I'm just going to be honest, blogging is not top priority this week. I feel like I'm drowning at work--I've been there from 6:15 until 9:00 in the morning and then 2:45 until 6:30 at night the past two days. Today I worked the same morning shift and I have to go back from 12:00 until 6:30 this afternoon. Tomorrow the kids don't have school, so we're combining with another childcare site and my hours are 7:30 to 4:00 on Thursday and Friday. I'm working so much more than usual because my site director has been out of town, so it's been just me and a herd of screaming, unruly children, and honestly, I am about this close to snapping their necks. This morning alone I dealt with a bloody nose, twisted ankle, and bruised knee.
Then, in my off time, I'm trying to get all of my homework for the week finished by tomorrow, because on Friday night I'm taking the red-eye to Boston, where I'll be hanging with a large portion of my fandamnily for my Memere's (that's "grandmother" for those of you who didn't take 5th grade French) 90th birthday. And let's not even talk about all of the laundry that has yet to be done, the packing that I'll probably be frantically trying to finish 15 minutes before departure, and the fact that the dogs have to be dropped off at the kennel at some point which I have yet to determine.
All of this to say, I probably won't even have time to watch The Hills this week, let alone recap it, because my head is busy doing something like this:
That's what the inside of MY head looks like, too! And why can't you be going to Boston NEXT weekend?!?!

Take care of yourself.
Blogging's not all that important. :)

Hey, I'm excited we still got a post. And, I have to be honest... I don't watch the Hills!
Don't you worry - I have plenty of other guilty pleasure shows (Gossip Girl, Tori & Dean, Jon & Kate +8, Girls Next Door)... but I've just never gotten into the Hills.
Have fun in Boston - hubby just got back from there (for a work conference). He was freezing because all he brought were shorts and t-shirts. Sigh. Boys.

Oh wow, that's what my head is doing too! Seriously, life is crazy and hectic and overwhelming for me right now, so I totally understand how you are feeling. Lots of love and hugs!

i feel ya on the overwhelming life right now. sometimes i feel like my brain is doing something like that too. however if you watch the hills it will make you feel a whole lot better about your life because you're not as dumb as heidi, haha.

Yikes! I hope the kids are calmer tomorrow. That's awesome your Memere is celebrating her 90th b-day. Your schoolwork will get done. The Hills can wait.

Aww, Angela. That's not good. When it rains, it pours, and whenever someone is out of town, it always seems like things are crazy.
Deep breaths, happy thoughts, and you'll be in Boston in no time. *hugs*

How funny because I've been hesitant to read your blog b/c I've been too busy to watch the Hills and didn't want to see your recap until I had. But then I finally decided that I probably wouldn't get to watch it and I should read your recap instead. Only to find out your head is in the same explosive mode mine is!
Good luck with getting it all in, just keep pushing forward!

Hang in there. Kids are annoying and delightful at the same time. I hope things settle down for you soon.

I'm so sorry this has been a crappy week. It's hard when you don't have someone there to lean on. I'm glad you get a chance to go to Boston and see some family this weekend. Congratulations on doing school, working full time, having a life AND blogging.
Feel better soon!

We weren't offered French in 5th grade where I come from. (sheesh!)
Thursday, one cute little kindergartener broke her wrist. (I'm no doctor, but when they cry that long and hard I just know it's a fracture)(It took her parents over an hour to get there, even though they're in law enforcement in town)(She came to school in a cast yesterday).
Just keep juggling and you'll be in Boston soon. It all comes together, somehow..doesn't it?

I hate that drowning feeling, wondering if you're ever going to get your air back. Hopefully the vacation will do the trick :)
