Thank God! This week is over!

Me and the nephew (Brady)

I was lucky enough to have parents that didn't leave my brothers and I alone so that they could go gallivanting all over the world. But now that my brothers and I are all in our 20s I think my parents decided it was time to take a vacation. They went on a 7 day cruise. Which left me to watch my nephew (this duty usually belongs to my mother)...all week. Every morning at 8:30 he would be dropped off by his mother, pop tart in one hand milk in the other, SCREAMING his little brains out. It's tough for a one year old to be bounced from one house to another and I understand that but I swear by the time Tuesday afternoon rolled around I was completely convinced that I never wanted to have children. Now that it is Saturday afternoon I kind of miss the little guy but I definitely don't want to take care of him for another 5 days in a row, I'll leave that to my mother.

I also thought that my nephew broke my phone, it has since been fixed but I almost gave the kid to the guy at Verizon so I wouldn't have to deal with him (and my broken cell).

On a completely different note...I have to start getting ready for school. I have only planned the first 3 weeks for each of my 3 different grades, which I think is a huge accomplishment in itself, but I still have a long way to go. I also have to get together with the varsity cheerleader coach so that I can start planning what to do with my junior high cheerleaders. The girls are really sweet but they are basically first year cheerleaders and I'm a first year coach so we have to work hard if we want to be any good. It is going to be an extremely stressful year.

I don't know what I'm doing. I just know that I'll make it through even if it means less sleep and more coffee.
