Whoo-hoo!!

I have spent the last 2 or 3 weeks convincing myself that I will be fine if I don't get into the OT program at U of U this year. I would give extra attention to Josh and his therapy and I would get a job. Things would be great. Then I got an e-mail....THE email. U of U wants me to interview!!! Now this doesn't mean that I am definitely in but it means I am 1/2 way there.

The interview is an all day event on March 4. I am super excited and kind of freaking out but it is going to be awesome!

Where has all the time gone?

Ah, home from school. Go pee. See Tyler, talk with him, give him a kiss goodbye. Settle down with BioMed, a pen, and index cards. Quick, only 1/2 an hour before Josh gets home!!

Wait! Was that the bus? Go check...nope. Back to taking notes.

I hear a bus! Run! Wrong bus. Back to taking notes.

Crap!! The bus driver is honking at me because they are tired of waiting for me. Run! So excited to see my little boy. Apologize to bus driver.

Inside, ask Josh about his day. Guess what he might have done while he shakes his head yes or no. Wish he could tell me stories about his friends.

Tell Josh he needs to go play so mommy can study a bit more. Study, study, take notes.

(from upstairs) "MAMA!" "You have to come down stairs to talk with Mom." "MAMA!" (clomp, clomp, clomp)

"MAMA!" "How do we talk to Mama?" "mama" "You want me to put on your cape?" (shakes head yes) "-s-s-s-Superman or b-b-b-b-Batman?" "GA!" "S-S-S-S-uperman or B-B-B-B-B-B-atman?" (shakes head yes on Batman) Instruct Josh how to put lips together and make the "B" sound. "Ba!" Put on Batman cape and go back to studying.

Repeat cape fiasco.

And Again.

30 minutes, only 2 pages down.

Lunch.

Clean up lunch and house.

Try to study.

Tell Josh to get out of the kitchen and not play with kitchen utensils. (from front room) CLANK CLANK CLANK! "Bring back the spoons! Get out of the front room, it isn't a playroom!"

(Josh comes in with books and throws them on my BioMed book). Read books. Read more books.

Feel like bad mom, go play with Josh.

Put Josh in my bed for movie time.

Quick! Study like a mad woman!!

Josh comes back up. Whew! Just finished!...BioMed...still have Medical Terminology, Anthropology and/or Theatre.

House is a wreck again, dinner needs to be made. Can't find any spoons to make dinner, decide to clean instead. Find all spoons in front room.

Make dinner, eat, clean up.

Ah...the internet.
