I suck....

...at posting! Life is (as always) busy, and I really let the blog get away from me!!!! I am getting ridiculously busy with school (its my next to last semester so its a bit crazy!) and have been working. However...the best part of life. 4 more months of this stupid, no good, very bad deployment :)

wordless wednesday

Progression...

I am pretty emotional today--for a lot of reasons--just wasn't the day I had hoped for today and that set me off into a breakdown...I take comfort in looking at pictures of my family..so here is a little progression from the last 8 months of my life!!!

Return from abscense!

WOW! It has been forever since I blogged!!! I sooooo apologize! Life got a bit out of hand the past few weeks and I could barely squeeze in sleep let alone blogging! School has been taking up so much of my life--between clinicals and a community health day and just class and studying...I feel like I hardly have time for anything else! However I have been working overnights and just am ZONKED the next day!

On the other hand--I have been working out consistently now! I didn't take measurements before I started, but I can feel a difference in how my pants fit!! YAY!! I have a goal in mind- and I am determined to reach it!!

I have some pictures to update but I am not on my computer, so I will try and get them up tomorrow! sorry for being gone so long!

Trying to beat the blues...

The week following Jeff's departure was...rough. I couldn't get motivated to save my life-so needless to say, I didn't accomplish most of my list. Its definitely a hard feeling to be with the spouse and feel normal, and then to have that ripped away again. I am slowly getting back into the routine but I still am not quite there. I sadly didn't make it to the gym last week, and was all prepared to make it there this week, but this darn crazy winter storm screwed up those plans!! The Y is closed :(

Well, sorry for my lack of posting--I worked the night shift recently, so my schedule is all messed up..will blog again soon!!

To Do

Its going to be a long couple weeks!

-turn in my gym membership papers
-attend a cloth diapering information class
-work on the secret project for Jeff's care package
-study for the test I have
-go back to work after 3 awesome weeks off
-GO to the gym
-find a little "me" time.

The hardest part about the spouse leaving is trying to get back into your routine. Don't get me wrong, I totally loved having my routine thrown off for two weeks-especially since it was because Jeff was home. But now, witht he baby, and trying to get him back on the semi schedule we have him on--its been a bit of a nightmare. I FINALLY got him to nap today-after much resistence on his end.

I also haven't puch much effort into this semester for the two weeks (almost 3) that the semester has been going. Granted, we have only had class twice (and I skipped once-the day of my birthday), but now, I really really REALLY need to kick it into high gear and GET GOING! Its been difficult to get motivated, because everything is so disorganized so far, and I have a hard time functioning when the teacher can't be clear or specific about when she needs things done, or even WHAT she needs done! UGH!

Together....

...is a wonderful place to be :)
