My sweet Bug is home

Today was one of those days that happens once in a blue moon! Maxwell was very well behaved and the most pleasant child to be around. It must be a full moon or something. He sat in front of the TV and watched Elmo and Barney while I worked on school stuff. My Law 102 class was canceled for this semester and I had to do some fast thinking and I needed him to be good for me while I was doing that fun activity. I was able to get into a Law 100 class which is okay but that Law 102 class was only 5 weeks and way more conducive with our schedule. My new class is all semester and on a night that isn't perfect but will work for us as of now. I was able to get 3 of my 5 classes online and only have to go to the college for 2 of my classes which will be very nice. I am really looking forward to starting school in August and there is something about going back as an adult that makes me more excited than anyone can understand. Chas has been so very supportive and has pushed me into school. He stayed on top of me getting my financial aid and making sure I followed through with my goals. I think my excitement is contagious since he helped me get some school supplies tonight.

I wasn't able to get much done around the house because Charlie was being very fussy. It would be so nice to have both boys be well behaved for one day so I could get more done but I'm not looking for that to happen anytime soon.

Catie got home tonight and I was so excited to see her sweet face. She kept saying how much she missed us and we had a great conversation at dinner. In honor of her coming home we let her have a store bought pot pie which is one of her favorites. She left her bathing suit at Granny and PopPops and I had to run up to KMart and get her another one. The one I had gotten her at the beginning of summer had a longer top to help hide her tummy but I wasn't lucky enough to find one of those. I got her this striped number with a rhinestone "bling" on the belt and the top was one of those triangle tops. It was very cute and I was convinced she would like it more than the other suit she lost. She tried it on and was SOOOO excited and told me she thought I was going to get her a "decent" bathing suit! We all went swimming and now everyone seems to be melting down around me! Max is insisting on eat a peach and Chas has to go to the store for an ice cream run and Max seems to be convinced we are going to McDonalds. He is in for a shock in about 10 minutes.

Max and Chas go to Kroger quite a bit each week and while they always come back with stuff we need, I think they go to get away from Charlie man and Catie and of course me! When they walk into Kroger it is like Cheers. Everyone knows Max and if they don't say hello to him he yells at them until they come over and speak with him. He is too cute these days and makes me laugh all the time. The stuff that comes out of his mouth still blows my mind. It shocks me that a year ago all he did was cry and we were trying so hard to get him back on track. These days he seems more advanced in vocabulary than most 2 year olds I see and needs to be on a sitcom. He is SOOOO funny. I need to start writing down the things he says because I seem to forget what he says by bedtime.

I am sorry this is such a rambling post but so much has happened today and my mind is jumbled. I hope that writing this blog will help me with my English Lit class! It always sounds good in my head but I have such a hard time putting it on paper.

Well it is off to bed for 2 tired little boys and 1 very sleepy girl.
