Vacation has come and gone and I'm just now sitting down to write about it. I suppose I've been a little bit busy...
Vacation was GREAT! The day before we left I convinced my best friend Rachel to tag along and bring the Hadlett with her. I didn't have to twist her arm too much ;) One thing about this years trip is that we only got to stay a few nights. Due to my summer school schedule we couldn't stay any longer than that. Also, it rained and was over cast most of the time we were there. Somehow we still managed to get too much sun. lol. Even though it was a little damp we still had a great time. The beach was of course my fave. I really think if I had a job and a house to go to I could move down there. Maybe one day....
Since we've been back things have been pretty slow paced. I've felt kinda guilty for not being the "on the go" step momma the past couple of weeks, BUT I needed to slow down a notch. I'm still going to one class but it ends next week, and then I get a couple weeks off before the fall semester starts. I can't believe how fast this summer has went by! The kids are great :) Infact, they all helped clean house this morning. They didn't volunteer but they didn't whine about it too much so I'll just be thankful for that. My MIL got Joey some noise canceling earphones and he actually was able to vacuum this morning. It was so sweet. It may not seem like much, but Joey has been fixated on vacuums for months now. He draws dozens of pictures a day of different types and brands. He even builds forts and calls it the "Part's Store" and sells "part's" to fix broken vacuums. Also, he has built a bagless vacuum out of Mega Blocks and likes to clean up bits of paper and dryer lint. lol. I think it's kinda been a dream of his to use the real vacuum but the noise was too much for his sensitive ears. Now that he has the head phones he is so excited to do the vacuum chore!
Dieting has also been in the picture for both Chris and I. We have been using My Fitness Pal for a few weeks now. Chris has already had to take his belt in a notch and my clothes aren't so snug. Why do men lose weight quicker than women? I think it's garbage.
I feel like I have so much that I should be writing but the thoughts aren't forth coming. I did take the GACE yesterday which was not as difficult as I expected but after sitting in a desk for 4 straight hours and having your head down looking at questions and reading passages.... I was EXHAUSTED. Plus, I had a horrible headache. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I passed it so that I'll be in the teaching program come January!!!
How do ya'll like the new layout? Thank you kindly to my tech savvy friend Rach :)
Better get off here it's lunch time and the 4 monsters are hungry....
