Summer break week one.

So this week (minus Monday) was my first week out of school. I have spent a few days cleaning the house. I always start this in full force, cleaning everything and then I slowly dwindle down to hit and miss because who is going to notice anyway.
I have a cleaning method of clean for a bit, stop, watch TV play on the interwebs and then clean some more. Rinse and repeat.

I have learned a few things during my first week off and here they are in no particular order:

• It rains a lot when I don't have to work.
  
• Kathie Lee drinks all the time on air. It cracks me up.
• Bonnie Hunt is probably the coolest talk show lady there is.
• The Jonas Brothers on the Today Show is hard to walk away from.
• My dog is the laziest dog ever.
• Having dirty hair for a few days is ok (as long as you do not go into public!)
• Billy Bob Thorton is in a band. WOAH!
  

I have also spent the week procrastinating (yes, me) and I must now cram for a mid-term I have tomorrow. Summer School Stinks!

I just dream of sunshine and time at the pool. Hopefully that will be on the agenda next week.

As life spins you 'round.

Time has left me for the most part. I get up, go to work, go to class (or 2nd job) and then come home to sleep. This is my life at this point. I'm getting exhausted! I hope that summer will help level me out a little and give me a rest. But who knows. I have decided to keep my nephews again this summer and I'm actually excited to have some more "Adventures in Babysitting" moments with them! The boys have their to-do list sketched out.

If it doesn't kill you...

I'm so not a person to take days off.  This past school year I have taken a lot of days off (mostly for a funeral and my outpatient surgery).

Tomorrow I am taking a day off to write a proposal for Grad school.  This semester has been so tough.  With added personal issues I have just wanted to crawl in a hole and call it quits.  I'm not looking forward to this 30 page paper I'm going to have to tackle and stop procrastinating about. Hopefully I will not turn out a terrible product!!!

April showers

The past month has been a very crazy time.  From getting the happiest news of my life to spending a week waiting for what ended up being the saddest news of my life.

It has been a roller coaster of emotions since March 20th and a "ride" that ended up with me encountering my first hospital visit for out patient surgery. 

The major lesson I learned would be that of faith.  Putting my faith in God's hands and giving him full control has been the only thing that has kept me somewhat sane during this time. The best thing from this ordeal would be discovering what wonderful people I have in my life.  Through it all Justin was my rock, my strength, my hope.  I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful man in my life. He was so strong throughout it all and let me cry, scream, and just be sad without saying anything just showing me love and support.   I had many messages, phone calls and well wishes from those that I love.  I even had the offer from a friend's mom  that she would drop everything and come up and take care of me while mom and dad were out of town.  That showed me how much I matter.  That same friend was in daily contact with me through it all and I hope she knows how blessed I am to have her in my life.  

Tomorrow is my post-op appointment.  I don't foresee that it will be a big deal.  Just an in and out kinda of visit.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I spent the day in class...

Justin cooked a yummy dinner so that made the day of class not so bad.

Happiness

It amazes me how much life can consume us at times.  This weekend was a great example.  After two days of class I was really stressed.  After a small breakdown (or during) I always feel the need to talk to someone that understands me!  When in dire need of a friendly voice I always try to call Ashley or Erika.  

Last night I got in touch with Erika.  Not expecting to hear anything but they same. "Not too much how about you?" I was pleasantly surprised to hear a big smile coming across the phone!  That totally turned my mood from poor pitiful me to happiness for my dear friend!!!  So thanks E for making my long day have a happy ending!!!

Baby it's cold outside

I really hate the cold.  a windchill that does not register in the positive should be banned!  Anyway, yet another snow-day.  We may never finish up this year. 

 I hope it is warm in your world today.
