Noah's Mommy

My eyes are getting heavy. They are wanting to close. I'm trying to write this to get it on the screen and saved. I'm just tired and I never intended to stay up this late but heaven forbid my books came today and I needed to get semi-caught up tonight. I will NEVER recommend buying books for school (textbooks of course) from amazon.com marketplace (the used books). THey took 2 weeks when they all said 2-5 days. Ugh. I even allowed for time cause of the holiday. Nope, it took them 14 days.... 15 if you count Labor day. That is not even CLOSE to the time they agreed when I submitted my order. I haven't even got all the books yet. The only thing I can say is they are CHEAP. I got one book for 50 cents. Instead of almost 40 dollars. I'm glad I did not pay more for it. Ugh. Like I need more BOOKS or stuff in my tiny house. So now that that is off my chest.... I can sleep. I haven't even talked to Mat much today. Maybe a half hour - forty-five minutes. Ah,...

I have no life. Well, I have no free time to enjoy life right now or for at least the next eight weeks. Drop off Noah 7 - 7:30am Work from 7:30 - 12pm Study from 12:30 - 3:00pm Pick up Noah 3 - 3:30pm Time with Noah / Eat 3:30pm - 5:30 T/Th Class - 6pm - 9pm

So the day began kind of slow. I got a little laundry done. Then Mat and his boys (Jeremy & Sebastian) stopped over to invite us to go and get ice cream and play at the park. I was so happy to finally meet his boys. Noah and the boys got along really well. It was so much fun. We got the ice cream and went to the park. Unfortunately I forgot the camera. I had it on the cabinet and FORGOT IT. Grrr.... Anyways, afterwords we came back to my house since it was SO hot and my house was close by and the air was on. We hung out inside until Noah got cranky and needed a nap. Mat took his boys outside so that I could nurse and get Noah laid down for a nap. That was sweet of him to be considerate enough. Then after getting Noah asleep I went outside to talk and he had cleaned up my brush I trimmed from the bushes. He wound up my hose (I always get irritated with it and leave it on the ground). He cleaned up the clothes line that was all over the ground (because of the tree that...

So tomorrow is Labor Day. I'm really happy for the extra day off. I do have to get my butt in gear on Tuesday. I logged into my online classes and everyone is already doing this weeks work. I need my BOOKS but they aren't even here yet so I can't do most of the work. WHICH SUCKS. I'm so disappointed in the online sites (amazon / barnes and nobles) because they are SLOW and I've been waiting so long. Tomorrow is going to be spent doing things with some friends and enjoying the outdoors. I can't wait. Oh yeah, I bought a memory card reader yesterday so I need to upload pictures.

So I did not think I would be as sore as I am. The trip to the zoo on Saturday with Melissa and her family has taken a tole on my poor legs and ankles. I also have some pain associated with the 1/2 mile STEEP hill we climbed. However, I thought about it and it just goes to sh ow how OUT OF SHAPE I am. Now if I only had a support person to go with to exercise more. Today I did a whole lotta nothing. Sleep and Laundry. Mat came by today on his motorcycle. He really is a great guy and I haven't even attempted to make any moves on him at all. I let him kiss me on the cheek and hug me. NOthing more. It isn't that I don't want to, but I don't want to rush anything. I remember when Noah was born and I said that I wouldn't let anyone meet Noah until I knew that it was serious. Well, Noah was there each time I've seen him. The first time I didn't know he would even come there. It is nice to feel woo'ed. He is sweet and taking Noah and I out for Ice Cre...

on the cheek. I've never had a guy do that before. He said he was really n ervous and he really liked me and didn't want to screw things up. I'm so geeked....why? Because usually it is me saying that. This time I am not opening up as much as fast. We went to Fazolis cause it was last minute and easy to take Noah to. Then we came back to my house and hung out. He is really a gentleman. He asked for a hug and I appreciate that. Most men just DO. He did kiss me on the cheek and said he'd talk to me later. Tomorrow he is going to the races in Galesburg. He actually races. =)

I'm so happy that Friday is here. I'm anxiously awaiting a phone call... In the meantime I have to avoid all the damn bill collectors who call 3 times a day each. I hope my hours go up soon. I desperately need money. I don't have money to pay the mortgage till next friday. But my Mortgage is due on the 1st. Ugh. I almost had to cancel the trip to the zoo. But my mom's friend, Bob, gave me $20 so I could take Noah. Mom said she'd pay for any materials needed to put the gate up since it was at her house and she desperately wanted to get it up for safety reasons. Note to Melissa: Lets meet at the zoo. Then go to my mom's after wards. Do you know how to get there? If not, I-94 East to Exit 100 (like you are going to my house). Turn Right though. Follow this by the lake, around the curve, past a few lights and Harper Creek High School (they have a BLUE roof) and out in the middle of no where is the zoo. When are we meeting there? So today was SO busy at...
