The Monday(and tuesday, wednesday, thursday...) Blue's

Is it Friday yet? That used to help me get through the Monday Blue's. After becoming a mommy, and a stay-at-home one at that, "Friday" started to lose its' appeal. What does Friday mean anymore, it's really no different from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, etc. in the Mommy world. I don't know if anyone else run's into this but some days I can barely remember my own name, let alone the day of the week. So, while sitting in my A&P class today, I started thinking of way's I could learn to combat these blues. If you're like myself, then you love music. Eric Church, the good looking guy he is, can sing any worries of mine away! Sometimes us moms just need a little time to ourselves. After about 3 songs, I've relearned remembered my name and if I'm really lucky, sometimes even the day of the week!




Besides that, I was thinking today while at school, what am I really working towards? I'm not a materialistic person, I don't really have a desire to be a millionaire in this lifetime. Give me my hubby and peanut and well, I'm a happy girl. So why am I going to school? Then it hit me, I cannot Wait to wear these! I realize I'm working towards that proud moment in my life when I can wear these and call myself an RN. It made the hour and 15 minute of my life in A&P this evening seem a little bearable.

Well unfortunately the dishes aren't going to themselves(although I wish) and the peanut's not going to put himself to sleep so it's off I go. Tomorrow's Tuesday( I think!) and it's another day.

English, Math, and Sweetpea?

So I think I need to rephrase how I started my blog yesterday. I'm not rude or a mean person in any way, I just want to use my blog as an honest place for me! That's all...now on to my oh so interesting life!




Finished last night playing some serious catch up with my Math and English homework, only to wake up and do more all over again. I can't say my Professor's are mean and don't give me enough time, I'm pretty sure I had two weeks for each. Such the life of a procrastinator! The hubby thinks I was working hard but if I'm being honest with all of you, and shouldn't I? A lot of that time was spent browsing blogs and Facebook'ing. I'm a technologically dependent Mom, I have no qualms admitting it. My blackberry and Mac are never too far out of reach!




In between that intense and studious studying(and Facebook'ing) session, time was spent chasing the peanut around trying to bathe and dress him. That, for all you Moms out there, know it's a marathon in itself! He's discovered drinking the bath tub water he's sitting in and bathing in tastes delicious!
I could pretend to be the perfect mother and say I stop him immediately but then we'd be back to that lying again. If it keeps me semi-dry and peanut under control, scratch that, somewhat under control while bathing him, who am I to deny the boy of his thirst?

It's no secret the hubby and I would love to have another baby around in the future, and it's most definitely no secret that I will read any book and try any move to conceive a baby girl when that time comes! Not that I don't love the peanut, look at him, what's not to love? He is all boy, he's loud, rambunctious, crazy, and that's why I love him to bits. What mother doesn't want a preious little sweetpea to wrap in pink though and dream about the day when she's old enough to discover what great fabulous things await you at the Mall!? This momma, right here.

Okay, I'm beginning to ramble and lose any point to this blog. The whole point was to say, while doing my extensive web browsing last night, I discovered Etsy( www.etsy.com) Heaven! This for example, the cutest wall decal I've possibly ever seen. Leaves me drooling over the day I can start to decorate that future sweetpea's nursery! Might not be next month, or even next year but hey, a momma can dream right?

First Year;First Semester:New Beginning!

I've never really tried this blogging thing...Word of caution:I plan to just dump anything out that I'm thinking at that particular moment from here on out so if you're easily offended then the great thing is, it's my blog and you don't have to read it! :)

I lead a pretty average life, so I can't guarantee just how interesting I can keep this but I need something to help me regroup now and again with my sanity with the hectic life I lead nowadays as a mommy, wife, and nursing student! It's nice to have somewhere I can say whatever my little heart desires.

Let's see... The Hubby and I^ have been married almost 2 years now. Our peanut is going to be 2 this summer. The hubby is graduating this May with his degree for Criminal Justice(so proud!) The peanut is about as independent as they come at that size. Which leaves me...well, looking for what's next for Mommy's life!

With the fantastic support system of family and friends I have, I decided that I'm finally going back and finishing my RN degree. After I finish up my RN, I plan to move on to finishing my BSN and working my way up to finishing a Master's for Nurse Practitioner. Some say I won't ever make it that far but that's okay, I've got lots of time to prove them wrong. I'm a firm believer in the fact that it's never too late to change where you're headed in life! I'll admit, this being my first semester, it's opened my eyes to the challenges that lie ahead. It's interesting to fit in the cooking and the cleaning...and some math homework and some reading time with the peanut...and some more anatomy notes before bedtime at 12 o clock at night! Exhibit A: messy living room that just has to go untouched for awhile^. If you know me, you'll know my anal'ness and how that little mess right there drives me insane! It will all be worth it though, I really believe that. The hubby and I, we've got big goals so I have a feeling this is just the start for me.

We keep ourselves motivated with quotes we both like hanging up on our cork board. Since you can't see them, I think I'll finish with one and maybe help inspire someone else! This is one of my favorites(and the first time I heard it was on One Tree Hill..who knew television drama could be so inspirational!)
