Schoooooool's out for. ever.

Actually not quite. On Tuesday though I will be done with the Spring semester. I'm taking 19 hours right now, and another 12 this summer. Yikes! I did, however, take my hardest final this morning, and it lived up to my expectations. I walked out of there feeling very bad about myself, lol, but that's how it goes. I have another final this evening, and then another one due tomorrow evening. After that only two more due on Tuesday. Geesh, that actually sounds like a lot.

When I graduate I'm thowing myself a HUGE party. Even if I'm the only one attending... haha. I really despise studying, and doing homework, so, school is hard for me. I am expected to graduate next May though. One more year, and now that I've had Taylor the years seem to be going by much faster, so, before I know it I'll be done.

Everyone wish me luck tonight thru Tuesday. I think I'm going to need it. Have a great Friday everybody!!!

Barking dogs, trains, and birds

How is anyone expected to sleep anymore? I live in a small rural community with about 12 people in it, but apparently everyone has a dog, a train, and squacking birds in their backyard that only come out after 10:00pm. I can't take it anymore! Ok, really there's only ONE train, but a million dogs and birds.
An ongoing joke between myself and my family is how seriously I take my sleep. I'm in bed by 10:00 every night, and I do not function well on anything less than 8 hours. Well, this leads me to the last WEEK of my life. I have one dog. A big stupid dog. He barks at his own shadow, and he does it right outside my bedroom window. Our neighbor... our neighbor has 4 dogs. 4!. We live less than 200 yards away from the railroad tracks... which is probably the only thing that keeps this town up and running, anywho, this last week a train has come through about 30 minutes. We don't get the nice conductors either.... we've got the a-holes that pull the horn in one long, loud stream from one end of town to the other, even though it's the middle of the night!! Jerks. As if that weren't enough, we have two rather large trees in our front yard where some very obnoxious birds have taken roost, and like to SING in the middle of the night. I can't believe it. My 22 month old daughter doesn't even keep me awake anymore. Geez. What's a person got to do to get a good nights rest anymore?
My rant ends here. I'm going to take a nap. =) Everyone have a great Wednesday!!

Blog award!

Thanks Jess!! I even figured out how to put the picture of the award on my blog all by myself! HAHA... like I said, I'm figuring it out one step at a time.

Why I love to blog?? Because it gives me a way to "meet" other people just like me, and to meet people who aren't like me at all, which is even better sometimes. I love to read the different styles of writing (I'm sort of a Language Arts person), and blogging is my way to vent when I'm having a rough day, or to share funny stories about myself or my crazy family!! Whom I love with my whole heart.

Im passing this award on to:

Jessica - Life on Brixton Lane

Ashley - Ashley's the name

Both beautiful people, and very interesting blogs. Go leave comments!!

Monday Mournings :-(

This is my contribution to everyone out there who mourns the loss of their weekend, and has to start a whole new week with the worse day possible. MONDAYS! Hence the title... Monday MOURNing.

Just my way of helping to put a smile on your face!

Look to the left of the bucket. Do you see the "Don't put the baby in the bucket" sign? Oops.

Here's me looking rather ridiculous. I'm putting my own image on the line for you people!! =)

A laundry basket? You may ask. Well, Taylor decided it would be a great idea to make herself comfortable inside the laundry basket. Yes, a real prodigy ladies and gentlemen.

I'll be working on the something clever for next week's "Monday Mourning". Try to have a great day everyone!

Water bugs.... *high shriek*

I honestly, 100%, with all of my heart believe that water bugs is God's way of earthly punishment for humans. I do. What other reason could they possibly have besides complete terror?? They're sneaky, they hide, they're ugly, and they generally only come out at night. Need I say more? No. But I'm going to anyways. Apparently these bugs are different than your every day roaches... your house doesn't have to be dirty in order for them to invite themselves over. I keep a clean house for those skeptics out there!! They like the sewer, so, living in town is apparently NOT the place to be if you have "water bug phobia" (which I do). Septic is the way to go! I've found these little bastards in my sink, bathtub, hiding in my mixing bowls that I leave on my counter, and once one of them ran across my living room floor. I'll spare you a picture of these creatures because honestly, I coudn't stand doing a search for one. Ugh. My poor husband will get woke up in the middle of the night if I find one. Killing them is almost worse than the actual sight of them. Almost.
It's a huge fiasco when I'm home alone and one decides to show it's ugly little face (if you can call it that). I generally wait for my hubby to get home outside.
Why the ranting you may ask?? I just found one in the bottom of my bathtub, and now I'm completely grossed out. Why God? Why water bugs?? Eternal damnation in the firey depths of Hell isn't enough??? Ok... I'm getting a little dramatic, but I hate water bugs. Hate them.

Sleeping Beauty

Just a thought:
How can my little girl be so beautiful and peaceful one minute (usually when she's sleeping), but the next be a tornado with flaying arms, running through walls, and screaming her tiny head off??? It's CRAZY!!
Don't get me wrong, I am actually very lucky, and 90% of the time Taylor is very well-behaved, but the other 10% is Rosemary's child.... seriously.

Flashback Friday (I wanna play too!!)

My baby girl just one day old... we're still in the hospital at this point.

My beautiful family just an hour or so after Taylor was born. =) I'm so proud.

The best for last!! My baby girl was only 4 months old, and anyone wanna guess who that handsome fellow is?? Only 2 or 3 days old... they day after they came home from the hospital.

CADEN LEE!!!! (duh!)
