Tired
Latest update on her sweater, I started ball #4 of 7 and I am about a repeat away from being done with the body, I should have enough. Oye! I also have so many other projects I'd like to start that keeping at it is hard. I try to stay motivated though as my pile of un-finished project is already high enough. Our A/C is broken and the temps have been so high, we need 3 showers a day just to cool down. Ugh!
As Zoe says, shool takes a lot of energy, especially listening to the teacher. LOL! It is SO true, I am finding myself wanting to go to bed as soon as we get home but instead we have supper, spend time with the kids, relax by knitting and watch tv, in the end I am dead beat and studying is the last thing on my mind.
Luckily my first results are showing that I'm doing good, I got 100% on an exam and all other grades are over 90%, Carl's are also over 90% so we are really proud of each other. I do need to find the time to study but after school the kids are truely my priority. It's hard as most of my classmates do not have kids so they study two hours a night or go out after classes, it's hard not to have that time but hey, I love my kids. ;) I noticed that I can't study home so that's a major problem too.
Friday, the kids and my mom surprised me at school. Lucas came right in the class and I jumped in surprise. What are you doing here? Carl had planned this whole surprise on our morning break and it was great. We went to eat at a park on our lunch break and then joined them once we finished school at a kiddie pool at my favorite park. We finished an hour earlier so the tables were turned and we surprised my mom, who did not expect to see us so early.
The Just for Laugh's festival has started and we walked around there. I really hope to catch a few outdoor shows aka free ones before it ends next weekend.
p/s: If anyone wants to install WordPress for me please give a shout, I'm still hoping to find someone that charges less than an arm.
