What do you get a two year old...

that has pretty much everything?

Ethan is turning 2 in 12 days and I have absolutely no idea what to get him for his birthday. I don't even know what kind of a cake to make...

HE WON'T TALK...

My thought is to take him into Michaels where we have all sorts of cake pans and decorations and let him point and grunt at the one he wants. Actually, if he find one he wants he'll giggle while he points.

Here's my other dilemma. We don't need any more toys...and sure as heck don't want any more. We have loads of books and he has tons of clothes from his brother.

As I'm typing this I'm realizing that the kids is going to be two...why am I stressing, it's not like he's gonna remember it. So, maybe we'll go out to dinner and have cupcakes. Sounds like a plan to me!

Thanks for listening to my rambling!!!

And the countdown begins...

It may be a bit premature to start a countdown, but I have 17 weeks left until I'm done with school! Yippee Skippee!!! I think I need to make a paper chain and tear off a link every week.

I have 4 courses left. Two of which I just started last week and boy am I going to be swamped. At least I know I'll be able to carry on a conversation full of medical terms with all of my health care professional friends and family members.

In May, if I want, I can walk in the commencement exercises in Spokane. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I think we may be making a trip to Spokane in a few months...complete with hotel stay, cause a graduation is worth it dang it!

So, here I go, back to homework...hopefully I'll be able to keep my head above water these next 17 weeks!

you want me to what?

In 8 weeks Jon is going to be running another 1/2 marathon. This one is going to be the same one he ran last yer in April. It's going to be in Wennatchee, Washington. No problem, it's a nice drive, we're going to try and find someone to watch the kids...there's great shopping...I'm excited.

Then it hits..."why don't you run too?" HUH????

I hate running. Despise it actually. My knees hurt when I run, It totally sucks when you add distance to the equation as well. But my mind has been thinking. They have a 10K and that is half of a 1/2 marathon....so maybe. Who knows, it might be a great way to kick off summer...if I don't fall and hurt myself that is...

I'll keep ya posted.

Oh Happy Day!

I am beginning to feel a little bit lighter and my shoulders are lifting.  I have turned in three of my four finals for this set of courses and boy does it feel good.  This set has been 2 weeks longer than the rest because of the holidays and the min-break they gave us.  So, for the last 11 weeks I've had algebra and communication on my mind...it's been pretty busy!  I do have to say though that it's been pretty easy to get things done with the kids around and they are finally figuring out that mommy needs to have some time to do homework.  Just 18 weeks left, 4 more courses and then GRADUATION!!!  I can't believe I'm as close as I am! YAY!!!

I saw this graphic and kinda sympathized with it.  It looks like it's tired and worn out!  I feel the exact same way! 

 

And on an even lighter note,

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend with those you love!
