My best friend

So, I have finally finished summer session 3...Thank goodness! I was majorly getting burnt out, and don't think I  could have handled another test, quiz, paper, or chapter reading. I am ready to relax, spend time with my little family, and have a little fun for the next month before I start back to school. Not that the normal school year is ANYTHING compared to summer school. 

A few nights ago while tucking Tristan into bed, he looked at me, gave me one of his huge bear hugs and said, "Mommy, you my best fwiend". I try not to get too sentimental on the kid, but in this particular moment, I really did start to tear up! As I tucked him in with his blanky, I looked down and said, "I love you" like I do every night in my silly voice that always makes him smile and not cry when I leave the room. And he responded the best way he could have, "Mommy, I love you best fwiend!" 

I walked back into the living room with tears in my eyes. These are the moments I want to remember for the rest of my life.

Summer school is almost over, I am now a year older. And I am so glad it is the weekend!

I know. It's a long title for a blog. But, since I haven't written in 8 days, I figured it was time to catch everyone up to speed. Summer school ends next week! Woo hoo! I have an ENTIRE month off before I start right back. And, I honestly have no idea what I am going to do with myself for 3 weeks. Yes, 3. Not 4. I know that one of those weeks will be spent RELAXING in Florida and the Bahamas. And needless to say, that has been my inspiration ALL summer. Little pink umbrellas in my sweet tea..lounging pool side...just me, the hubby, and my beloved Kindle. Yes, we are taking the plunge and going on a T free vacation. And no, I don't know what I will do without my little man for 7 whole days. The thought alone makes me want to cry!

I turned a year younger yesterday. And am thankful that no one went to the extreme, and it was just a normal day. I even had an exam in my class (and after which, the class sang to me, but hey, what happens on deaf ears stays that way, right?)
And we finished the night off with a front yard game of "soccer", which was really just kick the ball to T and hear him giggle. I have to say, it wasn't anything super special, but it is moments like that that I won't forget. :)

Very frustrating

Today has been a very frustrating day, at it's barely 10:30am! I have my first test in business management, and I am definitely not prepared for it, or don't feel like I am. My car completely died when I pulled into the office to run an errand....I am just hoping and praying nothing else bad happens today that I am unprepared for. I am trying to stay positive, but on days like this, it is very trying!

I am sitting in my classroom, but class has ended. I started to get up, but looked out the window, and it's pouring down rain. And being the southern girl that I am, I am made of sugar and might melt if I get wet, so I thought I would take this opportunity and write. 

Life is still the same..Work, school, homework, housework...basically I have decided that if it involves the word" work", it is definitely in my life. But, we have to add some fun in there, too, right? This past Monday was the 4th of July and we spent it the best way we knew how- with water nearby. The river, the pool, the water hose, sprinklers..Little man had a blast! And so did mommy, because for the first time in a long time, I had no work AND no class! 

In this pic, he was watching our cousin and her friend tube. He was laughing and pointing at them pretty much the whole time they were on it. And, waving at the others boats as we rode by!

2 sessions down, 1 to go--with a little bit of life mixed in

My third summer session starts today..2 down, 1 to go. And I managed to do pretty well in both micro and macroeconomics. My teacher made it as interesting as possible, but it was still pretty much the same things repeated daily. Here's to hoping this principles of business management will be a lot more...entertaining. This week has been pretty slow. With finals and presentations, we didn't..Okay I didn't, have a lot of time for much else. We are still looking at houses, and although we think we may have found one, we have decided to keep looking just in case. It's a great location to pretty much anywhere that we'd need to go...which means, NO more driving 20 minutes to get to school, work, daycare...or even to my parent's house! (Even though it will still take some time to get there). T is still into everything Woody, but is now incorporating Buzz into the movies, too. If he thinks we don't hear him after the twentieth time he says "Mommy Woody", he will say "Mommy, Buzz?" I am fairly certain that we can recite the lines of all three movies and give you a complete plot summary with our eyes closed. I am loving that he is beginning to use more words, and thankful that, for the most part, he does not scream to get our attention. For example, this morning while putting him into his carseat, he looked up at me and said plain as day, "Mommy that tickles". He makes me laugh, though, because we are working on "yes ma'am and no sir", and everyone is a "sir".
I am looking forward to this weekend. I am just hoping it's a nice, quiet weekend ,and that we get some water time in. Some of my family will be in town, but I'm not sure what the plan is yet..But these are the best kinds of weekend...And I will continue to cherish every second I get to spend with my family :)


                     Happy 4th of July!!
