Dishwasher boxes

Christmas break is counting down! One week from today I will be plunged back into the rat race of nursing school. I both dread and look forward to it... I'm ready to finish! Ready to be done with struggling to finish school while being a mother of three... and somehow getting laundry done.

Laundry oh you are the bane of my existence. Seriously... a plague. At least lately I haven't forgotten a load in the washer...

Another interesting note of interest (at least to me) is the focussed study in the Word... I admit, the craziness took over my life and the one thing I probably needed to be doing most I let slip some. So I decided that if Abby was going to be getting me up 6:30-7:00am and watching cartoons for an hour before the twins or Tom got up... that it was the perfect time to snatch a bit of coffee and some time for me to indulge myself in quite time reading and studying.

I'm on my third day and so far it hasn't been as difficult as I thought- waking up isn't always as easy (I need to go to bed earlier!) Funny though that the last two mornings she has been getting up 7:30-8:00... a test? Or was someone trying to get my attention? :o)

Speaking of Abby, she is already stripped of pj's and trying on her 'princess' dresses. I picked her up three headband 'crowns' and she has been playing with them in her new 'tower.' (The dishwasher box) Up to this point she has only fallen off... two? three times? Hard to convince her not to when she thinks she is Rapunzel. lol

Kara and Kiley have been more cranky lately. I'm not sure if it is teeth or something else going on? I sure hope they wake up happy this morning at least! There is nothing like a bath of green snot and drool.

I don't think we have much planned today, it would be nice to get them out but I'm not sure where we would go? I was able to get out for a bit yesterday to run a few errands, order my new glasses and it was nice to get a few things done. My good friend helped me pick glasses out and it was a lot less painful with her around. My awesome Mom is so wonderful to take time out of her day to come help me get things done, there are really only three people I trust other than myself to be able to watch all of the girls... which makes it hard to get things done that you can only do when you are alone... I am thankful for my mom's willingness to watch them for me so much. But the girls haven't left the house and I'm sure they are getting restless....

When we went to pick up our dishwasher Abby exclaimed... "There is Abby's new house! We need to find a key so we can open Abby's new house!" Hahaha she has large boxes figured out. (That white dress she is wearing is the one I can hardly get off of her even though I think it is a 12-18 month size? She likes it I guess)
