Ah, this was a good day - minus the broken dishwasher

So, finals are done. My best surprise was that in my business class she let everyone who had an A not have to take a final. And I was one of those. So, one final down, one free, and one to go, I took my Accounting final which was my biggest dread. I stayed up until 12:30 studying the night before, and the night before. I only missed 2! YAY! Finals done. Big breath and a smile on my face. That was Monday. The joy of being done and getting all A's is still with me , however.
Yesterday J broke the dishwasher. Ok, not entirely his fault: the heating element was rusted pretty bad, and bent upward. I asked him if he could bend it back and it snapped when he tried. So, handwashing dishes not so fun.
Today, I washed dishes (some of them - I'm really not a very motivated person when it comes to dishes....or housework in general). Then after whatever other little things I did this morning I got to come to Aunt N's and put the kiddos down for naps and sit in their suana for about 45 minutes. And granted it was interupted half way through cuz M got out of bed, but those were still an amazingly relaxing, quiet, 45 minutes. And now they are still sleeping and I am blogging. It feels good.
But, the REALLY good part about all of this?? Megan's cookies came in the mail today. DELICIOUS!! I love her cookies. I'm considering secreting them away so I do not have to share with J or M. :) but, then where is my Christmas spirit?? Thanks Megan. Your cookies made my day.

Congratulations on your finals. What a great feeling! Just think of doing dishes as a sauna for your hands. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family.

Way to go, smarty pants! Although, you forgot the OTHER best part of your day which was my calling you 3 times. I'm glad you decided to share the cookies...I told the girls that you said you weren't sharing with Uncle J and they were aghast! :)

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!
