I have been really depressed and miserable lately….
Among many things, I’ve been thinking about the things I wish I had…
a loving marriage,
an illusive 4th precious gift from God to complete our family,
the things I want to have fixed or changed about our home,
a second vehicle that would make our life SOOO much easier, etc
along with the many things I wish I’d done differently in my life.

So, today I’ve been trying to think positively and be thankful for what I DO have. So far I’ve thought of…
My faith in Jesus Christ and the freedom to exercise that faith,
a husband who is very good at his job,
3 healthy little girls,
a warm home,
a nice vehicle,
clean running water,
food,
people that love and care about me even if they are hundreds or thousands of miles away,
and the internet to keep in touch with them.

I have so much to be thankful for, I don’t know why it is so much easier to focus on the crappy part of my life….

gotta run, might post more later!

The only non sucky thing out of my day so far has been Psych class. I really enjoy that class, it isn’t nearly long enough. We could easily fill 3 or 4 hours. I much prefer to sit and talk about things instead of just listen, I learn better in a group of people with lots of examples of real life applications to the topics.

After Psych I had to go take the second test in BIO (Anatomy & Physiology). It was a total waste of my time. The sheet she gave us to study off from for the test…..yeah half of that crap wasn’t on the test it was other stupid crap that we hadn’t studied. I barely got a C on the first practical over tissues and anatomical terms last week (the bad part is that I KNOW all the anatomical terms, just not the way SHE uses it). In fact to show what a crappy class this is, EVERYONE did so poorly on it that she is giving a retake practical on it for anyone who wants to take it again. I am glad I wasn’t in the minority…misery loves company I guess.

Today is Wednesday and that means playgroup at a friend’s house. I look forward for a week to get out of the house and with other parents of young children. Yep, missed that for a stupid test that I probably flunked anyway.
I want to drop this class so I can almost guarantee myself an A in my other classes. If I did drop this one that would put me behind and this whole degree thing takes so damn long anyway seeing as how many years are spent learning crap that I will NEVER EVER need to know for real life/job. I’m just bummed all the way around. I should have done this crap BEFORE I had kids not AFTER. I wish I would have been raised to value higher education, not view it as optional. It bugs me because it takes away from my most important job at this time which is to be a good mother and to keep the house in good working order (if there is such a thing…).

Now that I’ve spent 20 minutes typing I think I’ll go procrastinate some more by trying to take a few minute nap. I’ve been sick for over 3 weeks and I’m totally run down.

Thought I should post….in case I got out of the habit (pretty funny since I’ve not gotten IN the habit yet (and I couldn’t be IN a habit even if I wanted to since I’ve been married for 7 1/2 years and I have 3 kids…sorry rabbit trail) funny funny. *okay that was pathetic*

I’m holed in upstairs to get away from the resident grouch. I wanted to study while the T.V. was muted but the powers that be didn’t care so I came to the frozen north (aka upstairs) to study. Of course the kids followed me and are being loud so there goes the studying… no wonder I’m getting a B- in BIO.

oops gotta go sis in law is here. YEAH a break in the monotony!

I’m posting today for a few reasons….
1. My almost 2 y/o is SLEEPING (and has been for a while which is a miracle).
2. because when I viewed my page from someone else’s blog I was mortified to find that I hadn’t posted since OCTOBER.
and
3. when I exclaimed aloud that I hadn’t blogged since October my friend promptly replied, “I KNOW I USED to check your blog!”. LOL

I’m happy to say that I passed my last semester of college with a 3.87 placing myself on the Dean’s list for the first time (and sadly probably the last).
My classes this semester are not too bad… The Psych teacher is really cool. The Logic teacher ROCKS, too bad the course doesn’t rock. My Bio teacher is INCREDIBLY BORING!!!!! Thank God for Brandon (a premed student) or I’d have a big fat F in the class (along with the other people in our group who can’t make sense of the instructor’s ramblings).

Yesterday I was grooming a cat and just as I was finishing him he decided that he was sick of me and chomped on my right index finger. Gave me a nice puncture wound that is small but painful and is swelling and stiff.

I have two knitting projects that I need to finish but I want to start a new one that is more “interesting”. Nevermind that I have a ton of sewing to do but I need help with some of it and in an effort not to waste fabric I am waiting for help to start it. I don’t need help sewing knitting bags I’m just not inclined to freeze my behind off upstairs. Maybe if I had a TV or stereo up there… yeah probably not then either. The good part about a two story house is that you can get away from the rat race…..the bad part about a two story house is that you are away from the rat race. Doesn’t make sense I know but if I’m upstairs I don’t feel like I’m in touch with everyone else so therefore I don’t go up there much. The other reason is that it is trashed because there isn’t “A place for everything and everything in it’s place”. *that is a slippery slope* lol
