Dear Blogland,

Mind if I  weasel my way back into existence? I've been.... aloof.  I'm sorry I haven't been a good reader/commenter much either.  A lot has been going on for the past 5 weeks but have I blogged about it, reallly blogged about it?  Of course not...it's been fun too.  So hows about an update...tomorrow... orrrr sometime.  When my head doesn't feel like it's going to explode.. and my body will stop rejecting dinner.

But things are swell I have ONE more final which I get to take FIVE whole days before the rest of the class.  suckas. WOO HOO!  All my other teachers let me take the final early too... the only one I know how I did was a 100%.  HaaaaaaEY.  :p  My teachers love me... and for darn good reason!  I was reviewing this past semester in my head and I realized a few things:

1. I never once missed class (except my monday morning class once when I was on a plane...I still need to blog about that trip... I DID make it to my Monday evening classes though, naturally)
2. I never missed an assignment for any of my classes
3. being a mom, with a photography business, makes being a full-time student difficult.  But check it- I managed! (See 1 & 2)

The best part of my week thus far was yesterday.  I was minding my own business in theory class when out of the blue my teacher writes my name on the board.... along with 6 others or so.  Then she made the announcement that I was exempt from my final!!  Talk about RELIEF!  Actually doing all my work and getting A's on my tests really paid off... I literally did a heel kick on my way out the music building door.  AHH!  (I'm really happy I don't have to take that, can you tell?)

Brody lately:




I was out of cereal one morning so...

I was cut off when asking him if he's ever even had one before. According to Tony he has so that made sense of his excitement! OH BOY OH BOY! haha. Cutie.

(If you are wondering if he's asked for donuts every morning since, I'd have to say yes.)

When you brush your kids teeth for the night and make train noises this is what you go in to find later:

I love this little boy!

Oh and a happy 200th post to me.

Hmmm... this looks like an update now don't it.  Well there's plenty more where that came from.  I'll tell ya later... if I survive the next few days.
