Another Blog Award and Las Vegas on the Horizon
Angela, my favorite chaotic mommy, has bestowed me with a beautimus blog award - the Less Than Three award. Less than what? How is less than anything an award? Unless I’m some prodigy I’m older than three. Well, I *am* a prodigy but I’m also a heckuva lot older than 3…like more than 30 years older than 3. *gasp* Okay kidding, I’m not a prodigy. What I am is a sleepless mommy who is looking forward to a vacation. More on that later. Less Than Three is <3. In emoticon speak that is a heart, Angela *hearts* my blog - awww! Thanks for putting a smile on my face!!
I am exhausted, absolutely drained. I dropped a class six weeks into the course and with a 95% in the class because I just don’t have the time or energy to continue. The class was taken through a different school than the one my degree program is housed at so there is no impact on my grade. Since the school is a junior college I’m only out about $200 as opposed to $700. I can handle losing $200 for some peace of mind. I’m still taking two classes - phonetics and anatomy & physiology of speech & hearing. Last week I had what was likely the most difficult test of my life - the focus of the text was the larynx. The two inches, or so, of space in your neck known as the larynx - I know all of the bones, muscles, cartilages, etc in the larynx. For the record there is only one bone, the hyoid bone. Now you’ve learned something new for today! 
Last night my daughter was in my bed by midnight absolutely petrified. As I’ve mentioned previously she sleeps on a toddler bed in my room so the migration was all of two feet but it made her feel comfy. Then about 2:30 my son comes running in because he had nightmares. Daddy was already on the couch sleeping (he’s smart, no one gets any sleep in the damned bedroom anyhow). The two kiddos proceed to argue about who gets to be in the bed. Those two can’t sleep together. My daughter finally gave up and decided to go back to her little bed. Now I’m glad she has the language to do something so typical as arguing with her big brother - why oh why does it have to be at 2:30 am though??? *yawns*
This weekend hubby and I are getting.out.of.town! Three nights in Vegas. We are planning on sleeping…a LOT!! We have three nights comp’d at the Wynn Las Vegas so the trip is actually a pretty reasonable one. Airfare…show tickets…fancy dinner…martinis…buffet…martinis…martinis. Yes I indulge in a martini from time-to-time; not often since I usually have the kids with me. I foresee a few “extra” martinis this weekend. I figure if we’re going to sin city I’m going to indulge in some of my vices - fine food, fine martinis, and POKER! LOL
I have a busy couple of days ahead of me - if you don’t see me post please don’t be sad, I’ll be back! hehe <3
