Woo for the weekend!

I'm gearing up for my final week of classes and of course tests out the you know what! I'm so ready for next Friday :) Then I can have 2 and a half weeks off with my kids and Ben gets alittle time off here and there as well. My mom called and is flying in from Kansas and should be here on the 19th of December. It will be good to see her again and the kids are so excited.

Along with studying this weekend, we have a unit Christmas party today at 3 and then one of my friends is having a Christmas party at 7. Somewhere in there I need to take Caitlin and one of her friends, Monique, to the library so they can do some research on a project oh and clean house. Tomorrow is my birthday so Ben and the kids are planning on cooking for me, cake too. Watch out kitchen! lol I think after we turn 30 we can stop counting how old we are :)

My oral presentation went alot better than I expected it to in English class. I HATE speaking in front of people. I have no problem presenting something as a group but by myself, ugh! But I got through it thankfully.

To top it all off Ben comes home last night just in time for dinner. (Yummy pork roast) He sits down and looks at me with those brown eyes and says honey there is something I need to tell you and your probably won't be thrilled. Of course my heart is racing cause I'm thinking he has to go back to Iraq alot sooner than expected again. (always thinking the worst about these things) He brought home a puppy and it was in our back yard. Apparently one of the soldiers, who lives in the barracks, bought a rott mix last week knowing that she can't have him in the barracks and has been making the poor thing live in a small kennel in the back of her truck. Needless to say when Ben and some of the others found out they were livid. She is in alot of trouble for animal neglect and she turned the dog over to Ben so he could find a home for her. No we are not keeping her. Tiny and Hercules are none to happy she is here in the first place! lol We gave her a bath and at first she was frightened at the surroundings since she has never been in an open area before. She's four months old and is adorable and very active and friendly. So we are going to call a few friends today and see what we can do. I repeat we are NOT keeping her.....

Have a great weekend!
