Chicago--The Rest

The rest of my trip was great. Saturday we took the el downtown and looked at the store windows and shopped and walked around downtown. It was great but there were SO many people...a little stressful with two kids in tow. Sunday we just hung out and went to the airport and spent hours traveling. By Monday I was ready for the weekend. So now it's Thursday and I'm taking a sick day tomorrow.

One of my classes is over...the other I have on Monday and there's a final that night and a paper due in a week. So there's no rest for the wicked.

That would be me...except there's still no wickedness in my life, I'm sorry to report. I think I'm never going to have a boyfriend again. Seriously, who is single for 6 1/2 years? That's just wierd. I think I'm going to try REALLY hard to be all done with the whole "friend" thing where you make out and go on dates with a friend but don't get any of the advantages of a relationship (like guaranted attention/affection and postive self-esteem). Really really hard. I may have actually gotten to the point where I'm all done with that. One can only hope. Eventually, the test will come and I can either choose to put my foot down or fall back into the same pattern...

I can't wait to go Christmas shopping for my friends and family...only 10 more days of school and my little critters get a 2-week break from me!
