count down

So I wanted to do a count down for some things that are coming up and then all of a sudden everything is passed and I only have one thing on my list. Which is good but everything is going by so fast and I feel so wrapped up in school and just getting by that I am sorry to say that I am really stressed out! Well here are a few things that have happened lately...

1) Finals and passing my classes
2) Twins in nursery (they actually turn 18 months on Friday but I took them in early!)
3) Summer here, which means no more daycare!
4) Bailey's baby born(Maddox!)
5) summer financial aid for school!!!

Some things still in the future...

1) Last A&P final on Wednesday
2) Jillian have baby!
3) live and breath
4) start my summer Chemistry class
5) Mom and Dad leave (I only add this because I know that they need it and also because that means I am done with school)

Ok so while I am at it some things that make me smile

1) Tristin's smile when he is about to do something that he doesn't want you to see!
2) Gavin getting down and a little funky to the music, whether in the car or at the park or even when there is no music at all.
3) my kids trying to have a "real" conversation with me even though they aren't saying anything coherent.
4) the little tushes on my kids when they walk around with no diaper.
5) getting a 90% or above on my Anatomy tests
6) the way that Tristin waddles around like he's trying not to fall over forwards.
7) the obsession that the boys have with dogs and tell me when they hear one bark somewhere in the neighborhood.
8) how proud Gavin gets with himself when I tell him good job for doing something like using a fork to eat. That smile is to die for!
9) the way they light up when I walk in the room after being gone at school all day.
10) how nice my kids can be to each other even when I'm not looking, bringing their cup to each other or kissing each other.

I could go on but I think it is plain that I do actually get a few smiles out when it comes to my kids.
