Mama Knows Best

For the life of me, I can not find the motivation to stay on top of things.  I have to read a novel by next Tuesday, plus finish writing my research paper, which was due yesterday. My professor is amazing though and is allowing me some extra time, but still.  I need to get it done! I have my final to finish before next week, as well.  I need to write my four essays.  I’m seriously feeling overwhelmed, but I’ll be sure to get it all done.

Jeff and I had a better day today, despite the grumpiness of Ethan. He’s been extremely fussy for the last couple of days and it breaks my heart.. especially when there seems to be nothing that cheers him up.  After several hours of fussiness, I did manage to get him laid down so that I could work on my paper.  Yes, I’m working on my paper and writing in my journal.  How mom-like is that? 

My house is a disaster and it’s depressing me! I want to finish putting up Christmas decorations so that the boxes can go back in the basement.  I also would LOVE for my JCPenney’s shipment to arrive so that I may  get those gifts wrapped sometime soon.

Money has been somewhat tight lately, so we’ve been smart shopping.  We’ve broken it down into weeks and have accomplished at least one or two people each week.  We still have a couple of people left and the rest of the presents between our family.  Christmas with my parents and siblings is over New Years weekend, which helps put some shopping off for a little while. 

I cannot wait for the hospital bills to quit pouring in.  Every time I open one up, I feel like my son is on loan. It’s one of the worst feelings ever!  I do think we’re almost done paying them though, which will be nice and it’ll free up some money again!

My lazy bum did manage to get classes registered for next semester and I can’t wait.  I’m not overly excited about the drive, but I’m happy that school is getting closer to being over. Only two more semesters and I’m out of there!

Anyway, I’m going to try to do some housework while my little man is still passed out in his bassinet! Then I may try to squeeze in a nap.. who knows.   I probably can’t get that lucky, but we’ll try!
