Why can we never catch a break? why do only bad things happen to us? why do I have terrible luck? We get robbed. We file insurance claim. Insurance depreciates everything to nothing. I have paid more in premiums for the last 10 years then the cost of my claim. Why can I not be reimbursed??? Why does someone else now have a house full of toys- xbox, wii, computers, guitars, etc..- and we get nothing??? How is this fair????? Please someone explain this to me!!!! I honestly do not get it.

Today's post was originally  more infinite wisdom. Deep thought for today- Do not stack cords of wood while wearing flip flops. Dropping wood on toes hurts!!!

We have been lucky enough to be given free wood. We have been splitting and stacking. We have over 2 cords!! I am excited. There is more wood to be gotten. We need at least 6 cords to make it through next winter. The plan is to use wood for heat for the winter and save tons of money from electric and oil not used. Hopefully we can do this. We did last winter for a full month. It worked out OK as long as we remembered to bring in wood and put it in the fire.

Made a no bake cheesecake today!! Its yummy!!! Also made vegetarian gyros for dinner!! YUM!!! I found curried felafel balls at Costco. Put those in a pita with tzatziki, onion, tomato, and some lettuce. My picky teens ate multiple servings!! Steph at 2 for dinner today.  For those who have missed the memo we have been on a vegetarian track for almost 4 years now. i will save the details for another day. Its a long road we took but it works for us.

Trader Joe's opens Friday at 8am!!! I so plan on being there!!!

~ Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means moving on. It is one of the hardest things a person can do. We are forced to realize that letting go means accepting things. It means moving on, no matter how hard you have to fight yourself to do so~

massive amounts of yard work done!! Got rid of some things from the garage. Laundry done. House cleaned. Super tired!!

I cannot believe I have two!!! I was at the mall with them and someone asked me if they were mine... ROFL!! Like I would have more kids!! My four and the four bonus kids are way plenty!!!! I have three living at home, one who comes back a lot, one bonus kids here everyday and another who lives less then a mile away and comes over a lot. Add in I jump on any chance I can to see my grandbabies!! My house is insane.
  

House was robbed,computer was stolen,  lost final research papers due for school. put one off until today for the write/rewrite. Wrote an 8 page paper in 90 min. I never proof read it or had it peer edited. I got a 94 :-/ I am happy but I don't get it. I spend weeks writing a paper, go to writing center, peer edit, everything and get low grades.  I write what I know is a bad paper and I get a great grade.I am really confused on that..
I must have done really bad on my math final. I had a 3.9 before it and my final grade is a 3.3??? I thought I did well on my final. I did get a 4.0 in the education class I took. The rest of my grades are not out yet. I am super scared about the East Asia and chem grades. I don't feel good about either one.  I am seriously nervous!! I have made dean's list for the last 2 years. I went down this time in flames. I don't know if its having 4 classes or they are just harder. I have 3 in summer quarter and four again in the fall. STRESS!!!

$1200!!! lab fees sports fees asb cards years books camps pe uniforms camp uniforms etc.... it never ends!!! This is just what was direct to the school.. $400 cheer uniforms not included ( new one each year!!)

 

This is one child fyi...

It was horrible!!! there was miscommunication on time. The test was not there. I did get it done though. I have one paper to write then this quarter is  done!! I am super close to graduation!!!! I am hoping for some quiet time for a few weeks! I need it!!

Chem is over!!!  I never want to take another chem class for the rest of my life!!! I now really hate chemistry!!

Education class is over too!!! I am now half way there!!!!

Finals!!!! So looking forward to break!!! I am tired and need a break!!

. Just so very tired of this mess...Dealing with the robbery stuff is exhausting
We went to drive in last night and saw Xmen and POTC again.I fell asleep. We got home at 3:30 am.. We had to be up at 8... We went and picked up 4 truck loads of wood for the winter. We are hoping its close to 2 cords!! That is our magic number of half of how much wood we need this year. We used close to 4 cords this year and we are madly stocking up. Now my driveway is full of wood to be cut split dropped and stacked. I so hope we are warm this winter. 
After we did that, I cleaned house. Then we had friends over. We Bbq'ed. Then we cleaned up again. Then we washed and cleaned trucks and cars. I am tired. SO very very tired!!!

I am so glad we are into finals week then no classes for 3 weeks!!!

I need to go to bed!!!!
