has this been the longest week ever? i knew this would happen … i was talking about it last week. i figured this week would be long and tiring. because after all … the last two weeks were fairly easy. what with christmas and new years in there … and having some extra days off work. so this was really the first week being back to a full week. and i was right … this week feels never-ending.

it hasn’t been a super crazy week. hasn’t been a bad week. just a long one. even on the fairly easy day i had … it just seemed like i accomplished nothing. i have had some scrapbook stuff out to work on … some paperwork that needed taken care of … some forms to fill out and mail off for things. and for some reason i just couldn’t find the time to sit and do any of those things. it was as if i couldn’t take even 5 minutes straight to give my attention to any one thing (excluding the kids … i took very good care of them for the record. lol!). i did manage to take care of my paperwork finally tonight … my little pile on the kitchen counter is gone. signed up for my refresher infant/child cpr and first aid class … that is seriously going to kill me to sit for 8 hours straight. filled out choir forms for the girls. ordered school spirit tshirts for the girls. paid a few bills. all homework is signed and ready for tomorrow.

and i even managed to scrap tonight. i have some stuff that i seriously need to work on. only thing is i happen to go out last night to take care of a few errands … and stumbled upon a ton of new scrapbook stuff! so now … the "new" new stuff is distracting me from the "other" new stuff. and i’m confused … i don’t know what i want to use first. lol! i came up with a brilliant idea tonight … since i wanted to scrap but didn’t want to think too much. i just have to journal my page and i’ll share it tomorrow. hoping to do 2 more … i have something in mind already. we’ll see how tomorrow goes. after all … tomorrow is friday!!! that means we’ve made it through this week … so how bad can it be?!?! lol!

and before i go … i have to share the funniest thing i heard all week. i get a ton of amusement from these kids … my own kids and the daycare kids. so many funny things and crazy stories. have to start writing more of them down. but this one was HILARIOUS.

• info you need to remember for this story … nikolas is 6 months, haley is 14 months, and ariana is 4 yrs old going on 16! so i’m sitting in the rocking chair, feeding nikolas his bottle. haley was playing … but all of the sudden she just flipped her switch and decided she was pissed (she does that when she’s tired … her mood can literally change within minutes). since i was feeding nikolas i told her she would have to wait a minute … but she was not thrilled that i wasn’t picking her up. so ariana comes over to me … looks me straight in the eyes, scrunches up her forehead, and gets super serious. then she tells me … "laura, i don’t think you know how to take care of babies very good!" omg … it was the most hilarious thing i have ever heard! just the way she said it … which is the way she tells me so many things … and why i always laugh when talking to her. lol!

here’s to tomorrow … and hoping that this coming weekend lasts just as long as this week seems to have! lol!
