I say this, because I know it is possible-to be a mom, be a full time + student, wife and everything else to everyone. It isn't to say that there isn't a price to pay-for instance, my sanity. :O)

I found out this morning that I got a B on my Abnormal Psychology test. It was a tough test. It was mainly multiple choice, which isn't hard, and there were 5-6 essay's on there, which I am fairly good at (because I like to write and talk, and am very verbal, can you guess?) but the hard part was two things actually...there were 11 people who were credited in some way with bringing about change in the way the mental health profession has been brought about. This spanned from the ancient greek time-middle ages and through recent years. ELEVEN PEOPLE! The thing that made it hard was that they all were humanitarians and they all did similar things, so how do you choose that in these answers? It left many questions with 2 possible answers, which is hard. I only missed 6. There were only two B's in the class, the rest were C's, D's and F's. There were around 13 people to that took the test. Anywho-THE FIRST TEST IS DOWN AND OUT! WAHOO! That is the hardest part. I plan (note: plan-to do something with intention) to take two quizes in my online health class tonight. This is not always easy when I assume I can do it when kids are in bed. One time I did it, Matthew was downstairs goofing around when we thought he was in bed sleeping and he UNPLUGGED MY MODEM AND ROUTER while I was taking an online test. That bites. Fortunately I spoke with my instructor and explained what happened and she made an exception and reset that test for me. I ended up with a 10/10!

So, the weather is GLORIOUS outside! I know I keep saying that on Face Book and on here, but it just IS! I am so not motivated to do anything physical, but I am motivated to cook something so I have a meatloaf and scalloped cheesy potatoes in the oven. My house smells sooooo yummy! Drop by if you are hungry!!! There MIGHT be brownies for dessert.

Callie-Lilly...and Random...

We had to let Miss Callie go to the farm. She was a little naughty. But we will always love her and we know that she will be happier being back out on a farm and not stuck inside all the time. Some of the things I really loved about Callie was that she was a beautiful cat, so long and lanky. She had the body of a siamese cat. She was also very quick and precise! She never missed a thing! We know that our family is really just a one-cat kind of family and though we will miss her a great deal, we still have our Bella.

The girlers were pretty sad that she had to leave, but they understood better than I thought they would. This was their last moments with her. She is going to be missed for sure.

Here is Madison laughing it up for me the other day. It is hilarious because up until now, she had a laugh quota for the day. Used to be that you could only get her to laugh once a day and that was it...now just threaten to tickle her and you cant get her to stop!

tEsTiNg...Is tHiS tHiNg On???

Today was my first test of the semester. It was my 8 am class (Abnormal Psychology). I know I passed it, but I am sure it is with a B or a C. There were 4 questions I was fairly unsure of...but I was not the only one who questioned some of the answers (could have been more than one answer on some..others I just didn't know). That is way too early of the day to test in anything!!!

I am addicted to Farmville on Facebook. That is about the only thing I like about it. I have found many of my school mates though, which was fun to see where they have been all this time. Anyway, its been a long week. Really has been productive, but I am tired... nonetheless

My dad seems to be feeling a little better, though we are still concerned about him. HANG IN THERE DAD! LOVE YOU!

UmMm...NoT sO gOoD...

Today has not been such a good day. First I find out that my dad had a stroke (although minor, but still) which is enough to stop the world for me, then one of my children comes up missing (again world stopping!!!) and now while working on laundry I find the cutest pair of capri pants that I just got and wore ONCE is ruined...Not so world stopping but hey, what is NEXT???

A DaY iN tHe LiFe Of..

my two year old.

Today we went to walmart to buy some kitty litter. Madison wouldn't nap, so we went ahead and went before we had to go to pick up brother from school. He gets out early, and then 45 minutes later we get Bethanie. So, I asked her to find some shoes. I was thinking about cute blue crocks or something easy. She comes out with the pinkest snow boots she could find (they are her sisters). Don't think for a second I could convince her that it was 95 degrees outside and she needed to wear something different. So, on to the store we go. While she was there, people told her how much they loved her shoes and how cute she was. I KNEW THAT! :OP Anyway, we went past the clothing isle and she says, "Mommy, buy me a cute shirt?" I soooooooo wanted to after that. It was so cute!

FuN TiMe...

I told you a while back that I look like my mother!

This proves it!

We posed for this picture, neither of us knowing what the other was doing.

We are so weird.

My family met at my parents house and he had a good ole' fashioned BBQ. We had a great time. Neighbor kids came by and played with our children which was nice too. Then it was quickly over and was time to come back home. We had a great time. Love you mom and dad!
