A Bumpy Ride

One more class period. One last test. And then, hopefully I can get back to regular posting.

Next week will start summer break!Pretty much every Wednesday we will be at our local library. They have little activities for kids to do and it will be a great relief knowing we do have something planned!

Have I told you I like to have plans?

The girls' Play Day was today. I say girls' since Zoa starts kindergarten in August. Pre-K was allowed to come to the Play Day and they had so much fun. Although now when you ask her about big school she says she does not want to go. She is just going to stay in bed all day. (I have pictures and will share soon!)

The real reason I am writing right now is I need help. Although I do not feel comfortable sharing what it is and probably won't, we are having some issues.

Issues that have been happening since the beginning of the year.

And they are turning into something bigger than what I am capable of handling.

I need your prayers. I have come to realize that I cannot fix it and I don't know what to do.

(Our marriage is fine and we are all healthy.)

Menu Plan Monday: The Week of May 15

This is the last full week of school for Macie and Zoa! Thursday will be Zoa's last day at pre-school until her graduation in August. Friday is Macie's last day and we will all be going to her play day at school.

A week from tomorrow is my last day of school until July 26! I have a few things planned for the girls and I to do during the summer but {inexpensive} suggestions would be appreciated! I have never been a SAHM mom so I really need your help!

Nonetheless, here is what we will be eating this week...

Monday: Hamburgers from the freezer and baked potatoes with a veggie
Tuesday: Bruschetta n' Cheese Stuffed Chicken and a veggie

Wednesday: Dirty Rice (one of those recipes from my mom where you just throw whatever in it!)
Thursday: Sandwiches, chips and fruit...one of our favorite summer dinners
Friday: Chicken on the grill, veggies and a fruit
Saturday: Jeremy and I will be on a winery trip with some friends! The girls will eat leftovers or I will have pizza ordered in for the babysitter.
Sunday: Leftovers or dinner out

I thought I hated rats.

Little did I know, they would teach my
five year old Zoa to read.
Did you catch that? My baby can read.

Zac the Rat

Zac is a rat.
Zac sat on a can.
The ants ran to the jam.
Zac had a pan.
Zac had a fan.
The ants ran and ran.
Zac had a nap.
The End.

Scattered

Zoa's static-y hair is the perfect representation of our lives right now.

All over the place!

Random: ADJ: 1. Having no specific pattern, purpose, or objective:

1. I am LOVING staying at home. Even though this week I have been super busy, I am loving being home every day, cooking my girls breakfast, enjoying a quiet cup of coffee and getting them ready for school. I do have school two times a week and I go early each day to try to get in a few hours of studying. Honestly, with everything going on, I am busier and more tired than I was when I was working!

2. I am making an 'A' in Anatomy and Physiology! I study all the time, you know, when I am not sweeping floors, cooking, doing laundry or being a mom.

3. I have skipped over on commenting on many blogs lately. I will make it there. I am reading though!

4. I bought a sewing machine a few weeks ago and have made the girls the cutest bubble skirts. I am addicted and after my next test on Thursday, I am making them dresses. That's all I need, more things to do!

5. My life revolves around school.

6. I have a hard time sitting still. Even when I am sitting down, I am always doing something else. I honestly get bored sitting around doing nothing!

7. Enjoy spring and have a great weekend!

It has paid off...

I am officially a
Stay at Home Mom Student!

I have to go to the office tomorrow for a couple of hours to do the last bit of training with the new girl but other than that...I am done!

All of our hard work for getting out of debt has finally paid off and I will be able to stay at home with the girls throughout the remainder of my time in school, which is about two years. I will be doing a few things to make a little bit of money, but mostly that will pay for gas each week.

Hopefully, I will have some time to study during the day because seriously, I cannot handle my house when it looks like it has since I started school February 22. I am hoping it works out like this so I would love some good vibes and prayers that this is how it will play out.

Now, I am off to study since I have an Anatomy and Physiology test on Tuesday. I am so sick of muscles, joints and bones it is not even funny!

When your husband messed up his ligament and your only response is "That's dense connective tissue!", you know your head has been in the books.
