in the living room, out the window I see his little head bob by. He had opened Neal's window, unlocked and knocked out the screen, and climbed out.

Do you have any idea....

...how entertaining it is to watch an entire SunChips display come crashing down at Wal-mart and how freakin' loud it is when it does???? Oh, and what a sight it is to see the expressions on the faces of the two boyz who caused the crash???
