Ughh to Monday

My weekend has been spent working on a meaningless paper. The paper in question has absolutely nothing to do with my research. Nonetheless it is an assignment that was due tonight. All day Saturday and Sunday were spent writing this paper. I am pretty sure my professor will rip it to shreds just like he has done to the previous 2 papers. Luckily I still have an A and only 5 weeks left.

Junie destroyed yet another roll of toilet paper. I have pics but haven't uploaded the evidence yet. And to make things worse I just broke my new coffee pot. I was getting ready to fill it and iI dropped it in the sink and it shattered! Now if you know me you know I need my coffee in the morning. I usually drink it on the way to work. So watch out all you I-85 commuters in the morning....TeacherApril is coming through and it won't be pretty if you get in my way!!!! Thanks goodness for Dunkin' Donuts and the wonderful "barista" (haha) at the drive thru.... Oh my poor 2nd grade kiddos better hope the coffee kicks in by 8 a.m.

I'm a bad kitty mom...

I was getting ready this morning and didn't know Junie was behind me. I stepped on her paw. Normally this would only make me feel bad for a few minutes, but she was declawed last Wednesday. She made a loud squeal and ran off. Now her paw is bleeding and we are waiting for the vet to open...

So my new Flip Ultra Video camera (thanks Carrie!)came today and I love it! I have taken a few videos today. I hope to make a few more this weekend with my family. Addie is overcoming her video shyness a little. I can't wait to get some of Alivia on this thing! Enjoy!

3 weeks? That's it?

I can't believe I have to go back to work in 3 weeks. I know...poor me. I feel like I just got used to sleeping in, sitting on the couch drinking coffee as long as I want to, maybe taking a shower-maybe not, reading by the pool, staying up past 9 p.m., and just overall relaxing with nothing much to do. This summer was a little better than last summer though....I am glad I was able to take care of my mom and watch her learn to walk again, but I am glad I was able to spend most of my time in my own home. I have found that I am a homebody. I love being at home whether it is by myself or with company.

This week Addie is here. She keeps me busy! Last week she was here for 3 days and then left for a few days with my parents. I was glad to have a little peace and quiet but I did miss her. Gracie didn't though....a whole other story! We have gone to the pool, Target x 3, Chili's, eaten Mexican food, waited out thunderstorms, and watched Facts of Life over and over and over.... Addie has made 2 new friends with Skippyjon and Junie B. They love her and she is obsessed with them. She cuddles with Skippy and he just falls asleep in her arms. Junie on the other hand will not cuddle at all. She only wants to be in your lap on her own terms. Skippy might be making a new home in TN. Addison has (finally) stopped sucking her thumb and as a possible reward she might be taking Skippy home with her. I will miss Skippy but I know that he will be well taken care of---and of course I will get to see him often.

I guess that's it for now....the pool is calling my name!
