Life

is more stressful than I'd like it to be today.

I had a nice relaxing day that included sleeping in AND a nap, but yet I'm feeling overwhelmed.

I blame the fact that I did so little today (and yesterday) and now I feel frazzled playing catch-up from last week and such.

The boys and homework are about to kill me.  When did schools start requiring so much!?  I do not remember high school being so much work.  I stress over it but Jake does all the actual work with them.  That fact stresses me out even more because he will be gone part of next semester and he helps Beau a lot.

I just paid bills, I love online payments, and I love that my water bill comes in a nice blue envelope so I can see it easily.  It helps me to remember it is due when it is among my stack of papers on my computer desk.

Jake is in the kids' room with them and I believe he is attempting to study for his final while they play, I doubt he's able to study, it sounds pretty wild in there.

I am listening to Pandora's Christmas radio station online, it's kinda helping with the stress, kinda.

Well I guess that's enough complaining for today.

we thought he looked like a little monkey)
