Oh my gosh! I really haven't forgot about this thing at all. Life has been soooooo crazy! In six weeks I have dealt with 6 ear infections from 3 different kids, a set of tubes for one, 3 with the nasty stomach flu (including hubby,) and 3 cases of Strep Throat. I need to buy stock in Lysol, Motrin, and Augmentin! It seems no matter how hard I try to keep my home germ-free it just doesn't work. The secretary at the middle school asked me how I have managed to stay well through all of this. I told her that God is keeping a close eye on me. He knows that I can't get sick because then who would tend to all the sick kids?
On top of all of that my school work has been consuming so much of my time as well. And I am a procrastinator. Two nights ago I wrote two papers from start to finish including research. I stayed up til 2a.m. but I got them done! Finals are next week and then a whole month off. Woot! Woot!
Then to make things more interesting, my mother moved up here the week of Thanksgiving from Florida. And she is living right up the street from us. So far it's been great. I've been Driving Miss Daisy. Awesome! But seriously it's been nice having her around. I have never lived any part of my adult life with either one of my parents in even driving distance, let alone practically next door. I'm not sure what exactly I am supposed to do. Do I call her or go over there every day? Or not? I guess we'll figure it out eventually. Trent's been a big help getting her settled in to her new place. It looks very nice over there.
Also, my baby boy started walking Thanksgiving Day. Boy, are we in for it now! He's still only taking steps here and there but I think by Christmas he'll have it down. He looks like a little bobble head walking around the house. It's so cute!
So, long story short, things have been super busy in the Shriner home. I'm ready for a break. I'm really going to try to keep up better with my blog. Hopefully things will settle down soon. Looking forward to a weekend of nothing. I need it!
