Hey guys, be sure to check out Project Nursery OR The Tomkat Studio (both blogs that I follow, and both I am fans of on Facebook) They are promoting Operation Shower. A 3rd blog that I follow is the one who helps put this event on... a giant baby shower for deployed soldiers spouses who are expecting! What a great thing! You can download free printables from The Tomkat Studio with the intent of hosting a party of some kind and raising money to donate to Operation Shower. OFCOURSE the second I saw this I knew I had to take part. I know what you are all thinking... "Your plate is so full already" If hundreds of thousands of soldiers can leave there families for 365 days to possibly give there lives for complete strangers... than I can give a couple days to plan a party and 1 day for a party for a good cause. I have been planning on giving a Pampered Chef party as a house warming party once we get the new house, well now I have been inspired to bump it up a notch. So for those of you who live out of state check out these sights and donate to Operation Shower if you can, other wise locals stay tuned for party details.
In other news I spent my whole day doing laundry and homework... B-O-O! I dont know why I torture myself with school. Well, I do have a newer motivation... to set an example for our 8 year old in hopes she will reach for the starts and go to college and go out in the world and make something of herself!! But I do so dislike homework. I am REALLY looking forward to the Holiday semester off from school, I dont think you could even remotely feel the excitement I feel. I just have to focus a little bit longer. Oct 28th I can throw my Chemistry book out the window!! (not really just a figure of speech)
On the kid front. J had a really great day, shes so alert and VERY squirmy. I put her on the floor to make a bottle on her tummy mat and she flipped and rolled her way halfway across the living room... soon we will have to baby proof the house. She has her 6 month Dr apt tomorrow so I promise to update every one! A on the other hand, had a rough day. She just struggled to make good decisions, she started and ended her day in timeout. But, she is learning so quickly and is truly going to blossom into an amazing girl. She is fast learning you do the crime you do the time, sometimes more humbly that most 8 yr olds other times not so much... she is a character and keeps me on my toes. Maybe that is what I need over this next year of single parent hood.
Ok, well sadly my Chemistry homework will not do its self (darn it) and neither will the laundry. So, I must go wrap them up so that I can fall into bed utterly exhausted to wake up in a few hours for J's nightly feeding and then a few hours later to get A off to school. Then more homework, to then sit in Chemistry class for 4 hours (only one class left after tomorrow) then it will be time for bed again... One day at a time.
