Wow!

Spring/Summer came it full force this weekend while they had predicted rain. Why do we even have forecasters… we can do a better job at it ourselves.

I did a bit of school work, so that’s good. I cleaned and organized my room a bit. I washed my car, painted the scratches, did the roof, added water and checked the oil (I need to change it soon).

I have a 10 page paper I need to write by the week of May 22nd. I think I’m going to choose the topic on learning 2 languages. Or rather, 2nd lanuage acquisition versus 1st language. We had a meeting the other day about this at work, so I think I can get info from Stacy or someone about it. I need to start thinking about it though… I might wait until I finish the other paper I have to do (for the leisure class for which I posted about last night).

I really needed today to stay in and just get things done. I always say it… and today I did it! Stayed in… all day! Although I hope to get mom to go out for a walk with me tonight… but we’ll see I suppose.

I tried the new 5 calorie Ocean Spray Cranberry… gross. I drink the 20 calorie one, and I’ll stick to it. 5 calories… eek! So that’s $1.50 badly spent… but I’ll donate it to work for afterschool kids… something.

I’m going to make cupcakes for my boss’s birthday on Monday night to take to work Tuesday morning. I’ll top them off with dulce de leche which they haven’t tried, so they’ll be happy (or at least I’d like to think so).

I was going ot mention something. Wasn’t sure if I mentioned it before or not. Went to check… forgot what I was going to say.

Welcome to me.

So life has been normal. Or at least as normal as it could be, I guess.

I’ve been going to school and working. Both have been fine lately, I suppose.

I need to really check out and see what I have to do and by when.

I don’t think I’m late on anything – but I have this weekend and next to do a “journal” about a day trip to some place… So maybe I can go to Malibu State Creek or the Santa Monica Mountains next weeked… some place for my paper. Or I’ll have to make it up somehow.

I bought 5 years of The West Wing today. $130 – but I get $50 back, so I end up spending less than $20 on each, which is a good deal – retail is over $40 each. There are 7 seasons total – so I’m missing last years and the current and last year.

Cool!

Okay, I’m going to watch TV… or maybe read a book.

La

So.

It’s been a while, again, since I’ve made a deep post.

And this isn’t going to be one of those.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had time (and I do feel as though I’m always busy doing something).

But maybe, soon, one of these days, I’ll find the time.

Another class gone.

So another class gone… and I have… 4 of my afternoon class left (including today) and 4 of my Wednesday class left.

3 of my other class left.

Sounds good to me. The year is coming to an end.

Unfortunately I then begin my summer class – fortunately it’s with two people I know.

Otherwise I think I’m doing okay.

For the no-deadline class I have 5 tests to take and a paper to write. So I also need to get going on that. I need to print the next section – so I’ll do that soon (like, in a few minutes maybe).

Sadness.

It really is unbelievable.

I don’t believe it.

And I cry. No one sees, no one knows. But I do.

And I’m not sure why… but I do. I’m sad.

Very sad.

Did that.

So I did the quiz that needed to be done by Monday night.

Now I need to get some quizzes (sp?) done for the other no-deadline class. I printed the stuff, so I just need to sit down and read it.

I’m totally exhausted though – since I got up early for work yet again this morning. So instead of doing it today I’m going to lay down, read possibly, and watch a movie possibly.

The other either later tonight or tomorrow.

Okay.

So I have cleaned up my room so that there isn’t a big mess.

Things are more organized and things are taken care of… so I don’t miss my girls.

Now I really should do some work in my classes. Well… one at least – so I’m going to do that. Maybe.

Arg!

:(

I don’t know how it can be so hard for me every single time? Every single time I feel so sad and bad when Mika leaves. I cry every single time. I feel like a baby – but I miss her soo much. I so wish they lived near by. Even if it were a couple of hours away – it would be better than 6 hours. I want my princess near me.

Even though I don’t blame her, it’s hard for me to have her not so much as reject me, but not care when her parents come back. I understand it… it’s just hard anyway.

Surprisingly.

I’m not as…. out of it as I have been in past trips of Mika here. Not sure exactly why – because things, with Camila and Nikki here too – have been more hectic than usual.

Once they leave, though, it’s back to the grind and getting as much done as possible. And I say this every single time – but what’s once more? I need to do the work from the class with no due dates – since… well, I don’t want it to be left up to the last moment. That would suck.

But my nieces are just too adorable!

I need to post some pictures at some point.

Mika went to my moms room to watch TV and she fell asleep! She’s just lying in bed now sleeping. The other two girls had naps in the early afternoon. Which put them in a better mood for the rest of the afternoon.

When Mika does wake up we’ll go for a walk – just to get out of the house for a while, because staying in is a headache with children.

I should use this time to clean up my room – but I know that it will just be messed up within hours, so why?

Alright, for now that will be all

This is he.
