It crept up on us!

Cooper woke up from his restless nap yesterday and had a temp. Man I hate when these things creep up on us! He felt fine and everything before that and then, bam... (emeril) he's sick. I think Nate might stay home with him today because I, of course, have to make my final presentation today. I hate sending a sick kid to someone else's house, especially if they have kids too. I'm telling you, it's the worst! Hopefully he will feel better quickly because we have a fun couple of days planned. Oh well, nothing as bad as missing Christmas with the fam like he did this year because he was sick! Oh boy.

Our week long journey

Well Nate and I are going up north for the next few days and then going to WI for the fourth. We will basically be gone for over a week... that is a lot of packing and planning for mommy. I ask Nate to get his stuff ready and he's like, "all I need is a couple pairs of shorts and underwear and some tshirts", I'm like... "all I need is to do is everything else! Food, drinks, all of coopers stuff (toys, swim stuff, food, blankets, bath stuff... etc), make sure the cooler is packs, nate is ready, car is packed, and lastly all my stuff. It must be nice to be married to a crazy control freak when it comes to packing and organizing for something like this... Nate is lucky that I do everything... he just worries about his clothes...

A million things at once

Does this ever happen to you... a sudden wave of feeling overwhelmed?  Sometimes it just sneaks up on you and you get that tingling in your face and get kind of sweaty and start thinking about a million things at once?  Man I hate that.  Today I was on my way to school and I wasn't feeling that great anyways (I hate this weather) and I just started to get all clamming and than it just caved... I was thinking about all of this stuff... School, work, kids, family, marriage, money, cleaning... and so on.  Its like if one area of your life feels out of control, than the rest of it follows. 

I feel like if you can fix one of the issues quickly than things seem to right themselves again and it is one more thing off of your table... (only to put something else back up there later, but I don't have time to worry about that now)  So I skipped class today and I sent my husband and child out of the house so I can get busy cleaning!  I think a lot of my stress is coming from having a disorganized, messy, cluttered house!  My poor mother could kill me and my family for bringing and causing all the havic in her house, so I want to do something about it and I know I will feel better if I can just get it cleaned... accomplishment is a good stress reliever.  

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!

Deadliest Catch

I found my new obsession... The Deadliest Catch!!!  I'm sorry but I just can't help watch it!  These crazy crab fishermen are out of their minds but they can make a heck of a lot of money.  At the end of one season (5 days) each person made 27,000!  Holy s. balls.  I wish.  Maybe tupperware will pick up and I can make that kind of money without risking my life in the crazy Bering Sea.  I'm serious... if you play one episode of any series to me, I am hooked!

Summer School

Well after being in school for a million years, today is my official first day of summer class.  I have never taken a summer class and I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of work and very tiring because I will be driving back and forth from home to St. Cloud 4 days a week for 5 weeks.  Yuck!  At least I can finally see the light at the end of the school tunnel!

The Ol' Switcheroo...

How come on days like this (cold and rainy) are the days that I feel most productive?  All I really want to do is get the cleaning done and bake.  It's weird.  Aren't these days supposed to be the ones where you cuddle up on the couch and don't leave?  Hmm... Well I have banana bread to make, cheers.
