Not too much longer til spring break!

okay, so I fell behind this week in my classes. And I'm pretty mad at myself for it. Hopefully I do better from here on out, cuz I need to bring my grades back up from the backlash of doing so horribly. grrrr. I hate when my grades drop. I'm also seriously considerinig withdrawing from my engineering graphics class. It's really gotten hard for me to understand how to do everything I'm supposed to know how to do; especially ever since I had trouble with the program, I've fallen behind. So I'm pretty frustrated about that too...I don't know what withdrawing will do to my financial aid since it will drop me below full time status. I plan to go talk to an advisor soon.

other than that I'm just trying to get ready for spring break. I'm not really looking forward to flying with M this time. I'm pretty sure she's not going to enjoy being confined to my lap the entire time. Hopefully I can bring enough things to keep her entertained. I'm excited to see everyone in Minnesota though!

Hopefully we get to see you!

Word to the wise...get a bunch of little, cheap NEW toys that she has never seen. (Friends and family may be able to help with old stuff that their kids are no longer interested in.) Wrap them each in their own piece of aluminum foil. The mystery of what's inside makes the toy a lot better. Plus, it takes like 24 seconds for them to open up the foil, which is 24 seconds she is not trying to get off your lap and lick the windows.

You need to turn the word verification on your comments so JASON can't blogspam you.

Damn Jason! Stop attacking my little sister! (Not Megan's Jason of course, Spammy Jason)

While Mom's advice is funny ... I'm with Megan, no window licking. God knows how many nasty old men/slobbery little children/dirty hippies/smelly drunkerds and prankster teenagers have touched that window. Ewww.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

Clearance Puppy

This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!
