I stink at updates.

I know, I know. So here ya go!

Everything has been going just fine and dandy lately. I feel like a broken record updating because it's always basically the same thing: I'm busy and I'm tired and I miss my friends because I haven't gotten to do anything fun in ages. (insert pout here) However as previously mentioned I'll see everyone next month when we go out for my 30th birthday so that should be fun. I haven't had a party...well...ever in my adult life. We do the family thing at Thanksgiving but as far as having someone surprise me or tell me they're taking care of all the details like one of my girlfriends is doing for me right now, WOW, that's a change. I'm always the one making sure everyone else has had a good birthday in the past and buying cards and baking cakes so I'm actually looking forward to turning 30 because despite the crap I've dealt with the past year I've also had some wonderful things happen and my family and friends are just the best in the world. I'm SO lucky. I have my kids around me every day and even though they make me nuts I'm so grateful they're mine. Things could always be a lot worse, right? :::knock on wood:::

School is good, loads of work to do and it's mid-term and in classic Stephanie fashion I began a month or so ago bombing hard in math and don't have extra time for tutoring b/c of my other classes and having to be home in the afternoons w/ the boys, so I dropped math in hopes to have only two classes next semester and therefore giving me time for math and a tutor b/c I'm obviously going to need it. It's self-paced and I was pretty far behind and I know I couldn't catch up at this point w/ all my other classes/workloads. I was depressed having to do it, but, my GPA is high and my chances of getting into a nursing program are a LOT greater w/o that weighing me down (especially if I fail the dang class) so I can take it later; not an issue. Right now, keeping up my GPA and acing anatomy are huge factors and that's what I have to focus on to get in to the nursing program. I'm debating on whether or not to also apply to Jeff State since it's also close by and increase my chances of getting into "a" nursing program next fall. I so need to get through it and cannot stand the thought of slipping through the cracks at CACC where I am now somehow and missing the boat. Whatever, I've still got several months to decide. Right now I'm just trying to get through this semester and get the boys through all the mess they get into and have at school!

That's about it for now, I'll update again soon with some new pictures when I get them uploaded. I just finished an essay and am going to bed!!!!
