Just for the Record

For the record:
1. My life is so busy right now. I wake up on Monday morning and blink and it's Friday night. Between grad school 2 nights, soccer the other nights, and just being a mom, I am swamped.
2. This past week, I didn't talk to my mom ALL week long. I can't remember the last time that has happened. That's how overloaded I am...if you don't call me, you probably won't hear from me right now during the week.
3. I cleaned my house for 4 hours today. It was disgusting. I still have some things to do, but it looks way better than it did.
4. I discovered a new author, and I'm madly in love with her books. The problem is that I don't ever have time to read for pleasure. I am allowing myself to read in the evenings for a little while before bed. It's my time to decompress.
5. I will be SO glad when the CRCT is over. I hate this time of the school year. I do love the month of May though. Even though the kids are nuts that month, I don't feel as much pressure so it's easier to let them "have fun" a little more.
6. I'm loving our "new" living room. It's so warm and homey.
7. Since all of my talented, interior decorating type friends live too far away, my principal is helping me with window treatments! It was a little nerve wracking having her come in my house on Friday.
8. On that same note, the next BIG house thing Joey and I want to have done is hardwood floors in our living room. However, it's something that we won't have done until we can pay cash for it. When that day comes, I will personally rip this AWFUL carpet up with my own bare hands. That is how bad I HATE it. I hate it. It looks AWFUL and is beyond stained. The color is just way too light for two very young children.
9. Today Tripp said "OMG". Wonder where he has heard that?
10. Today Makinley said, "Go way monsters. This my house. Go way. Go back your house. OK?" She's slightly obsessed lately with the thought of monsters. Don't know where it comes from.

Well, there's my "for the record" for today. Lots of random, random thoughts...but it's what you get for today. Till next time!
