Me to Shadow this morning...

Me to Shadow this morning after he woke up to get ready for school (both of us sleepy and groggy in the hallway):

"You can't shower and you have to pee outside.  Happy Birthday."

So the Man-Cub is 16 today.  We have no water, but we have a plumber on the way.  I missed class and I'm late for work.  Shadow's home, as well, because me and Shaun were up all night vacuuming and cleaning so I know he didn't sleep well.  Not to mention that I'm pretty sure it's torture to send a 16 year old anywhere without a shower.  😂

Shadow has hung in there with me through 16 years of me never quite having my shit together as much as I'd like.  And he's ALWAYS been a good sport about it.  I knew I was a lucky mom before he was even born.  When he got here he was the happiest, cutest, goofiest baby, and he's still happy, cute, and goofy - just not so little anymore.  He's 100% been the best surprise of my life and from pregnancy through watching him grow up - definitely the most interesting thing to ever happen to me.  Life as a young single mom with a kid hasn't always been easy, but every minute has been WORTH IT.

Thanks for being awesome, kid.  I love you all the way.  ❤

1:30 in the morning and...

So... 1:30 in the morning and with both me and Shaun trying our hardest we're just now to the point where most of the water is up.

Since the water is turned off Shaun's on his 3rd trip to Wal-Mart for the day to get a few jugs of water for hand-washing and tooth-brushing and such. 

Does anyone have a good plumber to recommend?

So tired. So much water left to clean up. 😳 Just wow.

So tired. So much water left to clean up. 😳 Just wow. 

On the bright side my floors are gonna be super clean, I guess.

I just got home.

I just got home. No Biology grade. Trig probably won't be posted for 2 weeks. And my house is full of water because a pipe burst. 

Anxiety. 😳🙁

Ok, well, it's 5:30 and no Biology test grade yet. 🙁

Ok, well, it's 5:30 and no Biology test grade yet.  🙁  I'm sitting here having anxiety like I can't even tell you... And no - I wasn't able to stop myself from checking Blackboard constantly.  🙁  I did manage to go over Trig enough that I also feel ok-ish on that, but we'll see.

I am giving myself a headache with all this stressing out I'm doing.  I think it's time to take some Excedrin and get ready for class.  😕

Later, friends.

For better or worse...

Ok.  For better or worse the Biology test is behind me.  It is done.  I feel like I don't even want to say this because the last time I said this, I failed... but:  I feel ok about that test, so...  ¯\(°_o)/¯

Now I'm back home.  The animals are fed and the house is quiet.  Well - aside from Storm occasionally trying to flip a Kuranda dog bed.  😂😂😂  I'm in a good head space to practice Trig (as long as I can keep myself from obsessively checking Blackboard for my grade), so off I go.

Later, peeps.  ❤

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.  Shadow just came in my room while I was studying for the Trig test that's coming up tomorrow and saw this Unit Circle and chart up on my screen. He asked me what kind of Math I was doing.  I was like, "This is Trig."  He goes "I just need to give you a hug for that."

He's so good.  It's nice to feel appreciated because my whole damn life hurts this semester.  It has been grueling and so hard.  This - paired with Biology - is killer.  I am also in History, as well as still working at SCM and tutoring math for GSCC.

If I can just survive tomorrow (Biology AND Trig test, all in one day), I will be ok.  😳
