Wasted Snow!

Friday evening it started snowing and it continued throughout the whole weekend. Wen does it stop? Well Sunday night of course. So all we got out of about 7 inches of snow was a 2 hour delay!! Grrrr but I sure am goig to be happy when we have a bunch of four day weeks when the weather is nice and my homework gets more intense. So I won't complain anymore than that.

We had a good weekend! Friday we had a birthday party for Drew so Kenton got to visit with papaw and his uncles. He is such a good host. He even stayed up til about 9:30. Saturday was a huge snowstorm so I didn't leave the house. As a matter of fact I even indulged in a Saturday afternoon nap with Kenton! Saturday evening Josh and I went to a Valentines dinner/dance with some friends. It was a lot of fun but when we came home at 10 kenton was still up! After a short story with mom and dad he was fast asleep. Sunday was another day at home but I had to do homework so no nap for me. We took kenton out to play in the snow for a little bit but he wasn't all that impressed and his mittens wouldn't stay on so that was short lived.

Today was Monday. Pretty normal day with the exception of a 2 hour delay! I used to not appreciate delays because I still have to go in at normal time but now I realize that is a great time to get work done. So give me a delay any day of the week!

Not Feeling like super mom...

It was shaping up to be a pretty typical day, dinner was in the crock pot and Kenton an I were hanging out waiting on josh to get home. Then Kenton walked around the ottoman which I was sitting right next to and fell. He was carrying the remote and he hit his mouth on the ottoman and with the remote, I think, plus his top teeth cut his bottom lip. Blood poured!! I was terrified but I had to keep my cool because I was by myself. I got him cleaned up and he was
Still crying. Finally I got him in different clothes which he demanded to be pjs. He cried so long he was a little hoarse. He did eat dinner and drink and play like normal. We have him some Tylenol before bed to help with the pain and swelling. I'm hopin it looks better in the morning. It really makes you feel like crap when you are right next to them and can't do anything to protect them. Oh being a parent!

On a bright note- tomorrow is Friday!!'

Masters Classes and Behavior Plans

After waking up and still not feeling well I went to work and made it all day. Now I feel fine. Hopefully the morning is good too. It was a busy day at work that produced more work for me this evening. I have to make a behavior plan for a student and I'm at a loss because nothing seems to work but anyhow. My highlight of my work day was giving several of my students some clothes that had been given to me. Most of them promptly went to the bathroom and put on their 'new' clothes!

This evening we had a lot of fun cuddling on the couch and crawling with Kenton. His new favorite game is making everyone crawl around the living room. Once he went to bed I was busy working on a behavior plan and homework. I have another meeting in the morning so we will we what they think of what I did. On top of that I have an assignment due tomorrow. As soon as I finish that assignment I have to start working on an assignment for my other class that is due Sunday!! When will I get a break?!?

Ok I'm going to bed. I doubt this makes much sense, haha

Two Week Hiatus

Wow! I did what I wasnt going to do, go a long time without writing but life just got in the way! After our week long recovery from taking one weekend day to ski I don't know how we did it before. We traveled one or two weekends a month and I never felt that behind. Maybe because we both got home earlier and therefore had longer evenings. I don't know but now it feels like I'm always trying to get caught up. I never have all the laundry washed and put away. The dishwasher always needs loaded or unloaded the pets need feed a bill needs taken care of something needs mailed, I could go on but I digress. Now that I have started Working on my masters I have even less time. I'm taking two classes for a total of six hours and I'd say I'm probably spending about six hours a week doing homework. I thought I could just take one day a week for each class but I forgot how slow I am at reading from a text book so it's more like an hour a day everyday then longer on the weekends.

We have been busy house hunting again so that takes even more time but it will be worth it when we find he right house and have more room. Apartment living is not for us! This past weekend I was sick with a cold but was well enough to celebrate with my best friends for their birthdays and I had a blast. Sunday I was fairly miserable but had laundry and homework to do plus a baby to take care of. A good night of sleep Sunday helped and so far I feel good! I pushed pretty hard today so I hope I don't have a relapse tomorrow. If I do I'm going to the doctor if I don't then I'd say I'm better! Anyway I'm just rambling trying to make up for two weeks off so I'm going to sleep now. Heres to writing daily again!
