Almost done.......

I'm almost done with my fall semester.....I have one more final on Wednesday. I'm sure my husband and my kids will be just as thankful for that just as much as I am. I told Kayla this morning that I will not be as grouchy tonight. I have 2 test today and then I will be less grouchy tonight...Her response was "that's okay mom, I still love you" It made me cry. Sometimes I feel I should not have done this school thing.....I'm not the best mom right now and that kills me.
The kids seem to be crazier then normal lately.....the "santa's watching you" trick has been working some. I took the kids to see the santa train on the 6th. They were very good while we waited in line for an hour in the cold. Kyle was a bit shy of the characters but didn't cry. They both sat on his lap and all was good.
Scott has been working on the shed quite a bit. We finally have the kitchen enclosed so that it will hold heat and keep the water lines from freezing. I helped him on the door to the main part last night. Once we get the door done we will be on hold for a while. We would like to build up the account a little more. All in due time I say. The kids have been out there "helping" Scott almost every night he is out there. Oh and Mac even rates high enough to be invited into the shed. The kids are really warming up to him finally! Last week one day I though Mac may be gone forever......I got his chain rapped up in the tire of the van......Mac didn't like that too well. He limped around for a couple days but he was fine. It's not the first time I ran a dog over. The guilt......I felt so bad. I ran my grandpa's dalmatian ? (i think) over when I was in high school. I still to this day remember it clear as bell.
I have started making some Christmas candy.....I don't know why I think I have to do all of this stuff. It just adds more stress to my already stressful life! I made some chocolate covered pretzels and some (kid's call them) snowballs....aka.. the Oreo cookie things. I may have some left by Christmas if I can keep Scott out of them.
I finally got my Christmas cards ordered.... I was soooo behind this year. I usually have them out by the first week of December. I sure hope I can get them out by the 23rd! LOL I took a picture of the kids on Sunday and sent it to walmarts website and designed a card. It was fun. I really wanted to put 3 pictures on a card (one of Kayla in her wheelchair right after surgery, and one of Kyle when he buzzed his hair) but that didn't work out. LOL It would have been cute. That's how my year went!
Well, I need to run....off to Kayla's Christmas program! I'll get some pictures up soon.
