Weekend Update

Well, so far my weekend has been just peachy. Friday night, instead of watching football, I spent a couple of hours at the ER with Schylar. Diagnosis: broken right wrist. I have been suffering major guilt because I thought she was just whining (she never cried) and didn't take her to the dr. until 3 or 4 hours after she fell. It took a few hours before the swelling started. She was such a trooper. I know the x-rays were hurting her but she never cried or complained. Anyways, now we have a temporary splint and she'll get a cast later in the week. Today I have just felt icky all day. Maybe it's because I slept on the couch to be closer to Schy (she is camped out in Daddy's chair because she can't climb one-handed onto her top bunk). I think all of us are just worn out. Everybody's cranky at my house!!

Football update: MG is one game away from Sectionals!!

Haunted

Hey, I don't have time to post much about it, but I went to my very first Haunted House (amusement-type) Friday night with a couple of friends. I had so much fun!! Okay, I didn't actually open my eyes until I had pushed Kristin through all of the really scary parts. And I used my cell as a flashlight in the completely dark maze. And I screamed more than the kids in front of us. And I had to run through part of it with my shoe untied because I was afraid if I stopped to tie it the actors would separate me from my group. I am such a chicken!!

I Quit!!

I'm a quitter. I already knew that, but you might not have. I dropped one of my classes today. I haven't learned anything in it, and the instructor is so hateful. I'll deal with her next semester when I'm not quite so overwhelmed. To make my life even easier....My weekend classes are finally over!!! So now my life will be a little more normal. I get to go to football games and spend Saturdays playing with my kiddos and I won't be spending all day Sunday skipping church to do homework!!

Jenn: I'm leaving for Springfield sometime tomorrow afternoon, do you need anything dropped off or picked up?

Jessica: I miss your posts!!! I hope this is just a temporary lapse caused by the extreme fatigue of early pregnancy...You're almost halfway, it's time to wake up!! Also, thank Dan for stopping by tonight!

Starbucks, i need you now!!

I can't believe it's almost 3 am and I'm taking a break. I have been working for hours on homework that I should have done weeks ago. This is what I get for putting it off until the last minute. I usually spend Sunday doing homework, but I went shopping in West Plains instead. Currently, I'm trying to put together a creative leaf journal. I stopped worrying about cutting my lines straight a couple of hours ago and I have rubber cement all over my hands, my pjs, and my floor. I'm hoping that I have the right leaves with the right descriptions. I just want to pass this class!

Isn't this beautiful!

Star light, Star bright

This is what the stars say for me today:

If you feel frustrated that someone isn't saying what you want to hear, the problem could be you. Why are you putting expectations on this thing? Don't push on further with this agenda, because it is not based on anything real. It is based on a fantasy. That's not to say that some day it can't be real, because all signs point to great potential. But it has to happen in the right time frame. You have done everything you can. Right now, the ball is in their court.

Doesn't this pretty much apply to any girl/guy relationship? Or really any relationship: parents, siblings, friends. This one just called to me. It is so "my life".

Saturday, In the Park

Sometimes I Amaze Myself

Today, I had another moment of stupidity (hey, in my world, it's called genius). I got my van stuck. Between a house and a fence. Now, let me tell you, that is not an easy feat. It requires great skill. It also requires a great amount of humor. I was trying to avoid backing all the way down a long, narrow driveway at Tommy's house by pulling up a little and turning around. Only I couldn't get all the way around. I only got far enough to get stuck. Even better, Tommy was standing in the window laughing his behind off. He did eventually come out and (with a little help) rescue me so that I could go on to school and not have to spend the night blocking his driveway.

From the Mouths of Babes

It's amazing what my kids can come up with!!

Seth told Courtney: "My mommy divorced my daddy and married Peyton Manning yesterday."

Hey, at least he has good taste in selecting a stepdad!!
