    Emptied out all the useless kitchen\dining room things out of my hutch and bought baskets that will slide in to the bottom and organizers for the drawers. Now, my youngest 3 can store all of their individual school books in there...right next to where we do the majority of our school! I also have enough room to put pens, pencils, tape, glue, markers, scissors, math games...I don't know why I didn't do this years ago!!

      One of the perks is that I ended up with 4 boxes full of stuff that I realized needs to go into a yard sale...so maybe I'll earn a little extra cash to buy more books! :)

    I have a whole week free to do cleaning\sorting\organizing...and all I want to do is sleeping\resting\relaxing.

    Finishing the last 12 weeks of school is so hard!

    I'm so tired of cvc words.

    I really hate it when I agree to do something I really, really don't want to do.

    Ever have one of those headaches that makes it painful to listen to your kids talk?

    My local library sucks. It's costing me too much money.

      I know...what is up with that? I'll be doing my thing and all of a sudden there's these 6 people looking at me like they expect me to do something about the fact that they are hungry. I just fed them like 6 hours ago! Sheesh!

      Tonight I was helping ds16 make cookies for his Spanish class party tomorrow. When we finished he said, "I've been in the kitchen for like, 2 hours!" I have him "the look" and he said, "Oh, yeah. I guess you're in here that long every day." Yeah, buddy. I wish it was only 2 hrs. per day. And I didn't even make him wash all the dishes!

    Groceries in the rain...yuck.

  10. 5LittleMonkeys

    I'm really, really tired of cooking for 7 people. That is all.

      Me, too, sometimes. Unless I have an assistant making gingerbread and feeding me dough. Then it's worth it. ;)

    Just finished up more Algebra word problems with oldest ... aliens and purple hats.

    Why do my Christmas lights get contrary every year? The whole tree was blinking...now only the top. So annoying.

  13. 5LittleMonkeys

      I had to do a double take because I had just posted the exact same status on FB and I couldn't figure out how it would have gotten on here lol!

      Oh gosh that's funny! I'll bet there is the exact same thing posted on lots of FB pages this week. :)

    My sister just took all 5 of my kids to a movie. This is the first time in months...maybe even over a year...that I have been completely alone in this house. Weird.

      OMG I need my alone time..more than that, for sure! So nice to be able to just listen to....nothing....;)

      The nothingness is making me nervous...going to turn some music on.

  17. 5LittleMonkeys

    We had a nice Thanksgiving with family, but now I'm happy to have the weekend with no phone, no visiting, no shopping, not answering the door....no obligations at all. Just games, movies, reading, some sewing, and each other.

  18. 5LittleMonkeys

    Most of my Christmas shopping is done, my house is clean, my food for tomorrow is prepped, I had time to repaint the fireplace, and now I'm sitting down to watch Spartacus with hubby. :)

    I like the View New Content by content type feature.

    Where is my rum?

  21. 5LittleMonkeys

    Just found this nifty little feature...how cool! Really great for those times when you want to share but don't necessarily need feedback.
