crunch time

I took Friday off. I wanted to keep an eye on Laney. I can't decide if she's sick or not. I ended up bringing the kiddos to work with me for a bit so I could get a few things done. The girls seemed to have a fun time. I wanted to get some schoolwork done Friday afternoon, but my car broke down instead. ugh! Something is wrong with the coolant...the car overheated and was smoking, in the Kohl's parking lot. AWESOME!

Saturday, I was planning to clean the house. I was planning to work on my papers for school. I was planning on working on my post on educational change. I was hoping to make a list of things to pack. I wanted to get our house in order, just in time to tear it apart packing. Chrissy and I were going to the wine festival. Instead, I did a whole lot of nothing. It felt like I was doing something, but I was hot and tired and didn't accomplish much. I did cut up watermelon and we made a yummy dinner. I read a lot..of a non-school book.

Sunday, I did clean some of the house. Chrissy and I went to the wine festival and it was LOTS of fun. She bought a cute purse. We bought some wine. We sampled many wines. We want to go back next year with a larger group (Brooke, Wendy, are you in?). I put away the girls clothes and pulled some of the "must-brings" from their stash of clothes. I didn't do any schoolwork. Instead, I put my clothes away and relaxed in my bed because I was hot. I made a "working" list of things to pack while eating dinner and listening to Alie chat away. We prayed to the car-gods...and then drove my car to carmax so hopefully it can be fixed in time for our trip.

Today, I turned on the ac. I can't use being hot as my procrastination excuse anymore. I'm out of time to procrastinate. Chrissy is watching the girls while I'm at work. Maybe I can write one of my papers or work on my post while I'm here. Hopefully. I have class tomorrow night. I have class on Wednesday night. I have a final on Thursday morning. We are leaving on Thursday night after "My Gym" with the girls. At some point, I'm hoping to have to pick up my car from Carmax. I hate the explorer, it doesn't hold my coffee cup well. Wish me luck. This will be an interesting week.
