(my) first week of school

I did it.

I went back to college.
I'm taking English, Art History and PE.
Go ahead, laugh at the PE.
Everyone has.
Oh yeah, it starts at 6:30 am.
Go ahead, laugh again.
So, Melissa, how did your first week of school go?
Well, lets see...
Monday. Really tired.
Really Nervous.
Really Excited.
Tuesday. Really tired.
Excited.
Wednesday. Could I be anymore tired.
Good thing it's my Friday (for this first week, anyway)
I have so much freaking homework.
When you have to read, because someone tells you to, yeah not so fun.
Good thing I have the next four days off.
Online courses might be quite a bit harder then I originally anticipated.
At least I only have one.
Still excited!
Thursday. 4 am.
Oh, crap, I have the stomach flu.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Heavenly Father for keeping me well long enough for my classes to end for the week.
8 am. Savannah "I think I'm gonna puke!"
Okay, the kids were sick. It lasts 12 hours. I'll be fine by 4 pm.
Fevered haze, that I later find out is called Thursday.
Friday. Okay, I'm gonna be better today.
I make it downstairs, that's something at least.
Fever returns Friday night.
Saturday. I've got to be better today!
Still feel like crap.
Sitting at the computer trying to write an essay, that's due by Sunday, on reading that I haven't completed because my brain is so freaking foggy.
Crying.
Mind clears enough to get it done.
(the paper, not the reading)
Go to the Relief Society Broadcast.
Can't make it through the whole thing.
Too tired.
Wake up Sunday morning.
Wonder if I actually slept the night before because it sure doesn't feel like it.
Trying to get ready for church meeting.
Just can't do it.
Attend church.
Start feeling better.
Eat a really yummy dinner.
Feeling a lot better.
Get ready for bed and remember.
I have to go back to school again.

diapers

I forgot to put a footnote on the diaper post...

When I first saw the commercial for these diapers, I laughed, hard.

(The commercial is hysterical...check out youtube if you haven't seen it)

Then I said that was the stupidest thing I ever saw and I questioned who would buy something so ridiculous.

Then I thought about it.

I thought about how Willson never wears clothes.

His choice, not mine.

I dress and redress him 5 times a day.

Well, if he had these he might pass for wearing pants.

Not really, but when he pulls his clothes off at home I won't feel the need to immediately redress him.

So, I looked for the ridiculous diapers.

I found them at Walmart.

$38 for 60.

WHAT???

I can get 82, regular ones, for $19

There went my giggles of watching Willson wear the jean diapers.

Then while laughing about it with my friend she told me I could get them on Amazon.com.

(thanks Amanda)

$19 for 60.

I ordered immediately.

I added a book, so I could get the free shipping,

and ended up saving money.

The book was less than the shipping cost.

Love them. I want to buy more.

1st Day of School 2010

5th Grade...Seriously!

3rd Grade

Kindergarten!!

"take a picture of my foot!"

Special Day

To Our Mason...

Mason, we couldn't be more proud of you. The step you took today, being baptized and officially becoming a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I wish I had a picture of your face as you came out of the water. It made me smile and cry a little at the same time. I've already noticed a change in you since you received the gift of the Holy Ghost. Listen to his promptings. You will be blessed. So many people, who love you, were with you today and celebrated with us. We had a fun time, huh? Tonight, after you went to bed, I noticed your door shut and your light on. I was gonna get mad at you. I opened your door and you were laying in bed reading your scriptures. Sigh. You're amazing Mason. I told you to turn off your light when you were done. Always remember this day. This love. This strength. This peace. Love, love you Mason!
