BLAH

I'm not going to lie. This has been a rough week for us - physically and emotionally.

We are all short on sleep - which of course makes for cranky people (myself included!).

Ellie had 4 days worth of state testing. Unfortunately, it was in the morning (0845) and we couldn't leave, because Ellie is a speed test-taker and was the first one done all 4 days in a row. So, we spent 4 mornings sitting in the car waiting for her to be done. Then we still went to various classes throughout the week - and tried to keep up with schoolwork. It was ugly.

Lexie even broke down and threw a temper tantrum today and that rarely happens.

To top it off, Nick has learned how to open our sliding glass door and I don't know what I'm going to do. Every time I turn around, he's out on the deck, running around. It's an arctic door and doesn't slide like a normal one - and doesn't lock (you can only open it from the inside). So, I have had to chase him around like crazy for the past 2 days and it's driving me insane.

So, I am going to head to bed and sleep in tomorrow....
