Grad School

So, I feel the need to vent about Grad School. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it, but the workload is so getting to me right now. Not only do I have a minimum of 30 page paper due (a proposal for my grad project), I have to teach three more classes of student teaching in which I develop ALL of the content, have a paper in my online class due and a major project, all before December 3rd! Aghh, on top of all that I have our two boys birthdays Nov 10 and Nov 15th and we are moving into our house this week and I have MAJOR unpacking and organzing to do. And everyone knows that I need and thrive on order so I will be working on getting all that done right away because I am not built to live in chaos. Oh, yeah....and I work three days a week too! Ughh....I just keep telling myself take it one week at at time and that I should graduate in MAY!!!! Three years of working on my Masters and I will be finally done....done..done....DONE. Well, that was my venting! Sorry!

Quick Update

Well as many of you are probably wondering, yes we are still in the hotel awaiting the remodling of our new house to be complete, but we are planning on moving in next week! I am so excited you have no idea. It sucks having to pay for laundry, it sucks sharing a bedroom with the two boys (they are noisy sleepers!), it is just not home. However, I am thankful that we were able to stay in such a nice place and have a home that is now safe,clean, and much much nicer for our family to live in! Payton was officially 23 months yesterday! OMG! I know, next month he is two and Parker will be 1!! I can't believe how time flies. Well, sorry I can't update more, I am sure I will have lots to say in the upcoming months as many changes are in store I forsee (hehe). But don't worry, I still follow all of your blogs...I am kinda addicted :)
