I haven't posted here since September 2009. I don't know why I let my personal blog go for so long. I guess with the mommy blog, reviews, giveaways, having a family, looking for a job, maintaining my PartyLite business and such, it just got pushed aside. Hopefully I will remember to come here more often from now on. I thought I was screwed though because I bought a new computer and didn't save my MT login. I couldn't find it anywhere, but my brilliant sister told me to search my old email and see if I could come up with something. I didn't find the login page, but I found old comments that I approved so I was able to follow that link to get to the login. Whew!

It's strange using MT after using WP for so many months.

I just finished my 5th week of classes and my grades are still strong. Still getting an "A" in all four classes! I just turned in my first literary analysis essay for my Literature class so we'll see what happens.

Today is our wedding anniversary!!

Look at us just starting out :)

And now..

More Wordless Wednesday here

So far school is going pretty good. I just checked my grades and I'm getting an "A" in all of my classes! I hope I can keep this up. It's not the easiest thing to do - working full time and going to school full time and making time for my family. These aren't easy classes either, although they are probably the easiest I will have from here on out. I actually have to read and do research and spend time on the course work. Now that I've decided to go for Computer Science, the course work will probably get even more difficult. Keep your fingers crossed for me that I can maintain these grades.

Well, the summer rush is over and now my shift is being moved back to 11 to 8. Blah. I'm not thrilled about it at all, but I was aware from the beginning that it was potentially temporary. As much as I prefer to sleep in, I was really enjoying my evenings at home with my family. I guess I'll just have to until the next major shift bid and see if I can get an earlier shift that way - something permanent. Either that or find a job in a branch office where I can work 8 to 5 and never work Saturdays! I don't know how well that would work out though. If the pay was the same I would do it in a heart beat. I'll have to check into that.

Elizabeth had her 5 month check up today - actually she is almost 6 months, but whatever. =) She weighs 14 lbs 2 ounces (1 pound more than she did at her 4 month check up) and she is 25 3/4 inches long (1 inch longer than she was at her 4 month check up). She had to get 2 shots and have her finger pricked and she didn't even cry. What a little trooper!

Classes started on Monday and so far it's not too bad. It's only the first week so there aren't too many actual assignments due yet, but I had a couple of discussion board assignments and a few chapters to read for each class and a quiz in one class. I'm done with everything except my Psychology 220 class. I have two chapters to read and an assignment to do before Monday. Not bad. I'll have time to do that. I'd like to try to get ahead on some of the stuff - like maybe the reading for my English class for next week. We'll see how things go at home between now and then. Jeremy has his first on-campus class tonight! All of his classes until this semester have been online.

It's been a very long and exhausting week and now I need to play catch up. I am selling stuff at a Mom 2 Mom sale tomorrow at our church. I have so much to get done today. My husband and I have been going through totes of baby/toddler clothes today and my washing machine and dryer will be working non-stop all day long. It feels strange being at home after being at my mom's all week and the funeral home all day yesterday. The only time I've been at home this past week was to sleep and shower. I feel like I should be going somewhere - other than crazy. =}

Classes start for both me and my husband on Monday. Talk about crazy! We're going to be extremely busy from then on.

Still looking forward to working on my new project for this site..... hopefully sooner than later. Stay tuned....
