Can you ever just be whelmed?
A line from one of my favorite teeny bopper movies: 10 things I hate about you!
I'm whelmed! Not overwhelmed yet just whelmed! I've got a bunch on my tiny plate right now and need to get more organized than my usually organized self. Here is what I am thinking about at this current second...
picking my daughter up from school early (Wednesdays are early release which means I have less time to do what I need to do)...and here I am blogging hahaha!
I have 3 assignments due this week and I have only begun the research!
My communications class is proving to be a challenge in so many ways! There is a lot more reading and writing and this week I also have to make a power point presentation which I have not done before!
My new blog and reviews and giveaways...I have a folder now just for my blog stuff!
ChunkyMonkey (aka Jay) has regressed again into complete shut down mode, when he gets sick all progress that was made goes right out the window!
Spring break is coming up and I do want to do something fun but with so much going on and time isn't slowing down for me to catch up I'm not sure we will do much it may have to wait until May! But I am still thinking about it and researching stuff!
There are other stupid little things on my mind all the time but those are just a FEW of the biggies! I am also doing a week of drastic dieting to see if I can lose another 10 pounds....Im hungry and tired! I am so tired that today I forgot to put coffee in the maker and just made a pot of hot water!
So I am whelmed, but whats new?!

Move In With a Grandparent
Quite a few kids live with grandparents who take care of them in place of their moms or dads. These are often loving relationships, but it can be a challenging situation for both the kid and the grandparent. Kids who live with grandparents may miss their moms or dads and wish they could live with them instead. The grandparent may find it difficult to keep up with a kid and all of his or her needs.
Talk with your grandparent, or another trusted adult, if you have some of these feelings. Often the solution is that both the kid and the grandparent work together. The grandkid can help by working hard in school, staying out of trouble, and helping around the house. The grandparent can try to be understanding about what it's like to be a kid these days. Loving and caring for each other can be the glue that keeps everything together.
And one more thing: You might want to put the first Sunday
