Thank Goodness It's Vacation Time

I have a break week from school next week and I so need it!!! I'm exhausted. I'm going to get a good night sleep tonight and then tomorrow get caught up on everything I need to do. Of course, the one teacher gave us a big homework assignment to do over break week. Then for my other class, I have to do a Powerpoint presentation on offshoring, read chapter, take chapter quiz, and do a homework paper. Also for this class I have to work on some stuff for my group project - some screen mockups and css stylesheets for our prototype program. So,I have quite a bit to do there.

Then on the home front, I want to get the my filing caught up and make up cookie dough for Christmas and freeze. I also need to get my bedroom cleaned out. We'll see how I actually get done. lol.

Getting Ready for a Birthday Party for the Little Guy - He's going to be One Years Old!!!!

Wow. It is truly amazing how time really does fly. My little guy is one today. We are celebrating his birthday tomorrow, so I've been busy cleaning and making the Thomas the Train cake. I couldn't do much for the last week because I was sick and had TONS of work to do for my classes. But, now I am feeling better and ended up staying late to clean and bake the cake.

Today I started decorating the Thomas cake. I will be baking just a normal chocolate cake to go with the Thomas one because the character pans are too small. I have iced the white and black on the cake and just have to do a small bit of yellow and red, and the blue and it will be done. I will post a picture of it when I am done.

So, tonight I still have plenty to do. Here's my list, wish me luck:

• while kids take bath - clean sink, toilet, mirror
• sweep and mop bathroom
• finish up dishes and put away
• vacuum living room
• finish cake

I will try to write about the party and post some pictures tomorrow night. Until then.

I Hate Being Sick!!

Yesterday I woke up with a sore throat yesterday and by the end of the day I was blowing my nose! GGGgggrrrr! This is the not the best weekend for me to get sick. I feel like doing absolutely nothing!!

I have 3 things to work on for my one class - they are due on Tuesday. I should probably finish reading for my other class. Plus the house isn't looking too pretty right now! Quite a few dishes sitting on my counter calling out my name!! In addition, I need to do a lot of cleaning because we are having a birthday party for the little man on Saturday. He will be 1! Believe me. This house is in no condition for people to see it right now! On Wednesday night I will have to bake the cake and on Thursday or Friday decorate it.

Hopefully I start feeling better soon. I can't afford to get too far behind in my classes or even in my housework. If you have any suggestions as to how I can feel better sooner, leave me a comment.
