Last weekend, we headed north with another couple and enjoyed two nights sans kids. As nice as it was to have a break from the kids, it was good to get home and snuggle with them too. We filled our weekend with lots of fun things that left us all pretty tired this week. I don't know what it is about vacations that makes you even more tired when you return. This week, we have just been dragging.
This week I was on "vacation" from my EMT class. The instructor actually had vacation which left the students with a week off. It was a welcomed treat. I was able to get some good study time in for the tests I had this week (2 EMT, 1 NUR & 1 A&P). I also had some time to get the laundry all caught up and folded. Now if it would magically sort itself and put itself away, we'd be in business. Actually, 90% of it is put away. However, when all the laundry is 100% caught up, you begin to realize just how many clothes we all have (and could part with)! Maybe I'll do some sorting over the next few weeks.
Next week, I have an appointment to turn in my nursing program application. Please Please send up some prayers for me. I could really use some good news on it. I won't know anything until December, I believe. I hate waiting!! *sigh*
The kids had a good week at school. Jacob was able to return on Monday and has steadily been trying to keep up with his assignments. It's been a tough thing for him. He struggles but we're slowly gaining ground. He did bring home a progress report Thursday that made me extremely proud. He received an A- in MATH! It seriously brought tears to my eyes!! He even took it to his football coach who pulled him aside and gave him great praise.
Austin, Katelyn & Emilee really have nothing new to report. They are all doing well in class and having a good time with their friends. Emilee's teacher is expecting her first little bundle of joy next month. Emilee tells me almost every day that her teacher is only going to have one not five like me. :) Silly girl!
Jonathon has been super clingy this week. I suppose he has good reason to be. Afterall, we dropped him off at the sitters Friday and didn't return until Sunday. Now when I drop him off, he squeals, screams and cries. It tugs at my heart, for sure. If I could tuck him in my book bag and take him to class with me, I would. Unfortunately, it's just not an option so I must endure that heartbreaking few moments of leaving the sitters. She reassures me that he's just fine within a minute or two and he seems perfectly content when I pick him up. I'm sure it's just the thought process he has that his momma's going to leave him for good. :(
I'll continue this update tomorrow, hopefully. For now, I'm going to try to get this little night own into bed and asleep. We've been tormenting Daddy as he sleeps by playing a little football on our kind sized bed. :) Jonathon has had quite a few "SCORES" as he shouts!! Now he's making me turtle sit and his dad is teddy bear sitting (as he sleeps). He's being very very silly tonight.
Well update tomorrow after the football games. :)
Have a great day.
