This Is Disturbing...Yes?!

Tired...

did i mention how totally exhausted i am?  seriously exhausted.  i think something is wrong with me.  i get plenty of sleep, but am still so tired.

i am so ready for this semester to be over.  only 5 weeks left, hallelujah!  i don't think i will attempt to go full-time again.  i feel like i'm either neglecting my family or neglecting my school work all of the time.  

i went to the 36 hour crop last weekend and got so much done!  i will post pics soon.

it's been warming up here a bit and the kids have been outside a lot...

Wabasha...

Here's a pic i took in wabasha, mn (about 30 min away).  mississippi in foreground, bluffs on other side are wisconsin.

Here It Comes Again...

every month or so i go through this phase of really disliking my life.  it's that time again.  it is so frustrating, because i know it will pass, but i have to endure it all first.  my temper flares, my patience is short and i'm incredibly tired and lazy.  it is not a good feeling.

school is pretty overwhelming right now and the house is falling apart.  i spent my entire spring break doing laundry.  literally.  i did 12 loads one day.  it was pretty yucky!  hey but at least i have clothes to wash and a washer to wash them.  it could be worse.

it's finally warming up here in mn.  it was 40 degrees today.  the snow is melting and everthing is muddy and wet.  i am looking forward to planting some trees and perennials this spring.

this weekend i am going to a 36 hour crop at our local scrapbook store, Scrapper's Haven, which is also where i work.  i am so excited, i have a lot i want to get done!!!

Naughty...but Too Funny!!

One of My Favorite Pictures...

this is one of my favorite pictures of malachi.  he's so funny when he tries to "be mad".  i have been on spring break this week and to be honest, it hasn't been much of a break.  i've spent the entire week doing laundry!  my laundry room was literally overflowing.  i had to stand on a 2 foot deep pile of laundry just to reach the washing machine.  good grief, guess i haven't done laundry lately.  anyway, i'm pretty much caught up which feels great!

the boys spent three hours outside playing in the snow today.  that was sure nice.  they have really started to enjoy more dramatic play and role play.  creating gas stations for their dumptrucks.  so sweet!  i have been trying to post some pics of them all day, but my computer hasn't been cooperating.
