Time flies...

Yet another weekend is upon us and we're not taking a second to relax. After getting up this morning at 5:30 (to make the 45 minute drive to school and sit through a 3 hour class, I drove back exhausted. Even more exhausted when I thought of all the cleaning I had in store for me. So, after feeling sorry for myself, I walked in the door, scooped up the 2 year old and we layed down for a two hour nap. Then, Franklin and I took the kids outside to play. Usually it's Franki takes the kids and I surrender to house work. But, today watching them I realized that house work would always be available and the kiddos wouldn't. So, it's 8 PM, and I'm typing this as I watch Caleb play in the bath. After he goes to bed, Ashlynn and I are going to have a "slumber party" and do our nails. Gotta make time for the important stuff now, or it'll pass me by.

Hope everyone is laying low and enjoying the small moments this weekend!

What a week...

Wow....please pardon my tone, but geez! Caleb has decided that he doesn't want to sleep all night. Which would be fine, but when he wakes up he screams until one of us lays down on his floor. Now, for the past four days, he has decided he wants to sleep on the floor too. What is that about?! So, no sleep and the little we've gotten has been done in shifts. Anyone has any ideas, please share, b/c I'm tired!

Mom just left the other day and ended up stuck in Dallas overnight, but she's now home and fine. We've been trying to talk her into moving out here to North Carolina, but she's not committing to us yet. :)

Surviving Christmas

So, Franklin and I went and saw Four Christmases at the movies last night. Hysterical, but more importantly, made me realize that we had survived Christmas 2008 unscathed! Which is impressive considering we do four different family Christmas's in two days. I didn't get to go back to Texas this year, but mom was here and it's been nice having an extra set of hands around! I actually had a break from classes and start back next week, so I'm trying to pump myself back up for that semester too. Otherwise, we working on Ashlynn learning to read and Caleb getting out of diapers--all in all, my household is insane!!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
