Sorry I haven't blogged lately, but well, I have just been crazy lately. So where do I begin....well school started last Tuesday. Oh course, seeing how I procrastinate, I had not went and bought my books. Which really, I never have until I looked over the syllabus. Sometimes, they don't require you to buy your book. Well all three classes did. So all week I tried leaving work to get over to the off campus bookstore to buy my books. Well, finally Thursday afternoon Trenton and I finally got there. But they were closed, yes ladies closed. And this was after I rushed to leave work at 5, pick up Trenton from daycare, and then rush all the way down the parkway and venture onto University Drive. So I pull into the parking lot at about 5:45 and they were closed!!! They closed at 5 o'clock!!! I mean, come on, some people do have to work and are not fortunate to get to leave there desk for lunch. So I thought since I drove all the way down University Drive then at least we could go out to eat for dinner. Danny was working late anyways, so Trenton and I went and took him to eat at Rosie's. Of course, that was an adventure too because Trenton really doesn't do well at restaurants. But hey, he is 4, and they waitress really was in no hurry!!!
Friday afternoon Austin came back home from nanny and papa's. He loves staying with them during the summer. And although I miss him terribly during the week, I know that these memories with them will last forever. Nanny and Papa are Austin's great grandparents, so really he is a lucky kid. He actually got to spend some quality time with his great great grandparent's but they have since past. So Friday evening we took Austin out to dinner at Mama Mia's with a couple of our friends. We had such a nice time, and the restaurant had an arcade, so Austin had a good time too!!! Afterwards, we went to try out the new ice cream shop, and it was so--- good! Then it was back home to get some rest.
Saturday mornings are always and adventure at our house. Austin has tutoring, I am trying to get some chores done, and my husband seems to always disappear. So this Saturday, Danny get up to go help a friend with his a.c. unit, so off me and the boys went. First we dropped Austin off at Sylvan then Trenton and I went to the Off Campus bookstore to get my books (which they only have 2 of the 3), and then we went to Old Navy. Of course, then we had to rush to get Austin and go get our haircuts. Now usually, I go get my haircut by myself. Girls we all know, that is a good place to have a little relaxation!! Well, not for me this time. So I let the boys go first. And then while I attempted to get my haircut, my kids thought they would have a water fight with the spray bottles. So finally she got my haircut. And girls, it is way cute!!! Of course, it is a little short, but I LOVE it!!! And I even got the hubby's approval!!! So afterwards, the boys and I got to spend a little time with my best friend Michelle. She lives in Georgia and came home for the weekend. After all of this I went home got the kids ready and went over to our friends house for dinner. Of course, my husband finally showed up at 7:40. I could tell he was exhausted, but I was also a little upset because we only get to spend the weekends with Austin and he spent a day working with someone else. But I didn't say anything, I just kept my mouth shut. On a lighter note, Danny's great aunt Velma passed away on Saturday.
So Sunday, I spent on homework. That was my plans on Saturday, but since Danny wasn't home I just spent the day with the boys. And of course, the class I don't have the book in, and still don't have the book in has the most work. So I completed my work for the other two classes. So far, so good. I just am hoping that I get the swing of these classes.
Well Monday we worked all day and had visitation that night. It is strange with Danny's family because they are not close. So the only time we see them is usually at the funeral home or a funeral. I know that sounds morbid but it is the truth.
Then yesterday, we went to Velma's funeral. She lived a great life, had a wonderful family, and loved God. I had no idea that she was a member of the Church of Christ. So we spend the morning mourning a loss but also rejoicing because now she is where we all want to be when our lives come to an end. After the funeral, we got to spend a little time with Danny's aunt Sherry and her husband. They live in Georgia, so it was nice catching up. Afterwards, I went back to work. Last night we spent having a wonderful dinner from Thai Garden (now girls, if you have never had their food, it is divine), and then we took Trenton and Ranger (the dog) out to play. What a wonderful night, after a day of sorrow.
So ladies, I guess now you see how crazy my week's go. Sometimes I really want to be a stay-at-home mom, but then I realize that if I really want that house, I need to continue with my career. Just keep my in your prayers, that I can balance God, my family, work, and school. Sometimes I think on Sundays, that I need a rest. But I know that God will take care of me if I just continue on my path. Oh and girls, I ordered that book for class online Saturday evening, and do you know, I still don't have that book. So wish me luck with that class, hopefully the book will arrive this week, so I can spend the weekend catching up with school. What a weekend to look forward too!
