... you all will be able to appreciate this.
As most of you may (read: should) remember, I returned home from my trip exactly 1 week ago. However, I didn't actually get home until around 7 pm. Since then I have been going non stop. I don't have any projects on my knitting needles *gasp!* because, frankly, I don't have the time to knit. Also, school kind of comes first and I need to catch up/ get ahead. For the past week I've been living off of several lists and have had my pretty orange highlighter in hand, to cross of things as they've been accomplished. Thinking back I've done A LOT and I'm pretty darn proud. So here's my list of things accomplished and things left to do:

Holy crap that seems like a lot more all written out. I think this proves that I have yet to catch a single break. Thankfully, next week is spring break so the homework load will subside for a bit.
It melts my heart to see the pictures of Jackson helping Gunnar out. He'll make a GREAT big brother *hint hint Cassie*!
It happens to everyone, right?
I feel like since we got back Wednesday night I have been going non stop. I can't seem to catch a break! Immediately when I got home I need to do 2 lab packets for bio, a study guide, and study for said lab exam 2 days later. In addition to that, I realized I have an outline for my research paper due on Monday (and I JUST today picked a topic and got it approved). I also had a final assignment for my infant/toddler class, a psychology assignment, and I needed to pick up reading my book for psychology paper that's due in a month. You'd think that I didn't do any homework while on vacation... but I did. This is all stuff that piled up in the last couple days I was in Texas.
On top of all the school work there's the usual unpacking and getting back into the groove of things again. My suitcase is still sitting on my bed. I just finished putting away laundry that was left when we took off, hung up the new clothes Gunnar got for his birthday and that I bought while on vacay, cut his hair which was much needed, wrote and sent out the thank you cards from his birthday party today, paid bills, ran some much needed errands, and mailed my transcript requests from my two schools today.
The things I still need to do? Finish my outline for my research paper, write my admission essay for Texas A&M (didn't know I was applying for colleges, huh?), put away my clean clothes and get the suitcase out of my room, vacuum, go to the store tomorrow to get G some snack foods, wash clothes and diapers, clean out my car, take said car to get it aligned, buy a birthday present for a special little boy who's turning 1, pick out and order Gunnar's new crib, and continue doing the school work that just keeps coming.
I swear it's never ending.
Time to play catch up!
Day Five: Thursday was our next day of rest, if you can call it that. Instead of staying home all day like we had planned we ventured out to the final yarn store, The Hen House. This place is now Cassie's LYS because they have EVERY SINGLE cascade 220 color! I'm so jealous of this place and their incredible selection. Plus, this was the first place that was able to wind our yarn using a machine and not the hand crank kind.
Day Six: Friday came and went incredibly fast. Cassie's husband took the day off work and we headed down to Galveston to go to Moody Gardens. We visited the the aquarium and the boys loved it, especially Jackson. He was running up and down all over the place and getting so excited about the seals. Gunnar was mesmerized by all the fish and just stared at them.
