Holy cow! It’s been almost a week since I last blogged. I’m getting to be like one of those people with one of those whachamacalits….a life?

School and work and the kids are keeping me busy. I’m still juggling three classes this summer, and when I tell people I work full time, attend school full time, AND have three kids, most people are amazed that I’m standing upright and able to carry on a conversation.

Anyway, here we are at July 4th already, which means one thing in this house - 24 more shopping days until my birthday. 32 this year…eh. The kids have their fireworks picked out for tonight, and we’ll be slapping burgers on the grill and staying home, so that we’ll be here when our dog freaks out from the noise. I’ve got the day off too, paid of course. Whenever I have a paid day off from work I always remind myself throughout the day by saying, “Hey, you just got paid $x for that hour of doing laundry.” Or, “You just watched TV for an hour and got paid $x!” Try it and you’ll see how much you enjoy it.

Happy Independence Day to you and yours!
