Almost.... ALMOST over.

Life as been rough the past few days. Austin has gone out of town to a conference to learn about a computer program that a company he works with is upgrading to. Long story! Anyways, my dearest sweetheart is going to be coming home tomorrow night. YEAH! I can not tell you how happy I am. I am totally serious! I love my children, but sometimes, we just butt heads and it just gets worse from there.

Today I had to go to Tevin's Parent-Teacher Conference. He's doing fabulously and needs to improve a little on the whole listening and not complaining part, but that's a five year old for you. His teacher also informed me that Tevin had HEADLICE! AGH! Apparently 95% of the class has it. So I mildly freak out because I just have to do a ton of work now. So, I take him to the store and get all of the stuff for it (even though I looked and couldn't even find a NIT!). I had him go through the WHOLE process wit washing and combing out his hair and washing all of the sheets. Now, he is bug free.....and I a itchy. I feel stupid but I might have to ask my neighbor (or wait till Austin gets home) to check me just in case. Zoya doesn't have anything, but I might. Ya never know.

Sometimes life can suck, but then you get over it. : ) ha ha Wow.

Tevin seems to be going through another growth spurt - which is what everyone is telling me - (which we can't afford! He goes through clothes like mad) because he has been dropping everything! Spilling milk, dropping plates, dropping food, toys - everything! He can not keep anything upright! lol I am really frustrated. I think we must have had a Half Gallon of milk spill on our floor this week.. or more.

I love my family, I really do. Some days are just better than others.

Loney.... I'm so lonely!

When I hear that phrase not only is it in a munchkin voice, but I hear the strings along with it. For any of you who have no idea what I am talking about, I will be happy to send you the MP3.

Today was a good and bad and ugly day.

GOOD! We had our primary program and they did so awesome! They each wrote a talk and they each went up and read beautifully! I am so proud of them. My primary kids ROCK!

BAD! The kids were totally useless as far as attention went so classes were out!

UGLY! We ended up having an ice cream party to celebrate how awesome they did - and it was - but then we were left with 8 primary kids and 3 nursery kids all hyped up on sugar and 45 minutes to go.

GOOD! Austin is feeling better. He has been sick - nothing serious - but I sent enough drugs with him.

BAD! He was feeling bad enough that he needed a blessing, so we had a couple Priesthood holders come over.

UGLY! He couldn't come to church today, so he never got to see the program. : (

Another UGLY - no Good or Bad. Austin has left to go on his week long conference today. He'll be back Friday evening - very late. *sigh*

Now, it's just me and the kids. YEAH! I mean that truthfully and sarcastically. I love my children, but it is going to be one busy week!!!

Here's a question.... Have you ever had a bump on your arm? I'm talking a hard bump - not squishy or movable either. Thursday, I found this hard lump in the smooth part of my left forearm. It was about the size of a navy bean. Now, I don't know for sure, but I think it has grown to kidney bean size and it hurts around it and when I push on it. I will take a few more days measurements... although I will be calling the doctor's office tomorrow... just to be sure. I have a friend who is a nurse and she thinks it might be a "ganglion cyst" - which is not my cup of tea either. But, we shall see whenever I go in.

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!

lol For those of you who don't know, that was from the movie V for Vendetta. I don't even know why I remembered it. lol Oh well. Now, Halloween is over and it's on to Thanksgiving. The kids had a lot of fun with Halloween.

I am totally tired though. I don't know why, but I have been sleeping a lot. I did feel great today though. I got a ton of stuff done. haha and NO I am not pregnant. My neighbor already asked.

We are practicing for the Primary program Saturday and I have sufficiently bribed them all with an ice cream party. They are excited to speak in the microphone too... I did forget that. But, hopefully it will go well. I am also currently obsessed with our branch Christmas party. Yes, you heard right. I have planned it all out and more. Austin rolls his eyes, but he knows this adds to my happiness so he allows it. : )

Austin has done really well. He has signed up for his last semester of classes and apparently decided to take two P.E. classes for fun. Wow, my man will be lookin' good by the time Spring hits. I only hope I can do the same. lol He's ecstatic for the end to be in sight but he's even more ecstatic for it to snow so he can ski. Yes, it's sad.... but I only say that because I have never skied.

Life... it's so hectic sometimes and others not, and you always seem to want what you don't (or can't) have.
