Crazy Busy Week

This made me chuckle but it basically sums up the week I've had! 

Between long hours at work, sickness in the house, finishing up some tutu/hairbow orders, and writing my graduate school essay,  it has been quite hectic around here and no time to take any fun pictures or blog :(

I will be very relieved once I have my essay complete!  I'm doing a lot of this...

And it is so frustrating because writing has always come easy to me.  I think I am discouraged with the fact that I have applied 3 other years with no acceptance so I feel that if I don't have a 100% perfect essay, I will fail yet another year! I just have to keep thinking positive and it also helps that I have more work experience to back up my goals!  I"m getting there, just going to take me some time :)

But on a happy note,  I celebrated my 1 year anniversary at my job yesterday.  It seems unreal that I have already been there for that long. Although, its been a very challenging year,  I do enjoy my job and I'm thankful for the ability to be able to work part time and still be able to spend a lot of time with the kids.

And with all the stress that this week brought, I decided that we needed a mini vacation and booked a trip to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells for the weekend.  So tomorrow after 4K and also I am the parent helper tomorrow, we will be getting the heck out of town for some much needed family time! 

Waterpark fun...here we come!
