Can I "GIVE UP" yet?

It has been a long two weeks. I am so ready for October to be over. Not only have I not taken my math final that is a month over due (long story)! Leighton and I have been at each others throats over school. Can I tell you how much I take parent projects. His last book report was 10 different things and it took us (and by us I mean me) 11 hours. Need less to say I don't think he got a thing out of it. Then when I e-mail his teacher to find out why he has had so much homework for math and by this I mean about 75 problems every other night because he is not finishing in class. I want to point out that on back to school night I spacifically waited behind so I could let her know that he is on meds for ADHD and if she could let me know if she notices that he is struggling to focus (I didn't even sugar coat it I said "if you notice that work isn't getting finished or he has a hard time staying in his seat will you contact me so I can check his mead's? Her response was I will thank you for letting me know") SO I e-mail her and find out that he is missing "quite a few quizzes and that when he doesn't finish he puts them in his desk, However when he was taking his med's he wasn't struggling as bad" to this I had to say "when he was taking his med's He still is and has only missed one day I might add!" What happened to the I will contact you if I see a problem? Missing quizzes wasn't enough but to think that I had taken him off his med's and not even bother to find out arrgh!
Then I get a letter from the principal stating that he has 10 tardies for the first trimester! What the hell is going on. Have the planets collided yet!
My car had to get a new transmission cause it was acting funny, My computer had to get a new hard drive, Now I can't even take my finals on line I have to find a testing center that is open late or on Sat. Anyone want to add anything else to my plate? Like I said "I GIVE UP!"

Such a nice weekend!

It started out great. First I was off work early and Xia had Reis and Avery over to play with while Brenda went to a reunion. She loved it and I was able to get a lot of cleaning done so that when I left for Wendover my house would be clean and relaxing to come home to. Yeah! 
Then on Saturday Jake and I meet my friend Michelle and Candice in Wendover. Michelle and I have gone for the last 4 years in October to get away and I have loved this planned mini vacation. I never lose much just $20 is the most I am willing to lose. If I get down that then We play cards and games in the room and just have a good time. This year however was wonderful the whole trip after food and room cost Jake and I a whole $5.00 not bad for a weekend of play I don't think.

I give up!

So I have offically decided that October isn't my month. It started with my crazy two weeks and has just gotten worse. First my hard drive gets a virus. The sad thing its a Mac so the odds are 1 in 100. Of course this is the second "bad apple" so to speak. Don't get me wrong I'm not swearing off apple I love mine I just have no luck with computers, Then my car starts acting funny. Turns out its the transmition good news its covered by the warrenty. And then after stressing over my math final and getting no sleep I log in to the test and find out my computer technology is too fast for the program so I had to down grade the system so I can finish school. It is then that I think it can't get any worse right wrong! As we are driving to Idaho to see family from Canada I leave my phone at a Maverick in Pocatello. They were nice enough to call my Grandma Moyes and then my mom because Grandma didn't know what they were talking about. So we had to stop on the way back home to get it.
All I can say is I hope now October can turn around and get better.

Long two weeks!!!

I know its been awhile but it has been a long two weeks. First I started both the kids in swim lessons (thinking I had time! Yeah right) so on Mon, Wed, and Fri we leave the house at 7:00 in the morning and don't get home until about 7:15 at night on these days. Then on Tues, Thurs I have had training and CPR so I leave the house at 7:00 in the morning and don't get home until around 9 at night. I have my math final tonight (which I am not ready for) then we leave for Idaho to turn around and come home tomorrow. To top it off my house is a mess because I am not home to clean it and no one else does (at least that is how I feel lately) I keep thinking that if I leave it maybe someone will get the hint however then I am just mad and can't function because of the mess so not only am I miserable but then everyone else is. What can you do. Can't wait until the 16th when I get to have a break from life and just have a good time.
