Oh Yes, Right. I Have A Blog

I haven't forgotten about this blog. Well, maybe just a little bit. I've just been super duper busy. My husband was here and then I've been swamped at work. Finals are upon us. I need to finish writing another exam today. I'm also working on the year end play and it is a lot of work. Rehearsals, costumes, dance numbers, it's insane, but I love it. It's going to be amazing. We had a bake sale to raise money for the show and it was a great success. Who knew you could bake 70 cupcakes and over 100 cookies in a few hours.  On top of all of this, my kids have been taking finals as well and the dog is a very bad boy. More on that later.

On today's to do list. Clean the house, write the exam, dinner (tacos), and if there's time, buy fabric for a costume.  I'm not one of those people who glorifies being busy. I don't like it. I'll be glad when the month is out, school is over and the show is done so I can be lazy again. I'm hoping to go to the beach next week. I miss swimming and I really could use a nice day at the sea.

Now about Buddy. He's about 2 months and a week old and is making me nuts at times. He refuses to go on the paper. It's no fun to find little (sometimes not so little) presents and puddles in your house. The plan was that he would be in the garden. We have a very spacious outdoor area but he has to have taken his second immunization in order to safely let him be outside where sometimes stray cats come around etc. I do not want to risk it because we had a dog before and he passed away after getting a virus because of being exposed without the proper immunization. He also is teething and likes to bite little girl's feet as they walk. Anyone have any advice?  As much as he is naughty sometimes, he's freaking adorable though.

Just thought I'd drop a post and update a little bit, hope someone's still reading. :)

A Much Better Week

Cool.

Aaah, thankfully, I can say I am having a much better week.

It may or may not have a little  a lot to do with the fact that my husband is back home. His mere presence automatically makes my life easier. The kids are better behaved and study when they are told. He fixed a bunch of little things around the house that needed fixing. It's just good to have another parent in the house. He fell in love with our new dog, and took him to get his first vaccine/vet visit. He also took my middle daughter to get her cast off. It's just a huge load off my shoulders to have some help and not feel like I'm alone in this.

I feel a lot more at ease and not angry or resentful. Whatever it is, I'm glad.

Work is good. One month to go. I teach and school is out in a month. It's my first year so it will be interesting to see how I feel over the summer. Whether I'll miss it or how I'll feel.

Tomorrow is my oldest's 16th birthday. I can't believe he is 16. He's a good kid. Loves drawing. I asked him to show his father his drawings but he wasn't too eager but I'm proud of him. I hope he will.  We'll go out to dinner and I'm making his favorite dessert. Peanut butter squares!

Hope you're all doing fine as well and hoping May is a great month for everyone :)
