what did you do this week?

I had another busy week. What is funny is that I used to think that my life was busy pre kids, marriage, everything. That was nothing compared to now!

I finally counted it up and I spend 5 hours a week just taking Franklin to and from school. Which also means that poor Grace spends 5 hours a week in her car seat. I would do so much with that extra 5 hours a week. I had been considering a different preschool for Grace but then I thought, "what are you crazy" THe last thing that I need is to drive to two different schools each day or several days a week. I would have to start living out of my car, although sometimes it feels like it!

My class was great on Monday, I had a test and I feel pretty confident that I did well. I was worried because I didn't get a chance to study over the weekend, but I spent about an hour or so before the test going over everything. I missed a lecture because of the sinus infection that I had. This is crucial because the class only meets once a week for 3 hours and is strictly a lecture class. I tried to get notes from the person that sits next to me and she had only written down three things! Filic was great on Monday night. He decided us out for dinner in celebration of my test. We explained to the kids that mommy had a test at school and they were excited too!

Tuesday night I had an alone night. I just needed to get out of the house and do nothing. Went and saw the movie 'No Reservations' at the dollar theatre. It was a good movie. It was great to just sit there and be by myself, which is something that I need sometimes.

Wednesday, Filic and I ended up having an impromtu date. We were driving back from the library with the kids and they were just being very LOUD and we looked at each other and said "date night". We went to Sangria's for dinner which is on Main Street. It is a tapas place, the food is delicious and the red Sangria is soooo yummy! They give you lots of fruit which I love. (we went to Sangria's the night of my photo exhibit opening) Then it was off to the movies to see 'Across the Universe'. It is a movie about the vietnam war, people protesting it, life in general in the late 60's and 70's but it is a musical of sorts. All the music is Beatles songs performed by the cast. All of whom have amazing voices. Filic is a huge Beatles fan and he thought that they did a great job with the music. I loved the music. I will be downloading the soundtrack from iTunes soon.

Thursday, Franklin said he wasn't feeling well. I took his temp and he had a very low grade fever. He stayed home, which he did not want to do. I decided that it would be a great time to give him something that he had been really wanting. The Little Einstiens Pat Pat Rocket. I have been trying to get the toy for him for about a month now and it is always sold out. By some odd chance I called the Target on University and they had two on Monday. I was thrilled. I put it in my closet for just the right time. He was so excited to get it. He shared with Grace, which made me proud. I had an eye appointment on Thursday and got new glasses. I love the way they look on me and I can see so much more now! It's great. Went to a first anniversary party. YUMMY food! There were fresh french fries, filet and mini portabello kabobs, a bruchetta with a sweet pea mash on top, and more. And the cake was great too.

Friday I worked. Filic took Grace to Jungle Gardens for the first time. He said that she wasn't that into it. He wanted to take her for a Daddy and Daughter day. She doesn't get a lot of one on one time that doesn't involve an errand of some sort. I guess she is fine just hanging out with us. Friday was a busy day at K2. Lots of inventory came in and needed to be entered. I literally spent all day entering inventory, pricing it and getting it onto pegs or into trays for Karen to put out. I have some paper cuts but the new stuff is great.

The kids woke up at 6:10 this morning. I have a lot to do today. The list is a page long. Filic and Franklin have soccer today. Grace and I are going to run errands and clean the house.

I hope that everyone is enjoying the cooler weather and has a great weekend. Let me know what you did this week.

What are you?

I found the link to this fun and very short quiz on my friend Jocie's blog. I love dessert and had to know what I would be!

You Are Cheesecake

Rich, sweet, and simply perfect. You're not boring - you're just the best!

What Dessert Are You Most Like?

It's been awhile, but a lot has been going on!

I realize that I have been a bad blogger lately. Haven't posted something new in a very long time. A lot has been happening here though.

I have been fighting the cold that has been going around for almost three weeks. Found out on Sunday after spending 6 hours in the ER that I have an acute sinus infection. This is my first sinus infection and it sucks. Thanks so much to my dear friend Jessi and her amazing hubby Dana for not only watching my kids but driving me to the ER. I am so blessed to have her in my life. She is truly a wonderful friend.

My house was infested with Carribean Crazy Ants. I had never even heard of these before. But for whatever reason, they really liked my clean laundry. With being sick I had a ton of folded laundry in my bedroom in baskets that I just couldn't get put away and they LOVED it. Right before leaving for our Club Med getaway ( and I am talking about the morning we left) is when I realized they were in all of my clean laundry. I had to buy clothes when I got to Club Med. Thank goodness there was a Marshall's and a Target very close by! We had the pest control guy come while we were gone and were lucky enough to come home to a lot of dead ants.

I have had a lot of laundry to do! Had to rewash all of the clothes that were infested. But since I have been battling this sinus infection I couldn't get all the laundry folded and it had been piling up. Finally yesterday I sat the kids up with a "picnic lunch"(I let them eat on the floor in the living room while they watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and folded about 15 loads of laundry. The bed in my guestroom was fully covered in folded clothes. Then came putting everything away, for the kids anyway. Was too tired last night to get to my laundry, but will be doing it first thing today before more crazy ants decided to invade!!

My computer deleted the images off of my cameras memory card before I had a chance to uplaod them. And they were the most amazing photos. I was able to find a computer repair person to do a data recovery for me. But the most amazing part was that he came to the house to pick up my memory card and then brought it back to me at K2 while I was working there on Saturday. And he was able to recover all the images!!! YAY!!! I was so thrilled.

While heading to the pharmacy on Monday to drop off my prescriptions I got a flat tire on Clark Road. What is worse is that I could see the tire repair place from where I was sitting, I just couldn't get the car there. I called AAA to come and tow the car. I figure I pay for the service, may as well use it. They showed up within 20 minutes and towed the car. Had my friend Jen come by and pick up Grace for me so she didn't have to sit with me at the tire place. The tire place was great, they got me out of there in just over an hour. I was pleased about that.

So, after all of that, I am sitting here blogging to you all. Still fighting my sinus infection. But just happy to be alive. Becacuse no matter how bad the past few weeks have been for me, it is nothing compared to the lives of a lot of people in the world. I have to remind myself of that a lot. But I figure that the world, God(s) won't give me more than they think I can handle, right.

I hope that everyone in doing great and I can't wait to hear from you.
