Sleepy Boys and books

My Maxwell is too darn funny! So last night he fell asleep in Charlie's bouncy seat all on his own! He was so cute and when he is sleeping like that I just want to snuggle him all night. It makes the bad day that we had seem to disappear. He is turning into such a mouthy monster. I was taking a nap on the couch the other day and Chas got onto Max and so Max (so much like his mother) mouthed off to his dad and I lifted my head up off the couch and told him to knock it off and be nice. Do you know what that little imp said to me???? He told me that I needed to go back to my pillow! GRRRR! He is such a smart mouth monster. Then today we were watching tv at Karen's and a commercial of that Vagasil testing kit came on the television and Max got very upset saying that he didn't want that stuff! We assured him he would never have to use it as long as he lived. Bless his heart.

Well after I got done at Karen's I went over to Gallatin to get my school books from the Textbook Brokers. If I would have bought my books at the bookstore on campus it would have cost me a fortune PLUS I don't have my leftover financial aide check as of now and there is no way I could buy my books out of pocket. So there is this bookstore across the street that is awesome! Not only do they sell the textbooks BUT they will hold your check until your financial aide comes through and then you go back and pay the bill or they just put it through your checking account. Well I didn't realize just how many books I needed until today. As the very young clerk went to go get my books he kept having to make trips back to the counter to drop them off and I watched this stack of books grow before my very eyes. The total came to $477.00 and I almost had a heart attack! At least the state is paying for it since I got that Federal Pell Grant. Thank goodness for that or I would be in lots of trouble. So now I have my books and backpack and pencils and notebook and I have to wait 2 more weeks! I feel like a kid starting school for the first time and I just can't wait. Im sure my tune will change once the homework rolls in and then I will not be as excited. My books are so pretty and colorful and filled with information to help me and my family have a great future. Unfortunately my hubby saw the receipt and forbid the kids to go anywhere near those books. Im suprised they are not under lock and key. I love him but he such a tight ass!


Here are all my books! English Comp 101, Law 100, Music Appreciation, Algebra, and Sociology 101


Well we are off to go to a baseball game tonight! The band Jars of Clay are playing before the game and my mother in law is a HUGE fan and so we all get to go see Jars of Clay perform and then Dee and Bailey and Ashley and Max are going back to Lebanon and Chas, his dad, Catie and myself are sticking around for the game. I will have lots of pics to post!!!
