The homework that never ends...

I really wanted to blog this week to get some pics of Norah up from Soccer and stuff....but this week has been so busy...literally I can barely breathe. The only way I got through this week was because of my Rock Star of a Hubby and Superdad Jeff...he was so awesome helping however he could this week. I am completely overwhelmed at this point but hope that as the weeks go on...I can better manage it. I will say that I have done more homework and studying this one week then I probably did my entire Freshman year (Ellen says she can attest to this.) So here goes the week recap....
Norah has had a pretty good week...Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were not the best days for her but by Thursday she was doing much better. She was just getting adjusted to her new teachers and new friends in her class (she only knew one kid in her class...) Plus she has just been plain worn out with all the new activities...

So Tuesday brought soccer for Norah...it is 30 minutes and it is really cute. She started really well but after 15 minutes she had had enough and basically laid on the field and cried. I felt so bad for me...but she is 3 so things happen. We are hoping that as the weeks go on...she will get more adjusted to it and make it the whole 30 minutes. Here are some pics before the meltdown....

Starting some warm ups....

Doing some drill....

Playing around....
Okay...so next up...Wednesday...more school for me and then Thursday I had work...and then Friday... Friday stands for frustration. I got up and took Norah to school and then went for a 3.7 mile run (yeah!), came back took a shower and hit the books. I got one class assignment done and moved to the next one which required me to do a power point presentation slideshow...however, since I haven't ever used PowerPoint on my computer...it wanted an activation code..which I can't find...long story short...after 2 hours, phone calls, and $150....I still didn't have power point. So I worked on another subject's assignment. Then I picked Norah up from school and took her for her first haircut!!
I have cut Norah's hair for the last 3 years (actually she just kinda got hair the last year) so it was time for it to be done right! I took her to a place called "Doolittles" that specializes in kids haircuts. She did so well! I couldn't believe it! And she looks so cute with her new bob haircut!

About to get started....

In progress....

Getting it dried....

Final product....isn't she cute :)

This is what it really looks like on a day-to-day basis...we like the wild style (this was today after going to the pool with Daddy)!!
So then Friday night we got a pizza, cupcakes, and wine and headed to Jeff's parent's house to celebrate his moms birthday. We all had a great time and came home...Norah went to bed and we went to bed not too long after! It had been a long week!
So today I went to my work and used the computer there to do the powerpoint and after this blog entry...surprise...surprise...I am back to doing some more homework...it never ends!!!!!!!!
Here are some pics of the puppies...it is so hard to get a picture of them as they are on the move constantly...Finn will be 6 months old next week and Darcy 5 months next week. Can you believe it will be September next week?!
Finn...and yes...right now one ear sticks up and one ear flops over....it is hilarious! Just a couple weeks ago...they were both sticking up so we figured in a couple of weeks...the other one will flop over!!
And here is "Big D"...Darcy! He is like a moving teddy bear...they are both so cute!!!
Well tonight Jeff is heading to the Panthers game so once Norah goes to bed...I will be back to doing school work. I hope to finish as much as I can today so that I can enjoy tomorrow and get in a good run. Hopefully next week will be smoother and then we are headed to the beach for Labor Day!!
