Momma Monday

Today is the first day of a new semester of college which means I’m one step closer to graduating with my Bachelor’s. Be closer to graduation excites me, but being back at school this semester does not. I think it’s the cold of winter. I would much rather hibernate during these cold days. There is nothing enticing about walking in 24 degrees with a wind chill bringing it down to 13. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, the cold of KY winters is much more brutal than the cold of a Michigan winter. I didn’t mind the winters in Michigan. I really didn’t mind the walk to classes at Michigan State University when there were two feet of snow covering sidewalks even though I was walking much farther than I do now.
Aside from the cold, I am looking forward to my Social Work class. I’m not looking forward to the Biology class so much, but I’ll have it out of the way after this semester, so that’s something positive.
Tomorrow evening is going to be a special night out for just X-man and me. DH Cam is busy busy with work and he gracefully bowed out of the plans for tomorrow. X-man and I are going to see the Harlem Globetrotters! We have floor seats which excites me to no end! X-man says he hopes they don’t pick him to help with any of their stuff, but I think it would secretly make his night.
Friday I will be taking Lil’ C to Paducah to see his ENT Specialist. We’ll just be doing a check up on the tubes they put in his ears last year, so it’s not a big deal appointment. However, I do plan to talk to the Doctor about his snoring. I have never heard a toddler who could saw logs like Lil’ C can. Yesterday we were curled up on the couch together, watching t.v., and he fell asleep. I changed his position so many different ways, hoping to find a quieter position for him, but nothing seemed to help. I’m thinking he must have gotten his father’s sinus issues, but I’m hoping we can get something done or figured out to help him. After the doctor’s we’re going to make a big day out of driving all that way. I think I’ll take him to Chuck E. Cheese and let him play to his hearts content. Then we’ll probably hit a couple of stores. Old Navy clearance racks are calling my name. Actually they are calling Lil’ C’s name… he needs bigger shirts. Why must children grow so quickly? At least we can buy clothes from places like Old Navy that hold up good and don’t stain very easily.
Saturday night our friends, The K’s, came over for a long overdue Spades game. We had a complete blast, even if the Husbands beat us Wives. As we were sitting there talking about great places to eat, and new places to eat, and our schedules, we discovered it was feasible between the households to start getting together on Monday’s every couple of weeks to go on “adventures” and have game nights. So, next Monday we’re going to a hibachi grill for dinner (X-man LOVES hibachis, as do the rest of us), then we’ll play board games back at the house (or at least, one of the houses). I’m hungry just thinking about it. Mmm… chicken and shrimp and steak… mmm…
I really shouldn’t have started thinking about food. I have another hour and a half stuck in the computer lab. I think I’ll go straight for lunch when I leave here. I was going to get a few other things accomplished, but really, food sounds like a much better idea at this point. The rest will get finished eventually.
