Ugh I can not believe that it is already almot Friday, where has this week gone.

School is really kicking my backside…..

Taking them on only Mondays and Wednesdays I though would give me the rest of the week to get things done around the house… but so far I’m only trying to recuperate these days…..

My life seems to be constantly getting ready for a race….. like my son and his cross country team here…..

I am waiting for things to settle down, to get into a schedule that really works… and trying to get Emmy to go to sleep earlier so that my 5am wake up call is not comming after a night ending at 11 or 12……

my little night owl……
