Spring Break 2010

SPRING BREAK....ALL RIGHT BABY...WAIT..........CRAP! Yep, this week has been my spring break and man has it been CRAPPY!!!! Why you might ask, well, I am going to tell you. Impetigo and tonsillitis. Cuj has impetigo which is really just a skin rash but it is highly contagious so he had to miss school and I have to clean it three times a day and put a cream on it for him. It is really almost better and he gets to be off of the quarantine list today....woot. THEN....I started feeling sick on Monday and by Wednesday I could hardly move.....tonsillitis. So I am now pumped full of antibiotics and tylenol and feeling mostly better but still cranky and a little woozy. Last night My hubby had to work midnight madness at his store which left me home alone. Well...I couldn't sleep and was super tired and sick so I began to sob. I sat in the bathroom and cried for an hour then called my mom and cried a little longer. Then sat in my bed and drank warm lemon/honey water and cuddled up to my heating pack and watched a movie. Finally, fell asleep about 2 am. So much for getting the house clean this week, playing with my kids tons, getting ahead on my homework, getting my haircut, painting the rest of my family room, etc. But....the kids loved playing video games all week...even though they missed playing with the bestest cousin ever (name starts with an A, and he is a boy), and eating out a lot. At least I am feeling better and so is Cuj. Plus...a lot of people out there have it worse....just a waste of my spring break. *sigh* Back to school on Monday with a dirty, unpainted house; long, unpainted hair; and no sleep. Hmmm...sounds like life to me! :) HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING!!!! WOOT-WOOT!

Guess I am getting old

I am passing my math class!! WOOT-WOOT!! I am getting a 93.54%....so far. :) I remember taking this class about, oh, 8 years ago and not doing so well. In fact, I got a D in the class. Ooops! I know that I am not getting smrter...I mean smarter so I decided that I am just getting older. I am more willing to apply myself and work hard at figuring things out....things that I don't know, don't scare me any more. I just work until I do know it. It is a good feeling. I guess getting old isn't so bad....yet. ;)

Babies

I wish that I could make it very clear to people that I will have a baby when I am ready and not before...if I have any more! I love my kids and I am not opposed to having more but this year has been rough for us and we just want a little time. Plus...if we have another child we will have to buy a new care and possibly a new house (or at least do some extensive remodeling of the basement). Neither is within our reach right now. And...just for the record....it doesn't make me a bad person to disagree with...others on this subject!

Sometimes...

Sometimes...I get great advice from sources I never expected.
Sometimes...I eat too much and DON'T feel guilty.
Sometimes...I love to just sit and read.
Sometimes...I surprise myself.
Sometimes...I just want to cry or laugh for no reason.
Sometimes...I still need my Mom.
Sometimes...I want to throw food.

Thankful

Today...I am just thankful. I am thankful for my husband. I am thankful for all the things that he is and all the things that he does. I love him more everyday and I can't imagine my life without him. Love you! I am thankful for my boys. I love them beyond any explanation. I am thankful for my life and my home. I am just thankful!

Lots of little thoughts

So, one of my classes this semester is on Facebook...not how to navigate it but we literally meet and talk on a facebook page. It is a little weird. Anyway, several of us have been unhappy about how the class is being run. There is no real structure and we don't really know what is going on. About three of us were posting back and forth about how much we disliked it. This person posted a comment that was directed to me by name. He said that I should stop being a baby and whining so much. I was shocked! First of all, I was answering a comment by another girl on there and I wasn't being whiny or mean. Secondly, I don't know why he attacked me and not the others. Anywho--a word battle ensued. I was pretty irate but I tried to remain calm and address his complaints calmly. He said some pretty rude things about me. I can't believe that someone would be so rude to someone that they don't know over nothing. I was shocked to say the least. I don't even know him or why he was so mad at me...other people were saying worse things than I was. Anyway, I found out today that he is barely out of high school. I hope that he grows up...I mean honestly, does he really think that it is okay to say mean things to people he doesn't know just because it is on a relatively anonymous site like facebook?

Ok...next thought. I really want to adopt. M and I have thought about it for a long time and I think that we are really ready to start looking into it. It probably won't happen for a few years and that is okay but I want to get started. We really need a baby girl! ; ) Even M thinks so and Cuj has been telling me for months that he wants a sister. Does that mean that we won't try for one of our own? No...probably not. But...we will see. I have been having dreams about this super precious baby that looks Hispanic but has beautiful, black, curly hair that looks more African American than Hispanic. I saw a posting for a biracial girl that was African American/Hispanic and I almost fainted!! Of course, she was already placed by the time I called the agency but it really got us to thinking that this may be the time to start.

WOW

School started today. I was really, REALLY good and got up at 5 am to workout before my 8 am class. Then I could hardly hobble into the classroom. LOL. But, I did it! Yay! I did really good on my diet today too. Until, Ike threw up and I got a stupid email from a professor that makes no sense and a bill from a doctor's office....that also makes no sense! Sometimes I think that billing "specialists" should be renamed billing "I-don't-know-what-the-heck-I-am-doing-and-if-I-do-I-won't-do-it-just-to-make-you-mad" specialists. Seriously. They are saying that we owe them over $1000 dollars and that the insurance won't pay on it but the insurance says that they haven't even received a bill yet and I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THE DOC'S OFFICE THIS!! A MONTH AGO! Now they are threatening to send us to collections and I can't get anyone at the office to even answer the phone. They sent us a "friendly reminder" to pay and that the Doc is VERY willing to negotiate payment options...blah...blah...blah. I just want them to do their job. So...I ate about 6 mini muffins and drank a HUGE glass of milk. Totally NOT on my diet but I needed some food! So...I guess today is my free day instead of Sunday. *sigh* I like Sunday afternoon snacking.
