Feelin' the heat

Okay, the temps are rising here and it's starting to get hot in my house. But the weather isn't the only heat I am feeling right now. Summer school is proving to be a challenge for me. I am not doing poorly, but it is a lot of work to keep up in this class. As a result of the added stress, "Crazy Mommy" made her first appearance since summer school began. If you were to ask my darling husband (DH) about "crazy mommy" he would give you one of two responses. He would either say, "Crazy mommy? I don't know what you are talking about." Which, by the way is the correct response. Or he would say, "Crazy mommy's first appearance? She has been here since summer school began." Whatever the case, I am convinced that the pressure will let up a tiny bit once I am not trying to get these kids ready for school before I leave for school in the morning. I am looking forward to next week when my DH is done with work for the school year and I can leave it all in his hands in the morning.

Let me tell you what this all boils down to. I was unprepared. Instead of making lunches last night, I studied for my test. Which is a good thing, but I should have taken the time to get the lunches made. And instead of getting Preston's stuff together for his party, I waited until this morning. We all know that when I am disorganized, it's a recipe for insanity. It was totally my fault. I should have been more prepared last night and maybe, just maybe, "Crazy mommy" would not have made her appearance this morning. Okay, who am I kidding? She would have been here, just maybe not quite as crazy!

On another note. The test went well, I think. Due to the crazy schedule in summer school, our professor hasn't had much time to get grading done. In fact, he just posted the grades from last week's quiz tonight. He thinks he may have the tests graded by Thursday, which would be nice. I really do feel for the guy. He starts class at 7:30 in the morning with my lab. There are two labs for this class. He has a ten minute break between our morning lab and lecture. Everyone goes to the same lecture. After lecture, he has a ten minute break and starts the afternoon lab for this class. The guy is teaching from 7:30 to 2:30 with only two ten minute breaks. I am sure that the last thing he feels like doing once he finishes the afternoon lab is grading a bunch of homework and quizzes.

Well, I have to run and check laundry. Which reminds me of another reason that "Crazy mommy" made her appearance this morning. You see, mommy hasn't done any laundry lately and the only thing mommy had to wear to school today was her short shorts. That was another reason that mommy jumped the barrier to become "Crazy mommy." Tonight, mommy has made the lunches for tomorrow and done some laundry along with five hours of studying to avoid another performance from "Crazy mommy" tomorrow. I am sure mommy's DH and children appreciate the preparation and organization! And I appreciate grace! It's days like these that I need it most! Thank God for His grace and for showing His grace and love through my DH and kids who haven't held "Crazy mommy's" appearance against me!
