I'm feeling nutty, as usual.

So it's tax season, and it's crazy as it is every year. Which is my reason for posting my 'nutty squirrel' and if you've noticed I haven't gotten back since re-vamping my blog.

It's busy here as usual.

Friday we took my brother to get his drivers license. It was nice, we picked him up early so he could practice driving my car and then we found a cute little cafe that had a Hawaiian theme to it, called Da Kine's RC's Cafe super delicious food and very friendly, and kid friendly as well. The girls had a great time and I showed them on a map where Grandma lives. Afterwards my brother passed his driving test and I even took some time to change my address on my license.

Then we dropped off my bro and raced to the post office, because I need to get my passport. Unfortunatly after much convincing the guy finally got it through my thick head that I had only a 'copy' of my birth certificate. (I knew it was a copy, but I thought it was a "certified copy" only it wasn't). So another trip to the post office will be coming very soon, as I need to get my forms in so I will get my passport back in time.

After leaving there, disappointed for waiting in line yet again and not getting what I need, we went to Coffee Lounge because I had some papers to be signed and mailed.. Only to find out that they were closed..

So what does a girl do after being disappointed twice in a row... She goes shopping!

Then we went to the Walmart, because I wanted to get the girls some bigger PJ's so their little tummies and calfs are not hanging out.. and some soap because Julius used all the soap and didn't tell me...

When we got home Julius decided he wanted to go to this basketball game, to which I thought we would be watching a game. But instead he was playing with the other guys, so me and the kids sat on the side for 3 hours until the janitor came and took our chairs away. At 10:30pm we decided that we should eat, so we drove to Subway which was closed and finally ended up at Carl's Jr. where the kids promptly fell asleep at the drive through, which then we had to wake them up to eat.

Saturday we got up early and went roller skating with some other MOMS, although it was fun, I think a whole hour with heavy skates clamped to your feet was a little too long for my girlies (and many of the other kiddos there). By the time we left the girls were ready to go back to sleep and Alexa was in a full meltdown.

After a much needed nap for all of us, we decided to do some laundry and vaccume the house. At which point I decided to go through all of the girls clothes and take out the ones they no longer wear/no longer fit into. And Alexa's dresser has always been a hassle to me, it's old and it came with the house... and every time you shut/open the drawer the bottom falls out and it gets all crazy. So I was fed up with it and decided we need to buy a new dresser (one that the kids can open and clothes on their own).

Meanwhile we had two clients come that night, and we again didn't have dinner until late..

Sunday we got up early, well I thought it was 10:30 but after having lunch and giving the girls a bath I noticed I was not yet 10am, so there was no way it could have been 10:30. Julius worked on Sunday, and Saturday if you're wondering why he was not around that day. So Sunday we finished the started laundry and I studied a little bit. Then when Julius got off work at 3pm we went to IKEA to get a new dresser for the girls. We got a cute one that even has a matching bed frame that Alexa decided she liked and can have when we get our own house and the girls finally get their own rooms.. But ofcourse my little Adrianne did not want the same dresser that Alexa picked and we couldn't afford to get two, so we had a little mini-meltdown over that... But agreed that when the girls get their own room, then Adrianne can pick whatever bed/dresser she wants as well.. Finally once peace was restored we investigated IKEA since we had never been there, we found so many cool and interesting things that even Julius had a good time. Although we only bought the dresser for now. And ofcourse the cool carts for loading your purchase onto, Julius had great fun 'skateboarding' down the isles with it, and the girls as well... Once we were done we bought the kids "ice creams" (they wouldn't eat them when we called them 'frozen yogurt')

And finally to top it off, I got an enormous cardboard cut loading the boxes into the car, which rendered me helpless and bleeding as I nearly severed my finger off. (I wonder if I can sue, technically I was still on the premesis and it was there box).

When we got home Julius had a client coming, who stayed until late and we ate late, and I didn't do my studying... which leads me to today *finally*

Monday I had two mid-terms, but I only had time to prepare for one.. not a good thing. The first mid-term was four essay questions, one of which I didn't have any idea what it was talking about, so I just made up my answer and even thinking about it makes me cringe.

The second mid-term was the one that I didn't study for, which was bad because it was three essay questions, and by then I was tired of making up answers.. plus I didn't even know where to start. I didn't recognize some of the terms as all, and my brain was complete mush. It's really hard to answer essay questions when you have no idea what the question is even saying.. so not good. Next time I swear I will study!

Then off to Coffee Lounge to have the paper signed and posted because it had to be postmarked today.. And now here I am, venting my frustrations on the keyboard *and trust me the key board is getting hammered!* I still have to go to the store and buy some food, and do the massive amount of dishes that we have piled in the kitchen because I took this morning to study instead of do the dishes... And I have Alexa who wants to learn how to tell time.. if only I had more hours in my day, really I just need more hours.

So I'm feelin' nutty :)
