Hudson with his new backpack and with Stephanie when she came to visit!

Hudson and Grandma Griffin on her Birthday! It was nice to have her visit!

I feel so spaghetti-brained the last few days. I've been riding my bike to and from the two different jobs that I've been juggling like so many weighted balls. The plus side is that I'm losing weight and I fit in my "skinny" pants again. But I'm also EXHAUSTED and forget things alot. Hopefully next week will be better. I will have the car and I will be working only the one job during the week and the other only on Friday. (We'll see how long that lasts now that they won't give me the $1/hr daycare unless I'm physically there working) I am shopping around for other daycares. I really like the preschool there, so maybe I'll keep Hudson in on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a while... Bah

The good news is I love my ISS job. It's nice. I've read The Host by Stephanie Meyer and done a few scrapbook layouts this week... AND GOT PAID FOR IT!!! Ain't life grand?

Hudson is cute as a bug, as usual. He's got a new backpack with wheels that has Spiderman on it. He ADORES it, takes it everywhere with him. He's such a cook! :)

I don't know what's up with my layout, I'll fix it later!

So, lots and lots has happened in the last two weeks. For starters, I am not longer attending MSUN to get my teaching certificate. :( They screwed up on my WUE scholarship and are requiring me to pay out of state tuition, which I can't afford and don't want to go into THAT much debt. So I withdrew...

I've had the stomach flu (norwalk virus) 2 weeks ago and strep throat today. I am hoping my immune system picks up here pretty quick.

Also, I got another job! I'm a parapro at Havre, Highschool and I'll work 9 hrs a day Monday through Thursday and work at the Daycare on Friday. That way I'll still get the $1/hr day care and discount on Hudson's preschool.

Hudson really enjoys preschool. His teacher says he's hyper. I think it's mostly because his nap is usually 1-3 so he's running on fumes by the time he's out of preschool. I hope he can handle it, if not I'll have to pull him out and wait until next year. (He is only 2 still so they had to make an exception for him. He may not be emotionally ready, or the time slot may just be really bad for him...) He knows all the stuff she's going over this year with them, ABC's, colors, and opposites. So I'm not worried about him falling behind. Yesterday he found a national geographic in the waiting room of the social security office and he told the nice little old lady next to us all about it. "These are hydropipics, in egypt, and the little einsteins went there in rocket! It is in the desert and very dry." The lady was impressed, and I felt some "mommy pride". I don't want to be the bragging type of mom....but.... HE IS SO SMART! And cute.
