Something not quite funny

I mopped my floors and had my bucket sitting in the kitchen. Bradley was awake and full of beans. He picked up the kitten... Poor Smudge, she got dumped into the bucket. I had to clean her up, then dry her off. Poor baby.

Long day

I am tired and can't think of anything silly the kids did today. Annoying yes, silly no. Bryan is always messing in the litter box. Brad won't eat. Nikki won't listen...

Ewwwww

The kitten sneezed on Bradley, so he spit on her, so gross.

Fun times

I stayed up all night to finish all of my assignments for this week. I am so tired, but cannot sleep. It is starting to get really bad. I figure if I fall asleep around midnight I might just stay asleep all night. I hope anyway. I have been sick from it. I vomit, have fevers, and all because I am so run down from not sleeping.
Nikki came home from school today and fell off the step, which wasn't funny, but her face when she did was. Kind of a OMG, did anyone see that? look. Bryan and Robert found a kitten today. It is all white with a smudge of gray fur on it's head. We named her Smudge. Bradley has been carrying her around by her neck, so any advice to stop that behavior is appreciated. Bryan wanted this kitten so bad he went to his room, dig out his allowance for the last 6 weeks, and then asked us to take him to buy the kitty a box, litter, food and a bowl. He has scooped the box for it too. She had an accident on the floor though. I hope it was her last.

Woo, it is such a day!!

Been a long day so far and will be a longer week. My excess funds check was mailed yesterday, so next week I should get my check. I really need it too. We are leaving for the weekend Saturday night and coming back Monday afternoon. Family reunion and all. We were going to stay in a hotel but my dad bought a motor home, so we are going to stay in it. I am going to make a yummy dump cake to take with me and a big bowl of potato salad.
I am waiting the next 10 minutes until I can go get Nikki from the bus stop.
Bryan has some fake money and is asking if he can buy just about everything in my house, lol. Bradley is tugging EVERY toy in the house into my bedroom.

Week of Silly Things Kids Do Posts

Well, here is my first theme of the week post.
Yesterday a thief went and broke in several cars and sheds in our mobile home park. Bryan woke up while the police were here. He said to me, "Mommy, did you forget to clean under your bed?" I looked at him funny, to which he replied, "You told me if I didn't clean under my bed, I would be in big, big trouble, no trouble bigger than police." So, I guess I need to clean under my bed better...
Nikki was outside playing and tried to a do a flip. When she did not quite make it over, she looked around, brushed herself off and says to Bryan, "Don't push me over next time." She totally blamed him. Silly girl.
Bradley, well, he does silly stuff all day long. He is fascinated with his potty seat, as long as he has his clothes on. Try to take his diaper off and he flips out. Saturday he sat down on his potty seat while I was getting ready to go to a party. He was sitting there making this psssssssss-ing noise and then looks at me, grins, and says, "I poop yike Dayee" I thought I would die laughing.

Happy 100th Post to me

This is post 100. I am working on blogging more often. I think my life is mundane, so I can go weeks without writing a single thing. I think that I might do a theme week of some sort next week. Every day an observation or post about a themed item... Maybe silly things my kids do. I am certain I will have plenty of opportunity to fill a page with that theme.
I am bored and can't sleep, so I am up blogging and watching the most boring show ever, Big Brother After Dark. It is horrible. I bet the people who edit the show to make it look like it is interesting want to kill themselves. It is boring. BORING.
Bradley is up. He stood at his gate to his bedroom shouting "Hep me, mukk, hep me, mukk" This translate to Help me, milk. Silly boy. He is happily drinking milk on the couch by his dog Snuffy. He also picks Snuffy's paws up and tries to yank him along like that while screaming "Moomy, a coo, aCOOOOO. " Mommy, a clue, a CLUEEEEEE. OMG, he is too much.
I need to be doing some home work, but I figure it is too late and I would not think clearly enough to do it well.

Every 2 minutes

Bryan asks if it is time for Nikki to get home. Shoot me now. And he refuses to play in his room. He just wants to be up my butt.

Woohoo

My student loan monies went into my account. Now I get to wait for my excess funds check to be cut. I might have my money by the end of the month.
Nikki woke up at 7:15am. She had a message on our machine from the one and only Hannah Montana. She was so excited to get the message from her. It told her to wake up for her big day. I sent my girl off to school in her Hannah Montana shirt, with her Hannah Montana back pack. Last night was open house. She loved her teacher, and I am confident this will be a better year than last year. Her 1st grade teacher was a damn moron. It was one thing after another and I felt I was at school way more than I needed to be to complain about that incompetent idiot. This teacher seems really nice and she did not roll her eyes when Nikki gave her a hug. Nikki is such an affectionate kid and hugs people all the time.
Bryan is still asleep, I am dreading him waking up today and the million and one questions I will have to answer about why Nikki is at school and he isn't. I am going to have to use the mom stand by... Because I'm the mom, so shut it. Or Because she is the big girl. Both of those answers will spawn more daggone questions. Eventually his questions about Nikki being at school will give way to him asking every 5 minutes when she will be home.
Bradley, well, I have no clue how he will be today. He could either be in full tantrum mode or be laid back all day. I guess I am in for a very surprising day. Rob is working tonight, I hope he gets transferred to first shift soon. These nights bug the crap outta me.

Do do do do, do do doooooooo, dum da do doo dum

That is my Jeopardy theme that is running in my head.
It is in my head because I am waiting, again. Now I'm waiting for my student loan to pay my classes. I owe $259, and if it is not paid, I get kicked out.
Nikki starts school in a few hours, I am so ready. Bryan will bug the crap out of me because he is bored, but it will be ok. Brad will probably be lonely too.

Tomorrow

is my 8th wedding anniversary.
I cannot believe it has been that long.
I am waiting for school money to be deposited into my account. I see that FAFSA says my Pell grant is deposited, but no sign of it yet.

I goofed

And fell asleep at 10. Not a goof for a normal person, but it is a big goof for me. I woke up around 1am and have been up since. I seriously will not sleep until tonight. And the cycle begins. I will end up asleep at 9 or 10 tonight, wake up around 1am again and be up. If I am woke up, I cannot fall back to sleep. At least right now I have hot Olympic tennis guys to look at. Normally at 6am there is only news and infomercials.
It is almost 8 now. I did some laundry, cleaned my living room and kitchen, fed my dogs. Now, I feel like I am about to barf all over and have a migraine.

Cramps, bloating, mood swings, oh my!!

Ugh!! I feel horrible.
I did shop today though. And paid bills. Paying bills is important if I want internet and electric.

A non-bitching post

Wow. I am not going to bitch right now.
I have had a pretty good day. Bradley is so silly and fun to hang out with. I am enjoying the time I have with him alone. Bryan and Nikki are gone to my dad's until Thursday, so more often than not, it is just Bradley and me. I make dinner while he plays in the kitchen, then we eat dinner together. He jabbers at me while he eats. Then he takes his bath. Tonight, after his bath, I got him dressed in his jammies on my bed. When he was dressed, he covered himself with my comforter, grabbed his blankets, and fell asleep. He is so sweet. I love his cuddles and I even love his tantrums.
I miss Nikki and Bryan. I seriously love the time I have with Bradley and keeping my house clean, but I need to hug them.

I am so tired of reading

I love to read. I really do. The new classes I started yesterday have kicked my butt in the reading department. I had 4 chapters due to be read by tonight. I have 1 1/2 done. It is such slow reading. I was taking notes as I went, but it become so I KNEW I would never get all the reading done by today if I kept doing it that way. So, I will read all of the chapters and then write mu notes this week. I did not think that reading could be so hard!!

I hate CRT 205

This class is my last hurdle for this block. Everything else is turned in and hopefully about to be graded. CRT is giving me fits though!! I have probably put over 10 hours into the final for it, and am not even 3/4 done yet. I am almost to the 3/4 mark though. I am sure some of you are thinking, what on Earth is CRT 205? I will tell you. It is a class about critical thinking. Shouldn't be too hard right?? Wrong, it is so hard, it makes my head hurt to read it. I seriously feel like I want to rip my hair out when I am working on it. I think it is a class you either love it or you love to hate it. I have a 95% average so far, but I am thinking this final will pull it pretty far down.

The final involves finding 4 articles. I go to opposing viewpoints database, find 2 topics that look promising. Then I find an article I like for each topic, then I find one with an opposing viewpoint for those 2 articles. Then, I read the article and nit pick it to pieces with my 10 questions designed to drive a sane person mad. A total of 40 answers need to be provided, with examples of the answer, and how I found the answer. I have 13 questions left to answer.

On the up side, Bryan and Nikki are gone to my dad's for a week, so I should have plenty of time to do this stupid, stupid final before Sunday at midnight when it is due. If Bradley does not drive me batty with his constant need for attention. I love him, but if I do not pay enough attention, wow, he just gets destructive!


OK, so I lied, I buckled down this morning and finished the whole thing. The last article was easier than the 3rd one, so it went fast. I am going to spend the rest of my week playing with my son and then start on my next classes Saturday. Maybe end up a week ahead!!

I hate this

I normally do not post stuff that is really private, but I am noticing weird behavior from myself. I ALWAYS want sex lately. It is weird for me, because I normally don't really care if I have sex or not. Right now, I am pouting because Robert went to sleep and we did not have sex, I feel like a teenager.
Sorry. Had to get that out there.

I want to rip my hair out

I have had nothing but problems in one of my classes from the word go. He has under graded me, given me a 0 for his mistake (could not open the attachment that was my assignment) and then would send me grades that aren't mine. Yesterday he was supposed to give us the review our peers had done of our essays. He just gave me the essay... no review. He was not supposed to have office hours until Sunday, but I asked him a question anyway. He popped in today, answered other people's questions, then ignored mine. I need my review to do an assignment that is DUE SUNDAY!! How the hell can I? So, I did the unthinkable... I turned him in to my academic counselor. I did the tattle tale. I hope I don't get into trouble with the instructor over it. It needs to stop. He must be rushing things to have this many screw ups!
