DONE!

I just pressed the post button after uploading all of my hard work......that was a HUGE step. Now I wait. I never heard back from several questions I posted to my teacher, thus I never fully understood all of the directions for my projects.However, I did them to the very best of my ability, and they are done and posted. My grade may or may not come within a couple of weeks ( so far this teacher has not proven to be very helpful or true to her word). I just hope I did everything good enough to get at least a B.

To top it all off...My husband has to work all day tomorrow and has still done nothing but play his game tonight.....I specifically requested some together time and got nothin. I guess I will go and have some birthday cake ice cream as my 'done with class' celebration and then hit the sack so that I will be fresh for my 'HOLLY TIME' day tomorrow! I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The good...the bad...and the GREAT!

Ok...here I am. I am blogging...FINALLY! This is my jumble of thoughts for the night.

Here is the good. JJ is over his pink eye, my class is almost finished, this is tuesday, I got to stay home on Monday, I got all of my laundry done yesterday, and I got to watch American Idol and The Biggest Loser.

Here is the bad. I still have two papers to write for my class, one that I have no idea how to even start and one that I just need to sit down and write. I am tired...like is it really only Tuesday tired. We have NO groceries in our house right now. Miracle has a horrible cough. I have not taken any good pics for my blog. I still feel slightly out of control with class/work/family.

And last but not least, here is the GREAT! My last class is one week from being over. I have two relatively healthy children. I have a wonderful family. I have a wonderful husband who is very happy tonight that he found some cool stuff on a job. I get to go to bed soon. I can get groceries this weekend.....oh...and can I just say that I really have no right to complain at all because I have a God that provides for me in ways that I can NEVER understand or be thankful enough for!

Beat that!

Welcome to my crazy life....

I have not blogged in awhile because I am working on an online class. I started this process of working full time and taking classes when JJ was first born. Its been a long road...and now I am working on my LAST CLASS. My last class for a VERY LONG TIME!! I am so excited and, yet, so stressed out! I have a ton of papers to write and it is always harder when its an online class. No teache to talk to, no examples of projects, no classmates to commiserate with.....just A LOT of work to do! Life is very interesting when you have a million and one projects going on. I dont mind it...really I dont. However, I really just want to be a project free working mom. I cant imagine how that feels. I cant wait to experience that feeling in just two weeks....sort of anyway! So now you know why I am not blogging very often...and you know that I will be back soon with some new and exciting things to post....I PROMISE:)

PS> I love you sister and am glad that you read my blog!

In their sunday best

I LOVE THIS PICTURE....both kids were so excited to get their picture taken...and it turned out so cute!

WELCOME SPRING BREAK

I am sitting at my computer right now thinking "one more day to go, one more day to go...". At the end of tomorrow, I will officially be starting my spring break. JJ and Miracle will also be starting their spring break. Ahhhhhh.....a whole week of relaxation. Well maybe not complete relaxation...

*there is always the knawing thought in the back of my mind that a week off will really confuse JJ. It will be so hard to get him back into the routine of daycare and getting up early. Miracle is old enough to actually understand a break...but still, the readjustment to school will be tiring.

*The constant reminder that this week will go by so fast and then back to the daily schedule of running here and there

*I have ALOT to get done during my "free time" (laundry, my school portfolio, spring cleaning, memory making, etc.)

*The constant thought of how my students will be after the break...it will be equally as hard on them to readjust

All of these concerns...and yet the absolute joy at the thought of a week off! I have alot to do but during all of my 'catching up', I plan to enjoy my children. Its not very often that we get time off together for reasons other than sickness. I will pretend for one short week that I am a stay at home mom doing what stay at home moms do...cleaning, preparing, mentoring, and making tons of fun memories that will last a lifetime!


On a parting note....

I decided to upload a ton of my pics to snapfish last week. I had tons of digital photos saved to my computer and had not printed or done anything with them. JJ and Miracles whole first year was merely saved onto my computer....I was quite worried about a sudden hardrive crash that would erase all of our memories. Well snapfish turned out to be quite fun and exiting. I got to make an entire scrapbook of "OUr first year together". I also got to order a TON of pictures and my overall bill only came to about $35. Not bad if your talking about a WHOLE year and a half of memories....I am now anxiously waiting for my items to arrive in the mail....I CANT WAIT! Anyway...you should try it out...www.snapfish.com!
