The end is nearing….

I am so OVER school!!  I am ready for it to be done!!  I just started week 7 out of 10 and the end cant come soon enough.

We bought a minivan Monday since our car and moms van crapped out on us.  Needed a way for Stephen to get back and fourth to work.  Would really like to buy him a seperate small truck to get to and from work, this way it saves on gas and the kids and I are no longer stranded.  Im tired of being stranded.

This weekend we are taking our 2nd annual trip the casino.  Mom, Stephen, me, and the kiddos.  We invited my brother and his wife but he has to work.  Hopefully the kids enjoy the play area this time and I actually get to enjoy some free time.

At the end of March Stephen and I are taking a 5 day cruise.  We never had a honeymoon and our 5th anniversary is coming up so this is a combination belated honeymoon/anniversary trip.  Im beyond excited.  The only thing Im not excited about is being away from my kids.  I have never spent more than 1 night away from them and NEVER been more than an hour away from where ever they are at the moment.  On top of that its crazy expensive to call and talk to them just to check in on them.  Im worried.  I know mom will be fine with them (shes taking that week off to be with them) but…….you just never know.  God forbid an accident happen or something.  Ugh, dont even want to think about it but its hard not to. As much as Im worried and will miss my babies….I CAN NOT wait to get away and be an adult.  Enjoy some alone time with my husband……some REAL alone time, not just a few hours.  Thats something we havent had since Brooke was born.  I am looking forward to not having the responsibilities I have every day.  Im just so anxious……I NEED this.

No really much else to report on.  Waiting to hear from Brookes T-ball coach to find out when practice is and such.  Opening day is the day Stephen and I come back.  I was VERY upset when I found this out, tried to cancel our trip but they wanted to keep half of what we paid.  I didnt want to loose the money.  So instead, we just arent going to mention the parade so she wont know she missed being in it and were crossing our fingers that she has a late game.  Actually, were praying for it to rain like crazy all day Friday and Saturday so that they postpone everything and we can participate fully.  We shall see though.  

I guess thats all……..I need to get back to getting this homework done.  I was so busy these last few days I didnt get to finish my homework on time.  In 3 semesters Ive turned everything in on time……this is my first late submission.  Ive done really poorly this semester.  I think Ive lost my steam.
