Too Much Too Little
Too much to do and too little time.
I realize I have not posted in a whole week. I can't believe time went that fast, and I cannot believe how full the week was!!! I had my first paper due on Sunday for my new class. It was highly intimidating, mainly becuase I had to sift through the book before writing the paper, but it got done and I received a decent grade on it. I realized yesterday that I have another paper due this coming Sunday...haven't even started the book. One day at a time...
Friday evening we planned a movie night for Landon. I had the biggest craving one day last week to watch Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and it hit me that Landon is probably to the age that he would enjoy it too (not to mention has a HUGE sweet tooth). So for lunch that day he and I got bagels and then went to the old fashioned candy store downtown to get some chocolate treats for our movie night. That evening we popped in the video around 7 and had popcorn and chocolate and enjoyed the entire movie together as a family. Landon loved it...and was actually able to sit and understand the whole thing, even though it wasn't a cartoon 
Saturday we had a wedding to go to. Our new neighbor stayed with Landon and he loved them. When we got home from the wedding we got pizza and played games with the neighbors until 2 am. They are a young couple who just bought a house in our sub last April. We LOVED them. Jonathan and Jeff got along just as well as Jill and I...we were both so excited to have made some new friends!
Sunday we went to our friends house in Detroit. We lived over there for a year and this couple were our closest friends. In fact, I am not sure what I would have ever done without Amy that year...she was my lifeline and taught me more about parenting then probably anyone else. Speaking of which...her kids are now 5, 3(almost) and 1. They are so well behaved and eat anything she puts in front of them. This woman is incredible!
Being in Detroit brought back so many memories of that year we spent there. We passed all of our old favorite restaurants and shopping centers. We hated living over there, but it was fun revisiting and reliving aspects of that time. We were there Landon's entire first year of life so if nothing else, it was quite a nostalgic year
So...today I need to price about 1000 items for my mom's garage sale. I also need to start the book that I have to write a paper on this weekend. Oh yes...and we are steam cleaning the carpets tonight and I leave in the morning to stay at my mom's until Friday. C-R-A-Z-Y. I feel thourougly overwhelmed and am just trying to take one thing at a time. So far today I have gotten two loads of laundry done, the kitchen cleaned, groceries, a trip to the library for Landon, and breakfast and lunch fed. Did I mention both kids have colds? Landon came down with it Friday...Noah didn't get it till last evening. I was hoping he could avoid it...but apparently breastmilk isn't a cure all. Praying he doesn't get worse as we will be at my mom's the rest of the week and I desperately need the garage sale to go well so we can make a little money.
Last night Noah was up A LOT. I didn't want him to be sad so I let him sleep upright on me for most of the night...or propped in his swing so he could breathe. This morning he woke up happy as could be. I love that kid.
Oh yeah...last Wednesday night we had a praise service to kick off the school year at Landon's school. He met his teacher and finally seems excited about school...which starts for him a week from Wednesday. Pretty exciting times, let me tell ya!
I know this was a very boring post full of random facts on our lives...nothing of any real substance. Bear with me these next two weeks as they are INSANE...and I promise I will be back to my old xanga self just as soon as I can get a handle back on my life
