Hey, It's me, The Complainer

I'm trying to not complain. I don't have much to complain about, really. I'm complaing about getting B's or how 1/2 point took me from a B to a C. How does that happen? It's a freakin' half of a point!!!!

I worked and worked on that stuff this week. However, I worked too hard on the new stuff and not enough on the review stuff. I will not get an A on the test that I have studied for all week. Maybe I'm just mad at myself for not realizing all that I needed to do...

Life is good despite my current mood...

...it's warm outside...
...I don't have to do homework tonight if I don't want to...
...I have the change at 30 points of extra credit between two classes...
...I got a nap yesterday...
...my daughter is beautiful and smart....
...and entertaining...

Back When...

Today, I feel like blogging something with real meaning, but I'm only getting mush from my brain. At one time, I had great things to say. But, today... not so much. I think writing so much for school drains the rest of my creativity to write.

Madeline is so much fun at this age. This morning she climbed up to me, put her face right in my face and said, "Ah, there's a smile, Mommy." Then she told me, "Mommy, my tummy hurts. I need a 'tummy egg.'" I have no idea what that is, but I think she thinks that it will make her feel all better. She got a kiss instead. (BTW, I think she was hungry... she fell asleep before dinner last night, and I couldn't wake her up for anything. She got breakfast this morning a little earlier than usual!)

I've Been Distant... I know

I've been just keeping up in my 18 hour course load. However, I just got an "A+" on a paper that mattered from one of the most difficult teachers I have ever had (I mean that in a good way).

I wish I could get a good picture of all of her comments, but I can't. I really enjoyed writing this paper. I got to write about single mother-hood. It was very therapeutic.

Sesame Street:Live!

There's nothing like a kids' show to make a woman feel young again! I had so much fun on Saturday! Oh, Maddie did too, no worries. We both danced, bopped and sang to the music the whole time. My camera phone wasn't working with the lighting or I would have taken pictures for 'ya. I was afraid she might get bored part way through the show or something, but no, she was tuned in the whole time. I did feel pretty young though. Most of the moms around me were "older" (by that I don't mean "old," just 10+ years older than I am). I was the only one I could see boppin' around as much as I was. But I wanted to make sure Maddie stayed interested in the music. That's my excuse, and I'm stickin' to it.

Guess What?

Having a child means that I get to be a child every now and then... We're going to Sesame Street Live tomorrow! I'm excited. I think Madeline will really enjoy it. Of course, I don't get to be a kid the whole time--I had to buy the tickets, I have to drive there and be "the mom (read, really overprotective)," etc.). I think it will be lots of fun! I'll let you know how it goes!
