A week of changes

This week brings many changes to our household. First, I go back to school this week. Ugh! I will have two hard science classes plus two other fillers, so I will definitely be busy. The other change comes from the fact that our family size for the next 7 days has been reduced from 5 to 3. Jadon and Cole went with my mom, dad, and grandma down to Carlsbad/San Diego for the week. This was supposed to be a trip for us all, but with my classes starting the same week that the vacation did, I had to forgo the trip.

So far today everything has been a breeze. I thought Carter would be really lonely without J and C, but so far he is hanging in there. He occasionally looks for them or thinks he hears them and gets excited and he has needed more mommy time than usual, but overall it has been better than I expected. Moreover, this is the first time I have known what it is like to only have one child. Wow! It is SOOOO easy. We ran errands all morning and got twice as much stuff done in the time in normally takes with all three. There was no fighting or naughty behavior. Well, acutally, in the post office Carter was shouting that he wanted to go to the car, but that eventually gave way to the Happy Birthday song, which everyone in line seemed to enjoy. On friday, Carter and I will drive down to Carlsbad for the day and join the family at Legoland. It is the only day I don't have class (I even have class all day Saturday) and someone needs to be there who can tolerate riding the roller coasters with Cole 7 million times.

I haven't heard the Biggest Loser update for the week yet, but I will include that in my next post. By the way, this site seems to be having some kind of spell checker melt down and I don't have time to proof these, so if the spelling is terrible, well, then you know how I really spell!
