I finally have time to make an entry! Things have been nuts. I had my final last Thursday night, which I thought I did well on until I checked my grades and found the number 66.5 italicized and in parentheses on the class website. I'm hoping this is only half of the grading on the test because I know I did better than a D! On the other hand, I ( Read more... )

I just sent off my two papers for my classes this semester. Now I just have to get through the final next week and I'm set until next semester. Though, that may just kill me with three classes and TO starts Baby'N'Me with my former boss as his teacher. I can't wait ( Read more... )

Some quick things to report: There was another attempt on the frog's life last night as I came out this morning to find the tank all askew and space enough next to it for a big fat cat (Haley--he's the only one big enough to move the tank) to lay next to it. Also, my papers are done and I have started studying for my final ( Read more... )

We got two estimates today on our furnace. They were about a thousand dollars off from each other, but both fairly expensive. We did, however, know this going in. Tim had set up a home equity line in order to do it sooner. Now he is freaking out about the cost and does not want to do the home equity line or the furnace. I'm freaking a little ( Read more... )

So TO was up again in the middle of the night last night. No wet diaper, no illness. I think he just wanted to practice waving "bye-bye" since he learned that yesterday. I'm not kidding about that--ask doctors and they will tell you that babies do this because they get so excited about learning new things. It is so funny to watch him mimic your ( Read more... )

I should be writing my short paper, but I've had a rough day so I'm slacking off ( Read more... )

One week after the Thanksgiving party and my house is already a complete mess again. Though, in my defense, I did finish my 11-page paper for my one class, and Tim was gone for two days, so that meant I had even less time than usual for picking up/cleaning. I don't do a lot of thorough cleaning anymore. Although I am a stickler now about ( Read more... )

My friend had her baby today! It was a girl--7 lbs (I missed the oz because TO was talking) and 20 in long. I'm very happy for her. Right now I have to go take care of my own little screamer who is exhausted but will not nap.

Tomorrow we get out the Christmas tree, which means lots of cleaning and rearranging of my household. Much of the "office" that is still in the living room will be migrated to the newly created storage upstairs. The computer will stay as will the printer until classes are over. However, the printer and all paperwork related to the office will be ( Read more... )
