1. The boys started second grade
First -- I love Cameron's hair cut in this picture. It rarely looks this good so when I actually get him with good hair I LOVE LOVE it.
The boys were excited to head back to school. At back to school night last week year were more relaxed than last year and so was I -- I actually had parent friends to talk to!!
Owen loves going to school. He talked non-stop when I saw him that evening telling me all of the details of his day.
**Yes -- we bring a soccer ball to the bus stop.**
The bus came ON TIME. WHAT???!!! And we had the same driver from last year. I was told our time was 6:54 but Sra Romero called at 930pm the night before and told us he would be there at 7:04. He was spot-on. Cheers!
2. Two main characters
I looked over in my car this week and caught these two characters staring back at me. Ohhhh kitty and moo how we obsess over you in this house.
3. Orientation doesn't last forever
More than once this week I could feel tears filling my eyes when I pulled up to work. It has been that type of an adjustment. I realized that getting dressed in the morning is my favorite part of the day because it is the only real decision I get to make. The picture I added is from Thursday -- I worked on the workque ALL DAY. But I chose to do this because shadowing is quickly killing my soul.
On Friday I actually did interviews for new CT surgeon NPs and cleaned out some old boxes in the office. I still think that eventually this will be the best thing for me but right now....holy moly this BLOWS. AND I am getting an amazing catered lunch every day and getting really fat. It's miserable, and I am not being funny about it.
4. Mike's trip
Rouzer is currently in San Deigo living the LIFE. It has actually been fun to hold the fort down while he is gone. He does all (really....all) of the cooking and lots of the cleaning so now that I have to actually step up my game I feel a little refreshed. It has been fun to spend time with these littles by myself. That being said -- I am super grateful he is coming home tonight!
5. Jumping in puddles
Jack and I stopped outside of HomeDepot yesterday to jump in puddles. He was in heaven. This is his absolute favorite activity.

| Our morning picture to daddy. We were getting up for the day and Mike was still up from the night before. |
Last night Jack and I brought Panera over to Melissa and visited for a bit. Goodness she is beautiful and so tiny. Melissa looks amazing per usual. It was great to sit and catch up AND SBJ did a great job playing and keeping himself entertained. To top it off the weather was perfect. Great night.
7. 6 more classes
Besides the misery of my new job, I have been trying to wake up and finish school as quickly as possible without actually gauging my eyes out. I only have 6 classes left which means I will easily meet my goal of getting done with my masters in 1 year. BUT I hate it. I hate the stuff I am studying. I loath writing paper after paper after paper. I want to read books, work out, paint with my husband, sleep in........and all I think about is how much I hate school. I can't get it off my mind. So I figure the faster I get it done -- the faster this will be a distant memory of my life.
So I have 6 more classes. My goal is to be done in 2016. I am not sure if that is possible with our kitchen renovation, fall schedule AND the holidays....but that is my goal. Short term, my goal is to write my next paper in 2 weeks. If I get up every morning at 4am and work on it before I head into work then I should be able to accomplish this. If I do 2 weeks on, 1 week off, 2 weeks on......I will be done with these classes quickly.
Rant over.
