I hate finals week. My body feels out of whack during finals week. It doesn't help that this is a busy kinda week to begin with.
Yesterday was ok. I just did laundry. Like always.
Today will not be so awesome. Today I need to kinds deep clean my house. At least the stupid living room, my room, my kitchen, and the bathroom. Bryan's teacher is coming at 4:30 for a home visit. Then I have to go to Nikki's parent-teacher conference at 6. It is a big conference because we are going to ask that she be tested for dyslexia and ask that she be put back into reading recovery. Hopefully she will be able to turn it around and pass to third grade.
I also have to work on my finals this week. They are due on Sunday, but we have a nice and busy weekend, so I have to have them finished by Friday!!!
Saturday is Nikki's last game. She is cheering at 9 something in the morning.
Sunday my mom and dad in law are taking all of us to the Newport Aquarium. Fun, woohoo.
So, I gotta bust out these final projects like yesterday. Good thoughts and prayers I get through this week please?

Tantrums

Bradley has been having some real tantrums, the kind where you want to take cover and leave the room when they start. Usually over nothing, or at least nothing I can figure out.
So, right now he is screaming. A lot, all the time. I want to get over the terrible 2s!!

Hoping for an easy weekend

Tomorrow starts with a trip to the doctor for Nikki. Getting her ears checked. Then take her back to school. Tomorrow night we are starting to tear up the bathroom. This weekend will be mostly bathroom remodeling. We have so much to do. Saturday morning Nikki has her first basketball game to cheer for. I also have 2 papers due on Sunday that I have not begun at all!

Took my goggies for walks...

My poor Snuffy is so fat he can barely fit his new harness we got him. I took Peanut to the bus and the mail box when we had to put Bryan on the bus. Of course, the drive is iced over and I about lost it. I jerked my arms up to correct my balance and yanked my poor dog up. She gave me an EVIL look. Then later I took Snuffy to the mail box since the mail hadn't ran yet before. He anchored me!

Bradley had a bad day, he was grouchy and misbehaved a lot.

Busy day

Wow, we got lots done today. It will sure feel good to write it out, take a long hot bath, and then sleep for 7 hours!
First off, I woke up with Nikki at 7:15am. She got herself ready for school, which I love. Bryan got up with her and I made him a bowl of cereal. After Nikki went to school, he laid down in my bed and we took a small snooze from 8am until 9ish. My mom in law called then. Her and dad in law were leaving to go to Indiana to the Argosy Riverboat to gamble. Woohoo. Maybe they will win big and share some with me! I have to look after their dogs and cat for 2 days. No big.
Then, I got Bryan ready for school and got Bradley dressed for the day. Poor lil guy needed some outside time, he was going stir crazy! So, we went outside to wait on Bryan's bus a little early and played. After Bryan was off to school Bradley and I went to visit the neighbor and her only kid at home. He is Jashua and him and Bradley are the same age. They played a while, then Jamie and I took them on a walk to the mail box. By then it was noon, so Bradley and I went and cleaned our living room really well. It still needs work, but is much better now. Then we played more and cleaned more. Robert called to say he was on his way home at 2:30pm, so we got the rest of the house descent.
Bradley bonked his head, so we cuddled a while, then he yelled at me to lay down with him. We cuddled in my bed until daddy got home. Then he joined us!! We all 3 took a nice, quiet nap until 4:45pm when Nikki and Bryan got home. We got all spiffied up and went out to dinner and to look for a toilet latch. Bradley has this really bad habit of putting toys in our toilet and flushing them. And we have to rip the toilet up and snake it out!
Well, we could not find a toilet latch, so shop another day. I got some new lip balm and hubs got a surround sound system for the bedroom, like we need it!! We also got the pets new collars and brushes. Snuffy is cute in his orange and silver harness, Peanut lookis positively princessly in her pink collar.
Robert is trying so hard to quit smoking. He is using the patch, but he still is always wanting a cigarette. Someone at work gave him one today. And he had to start all over in his withdrawls. He is miserable. I am trying, but grumpy him biting my head off does not make me feel supportive!!
We came home, everyone but me went to bed, and I enjoyed some quiet time. Now I am off to my hot bath. I need to relax some of my muscles!
