I seem to have a hard time blogging when I am in school. Our lives all of a sudden become quite boring and uneventful! We never seem to have time for anything and once again our laundry is piling up. I am completely looking forward to the spring/summer and I am getting very antsy about it. This warmer weather is teasing me!! I am having a hard time staying focused with anything lately because I keep finding myself wishing it was next May. I know its bad to wish it was over a year from now, but I cant help but think of how my life will change when I am done with school! I will be able to just come home from work and relax, or clean the house, or watch tv.. I wont have to spend my hard earned money paying these stupid professors.. who really dont care worth a dang about you or if you pass the class. I know that I wont have a guaranteed job when I get done with school, but just knowing I finally got my degree and that I am officially done will be nice! To tell you the truth.. I never thought that I would even get this far in school, I figured I would go get my associates and then be done. But seeing my families and also the world, I am realizing that I do need an education. Of course I would love to stay at home and take care of my kids forever.. but if I am going to be realistic, I know that we would have a sad poor life if I did that. And no, its not about the money for me, but when I have kids I want to make sure they have everything they need!! I don't want to have to worry about the lack necessities when they are born, I want to know that everything will be okay! So for those reasons, I am sticking with this school thing! I never thought of myself as one of those people that would work this hard for something, but I am surprising myself! I do get stressed (all the time!) and I get frustrated, but once the semester is done and I pass my classes it is the best feeling in the world! Now that I am only a little over a year from graduating, I am getting soo excited and anxious! I hear a future date and I immediately wish it was that date! I think.."Oh.. even if it was next friday that would be one week closer!!" Its crazy, and frankly I hate living life that way because I love to just think about now.. but I can't help it anymore!! This semester is an awesome semester for me! I love it! Why you ask? Because I am actually doing the one thing that I really want to do.. Teach kids!! I am in the lab on tuesdays from 9:30-11:30 (toddlers) and then 1p-4p (preschoolers). What a great fulfilling job that is! I love it and I don't even care if Im not getting paid, or if I will have to work longer at my job because I am there. These kids are amazing! Every once in awhile I think to myself.. "Maybe this job isnt for me.. maybe I cant handle it!" And then I go to the childrens school and it all comes back together! I am completely looking forward to Fall semester where I will get a chance to student teach (the same children's school).. Because of the student teaching, I will have to cut my hours at work because it will not be possible at all to work 40 hrs. I know its going to be extremely exhausting, but man is it going to be awesome!! If everything goes as planned.. I will be student teaching everyday from 7:30-12:30p and then working from 1p-7p.. everyday! Woh.. that is going to be crazy! But I know I can do it! I hope I can do it!! And I know all this will be worth it in the end!
So all in all.. I am quite happy with my decision.. I always try to convince my friends to go back to school and get their degree. Hopefully one day they do, but just know that there will ALWAYS be an excuse not to go to school.. always.. but you gotta just suck it up for awhile and do it! So that is my advice to people that want to go! JUST DO IT!!
Everything around our house is good! Well besides the fact that.. once again.. I have a sinus infection! Does anyone know how to prevent them?! Steven and I are happy as ever and are obsessed with watching.. Hells Kitchen, Biggest Loser(or what I call Big Fat Loser ha ha)..American Idol..Private Practice..Greys Anatomy..and we have picked up watching The Big Bang Theory (which we have seemed to like so far!). We always look forward to those shows in the week, and kind of makes the week less hectic and sucky!
Well that's a long enough blog for now! Hopefully I didn't bore you! I should have some awesome pictures next week to post so come back and check it out!

How I spend my week.
In case you were wondering how I spend my week.. I have decided to do a breakdown of the hours I spend in the certain area. (I know you were all wondering!) Anyway, I was personally interested myself in how I spend my week. So here it is!
40 hrs WORKING
63 hrs SLEEPING (I wish it was more! ha ha)
10 hrs IN SCHOOL
11 hrs DOING HOMEWORK
2 hrs WATCHING STEVEN PLAY SPORTS
6 hrs WATCHING SPORTS LIKE JAZZ OR FOOTBALL
18 hrs HANGING OUT WITH FAMILY
5 hrs DRIVING TO AND FROM
13 hrs WATCHING TV, PLAYING ON THE INTERNET (this also includes eating because we eat while we watch tv)
_________
168 hrs total
So that is my week.. Nothing too exciting, and if it was up to me.. I would work no hours and sleep more and play more and watch movies more! So what does your week look like?

What I think
I have read enough from other bloggers to realize that I don't need some major event to write something on here. So I'm just gonna start writing about random topics from time to time. Often times I ask Alyssa some weird questions. She looks back at me with a puzzled look. You know.... that "What the Hell are you talking about" look. So I thought I'd put a couple of those random questions down.
Why isn't a bologna sandwich not called a bologna and cheese sandwich? Think about it! Ham & Cheese, BLT..... why is the bologna so special that is gets it's own title. It ain't right. Besides bologna tastes like an armpit.
Why don't they make cars specifically for midgets! Just a mini version of a car or truck that midgets can drive with comfort. Instead they gotta drive around with a booster seat. Don't tell me they couldn't do it though. Those stupid Europeans all drive in ridiculously small cars already.
Speaking of midgets... why do midgets ALWAYS drive in massive trucks! If you even get a chance to see what kinda vehicle a midget drives I'd advise you to do it. I'd bet my face that they get into a LARGE truck. I guess they don't want midget cars.
What if someone had two left feet... literally! How would they buy their shoes? Would they have to pay for two pairs and throw the right foot shoes away?
Drew Barrymore is dumb!
Why do they refer to a Platypus as a "Duck-billed platypus?" Is it part duck or something? I get it, the bill kinda looks like ducks bill, but come one. The Platypus should be distinct. Maybe the Platypus came first who knows? Maybe the duck should be called a "Platypus-billed duck."
Do scientists REALLY know how old stuff is? I call B.S. on most scientific research and all their fancy smancy formulas! Don't tell me the oldest rock on earth is 30 million years old. The planet is a massive ball of rocks isn't it. How can certain rocks be so much older than all the others? Unless the planet has been growing for millions of years I call B.S.
Why do parents think putting an "i or y" in a name automatically changed the name to a girl's name. Ryan---RIan Jordan--JordYn Steve--StevIe Randy--RandI Devin--DevYn! This name stealing has got to stop before we guys have nothing left.
How come my nose is so big?
If the double left footed guy tried to run would he just go in circles? I'm sure he could go straight with some practice but it's always gonna look funny.
Now I'm gonna be up all night thinking about this stuff!!!

I am stressed!
So I haven't blogged too much lately because 1. We haven't really done too much worth blogging and 2. We have been really busy with work and school. Unfortunately those are what makes my life stressful right now. I am the type of person that loves to go out and do things, so being stuck at my job and at school all day everyday is not my ideal situation. Don't get me wrong.. We still go out and do fun things, but we don't get a chance to do too much while we are in school. I have to force myself to look ahead at my future to get me through the week. School is really stressful this semester as well as my job. I am going to school full time and the first day of school I found out that I have to do labs in 2 out of 4 of my classes. The labs are down in the Children's school in the Education building. Frankly I was excited to hear that I finally get to go play with kids (my dream!).. but the thing that sucks is that I am down in that school for 5 hours on tuesdays and then I have to make up those work hours at different times. So now I go to work at 7am every morning and work until 5:30 every night, just to come home and do homework, make dinner, and try to keep the house semi clean. I look forward to my tuesdays because playing with those kids makes my week. I love them already and I have only got to teach them for 2 weeks. It is probably the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. Then there is work... I got transferred in October to the Kiesel Jail. I was not too happy about the move and now that it has been 3 months.. I am still not happy. I dont really like my job there, and I dont have any really good friends there.. so it makes for a long work day. I am sad that I got moved over there without a choice and I miss all my friends over at the Sheriffs office.
The one other thing that stresses me out is my problem with trying to please everyone at all times. This week is a huge example of that. I feel like I am someone that people can rely on. I am not the type to cancel on anyone unless there is an extremely good reason, so I feel like that is something positive I have about me, and I am very proud of that. So this week I let some people down.. not because I personally did or didn't do something, but because everyone wants me to be everywhere all the time. I can not clone myself and give myself out to everyone, I go where I made plans and I live with the decision. I dont really want to go off on this too much because frankly, I am just a little mad about it. But just know.. if I make plans, that is what I am doing. So Im sorry to anyone that feels like I am not around enough, and hopefully one day you will understand that I am trying to do everything that I can.
Okay, I feel a little better now!
For those of you that dont know.. I have changed my major. It isn't a huge change, but I changed it from Early Childhood Education to just Early Childhood with a concentration on Education. So this means for me basically that I will be done 2 years sooner.. yes I am serious, and not exaggerating.. 2 years sooner! Which makes me extremely excited! If everything goes well.. I will graduate May 2010!! Yeah!! I am hoping to Student teach next semester, and I do have to go to summer school this summer, but I think it will be well worth it! The only bad thing about changing to this major is that I have less of a chance of getting a Kindergarten job.. It might be harder for me to get in, but once I do they will pay for me to finish my teaching degree. But also, they have a major shortage of Kindergarten teachers, and my father in law is the best principal around.. so everyone seems to think I wont have a problem at all. And for what I want right now, I feel like this is a good decision.
So that is my life right now! I hope everyone is doing well and having a nice new year!
