My past week...

So new life for me... my routine is so different now! I started back to school last Tuesday night and last week was one CRAZY week for me. I had to learn how I was going to juggle my time working on HOMEwork, HOUSEwork, and be a good mom/wife and still take a few moments for myself (so I won't fall into a depression and not be able to function at all!!!) So I think I have it down (slightly). Like today I got up (after 5 1/2 hrs of sleep) and got the kids ready and off to school, then I came home and switched laundry (got it started before taking kids to school), and got working on homework(Math) (thanks Dora & Diego for keeping Macee entertained!!!), switched laundry, worked on more homework, switched laundry (you get the idea), went and voted (yeah, no shower yet... went in my comfy shorts, t-shirt and bandanna on my head... of course we run into people from the ward, go figure!), came home, got Macee lunch and settled for a nap (in front of Dora), she fell asleep, I showered and got ready, then the house was quiet, so I got in some more studying (BIO) and now here I am with a few minutes before kids get home and I start piano lessons (from 3-430), then head off for my long night at school (5-10pm). I am looking forward to after school though, because Fawn, Tisha and Karen are taking me out for my b-day (sorry the only time I can go is 10pm, but that's my new life!!! You girls are GREAT!!!). So by the time I get home I will be ready to crash and get up tomorrow and get ready for a fun-filled day of pedicures and lunch... BTW, I love to celebrate my b-day for like a whole week... can you tell? Life on Tuesday's may always be CRAZY, but I'm glad I'm going back to school and getting my degree! It will be worth it in the end! Oh- a few picture highlights from the week...

Chuck decided to try a new look with his facial (Thanks a lot Devon...)

Back to School Night (I think it's called curriculum night). Chuck is going to be a great Mr. Mom... taking kids where they need to go, being a PTO parent... you name it, he's going to do what he can! YEA Chuck!!!

Maddy in her class (isn't her hair getting so long???)

Tyler (HATES to have his picture taken,

this is the best one Chuck got of him)

And I took Macee and Garrett to the Zoo on Wednesday for Playday. It was lots of fun. Garrett hasn't been since he was so little that he didn't even know what he would see. When I asked the kids on the way to the Zoo what animal they wanted to see, he said, "A kitty". Funny kid! He loved it and Macee enjoyed spending the morning with Garrett.

Well... now the kids are home and I got to get going on everything else that I have going on! I'll post more later!
