Glad it's over

This week has felt like torture. Not sure why it felt like the bottom fell out, but it did, from disarray at work, to getting my grades in, to keeping up with the house, to giving the girls some attention.

Today, I was absolutely wiped out. So, I took a nap. A much needed, well deserved, break.


(Today's POTD)



Not only did I get to take a nap, but I came home to a spotless kitchen, laundry done, and dinner on the stove. Ray never ceases to amaze me (both good and bad!). He also took them to karate so I didn't have to leave the house all night and helped them with their homework.


Since I didn't get to post my POTD for Tuesday or Wednesday, here they are:

American Idol started on Tuesday. For some reason, Ray and I are drawn to these dumb reality shows. We have even been watching bits and pieces of The Bachelor (more his doing than mine!). I guess I like how the show draws us together as a family--we laugh and giggle and make fun of the people together (mainly speaking of American Idol). It also gives me something to look forward to on these nights. Otherwise, I don't watch t.v.





On Wednesday, the tooth fairy made a visit to Hannah's bedroom.





She still gets excited in the morning when she pulls up her pillow and finds a dollar in the tooth's spot (can you believe how much the tooth fairy pays now?!!). In fact, the tooth fairy will be making ANOTHER visit to Hannah's room tonight as she lost yet one more tooth today!


It's funny how despite the 3 snow days I had last week, I am much relieved that a four day break is coming this weekend (Sat, Sun, off Monday, and no students on Tues). I'm hoping to get in lots of scrapbooking, sewing, relaxing, and time with the girls.
