Amazing Freedom

So I don't even know how long it's been since the last blog...but I know it's been a while! The room is now completely done! (Well, it does need cable, but I'm surviving...I've never been one for much tv anyway.), but only had one

These aren't the final pictures, it has carpet and minimal furniture. Speaking of carpet...
My dad and I were bringing up the carpet for the room. We had a fan leaning against the chimney to air out the primer--it was bad! My dad was in front and knocked it over. I went to pick it up, but only had one hand...I used my knee to push the bottom out. Here's the fan...

The fan was still on when I did this...there's no back to the fan...here's the bruise--

Anyway, I've also started taking classes. Tuesdays I go to History and Thursday is Math. Things are a little rough, but they're also just starting. It's also been a while since I've last taken classes, so...
This past weekend was the Women of Faith conference in Philadelphia. It was sooooo awesome! I had gone 2 years ago and opted out last year. I'm so glad I didn't! I laughed, I cried...I learned so much! Hopefully it's a new start. I've been trying to be more patient with Mikey--Elijah has been at his dad's this weekend. So far it's not too bad. I've also been taking care of my mom. She came with us to the conference--she's actually the leader--and got sick.
I'm going to try and keep up with this more frequently than I have been lately. Oh! How could I forget. As I was about to feed Mikey tonight, I was holding him and he put my finger in his mouth...I thought that I was just imagining things again--like I have been this past two months--but I wasn't. HE CUT HIS FIRST TOOTH!!! I'm hoping that once it comes through all the way, he'll sleep a little better. That would help out a lot, because I've been having some trouble managing things...between kids, work and school! Something has to give and I'm afraid I can't sacrifice any more sleep than I already am. LOL
Okay, so I think I'm going to go now...take care!
