I always assume that once school is out (which it has been for 2 1/2 weeks) that life will slow down and I will be able to pamper myself with much needed "ME" time. However, that has not been the case!
As the saying goes, "When it rains, it POURS!" Well, it has been pouring at our house.
Here are a few things I have learned in the past couple weeks:
- Just because school is out and you are no longer in constant contact with other grimy/germy children doesn't mean you can't get STREP THROAT...you can and you WILL!!
- Recovering from strep throat is even MORE awful when your hubby is out of town and won't be home for 2 days!
- You will do WHATEVER it takes to make sure your husband completes his Bachelor's Degree by April 2010. Which includes sending him away for 7 1/2 weeks to take classes at another University (only seeing him on the weekends) and doing his homework for him for his online courses.
- Absence DOES make the Heart grown fonder!
- Chips, cake, and cookie dough provide much needed comfort when you're alone and especially when you're alone at home watching "The Bachelorette."
- Realizing your baby brother REALLY is getting married...since when did he learn how to Kiss and look so cute doing it?!
- Thinking you're the BOMB when you, your mom, and your sister host an awesome (if I say so myself) Bridal Shower for your soon-to-be sister-in-law.
- Feeling so glad when it's over, but still craving the Chinese Chicken Salad!
- Spending a week with my sister is, as always, a blast! Especially when WE get to do the spying and teasing to those who are engaged...life is great when the roles are reversed!
