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.
