College Widow

I know the title "college widow" sounds very strange, but that is how I feel.  Nick had about a week off and he is back to school at nights.  Nick works a very labor intensive job all day long and goes to school at night.  Today it was 108, needless to say he came home smelling fantastic.  He's going to school for engineering.  We are huge supporters of education, I have 2 bachelors and a masters.



I can't wait until Nick is done with school.  I joke with him that I'm a single mom because there are days when our kids don't get to see him.  Tonight was his first day of summer school and after he left, it went nuts in our house.  It started with Mena only eating bbq sauce for dinner and then I gave her yogurt so she would eat something....it got all over her.  It was close to bed time, so she ran around in her diaper.

I tried skyping with my parents and had to contend with Xander's drool, Moose (our dog) trying to jump on the table and then Mena decided to take all the wipes out of the container.  She had a huge pile, showed me them and called it a pillow.  She then sat on the floor and covered her whole body in wipes.  Very soon after, Xander started crying and so did Moose.

I'm glad that Nick is back at school and will some day be done, but in the mean time....it sucks.
