I'm so sorry for not posting in a long time. It seems like everything has been super crazy in my house hold that I just needed a moment to focus on family, school and work. I have one more stressful week with my crazy schedule and then the madness of my Maymester class will begin and will last me 14 days sitting in a 4 hour class every night. Pure MADNESS!
On to what I really am posting about today....
Today I am posting a link to my friends blog. Please go read it and share it with everyone you know! Her latest blog is one that needs to be passed along. Even if it doesn't effect you, you could possibly pass it on to someone who at this moment might need to hear her words! This is my PROMISE to her! By sharing we are putting a voice to something that hasn't had a voice and hopefully an end to so many lives that shouldn't be ended.
So go grab your tissues and sit down for a moment to read. Then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pass this on! Facebook it, Tweet, Blog it or Email. You could be saving lives today!

What! A day off!
I'm sitting here in my not so clean, kid and husband empty house. It's Thursday and what I had to do to get a weekday off with this insane schedule of mine was totally worth it! Monday and Wednesday were brutal. I woke up and got the kids to daycare then off to work. After work I went to school for 3 hours to try and learn about poetry....ugh. I can't wait until this class is over. Me + Poetry = NO LOVE!! Then after class it was straight back to work! I don't remember the last time I had a day off to just sit and relax and do nothing. So here has been my day so far.
- Took kiddos to daycare
- Stopped by the 7-11 to throw away trash and scrapped the car on the trash can
- Burned my oatmeal
- Broke a bowel in half..now I'm down to 3.
- Spilled part of The Hubs tea on me at lunch

Busy, busy and did I mention busy?
Last week my household was very busy. OK maybe not crazy busy but with my schedule I feel like I just never stop. I have gone back to school which means I have lost my mind. I have school Monday and Wednesday 2-5. I now have to work Monday-Saturday to make sure I have enough hours for the week. Yes if you are keeping track I only have Sundays off. Me and the kids get home at 6 p.m. every night. Then I go do my run. Come home to cook dinner, clean up some, get the kids to ready for bed, get them in bed and make sure clothes are clean for the next morning. Oh I forgot that I have to eat at some point. Get myself ready for bed and then it's lights out, finally! Yes this schedule is the one I have chosen until May when this class is over. And then my next class will be Texas history for 2 weeks 4 hours a day Monday-Friday! Crazy I know! So yes with just work, school and having a family my cup is overflowing, spilling on the floor and I do not have a towel to clean it up with.
Now to add to an already full week, me and The Hubs bought Miss Grace tickets to see "Dare to Dream" Disney Princesses on ice. Let me just say that it was TOTALLY WORTH GOING! I might have been a little more excited than Miss Grace was. It was like one of my childhood dreams coming true! They showcased Tiana from "Princess and the Frog." Next was "Cinderella" and finally what Miss Grace had been waiting for "Tangled!" Rapunzel was by far my favorite also. She flew around the stage like a "Cirque Du Soleil" acrobat and to finish it off they even had the floating lanterns. Miss Grace even made it out with a few souvenirs. Not because she saw the merchandise table and wanted one of everything. She was quite content with her Rapunzel braided crown of hair. It was me and The Hubs who were sucked into getting her everything else. I think those tables are impulse buys for parents because you see other kids with all the light up toys, cups and t-shirts and you think "Oh no! My child has to have one of everything!" So then you end up leaving having spent their college savings. Sorry my children, you will now have to pay for college on your own because me and Daddy spent it on crap that will be put into the yard sale pile in a matter of weeks. It made Miss Grace the happiest girl in the world so it was all worth it. I'll just let her down easy in 14 years when she needs to pay for her first semester of college.
Next on the agenda was seeing "Hunger Games" on Saturday night. We decided to wait a week so we wouldn't have to deal with the crowds of people and teens for opening weekend. Totally worth the wait! If you have not read the books you are missing out! They are easy, fast reads and pack a lot of action in them. The movie lived up to the book but I do feel that if you read the book first you will understand a lot more of what they don't explain in the movie. You can't pack everything into a 2.5 hour movie that a 27 chapter book has. I just wish that we didn't have to wait until 2013 to see the second book come to the big screen "Catching Fire".
All in all my last week was busy but went by fast. Now it's Monday and time to start the same routine. Let me leave you with a few quotes I have picked up this week. These are real conversations and in no way were they made up. You can't make these up people!
Me-"I'll have a double mocha light."
Starbucks Barista-"Would you also like to buy a pound of coffee today?"
Me-"No that's why I come here!"
My Assistant Manager-"Hi ladies how are you?"
Teenage girl-"Is that your real hair?"
My A.M.-"Yes."
Teenage girl-As she is now toughing my A.M.'s hair "It's so soft! What do you use to make it soft?"
My A.M.-"Whatever hair product is on sale."
Teenage girl-"It's because your white. I'm Italian." (Teenage girl is also white.)
My Sister at the movie theater- "How do you pronounce your name?"
Movie theater waiter-"David."
Happy Monday!
