One more week as of tomorrow

Tuesday--tomorrow marks the one last week of my first quarter of grad school!
WOW.
The systems class has been really time consuming. I think I'm doing okay in both classes.. but am afraid to look at my grades... I don't think I have since the beginning of February.

I spent the first half of today avoiding my homework by cleaning house and then the second half of the day, I spent researching for my final project for the other class. I think I've found some things that will work... Hopefully there are at least 20 citations for peer reviewed articles!
Now.. I'm spending the third half of my day at the library--YAY!!!

Tomorrow... is the first playgroup I will have attended since my Dad passed. I just haven't had the time and every time I've thought about attending an event, I've been driving out to Buffalo. I am not planning on driving out there again until I have to. It's such a long drive and any kind of snow makes it absolutely miserable.

In other news, we over here have begun our own process of buying a house--YEAH! It's got a wonderful kitchen...3 bedrooms, gorgeous hardwood floors, and 2 full bathrooms! I never thought to nab the pictures off of the realty site before it was taken off. I'm hoping that we'll close by the end of April. Another big change!

I'm still frustrated with the surrogate court of Erie County. It has been well over a month and I still don't have the letters of administration. This is most frustrating! We really don't want to be paying out of pocket for Dad's house and stuff.. but I guess we have to do what we have to do until it's sold. If anyone has they're prayer hats on, please say a prayer that Dad's house will sell quickly. IF you're looking for a huge fixer-upper with a bundle of potential and outdoor charm.. check out the listing on RealtyUSA and give me an offer!!!

Scianna gave herself a bloody nose today. She was dancing with Jenna in the living room and fell nose-first into the carpet! Whoops!! She appeared to be okay. Instead of wanting to dance after that, she wanted to play game cube and then promptly fell to sleep! All her 2T shirts are becoming too short. I guess it's time to move her up into the 3T realm... :( Although still 2T pants for a little while I'm sure.

Yesterday, I decided, since it had snowed so much, that I would Cross country ski to work. Little did I know that most of the snow ont he road would be gone by the time I actually headed out... AND... the hills people create while shoveling and plowing were not conducive to continuous skiing, but once I got to the church on the corner I was able to cut back onto the RWC cross country trails.. :) Because I had left my car at work overnight, I had to dig the darn thing out with the official and very yellow library shovel.

In other news... All I have to say is that amethysts are SWANKY and I love them.. :)

I guess I'm headed into the work zone now... better get to it!
