			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I started my certification courses this week, and its been really hard to find the time to study properly (and yet, don&#8217;t I preach that all the time to the kids???). Today, I made the commitment to spend all of naptime getting through one of my books, and I did it. Not only that, but I took the exam. And I got 100%!</p>
<p>I seriously was freaking that I forgot how to study, that I would flunk or completely forget what I&#8217;d read. I guess my over-organization is helping. I&#8217;m glad I actually went and bought my binder and such and set things up for success before I started.</p>
<p>Onto an even bigger lesson book now &#8211; but this one at least looks a little more entertaining. Maybe it won&#8217;t be so hard to study this time around! <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, so far this week, things have gone pretty well. Ricky got in trouble on Tuesday night, so the house has been fairly stress free and kind of quiet. I didn&#8217;t realize just how much I stress about when he is outside, getting into Lord knows what. At least when he&#8217;s grounded I know where he is!</p>
<p>It was testing week at the school. The kids said it was easy, which is good to hear. Last year didn&#8217;t go so well for Caiti. She was really upset when her results came in in August. I&#8217;m a little concerned on how Ricky did. His teacher has been discussing holding him back because of social skills and behavior issues.</p>
<p>Wyn has been such a little pill all week long. She has gotten into everything from here to the other end of the house. It doesn&#8217;t matter if I&#8217;m watching or not it seems. I think part of it has been that she&#8217;s sore from her teeth all coming in, and she&#8217;s frustrated. Brae is fussy too &#8212; she has the flu, and she can&#8217;t seem to sleep well.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been talking to the other kids all week long. Cian is having quite the adventure with her Captain Jack Sparrow. She comes up with the greatest stuff. Audrey is fiesty &#8211; she made me laugh when she tried to keep her sister from playing with her playdo (&#8220;I touched it, and I&#8217;m sick, so now you can&#8217;t touch it!&#8221;). Kierdan is a little busy body.</p>
<p>Chuck&#8217;s been working a lot of overtime this week. He got home after 7 almost every night this week. He&#8217;s beat. He even worked for 3 hours today &#8230; I&#8217;m glad he napped when he came home, he needed it!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still sick of course &#8212; but as someone once told me, Moms don&#8217;t get sick days. So of course &#8230; I&#8217;ve been cooking and cleaning like normal. You kinda have to, at least to keep up with the laundry!</p>
<p>Mom starts physical therapy this week. I&#8217;m a little nervous. She&#8217;s supposed to be only on the brace now, but it still seems so very painful for her, that I don&#8217;t know that PT is the best thing yet. She says she can feel pain in the clot areas. I&#8217;m hoping that the extra activity doesn&#8217;t throw a clot. That would be the last thing we need.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to get myself motivated to get some leads for my event company. I just can never seem to get out of my funk and get stuff done. I always get more energy at night, and Lord knows thats not when businesses work! Maybe next week <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m off to do more diaper duty <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
