Lazy Days...

I am lacking some serious motivation these days. I need to kick it in gear and get some stuff done around here before I get too busy to do it!  I did a few things today, but I mainly sat around playing with Eddie. Clarence has had a terrible headache all afternoon, so I haven't wanted to do anything to noisy (or that's my excuse anyway).

Eddie and I just got back from the laundromat. I had 2 loads of clothes to dry, and another to wash, but I figured I would save that load for Tuesday. Eddie fell asleep on the way home, so he is still in his car-seat snoozing, maybe he will get a good nap in.  I should go walk when he wakes up, but again, too lazy.

Maybe after Eddie goes to bed tonight I'll get the floors done...Speaking of, he's awake!

Rain, Rain, go away....

I like rainy days, and I'm sure we could use it, but I wish it would wait until a day I'm not going grocery shopping! It's not that fun getting 3 babies out of the car and into a store in a down-poor...we've done it before though! :)

I'm having to hang around the house this morning. A deputy from the unemployment office is suppose to be calling for a "Fact Finding Interview", I'm not looking forward to it, so I hope he calls on time.  The instructions for this phone call are very strict (answer the phone promptly, say your name clearly, don't speak unless spoken to, etc), but then at the bottom it says to have the entire day free just in case he doesn't call on time! Lovely... I don't imagine it will take all day though, so I have planned a grocery trip. I'm going to go to Ashlee's (for those of you who don't know, if any, that's my sister-in-law :) ) to pick her and the boys up, and we are headed to the big town of Galax.  I have coupons and a list made out, and I'm excited about this trip to see how much I save!!  We are definitely having to cut corners everywhere we can, though nothing too extreme yet, hopefully it won't come to that. But if it does, I'm really not worried about it, I grew up that way, including "grazing" as my husband calls it (he gets a kick out of making fun of me eating greenbrier and poke). Granted, I don't believe either of us would ever let it go that far, I don't want my son to grow up that way, though I really wouldn't trade my childhood for anything.

I hear a sleepy little boy whining for me to come nurse him. :) I'm tellin' ya, I never thought it was possible to love someone as much as I love that little boy! (ok, two someones :) ) I don't know what we ever did without him!

Time to go sit by the phone...

It's official!

Yup, I am officially a student at New River Community College. I'm excited to get started!! My classes don't start until August 22, and I only have two that I"m going to campus for (Math and English). I'm taking four more from home.  I will be attending classes Monday, Wednesday and Friday, starting at 9:40am and ending at 12:10pm.  I can't wait! My subjects; Math, English, Keyboarding 1, Editing/proofreading skills, Medical Terminology 1, and College Success Skills. I want to start now! :)

I have been doing a lot of running the past few weeks, getting all of this lined up. Eddie has been perfect for me as usual...He's growing WAY too fast! I expect to wake up any day now and him be running around the house. Ok, not really, but I'm sure it won't be long!

Today I plan to stay at home and get this house clean. It's not visibly that dirty, but the floors need mopping so I guess I'll make that my priority.  Here it is 9 already and I just got out of bed, sheesh, I better get on with it!

Spring or Summer?

It's hard to tell!  One minute it's 90 degrees and all  you want to do is find some water, and the next it's 60 degrees and you almost need a sweater!  But I'm not complaining, I would rather anything but snow.

It has been a wonderfully lazy day today. Despite Clarence feeling under the weather, it was nice to have him here all day. Eddie has been an angel, thank goodness! He has been happy all day, so I haven't had to worry too much about him waking Clarence up!  I say I've been lazy, but really I haven't been as bad as usual. I managed to do a load of clothes (which I had to take to the laundromat to dry, my drier bit the dust some time ago), clean the kitchen, and clean out the closet...I think that was a pretty good start. :)

I think it's time to nurse Eddie and put him to bed, take a shower, and hit the hay. Until next time...

Introduction

I must admit that this is my very first blog, so I will apologize now and warn anyone (if anyone!)who reads it that it won't be that great!  

Right this moment I am a stay at home wife/mother, which I absolutely love. I have been married for 3 years to my wonderful husband, Clarence Goins, who is one of the best things that ever happened to me. The second best thing (ok, maybe he moved to the first! ;) ) is our beautiful son, Eddie James. Eddie just turned 10 weeks old and is the most perfect baby, and yes, I can say that. :) 

I am in the process of find a community college to go to to get my Associates in Applied Science. I am super excited about this even though it scares me a little too! More on that later though....
