Spontaneity

What a weekend!  I decided to suddenly drive back home to visit family!  fast forward 24 hours later the kids and i pulled into my parents driveway ragged, exhausted, and tired of each other!  I was going to drive to El Paso but once i saw it would take me 28 hours...without stops...yeah that's to far for me to do by myself.

I dont know what made me decide to drive home.  I think part of me realized that i only had finals to take(online) and besides that i had nothing to do.  I had about a week and a half with no purpose.  I knew i would not accomplish anything big during that time, in fact, i know that i would have spent all day playing video games.  It also got really lonely with Alex being gone!  By the time we get back home after this visit and i start classes again the first week of May, he should be back before Mothers Day!

Speaking of school, oh my, i am so glad these classes are over!  Microbiology was actually really interesting to me, Health and Wellness..ehh.  There were a few things i learned that were interesting to me, but i hate theories!  I like concrete things.  But I'm done, and i learned a lot from both classes.  Starting the first week of May i have three classes and 2 labs.  Pathophysiology, Health Assessment I and Fundamentals of health.  With the last two having additional labs in the Sim Center.  The next 8 weeks are going to be killer!    I will definitely have to focus a lot more, spend more time at the library, and find study groups!  I am already signed up for tutoring once a week for patho and it hasn't even started yet! 

I suppose, back to the kids.  We are having a blast up here and the kids are running themselves ragged!  I miss having a yard for them to just run and play in.

Where life is

A person never knows what the day will bring when they wake up.  They simply pray that everything will work out...Ha Ha we know that never happens! 

After an eventful and fun night at the circus with the two munchkins, we decided to sleep in this morning, all the way until 630...I'm sure by now some of you are like OMG, that is what you call sleeping in!  Yes it is, with a 2 year old and a 5 year old, and a mom who is a morning person, our day starts early!  They kids were still excited this morning about the night before so it was still all circus talk!

I have been trying to start T25 over again and made it through last week, but i feel behind a day this week.  I owe a workout, plus the 2 due today, and unfortunately the way i'm feeling, i might just start week 2 over again on Monday.  Knowing Addy, she will have me motivated to work out tonight and i will get caught up!  I love having kids who love to exercise, who ask to work out or to go for a run.  I feel like we are bringing them up right in a world plagued by obesity.  By teaching them the right and wrongs of diet and exercise, it is helping Alex and I work on our own diet and eat healthy! 

This session at school is almost over.  I am so ready to be done with Microbiology and Health and Wellness.  I am ready to start labs in May and then clinicals in July!  I know its nothing but hard from here on out!  I can do it though!   One step at a time, i will get there.
