OOPS!!!! Fell asleep after working a LITTLE on my presentation! Steve said he tried to wake me up so I can keep working on it, but I didn't budge! I guess I needed that sleep! Been up now since 3am with Jacob (who fell asleep about 4:30) and I feel pretty good about my presentation now!
However...these ladies that I have to present to...well, they are a little...scary! Not sure how to describe them. I mean, this project I have felt used from the beginning. I feel I was only there to do their paperwork and then they were done helping me. So I feel....just weird! Oh well...just get thru the stupid presentation, presenting my points, and go from there :)
Can you tell...I'm ready...to be...DONE!

Yesterday
Well...yesterday's post was forgotten...too TIRED! We had to run after work to get some Valentine's for Kayleigh's daycare class (which we just found out we needed on Friday--and I just found out Monday morning!). So...off to the Dollar Tree!
Valentine's is fun! We really would like to do more with it...more crafts, more food, and Pinterest helps :) I can't wait until next year when I am not doing school and Jacob will be more mobile (that may be a good or a bad thing!)
This year, we won't be celebrating like I would like. No money and no time. Trying to finish up my last project. The presentation is tomorrow morning. Then I'd like to post my paper soon after, but I'm guessing it will be Sunday night before it gets perfected...but that's fine by me :)
I.CANNOT.WAIT.TO.BE.DONE!
I just want it to not take over my life! I want to read books with my kids, watch movies, relax, clean, and not feel guilty about not doing my homework! Speaking of...I better finish this powerpoint!

Progress...
42 pages 10,052 words...still working! UGH...just want to be DONE (and I'm sure you want me to so I can quit talking about it).
My presentation is scheduled for 9am on Wednesday and I am NOT rescheduling it!!! If anything I can do some final touches on my paper afterwards, but get the main stuff in the presentation.
The kiddos have colds :( Kayleigh just puked about 5 mins ago. I think she (and Jacob) are just so congested that the snot going down their throats are causing them to gag and eventually puking :( Plus, Kayleigh's appetite is just not up to much. Jacob on the other hand has been doing 5 ounces every 2 hours today. Can we say GROWTH SPURT again!?!
I can't wait for this project to be done so I can get some much needed cuddle time with my kiddos :)

Mind.won't.stop
I hate when I get into a mode of nerves, worries, fears. My mind just won't stop!
Today the kiddos went to Grandma and Grandpa Peterson's for some fun and excitement away from their boring parents. I was going to do my best to get my last paper finished and my presentation to go with it. However, then I starting thinking. About EVERYTHING!!! I hate when I do that!
I started worrying about money. About cleaning. About sleep or lack their of. About anything and everything. The bad part is most of it, I can't really do much about it. So...why am I stressing? I blame genetics!!!! Grandma Lewis is known to go to bed around 9pm. But she's almost always up around 2-3 because she starts worrying about something. Then rarely gets much more sleep until she finally gets up around 5-6ish. Pretty sure my mom does the same thing and maybe Stacey.
I just hate thinking about costs of daycare, my student loans, mortgage, trying to keep everything squared away and stay above water. It will work out...I know it will, but I still worry.
I even called my mom. Didn't say anything, but for some reason just hearing her voice makes me realize that I'll be okay. :)
Sorry...weird post! Don't worry, we are fine, but I.WORRY.TOO.MUCH! (and I didn't get my paper/presentation finished :( and too tired now...from unnecessary worrying)

2nd Hand Stores
Today I was able to leave work early due to lack of patients. So, I went to Little Repeats...a 2nd Hand Store for children's clothing. This store is going out of business at the end of the month, so everything is 40% off right now. A co-worker was talking about it and we both said we'd never heard of this one...there are so many now. Maybe lack of advertisement is what is shutting them down. Plus they are kind of out of the way and hard to see. So any of you that are reading this wanting to see what's there they are located on 86th Street behind Panera in between Hickman and Douglas in Urbandale.
I think I'd do more thrift store shopping if they wouldn't crowd their merchandise. I hate when I can push clothes out so I can see them. I went to a Goodwill once and the same thing happened. They have their clothes pushed so tight and so full that you can't even pull them out a bit to see what is on them. I need to remember that for garage sales too. Plus, I hate when it's so busy and people are so rude that you don't even get a chance to look.
Anyway, I was able to grab some name brand jeans for both of the, a couple summer outfits for Jacob, and a skirt for Kayleigh (total 7 or 8 items) for $16. They all looked pretty good quality. There was a lot of stuff there, but just not what I was thinking of at this time. Lot's of "preppy boy" outfits too. However, we just don't wear that stuff much. Who wears button down shirts and sweaters to daycare?
If anyone has any other pointer for thrift store shopping let me know. I haven't had the best of luck with them, but I know many that have had great luck.

I LOVE YOU!
Kayleigh is learning to say "I LOVE YOU" by pointing to her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest and pointing to whomever she wants (mainly Daddy...not that we have a Daddy's girl or anything...wink wink).
CUTE!
See if she'll do it to you the next time she sees you!

Today...
Today was my day off! Jacob decided to wake up at 3:30 for a bottle and diaper change. So I pumped while daddy did his duty. Then we were wide awake so we watched some episodes of Frasier on Netflix. I think I fell asleep when Steve went to take his shower, but was back up to help feed/change the kids before they went to Daycare (and didn't take a nap!).
I got SOOOO much stuff done today! It's amazing how much you can accomplish when the kiddos are at daycare and Daddy is at work! :) However, I didn't get my homework finished on my last class. Oh well...Grandma Mary called and requested some babysitting time, so she's getting them this weekend! I'll get my homework done then! Scheduled my presentation for the 15th at 9am (so...I'll be COMPLETELY done then :) I guess I have to wait and make sure I pass, but I'm hoping that's a definite).
Well...off to bed...the rest are sleeping, so I should probably get there too :)
