Our week!

So here is an update of our week! Friday I finally signed myself up to take the NET test (nursing entrance test) I have been stressing about if for almost a year! I told Shaffen I would take it now because I will still have 1 more opportunity to take it again (if I failed) before I applied for the program in October. I was very freaked out because I know of people who didn't pass the first time and I know someone who has failed it multiple times. Anyways, I was scared to take the math portion because it has been 7 years since I have had any math. I printed out a practice test did the ones I could which was 37 out of 60. Thankfully we have a very smart brother-in-law (Steven) who helped me and taught me how to do the rest. So I am proud to say that I got 100% on my math and was able to pass the entire exam with an 850 score (superior). And my over all scoring was high enough to not have to take it again!!!!!! :) Very exciting, I didn't realize how much stress I was under with this! It has made a huge difference getting it over with!
Also this week Shaffen has switched his shift to day shift. It has been a long time and so far I love it! I don't stress about Conner being to noisy for him to sleep. He has been home with us at night time which the boys LOVE! And Conner has been sleeping throughout the night for the most part. BUT he still gets up at about 6:30am, which is easier to handle because I am not up all night with him!
He is such a mess.....looks so innocent!
But he is so stinking cute and so fun. He doesn't really like being home with us while Covin is in school, but he is tolerating us! We feel so sorry for him because he doesn't know what to do without his brother! Just when I think things are getting better with him sleeping, Shaffen is leaving us Sunday for an entire week! He has training in Utah for 7 days. I am more bummed because Conner is just getting used to everything and then we are changing it up AGAIN! Poor kid! They love their dad like crazy and it will be a hard week for them! AND ME YIKES!!! :)

Another funny thing, now that Shaffen is working during the day he asked Covin if he could come and eat lunch with him at school. Covin was so excited and so we sent a note and asked the teacher if that would be ok....She said yes. So when Covin told me I said then dad can come when he is working. He said, "No, I just want him to wear his regular clothes." I said that he couldn't because he would be working and if you want him in regular clothes then he couldn't come for 2 week because he was going to be gone. Anyways, he tells me that if he comes in his cop clothes all of the kids will think he is going to take them to jail. I died laughing! I didn't know what to say besides dad won't take them to jail. I don't know how we changed his mind, he told me before he left for the bus that he wanted his dad to come to eat with him. I explained again that he would be in his work clothes and he said I know I still want him to come! So I not sure how it will go. Just thought that was funny!

Also this weekend Covin and the boys will have their very first Flag Football game! This should be interesting to watch. They have been practicing almost 3 days a week for a month. They now have to have mouth pieces and football pants (blue ones) which we were informed of yesterday and they have to have them Saturday. NICE!!!! There aren't any so far I will have to go to a few different stores today!!

Crazy busy week and the next one will not be any easier!!!

What kind of company is Covin hanging out with that he is scared they are going to get arrested? Those crazy Thatcher kids! Good job on your test! Your my hero, I don't think I could ever go back to school.

That's funny! I can't believe he even thought about Shaffen's clothes...his friends must be questionable :)

Congrats on your test! I bet thats such a relief to have it done. I have to laugh about that uniform at school thing. Just wait in a few years he wont want him there because he doesnt want his friends to know his dad's a cop :) Oh hey, I posted a blog just so you could show Covin. I thought he would get a kick out of that, since he loves Chloe so much :)

Night shifts stink! I hate having to be quiet at my own house during the day or constantly be away from the house because we're too loud! I can't wait for day shifts at our house too. I'm glad to hear Conner is doing better at nights.
