K, I hope that no one has gotten stuck here looking for me. That would really suck! You can see my blog at www.busymomma.com. I've been a decent blogger and post frequently. Click on over and see what hell I'm raising!

School day

Well it's back to school today. I think I'm ready? lol I only got a couple of hours sleep last night, total insomnia and now I will pay for it. I'm already starting to get tired. I'm drinking a diet dr. pepper right now and will have one more, but I want to make sure I sleep tonight. It's a busy week with school again and working extra hours. It's supposed to snow tonight, so we'll see. The sky definitely has that look to it.

Family pics

We took some family pics today. I hope they turn out great. I was bummed that it was raining so hard we couldn't go outside, those are the best pics. But, we needed them taken and I know everyone will love them for Christmas. The house is pretty clean because of it too. BONUS! Now I can get to work on the extra bedroom and packing up some stuff to take to the crop on Sunday. I'm excited to cook turkey dinner here tomorrow. Hubby's going to go play flag football in the morning and the kids and I will work on making dinner. Too bad they are both not feeling well. :( Hopefully they will be better tomorrow.

Week is almost over

It's almost back to school for me. I really don't feel like I've accomplished much. Just like the last break. lol But the house is cleaner and the laundry is caught up. So, I guess that's enough. I plan on scrapbooking tonight after I get the house picked back up. We have family pics on Friday and if it rains we will have to take them in here somewhere. Since we don't really have the house fancied up, I have no idea what we will use as a backdrop. Oh well, it's not the background that matters. Off to clean as always. WHere's my Diet Dr. Peper?

Monday

Boy, today was a Monday. If I didn't drop it, I threw it. There has been no extra time and then top it off with horrible cramps. I'm glad the day is over. I think I will go take a shower and hide in bed. lol

Made it through the night

Two of them have left for church and I put football on my big screen so they have all gone to my daughters room. Hey, my Raiders are on and this is the first game that's been televised up here this season! There's just things a woman's got to do. So we'll see how bad we get beat here, but at least I get to watch them lose. lol All in all, there haven't been any real problems. Just the normal bickering between girls.

The house just needs a little pick up and I will spend the rest of the day scrapbooking and watching football. Doing some laundry in there too. Low key day:) I wonder what hubby is going to make for dinner? Cause I sure ain't cookin'!

Wow, a month

K, I'm a slacker on here. It's been such a busy month. Second term is over. Grades were 3.63, not happy about that. It dropped my accum. to 3.82. :( Oh well, I'll make up for it in the last 2 terms. It's all the fun classes now and practical/application stuff.

I let my daughter have a slumber party tonight. Her bday is in July and the last couple of years have been a bust because everyone is on vacation. So, I let her have a big slumber party and just my luck, all 8 of them could attend! Wow, there's a lot of girl power going on in my house. There's a lull in the radio and karaoke, so my brain is unscrambling. They have found the madlibs. Do those things ever go out of style? lol With 9 ten year old girls, you know there's going to be tears within a few hours. Ahh, the drama.

halloween party

I was having a great time at our friends party earlier tonight. My son had been sick earlier this week, so I was somewhat prepared to leave early. But, my daughter said she didn't feel well and I call BS on that. I know they get bored there and that's cool. So next time I will make sure they stay at grandma and grandpa's for the night.

Debt

Well, I frequent a few boards and found my name on one of them. UGH, it was the finance board. My post had inspired them to post their debt. So, now I will do the same. I hate, hate, hate to do it. But, then again, I haven't balanced my freakin checkbook in a year. Hubby has no clue and no say. lol So, I guess I really should step up and be the adult. Make a budget we can live happily on, no problem, and then also make a point of a list of bills. What if, god help us, something happened to me? Do I really want to leave my family without any knowledge or even a place to start?

UGH, this is a lot for 11:40pm. lol

Sick kid

Was up most of the night with my youngest. Poor guy, he seems fine now, but I'm waiting to see who comes down with it next in the house. Since I ate off his plate last night, I'm waiting for it to be me. :(

Tomorrow is his last football games and I'm glad he'll be ok to play. I'm crossing fingers that hubby doesn't get it since he's one of the coaches.

Oh, speaking of hubby, he just called. They laid him off today. We've been waiting for it as the boss is an ass, but it still pisses me off. Makes me want to go down there and tell the pretty boys how stupid they are. Hubby will have another job by the end of the night, or maybe by the time he gets home. lol I can only hope that these 2 guys love working with out him now. But, ignorant people don't ever get it do they? They just want someone to bough and kiss their ass. Not going to happen with either of us that's for sure. :)

2 1/2 weeks

One week and one day left of new or review material and then one week of finals. I can't wait! This will signify the half way point for the course and I can definitly use the time to get stuff done around here. Atleast the house isn't as messy this term. I guess I must be getting used to the schedule at least a little bit. lol

Bad mood day!

I'm in a no-good-very-cranky mood today. I've put off a presentation that needs to be done tonight. (my fault completely) Then we have the millionth field trip since school started. Pumpkin patch is usually fun, but for some reason we can't go to the best one in the state that is 2 miles from the school. Nooooo, we have to waste our gas and drive all the way down to the valley. So stinkin stupid. I purposely signed up for my presentation tonight because next week is always our school autumnfest. Not this year! Nooooo, they are doing it tonight. Major ticked about that. Hubby has to work, so I will be paying a sitter to go with the kids. Don't mind paying for the food, usually do that and it's cheap good pizza. But, then to find out they are charging for some of the games this year. WTF!

Then the weekend is packed full and I have to go to class on Sunday for CPR/First aid. Wouldn't normally make me cranky, but we had class last Sat. So this is 2 weekends in a row of class. Major cranky about that, no one told me they did that when I signed up! I'm so leaving class early tonight. I need a bubble bath and a good cry. Then I can just get over myself and move on. lmao

Bra sale

We all need them, so why not get them at the best price? Buy 2, get 2 free on name brand bras is an incredible deal. For the best support, new bras should be purchased every 6 months. You also need at least 3 so you can wear one while you are washing the others. Take care of yourself and feel like a sexy Momma ;)

New week starting

I have lot's of stuff due this week at school. And I need to get a lot of site work done. So, the planner is full of times to work on each and I'm going to start the week fresh by going to bed early tonight. bahahaha, we'll just have to see if that happens though. I'm such a night person.

Family is off doing their own thing today and the house is staying clean after I clean it. They should all be home soon, so we'll see how long it can last. Dinners in the crockpot and ready when they are. It's been a peaceful day with just me and the dogs. Now it's time to work on laundry and homework. :( May as well do both of the evils at the same time!

Using the planner

Alright, so the key to owning a planner is to use it. Doesn't matter what kind you get if you don't take it places with you. lol So, it's been going everywhere with me and I think we are bonding pretty well. It's being used and my notes, assignments and test dates, and to-do lists are all in there. It's good to have it all in one place and not on notes floating around the house.

I didn't get as much done this week as I'd hoped, but oh well. I got the important stuff done and there's always next week for the rest. Off to school now for yet another test.

Spread too thin

I've loaded my plate with way too much. It's time to prioritize and enjoy school again. I've got projects going in every direction and none of them are getting completed.

I'm also on the lookout for a good planner. I'm so sick of these little one's that have no room to write in. See, one more thing to add to my list of ideas. Design a planner that freakin' works!!!

Spamming in full force

Well, boy they are just on it here lately. I've never had the spam problems like I have in the last couple of weeks. You guys are incredible. It must be sad to live in your little worlds, with your little minds, all alone. Good luck with all that and give my best to your online girl/boyfriend.

The bar

I went out last night to meet hubby and his new "bosses" buddies from work. I was looking forward to staying home, but it was necessary to meet everyone. Plus, this way I knew hubby wasn't needing to drive home.

It was a good time. We left early because I set it up that way. Remember I didn't want to go. lol So I set it up that I needed to be home by 9. K, it was 9:45. Anyway, my bitch is this. One of the guys was there and his girlfriend showed up. She's cool, but she made a comment that has me completely pissed and steaming. People ask my age and I have no problem saying 32. It's young, and only a number. But, when I said it, she said she knew I we were young. WTF does that mean? I know I'm not immature, I know I'm not ignorant, I also know that I can hold my own in any freakin' conversation you want to have. So what is meant by that comment? I'm sure I'm being a "girl" and reading way too much into it. But, it just pissed me off. Hopefully by typing it out I will be fine now. lol

Happy Birthday Hubby!

I spoiled him this year. He's only had 1 day off since he started the new job on Sept. 5. I bought him the new Ipod Nano. Only the 2GB, because the 4 has a bazillion mile long waiting list. lol But, he was surprised and happy. Now we just need to figure out how to use it. His brother has most of his cd's ripped onto his computer, so we are going to go over there next weekend.

I'm so happy to be able to say I can go to their house during the day or for dinner. I'm going to love this new freedom of weekends off. Our term gets over on Nov. 11 and then I know I will be able to take the cert. test. That is right in time to start taking holiday clients!!!Woohoo!

K, on to waste my mind and finish watching Medium. I'm so excited it's back on. Now I just need my Boston Legal and I'm set. Tivo gets here in the morning;) Just in time for the finally's of BB6 and INXS.

work no more

Well, not completely, but only 8 hours a week away from home. Yippee! I'm so happy. I have 3 sites now that need attention, plus 2 more in the works. I don't have time to leave the house unless it's for school. I'm so excited about all of this. I've found a renewed energy as I've seen the sites form the way I like them.

School started and the kids seem to like their classes. I think we may have found our groove for homework, but we'll see. We have a field trip to the fair on Wed. and it's the last time I'll get to go for school. My baby is in 2nd grade now and it's the last year they do the fair. :( Just one of the facts of life I guess.

Well off to stare at code for a few hours. I have friends spending the night for each of the kids. Lot's of uninterupted time on the computer. lol
