Its Going

This week is blah! Yesterday I slept the day away and today I wish I could... but I have 2 boys home with me b/c they're under the weather.

Staci and her family were here last week and I enjoyed every minute of being with them. It was like old times. We laughed until one of us peed on ourselves while the other barked like a dog. Good times for sure. Its nice to have kids the same age... they all played well. I'm ready for them to come back! Staci and I were able to meet up with Jamie and Crystal for lunch and a little shopping. It was nice to get out and be around other likeminded adults.

Friday we're supposed to get snow but I'm not going to hold my breath. I really want it to snow but last time the kids and I were very disappointed.

School is going good... My A&P teacher is so different than the last one. Different good. But I'm extremely grateful for the last teacher b/c I know she really prepared me.

Well today is the big day for me... I have an appointment this afternoon with Down w/the Pounds. I'll take a 'before' pic tonight but you probably won't see it here until I'm able to post a much smaller pic of myself :)

nada

I wanted to sit down and blog but I realized I don't really have anything interesting to say. sorry :(

L O V E

I found Jeremiah and Darcy in the chair the other day playing vtech video game.

My New Do

I actually have bangs but today I put them to the side...

Do you like it?

A New Do

I haven't gotten my hair professionally colored in probably 3 years... Today I'm getting my hair did!!!! I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do but I know I want some multicolored highlights (or maybe its called lowlights) throughout my hair. I don't want to cut any off the length but I wouldn't mind if she shaped me up some. I'm pretty easy when it comes to getting my hair done.

I'm going to a family wedding shower in Mobile this weekend... Me and the girls. Matthew's going to have some guy time with his little fellas :) We're both looking forward to the time with out kids but we'll miss each other. He's been working crazy hours still but after next week things should slow down.

Funny Stuff w/the kids

The boys try and trick us into thinking they're the other twin.

Right now I'm listening to them say "Good Morning Sleeping Beauty" back and forth to each other.

The other night Darcy had begged Matthew to let her sleep in our bed. I was at study group. He said she wouldn't settle down so finally he said "Darcy I let you come in here for one thing and one thing only! To lay down and go to sleep!" She rolled her eyes and sighed reallly big and said "Daddy, thats TWO things!" He couldn't help but to laugh.

Over the last few days when I've had asked Jacob things like 'Are you okay' or 'Are you hungry' he replies with "No I'm sick"

Sickies and So On

Matthew has been working 10 - 12 hour days 6 days a week for over 2 weeks now. He comes home dead tired. He doesn't come home and put his feet up... he insists on playing with the kids or helping me with the nightly task. The job they're on should finish up next week and after that I'm not sure where he'll be sent. Most of the jobs are a pretty long drive and I've gotten so use to having him 12 minutes down the road.

Jacob woke up Saturday morning running a fever and it hasn't let up yet. I made his doctor appointment first thing yesterday morning and by the time Jeremiah woke up he was sicky too! I ended up taking Jacob to the dr but she gave us enough meds for both of them. So far Darcy & Jessica are symptom free.

Last night we ended up with all 3 little ones in our bed. This is very uncommon for us. The boys hardly ever sleep in our bed... unless they're really sick. At some point I went to Darcy's room to sleep. But I was having difficulty sleeping b/c my right arm and leg was tingling. It started earlier in the evening around 8ish and didn't stop until a few hours ago. Not sure what thats all about.

School has started back and so far so good. I have a test on Wednesday that I'm sure to make a 100 on.... unless I draw a blank.

Back in the Saddle

School started back for me this week. I'm going M & W's only... I take a day class then go that night for another class. I really like both of my teachers. I'm going to miss tonight's class b/c I'm going with my husband to the Seeking 7 conference to hear Ravi Z speak. We'll be out Monday for MLD and then Wednesday I have my first test - already! YIKES! But I'm not sweating it too bad. I'm pretty sure things this semester are going to go smoother than last semester.

Matthew's been working a lot of hours lately. I'm miss him like crazy and when he gets home he's like a zombi from working so hard. We're grateful for the job and the overtime but its really hard on my husband who does manual labor for 10 - 12 hours a day in this freezing weather!

Well I've got to get some study time in before class... Hope everyone's doing well. Seems like all us 'bloggers' are too busy to blog :(

So far so good

I didn't make it to the gym this morning but maybe I can squeeze that in tonight after class... I'm a late night kind of person anyways. I did make it class today. Elementary Algebra - whew. The guy thats teaching is Jessica old teacher from CCA. He's really good at explaining things and no one ever has anything bad to say about him. I think I'll enjoy this class. Tonight is my A&P 2 class.

Matthew and I are going to the Seeking 7 conference in b'ham Wednesday night. We're not able to go to the whole thing but we're going to hear Ravi speak Wednesday night. This is NOT my kind of thing... I'm kinda scared that its going to be waaaaay over my head BUT my husband is really excited about going so I'm praying that I'll enjoy it too.

I need to pick up before I pick up the kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER IN LAW AMY!!!! I'm pretty sure she's turning 25 but I might be wrong.
