Unbelievable!! I think I just survived my Junior year of nursing school!!! Come on Summer Break!!

Still hanging on

Till my fingers can't hange on any longer :)

I have 4 weeks left od school this semester. The kids are all healthy (knock knock) and I am still hanging in there. I am SOOOoooo done with school- spring break was rough. To have just enough time to start liking the less structured, not too much homework to think, spending time with the kids and just being able to breathe... and then having to jump back into the madness.

They swore that the first semester was going to be the hardest... then it would get better. I think they lied. It doesn't get better- you just get used to it!!

I am very ready for a "mom break." Just a chance to step back and be completely lazy and self absorbed... just for a few days. Try and figure out who I am, rather than just being everybodies mom. I'm a little burnt out on having to be the "responsible one" all the time. Just a night out would be a wonderful treat.

BUT until May 5 (at 3:30pm) I am stuck with the books and the paperwork... and the knowledge that I will be half way through.

AND I found out I have my scholarship renewed! Yea me- 'cause seriously... the cost of tuition and daycare and books and the extra fees and the equipment... is about $30,000 a year. With out the 'ship, I'd be up a creek.

Just another reason to get back to the text books...

It's over.

All the fun and excitement- well the LACK of- is about to come to a screeching halt.

Tomorrow- classes start again. I am finding it really REALLY had to find anything to be excited about going back. I know just what I have left to do, how much work and time it will take, AND now have the refreshed memory of what it is like to NOT have to deal with it.

I think having the week off spoiled me- I got to go for walks with the kids, hang out with the hubby, find creative reasons for not cleaning the house or doing the laundry. As opposed to not doing them because I was too damn busy.

Too busy to breathe, think, live.

I have managed to somehow squeeze "eat" into the schedule though. Go Me!!

I HEART FaceBook

Its like a class reunion with the people you really want to talk to! lol

Anywho- back here in "the real world" the countdown to classes has started. I was starting to enjoy the lack of RUN my usual week contained. Being able to walk the kids to the bus, or go visiting when ever... was nice. I was still obnoxiously busy- ummm still have 7 shorter-than-me people to shuffle around! But I could get used to the couch and bon-bon life. haha- like its ever been a couch and bon-bon life!!

I did get a little done, got to attend all of the kids' conferences (and survived!) had lunch with the Hubby, hung out at my moms, cleaned out the girls dresser... and dropped off a ton of stuff at Goodies. I think I probably got most of it there in the first place!

Back to the grind... and grind and grind. After I check FB one more time!!

Spring break? haha

So I'm half way through the Spring break that wasn't. I had 4 conferences, 2 doctors appointments and an obnoxious amount of assorted errands. No rest for the weary, right?

I often think that they shouldn't really call it a break- because we end up doing more than we would on a non-break week. It might not be the SAME stuff- but because its a little different, there are more schedules to shuffle, meals and activities to figure up... Break is SOOOOOoooooo misleading!

Have a "regular week" and then the kids have their very own spring "non"break.

I can barely contain my excitement.

Still pondering...

I am still THINKING about changing the picture up top... then again a trip to the ocean might be good too. I am so tired, I can't even think straight- but I do have a lot of good intentions!

I am officially on my spring break from classes which enevitably means I will be ill. Or multiple children will be. THis go round, it looks like I scored the brunt. Yea me.

But I WANTED to finish the bathroom remodel, de-clutter the garage/ closet/ everywhere, get ahead on my homework, visit with my ladies, and breathe. I would settle for breathing right now.

My turn.

Rarely does mom get a chance to whine and complain about being sick and miserable. I am sooooo wanting to take this opportunity to curl up on the couch and be waitied on by my loving children and husband. You know- not like I have taken care of them when they were feeling a little under the weather...

Yea... thats not going to happen. I will sit and whine (but nobody cares!!) and I will make my own soup, and had to buy my own 7-up. Thats just wrong!! wrong wrong wrong!
