Sleepytime adventures

I'm awake, like normal, while the hubster is sleeping. All of a sudden he half way sits up licks his hand and vigerously wipes his lips. I asked him what he was doing and all I understood was his lip was stuck on the pillow??? He is a silly man.

Midnight waking

In the stillness of the silence,
Wearing her pink footed pajamas,
I see what love is.

She grabs her cow
In an unconscious slumber.
Soothed by her presence,
as am I.

Great News!

I got my diploma in the mail!!!! I am officially a collage graduate!


However, I make less than 9 bucks an hour.

Woot...

And I am procrastinating my homework.
Why must I torture myself with this constant school thing.
Its really getting old.
But by the time I get my next diploma,
I'll hopefully be giving you all IVs and inserting cathaters.

Accomplishment

I wrote this for a paper a year or so ago and found it. I'm not sure how I like it. But I thought I would post it for you anyway.
My greatest accomplishment is being truly happy. A few years ago I was in an unhealthy relationship. I was settling for unhappiness. For a while, I was just letting my life float by. So many things happened that were out of my control, like the death of my granddad. I was potentially headed for a downward spiral. Then one day I decided that if I wanted to be happy, I had to do something about it. I couldn’t let my life run past me, leaving me in a hazy fog of sadness. And so I broke up with my boyfriend, moved, and transferred schools. This is undoubtedly the best decision I ever made. The first weekend back home my mom told me she had never seen me that happy in years, and that happiness only got bigger. This one decision eventually led me to my husband and daughter who make me laugh every day. They are my sunshine. And so my most satisfying accomplishment is taking my happiness and my future in my hands, instead of letting it just float by.

Update

I got a new job at a care center as a CNA. So far I really like it, besides the fact of feeling like I can't get it all done by the time I am supposed to clock out. I don't know how the other aids do it. They probably just answer their calls and doesn't even think of answering one that isn't their resident.

I work 2-10 which totally sucks. I have to drop Zdawg off at daycare by 11 so she is there before nap. So that only leaves a few hours to play together. Then I hardly see Chris. But it is only temporary. I am on a list to get to days, but he was only hiring for nights right now.

School is kicking my trash. I feel like I am constantly running a day behind where I should be.

Chris and I had a lovely night out for Valentines. We usually don't make a big deal about it, but I got my first paycheck the day before so we decided to celibrate. We went to a chop chop place and ate yummy expensive food. I did the calculations that it probably equalled to me toileting about 11 people and feeding about 3 at work. lol.  I'm just glad we both had our heads on because a couple next to us said he is "still trying to get over my $150 bill" when asked if he was feeling the saki. (yea, I'm not a drinker, so I don't know how to spell that). Yikes!!! Then we went bowling and I almost broke 100. I have only done that once before and I was truly wishing that that night was the night for a repeat. But I was wrong. I got 93. I was so bummed because the whole time I had a lead or tied with Chris. But I choked at the end. And he didn't. So final score was 93-98. Soooo close.

I am up late finishing an application for a nursing program. Wish me luck!!!!

Zoey got a big girl bed last weekend. And she slept in it aaaaalllll night last night for the first time since before Christmas. Heaven. As much as I love getting kicked and punched in the middle of the night, it was nice to have only fight off Christopher for a night instead of both little bed hogs.
