ugh!!

I know I haven't been on in a while but it just seems too hard these days. School is really kicking my butt and it takes all my time. I didnt even get to scrap as much as I love to. I did manage to complete all the challenges that I joined but literally til the last minute--meaning tonight. The summer classes that I am taking are so time consuming and it doesn't help that the girls don't leave me alone when I am on the computer. It is hard. Ok enough whining--we are probably all drunk with my whining--hehe! What else lets see well we had new carpet put into our living room ooohhh it is soooo nice. The kids love to lay on it-- in fact the day it was installed alyssa fell asleep on it of course gil was thinking of me and took pics and then told me he did it so I could scrap it--love him! Things are going well. We have been going to service when I am off from work and we have been doing some work to the house. Let's seee oh yeah we just had a few bdays in our chaotic familia--Josh turned 21, Ralph turned 19 and Alyssa turned 2. We got the girls new furniture so this weekend gil is going to work on getting their room set up. I went and bought Alyssa her own bedding and showed it to her, got a baby monitor , and have been taking her upstairs so she can get used to being up there. Gil and I decided that it is time for her to sleep in her room in her own bed. We have also been working on the pacifier but no luck yet.
What else--omg--it has been HOT! My poor plants and poor poor Bongo--we are having to put all ice in his bowl he loves it but poor baby! We are making sure to check his bowl at least twice a day. Ok well I think that is all that is going on for right now. Will talk to everyone soon and I am going to try to get on more often!!
