has this been the longest week ever? i knew this would happen ... i was talking about it last week. i figured this week would be long and tiring. because after all ... the last two weeks were fairly easy. what with christmas and new years in there ... and having some extra days off work. so this was really the first week being back to a full week. and i was right ... this week feels never-ending.
it hasn't been a super crazy week. hasn't been a bad week. just a long one. even on the fairly easy day i had ... it just seemed like i accomplished nothing. i have had some scrapbook stuff out to work on ... some paperwork that needed taken care of ... some forms to fill out and mail off for things. and for some reason i just couldn't find the time to sit and do any of those things. it was as if i couldn't take even 5 minutes straight to give my attention to any one thing (excluding the kids ... i took very good care of them for the record. lol!). i did manage to take care of my paperwork finally tonight ... my little pile on the kitchen counter is gone. signed up for my refresher infant/child cpr and first aid class ... that is seriously going to kill me to sit for 8 hours straight. filled out choir forms for the girls. ordered school spirit tshirts for the girls. paid a few bills. all homework is signed and ready for tomorrow.
and i even managed to scrap tonight. i have some stuff that i seriously need to work on. only thing is i happen to go out last night to take care of a few errands ... and stumbled upon a ton of new scrapbook stuff! so now ... the "new" new stuff is distracting me from the "other" new stuff. and i'm confused ... i don't know what i want to use first. lol! i came up with a brilliant idea tonight ... since i wanted to scrap but didn't want to think too much. i just have to journal my page and i'll share it tomorrow. hoping to do 2 more ... i have something in mind already. we'll see how tomorrow goes. after all ... tomorrow is friday!!! that means we've made it through this week ... so how bad can it be?!?! lol!
and before i go ... i have to share the funniest thing i heard all week. i get a ton of amusement from these kids ... my own kids and the daycare kids. so many funny things and crazy stories. have to start writing more of them down. but this one was HILARIOUS.
- info you need to remember for this story ... nikolas is 6 months, haley is 14 months, and ariana is 4 yrs old going on 16! so i'm sitting in the rocking chair, feeding nikolas his bottle. haley was playing ... but all of the sudden she just flipped her switch and decided she was pissed (she does that when she's tired ... her mood can literally change within minutes). since i was feeding nikolas i told her she would have to wait a minute ... but she was not thrilled that i wasn't picking her up. so ariana comes over to me ... looks me straight in the eyes, scrunches up her forehead, and gets super serious. then she tells me ... "laura, i don't think you know how to take care of babies very good!" omg ... it was the most hilarious thing i have ever heard! just the way she said it ... which is the way she tells me so many things ... and why i always laugh when talking to her. lol!
here's to tomorrow ... and hoping that this coming weekend lasts just as long as this week seems to have! lol!
just sending you some *hugs*... this too shall pass :) the week is ending..next week will be better!
ps : try playing on webkinz world for a few mins if you have time... LOL.. its fun and takes your mind off things...

Oh Laura hope your day goes good today. My week has been crazy as well (I am sure you have figured that out since I haven't even called you LOL). I had to register 17 new kids this week at school and drop 18 it and that's just been in the last three days who knows what today will bring. I actually stopped yesterday afternoon and prayed that God would keep the office quiet for the rest of the day so I could get my work done. Which by the way he did but I was still here from 7:30 am until 6:00 pm.
Hope you have a great day and I will call this week end.
