spring break...( was that an arm, or a leg??)

I am dragging butt today.
Yesterday in class- we had a pracitical "mock-up" to see how many of the insturments and their classifications we knew. I did alright. The ones I missed I knew why, and it was stupid mistakes that I would have realized if I had checked over my answers before I had handed in my paper...The real practical is on tuesday.

School has just been speeding along. Most days I feal like I am up to my neck, just treading water. But I think I am actually GETTING IT! (halajula!)

Things at home are pretty much the same. I put things off until the last miniute and then franticlly run around to get them all fixed up.(damn procrastinators)
The kids are off for spring break...wish it was nicer outside.

Adam had the kids do "slave labor" all day yesterday as punishment for being little brats the night before while I was at school. Witch ment I got to follow all of them around all day yesterday and nag...fun,fun. They did do alot to help though, and maby if I keep having them help, eventually I won't have to follow them around and nag.My oldest daughter cut her beautiful hair...so we had to go and have it fixed. It is a dora-like bob with the back sort of tapered down a bot. Looks super cute and easy to fix!

only a mother....

This weekend my Mom came over and in a whirlwind of a miniute, she had my kitchen cleaner then I had been able to in a month. Not that it was TOO messy, simply that I am the worlds most disorganized person, and clutter tends to pile because I don't know where to put it.

Despite my best protests, she had the kitchen under control in a matter of miniutes the way only a mother can. We put some chicken in the crock pot and headed out to go treasure hunting...(thift store hopping!)

In our ventures I procured another pair of shoes for my youngest,as he had been wearing his sisters old pink shoes for the last week or two. I still insist that I will not buy him another pair though, if he loses these!!

Also, I found my other son (the 7 year old) a dicky-like country boy coat that should last through a couple of kids...

In other news : my little brother got his first car this weekend!
