I celabrated my birthday on Friday. My dad was real excited because IFA was supposed to get a big shipment in of lots of baby chickens, and he wanted Zoey to go see them. So he said we will go on your birthday and go out to lunch. Z and I got ready early in the morning...ok, so maybe it was more like 10...and went to my Grandma's to pick up my mom. (she lives there at the moment. But my parents are still married. Its a complicated arrangement they got going on.) She still had to get ready, so she took Zoey downstairs to "help." While I ended up taking an hour nap on the couch. It was great. Then we went to my dad's. And he still had who knows what to get ready. So I got to watch my discovery health chanel, which I love but don't get at home. So that was great too. This whole time Zoey kept saying "baby chickens! baby chickens!"
We finally got there. And as excited as Zoey was, she really didn't like the baby chickens. She actually was kind of scared of them. It was kinda funny. She didn't mind the baby ducks or bunnys though. They have these quail there that were probably the size of a quarter. They were so tiiiiiiiiny. And cute. Apparently you keep them in an aquarium. Interesting. But whatev.
By the time we get out of there it is already 3, so we just get hamburgers on our way and eat them at his house. By 4 Chris is calling to say he will be home in an hour and to get ready because he wanted to take me to Salt Lake for dinner. It takes a while to get everything ready to go (do you see a patern with my family. Its no wonder I was always late to things growing up.) And for some reason I get home at 5:30. Chris is upset that it took so long. By this time I was just tired and didn't really feel like going out to eat. But he told me we are going because he is leaving in a couple days (more on that later). And we drive and drive.
Turns out he planned a surprise dinner at Joe's Crab Shack! We walk in and there were some friends, and a little while some balloons. Charlotte and Brittany got stuck in traffic. They were supposed to be there before me. I was so surprised. It was a great night.
Saturday Chris had to work. But I had lunch with a few friends I hadn't seen in a long time. It was super nice. Zoey was being a goof like always and shaking her head vegerously whenever they talked to her. Silly thing. Chris got home and we had dinner at my Grandma's. It was a nice night there too. Zoey loves helping her get ready for bed. She knows every single thing she does. Which is a lot. She even got a little tooth flosser thing in a bag. She was in heaven. She even had to sleep with the flosser. It was pretty funny.
Oh! And I got a letter back from the DATC. I am an alternate for the nursing program. Finally not a rejection letter...but not an acceptance letter either. So I just have more waiting to see if I get in.
Sunday was our relax and watch Confrence day.
And so there you have it. My weekend in a nutshell.
On a side note, I only have 2 more chemistry assignments and 1 more test and I'm done with that class. And I have a paper and 2 quizes for microbiology and I'm done there. And it looks like I might get decent grades in it. So if I don't get in this time, I'm a shoe in for Spring.

21 things
Here is a list of 21 things I have on my mind right now.
1-I am hungry
2-I need to go to sleep.
3-I need to tell my dear readers some important things
4-I question my timing.
5-There is a baby in my future.
6-and when I say future, I mean in July. I'm over half way there.
7- 21 weeks actually, hence the 21 things.
8- I know someone who has been reading my blog has had "the itch" so I didn't want to put salt in it to make her feel sad/jealous/any other unpleasant emotion that is totally naturaly and understandable.
9- I've been there. I understand. I'm sorry.
10- But I figured it would be strange to all of a sudden start talking about another child in a few short months without metioning this important detail first.
11-I think I'm crazy because I am still trying to get into nursing school in August......with a 1 month old and a 2 year old.
12-I check the mail daily, even though I know the letter won't be there for another 2 weeks at least.
13-Work as a CNA while pregnant is starting to kill me. I don't know what I will do in a few months.
14-I hope that this is just a phase of my hips moving or something and once everything settles I won't feel like I ran a marathon every morning when I wake up.
15. The dr. said that baby was a boy early on.
16. He then revoked his answer and said girl.
17. My big ultrasound said the same thing.
18. We ask Zo where her baby sister is and she points to her bellybotton.
19. Chris is officially going to be outnumbered. (right now Zo doesn't count because she is too much of a tom boy. But even if this one is too, we can combine them together. And Chris is outnumbered.
20. I have a half innie half outie. I am going to miss my cute bellybotton.
21. I love my life.

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.
