Hello Again

I actually am not forgetting about my blog.  Okay, maybe I have for awhile, but it seems that everything else gets in the way.  Who would have thought that school actually consumes some of your time at home?  I couldn't believe it either.  I actually have to come up with a crazy little skit for my History class.  Me and two guys as pagan Greeks, any ideas?  It must tell about our beliefs.  Done for now.  More reading to do for school.

Tired, but I must do my homework.

Yes, that is exactly how it is.  I seem so tired because Jay and I have been getting up three times a week at the butt crack of dawn (0530 hrs to be exact) to walk at least 2 miles.  We were supposed to walk 3 miles today, but we walked a new route and it turned out to be only two.  Jay said we will have to make up for it on Thursday and walk 4 miles.  I think that he may indeed be a little bit crazy.  Actually I know he is since it takes me at least 30 minutes to get him out of bed to walk in the first place.  That of course means that I am up at 0500 hrs just trying to get him up in time for us to walk.  If we do 4 miles on Thursday then I will have to get up at 0430 and I just don't like the sound of that.

I don't like the sound of waking up early at all because I seem to be swamped with homework this semester.  So by the time I take care of the kids (sometimes Jay is included in this) and then get my homework done I am not in bed until after 2300 hrs. I just can't seem to be able to do this anymore.  Does this mean that I am getting too old?  I'm starting to have to take naps in the afternoon.  31 years old is turning out to be much worse than 30 years old.

Just for Melody

I have been told that I haven't been blogging like I should be.  I can tell you the reason for this is simply because I haven't had too much to say over the last few weeks.  Work has been boring (well unless you count the countless text messages and phone calls I get to work for one certain individual) and school has been busy.  It's only the third week of school and I have already written three papers and done a presentation.  This could be the major reason why I just haven't felt like blogging.

Of course there has been a little more going on besides my life at school and work.  The munchkins have been their usual selves.  Joy is now 8 and Sean 7.  Joy was very excited when she got $20 for her birthday.  Sean got some more Bakugon (or however you spell it) and we tried to learn how to actually play the game.  I think we had more fun just trying to get the stupid things to roll onto the cards and open up then we did playing.  Sean did say that he thought the game was pretty boring.  Sean also is quite excited because he finally got his new backpack from his Grandma Julie.  That really made his day.  Now we have to write our thank you letters.  We haven't even got to the ones from Christmas.  I guess we have quite a few letters to write.  

Now off to homework, dinner, and letter writing.  Maybe I will also do a little wine drinking.  You can never have enough wine drinking.

Headache

I've got no clue when it is going to stop, but I have had a terrible migraine since Saturday morning and it shows no signs of letting me out of it's grips.  On top of it all I had the worst Monday ever.  One of the power windows on my Jeep decided it no longer wanted to work and while driving from Michigan to Illinois it decided to drop out of the track and cause a three inch opening from Indiana on.  Thank God I had a heavy garbage bag in the car so I could some how stop the wind from coming in.  Poor Sean I thought the kid was going to freeze, but he kept telling me that he was nice and warm.  Even when we got home and I put him to bed he was thinking about me.  He gave me a big giant hug and told me that everything was going to be okay and that he was feeling really sad because I was sad.  I have such an awesome son.  Now only if this headache would go away.

Cold Cold Cold

I can't believe how completely cold it is outside right now.  Ten degrees and that's not including the windchill.  It's not supposed to be this cold right now.  These temps are the one's that are supposed to occur in late January and early February.  That's the extremely cold time of the year.  Whatever happened to this thing they call global warming.  I think that the so called experts have just made it all up because I'm not seeing any warming trend.

I'm hoping the weather isn't too bad come Friday because I am going to be driving to Michigan and I would prefer for it to be a safe drive.  Which reminds me I need to get Sean a haircut very badly because I don't think Mom would appreciate his hair looking the way it does right now for the Christmas party on Sunday.  Yes we are heading to the Yacht Club to hang out with all the rich people and Sean should look his best.  I probably should too because I like those people to think that I have a little more money than I actually do.  I hate it when they turn their noses down at me.  Too bad Jay can't come too because then it would actually show them that yes, I do have a man in my life.  Oh I hate those people, but I have to go because it makes Mom happy.  That's what it really is all about.  Making my mommy happy because I really do love her.

Thanksgiving, not so insane I guess.

Well, next week is indeed the week that includes Thanksgiving in it.  Time to swing your turkeys around to break their necks and pluck out their feathers.  I'm a hungry girl and I want me some Thanksgiving turkey.  I found out that Mom is having Thanksgiving at her house (I still find it difficult not saying our house) and that Jay does indeed have the kids for the weekend.  I guess now we are all planning on going to Mom's.  I'm really looking forward to it because Jay and the munchkins have yet to meet most of my family.  Maybe Grandpa can play the taking his teeth out trick on the munchkins and make them laugh.  Jannah said she is most looking forward to seeing Rick (my cousin Melissa's husband) again and meeting Chloe, Melissa and Rick's daughter.  I'm just looking forward to seeing my family again.  I really got accustomed to seeing them whenever I wanted to.  I can't wait for next week.

What to do?

I am in a total point of confusion at the moments.  Or maybe it's just because I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.  Thanksgiving is coming up and I have to decide what I am going to do.  My dad wants me to go to his house and my mom wants me to come to the family dinner at my aunt and uncle's house.  I really want to go to the big shindig at my aunt and uncle's because I will be seeing the entire extremely large family of mine.  At the same time I don't want to hurt my dad and step-mom's feelings.  I think I might just do the shindig in Bay City and then just go to my dad's later in the weekend.  Maybe that will please everyone.
