the waking up is the hardest part

I spilled coffee on my shirt on the way to school. Boo. Luckily, I am wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants so I guess I wasn't too presentable to start with. I tried to get some of it out with a wet paper towel, but it made the stain bigger and more noticeable. My tide-to-go pen is in my purse at home. I hope I didn't just set the tone for my day (or week).

I have three papers that I am trying to complete. I also have to correct my research proposal because the second part was jacked up pretty badly. Fun stuff. I am starting to really get sick of school. A few more weeks...

I have several social obligations coming up...Family group Sunday after church, Sunday school dinner Friday night, celebrating my mom's birthday Saturday (it's really the 27th), theyfloydfam is coming to see theshubertfam in a few weekends, I'm sure there will be a Halloween party or two, and there are more things but my brain isn't working right now.

Friday night I had dinner with Beth and Olivia. It was fun! Brooks stayed in Beth's garage while we went. He was such a spaz-0. I have pictures that I will post later this week. Olivia is getting so big! She has changed since the last time I saw her. She slept the entire time. She is such a good baby. It's because Beth has set high standards for her ;-)

I stayed the night at my parents' Friday night and spent the day with them Saturday. Mom is tired and still not feeling that great. The hospital (in Arkansas) called last night and said that she has a virus, so she is having some blood work done today.

Sadly, there are no Brooks stories to tell. He has been sleeping for a few days. He is still tired from our weekend trip, and he had a bath. He probably won't be fully recovered until the weekend, and then we are going back to Jasper. He has such a tough job. Okay, enough procrastinating for the morning. I still have a few minutes to work on papers before class...
