What Keeps Me Awake

Ahhh look at her.  I'm so in love with her.  The pregnancy hormones make it even more intense, I think, and I like it :)  She likes spaghetti.

Well its 2:30 in the morning and I can't sleep.  In the last 3 hours I've planned several graduation announcements, my audition video for Survivor, and my segway from reality stardom to Kelly Rippa-dom.  Now, to become Kelly Rippa, I need to have gone on Survivor and survived at least 25 days.  To go on survivor, I need to be Mrs. America.  To compete at Mrs. America, I need to be Mrs. Utah.  To be Mrs. Utah, I need to have had all my babies, and finished my degree.  To get my degree I need to finish my last 3 classes.  This means that designing graduation announcements all night may be a bit premature.  All the other stuff makes sense- obviously.

Georgia's cousin Jacob was blessed on Sunday, and we went over to his house afterward, and it was really sweet to watch Georgia play with all of her cousins in Candice and Randy's backyard play ground.  She did get worn out after a while, and wanted to ponder on some things from the swing.
What wonderful things, toddler swings are.
  We had matching outfits today.  It was so cute we made dad take a picture.

Pumpkins the Goat

Photos to come. I have them stored on Amazon Prime Photo (free and unlimited, but I'm lerning how to use it still). I have an event recurring on my phone every Monday called: "If you could blog today, what would you discuss?"  This was intended to be thought-provoking, and a non-confrontational way to invite myself to blog.  It has encouraged me to think.  It has not moved to me to type. But today I have something I could talk about, mostly to myself since I'm pretty sure everyone gave up expecting anything to be written here every again haha :) I'm not sure I want to talk about Pumkins with anyone, and I'm both afriad of showing anyone the pictures I have, and sorry I don't have more. The goats got out around the last week of January.  I have goats, by the way.  Boots and Pumkins had found the gate to the pasture left open.  I have a pasture, by the way.  We moved.  Anyway I grabbed a bucket of grain for the girls and led them ...

It does not get better than this.

Oh man, what a morning!  Sometimes stuff just works out so beautifully, and I am so grateful to be in a place at this moment where I can appreciate it.  I need something heavier than a period to finish that sentence, because an exclamation point is the wrong energy. So, I'll bold the period. "... and I am so grateful to be in a place at this moment where I can appreciate it . " Does it... Nah it didn't do it. Anyway, things are just normal.  Gemma was warm enough yesterday that she left her coat at school when she came home, which means she doesn't have it this morning.  We all smell like smoke because Russ burned a cardboard box in the fireplace last night that was big enough that he had to use the poker to keep it inside the fireplace, but in pushing it inside, he pushed the flu lever back and shut it, smoking us all out. It was already so late when it happened that no one had time to shower.  Wyatt had a basketball game last night (we finally won!!!), which m...

School, and the Golden Rule

-
I went back to school on September 1st.  I go to Western Governors University.  Its an awesome university and I'm lucky to have the support of my family to be getting through at my own pace- which is pretty damn fast, if I do say so myself.  Despite getting though it quickly, school is painful for me.  At WGU I get to go through the material at a pace that works for me, and when I need to hear a voice explain it, and see a guy behind a desk explain utils with little disks with chocolate bars on them to help me understand the basics of economics, I have that.  I work during Georgia's naps, and haven't blogged at all except for after the accident because I have to focus on finishing as quickly as possible.  But today... oh today... Today I passed (NAILED!) my last math test of my life.  LAST.  THE. LAST.  MATH TEST OF MY LIFE.  EVER.  "Well what if you decide to get a Masters Degree?"  Back off.  I will never (ever) ...
