One of those days!

Have you ever had one of those days where you think that the cosmos must have aligned, and not to your favor? Yesterday was my day.

Everything was fine. Got the boys up, got them to Mrs. Stephanies for daycare, came home to write a paper for school. After I really got to looking at my grades in this one certain nursing class, I realized I wasn't doing as hot as I thought I was. So, after much soul searching, tears, and disappointment in myself, I have decided to withdraw completely from this semester. I have had a VERY hard time dealing with this. It seems like failure to me. How I was able to just drop classes without a care when I was 18 I don't know. I dropped more classes then than babies do sippy cups. I just don't know how to feel about this.

Anyway, I spent most of the rest of the day moping around feeling disappointed. Finally I relized that I don't have any more assignments or due dates to worry with for at least 3 months and that lifted a HUGE weight off my shoulders. A little relief.

I started cooking around 5:00 and when Shaun got home I decided to go get the boys around 5:30. Our new puppy Chopper has been staying outside since he cannot get over being alone at night inside. Usually, when we crank our cars he takes off in a full sprint from the vehicles. Not this time however. He decided he would stay under Shaun's truck while I backed out and OVER HIM!!! OMG, I have never been so scared in my life!! I jumped out of the truck thinking he was going to be dying under it. After many tears, AGAIN, I took him to Monroe Animal Health on 165 north to Dr. West, who was so great and let me bring him in right at closing. After X-rays, she decided he may not have any broken bones but that they would keep him just to make sure.

I got a call this morning from them. They said he is much better, actually putting weight on his back right leg and she will be sending him home this afternoon. THANK YOU GOD!!! You answer prayers!

So, after making it home and eating, I decided it was bath time for mommy. Well, how exactly do you take a bath in a one bathroom home with two boys and a husband without locking the door? Answer: you don't. First Bryce needed a hug. Really? A hug? I'm in the tub!! SHAUN!!! Come get them please!
Then Jace needs something 10 minutes later and won't leave! SHAUN!! Come get him please! Well after this last time when daddy was aggravated and mommy was slap wore out, I got out. And then it was bedtime for the boys.

Bryce has recently figured out that if he starts at bedtime saying he wants something to drink and eat and he wants to give you a hug and a kiss and he needs this and that, that he will get to stay up an extra 5 minutes. We have been trying to crack down on this by making him eat when the rest of us do, but there are many night where he ABSOLUTELY refuses. So, being HATEFUL, MEAN, UGLY parents we send him to be "hungry". Yeah right!!! Last night he started in and we told him NO!  30minuets later he was STILL crying and screaming how he was hungry and mommy had had enough. Opening the door into their room from the hall with my left had on the door landed my fingers in between it and the other door in their room from the kitchen. I literally thought I had broken all my fingers on my left hand. They are bruised and swollen today and terribly sore but hey will be fine.

After this it was book time, chocolate pudding time (fat free of course), and bedtime.

I really hope that yesterday was my terrible day for years to come. I don't know how I made it through!! I'm sure my mom was SOOOO tired of me calling her and crying. Today will be MUCH better, cause I'm gonna make it better!!

Another edition of my beautiful life!
