Fast

How does a week go so fast? How does time just whiz by. My baby will be 7 in August. Wowness time is so amazing. And sometimes I want it to speed up but most of the time I want it to slow and let me catch my breath. Like with my school, I have been plugging away for almost 2 years now. It feels like forever and the it feels like I just started. I am so lucky to get to pursue this dream that I have had since I has 18. Now I am ever closer to achieving it. We have been in Moodyville almost 2 and 1/2 years and it seems like we have been here forever. I miss Wednesday nights at church. Time can speed up now I am ready for them to start back up again. But I am always glad for the break when they end for a while. So it is good to get to miss them. I pray for Ginger that time will fly and support raising will be over. I pray for time to stop so my friend will not leave me. I pray that I can remember to be thankful for the time that God gives us here on this earth so that we can be overjoyed when we get eternal time in heaven.

Humbledr

So I like to think that I look and act my age. My mom would say they I have "acted" 40 since I was 10. Not in a arrogant way but she has an old soul way. So now that I am every closer to the actual 40 I am okay with it. All that to say that in my lab class the other night one of the other students wanted to ask me a question, and brace yourself, she called me mam. Really I clutched my heart and said "oh that hurt" and she said "sorry mam" wow humbled just a little. So I guess what my Paw Paw said was true you look in the mirror and wonder who that old person looking at you is. I am really okay with it, a wise woman (Kim Hill) once said the only other alternative to growing old is being dead. I like alive better.

Not since April?

Wow, I haven't blogged since April. Facebook is just so much quicker. But I felt like blogging so here goes.

My oldest baby, Zachary, got baptized Sunday, joined the church and had his first communion. Awesomeness. So what goes through your mind when your precious baby gives his heart to Jesus. For me I was humbled, really and truly more than I can ever remember being humbled. God the creator of the universe choose me and then choose my son. Then the next thought was that He sent His Son to die so that my son could have eternal life. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. It makes me feel joy that other than at Zach's birth I haven't felt. Because now I know that Zach has eternal life and that His savior choose him. There are really no words that can truly describe this wonderful moment. I am humbled by it.

So that was a bit heavy and rightly so. Now on to summer plans. School for me of course. Microbiology, which I love saying that to people. They groan when I say it like it is some form of torture. I really like the class, so far this teacher is the best right off the bat. She is nice and friendly helpful you know like a teacher. Crazy I know.

The kids are home and I think he have found our groove of being together all the time. It is fun not having to get up and get to school. But it really gets me going and I like that. I have been a little lazy but I know that summer will be over before I know it.

Talked to my bestest friend Angie today. I miss her but am so glad we make the effort to keep in touch. I love facebook for that reason. But a nice long girl chat is nice too. We may get to go down to the beach for a weekend and hang out. I am so excited. I hope we get to.

Well toddles for now, hopefully it want be this long in between blogs next time.

Should be doing other things.

I really should be doing other things. Like laundry I would be further along if I had realized the dry was empty and did not need to be fluffed 3 times. Anyway Eric woke up this morning throwing up on my bedroom floor. Nice. I then start screaming at him to run to the bathroom because he just stands there telling me he needs to throw up while throwing up. Lovely. Usually he is good about going to the bathroom but he later told me he thought he was dreaming and he was at the beach? Really. I guess he had to much "fun" at spring break with his phrat brothers.Crazy. So got all that cleaned up and tried to sleep a little more. Wonderful. I do love being a mom. Actually it is nice having him home today. He feels fine now and is watching tv.

Last week was my spring break. I had a long list of things I needed/wanted to do. I decide to relax instead. I am glad I did but I am now making a mental list of things I am going to do and the end of the quarter. I really want to paint my kitchen. The builders used flat and you can't wash it. Smart. So I am going to do that for sure. I also want to go to the beach sometime this summer I love the beach. The husband (he loves when I call him that) doesn't really like the beach. Sad. But he will go with me and the kids have not been in a really long time. I need a cheap but clean place to stay. Does anybody know of some place? Anyway maybe will go maybe not. Hoping.

So the dry just stopped and it had laundry in it this time. Going.

School and a girl trip.

I am wondering if anyone will read this but I guess I feel at little like blogging. School is good. It is a lot and I think I am way ready for Spring Break. And really ready for this quarter to be over. Which it will be soon enough and the one more class this summer and I will be ready to apply to start nursing school. And then who knows. Time is always moving forward and no matter what happens I have learned to be happy with were I am at instead of always think I will only be happy when I get there.

Girl trip this past weekend. To much fun. The movie was good and even if I had not been lured with time away and hangin with two of my bestest friends. I would have watched the whole movie. It was funny and sad and different. Rob can act and I enjoyed it. It was a little sad though. I hugged both my boys when I got home and let them know how much I loved them. The mom in the movie was very cold. I don't ever want to be like that. In fact I don't think that I could.

So off to study and try to figure out my math. It is so so so hard right now. I really don't care how much liquid will fit in a box. I just think things like, what kind of box is it? Is it a cardboard box because that would just make a mess. Is it a pretty box? Can I decorate it if it is not pretty. These thought do not help me to actually learn how to convert the numbers and greatly interferes with my ability to pass the test I have next week. Math is yucky.

Oscar night

Darrin does not like the Oscar's. He thinks it is just a lot of egomaniacs stroking their ego's. And he is basically right. But I really like the pretty dresses and the pretty people. But the last few years I have not seen any of the movies some I would want to some not so much. It is about having time to and I usually don't.

So let me say that watching it with a bunch of girlfriends was to much fun. We laughed we cried (Val Kilmer is real heavy and I did tear up a little at a picture of him) But mostly we laughed it was super fun. I ate way to much and found out that Ginger and Whitney are very prissy and don't think a girl should burp. Sorry ladies for offending you so greatly. But really it was just plain old fun. I am a little bit sleepy today since I didn't get home until 12 ish, but it was well worth it.

Other than that school is good a little harder this time having two classes and Quizzes in Bio every week. I have been challenged and I am having to learn to not be a perfectionist and do the best I can. The balance of life and school is getting easier and I hope preparing me for the day I actually work outside the home. Will see. So ta ta for now.

Progress

I have decided I am a big whiny baby sometimes, okay most of the time. I have decided that I am going to enjoy school and not freaky out about the whole need an A thing to get into nursing. I mean I have been losing sleep over it. It will be what it will be. And in doing so it freed me up to just enjoy the process a little more and stop trying to make it happen.

I miss hang out at the park with friends. Cold weather go away. Please. I need sunny and warmth. Need shorts, okay capris I am getting a little to old for shorts. Unless they are of course travel shorts. (thanks Kim Hill for that piece of fashion advice.)

Looking forward to the 25th b-day party. Yeah talent show. Last year was out first show and it was way fun.

Off to church. Yeah.

Later.
