He's home! He's home! He's home!

I wanted to strangle Nick on Sunday and then we made up and he left on Monday. He was gone for his birthday, but I had big plans when he made it back home Wednesday night, well where he was they got 15+ inches of snow in less than 24 hours. So he couldn't leave Wednesday afternoon. I was so sad, but he made it bak and he's across the room from me where we are watching TV together. It's almost perfect.
The bed won't be empty tonight and I'll have to be quiet when I get up in the morning and start picking up after him again, but I love him and I'm so glad he is back where he belongs!

Lots of things have happened while he was gone and I was sans computer. Plus I got tagged to do 25 random things aout me....so let's see if I can come up with 25 things that have happened since I last updated.

People I'd like to strangle...

my mother

my brother and his girlfriend

my husband.

In that order. Excuse me while I go sob and cry and avoid.

Absent but Here

I know I've been absent. I know there are many things I could write about.

I could tell you about how school is. That I'm to the point of the year where I have to start job hunting. That it stresses me out. I could tell you that I'm excited for spring b/c we're going on a field trip. I could tell you that we're switching things up and that its not the "norm" and I'm excited for it. And scared of it at the same time.

I could tell you about how I am struggling with the whole having a baby and the doubting of my ability that I have and that feel like I'm subconsciously analyzing myself and then psyching myself out and therefore think that I'm not trying my hardest to have a baby.

I could tell you about what Nick and I have been doing. How Sadie is. How grown-up my nephew is becoming. I have so many things that I have wanted to share.

But none of it comes out like I want it to, none of it really feels that worthy of the blog, none of it makes sense on paper like it does in my head or my heart.

So I won't go into details on that. I'll just tell you that I'm here, I'm breathing and taking one day at a time. And for now that will have to suffice.

Meanwhile, I'm reading and occasionally commenting and you my dear bloggers have kept me smiling, kept me praying, kept me laughing, kept me crying, kept me grounded, kept me me at the time when I don't think I am even close to me.

I'm Dying...

Not literally, but it sure feels like it. My head is pounding, I can barely keep my eyes open and my voice is fading fast!

Welcome to the first day back from break after 18 days.

I'm exhausted and I still have 2 more hours to go.

Thank Goodness I was smart and planned my massage for tonight after school.

Hopefully Mr. Corn is planning on making dinner and doing laundry tonight, because when I get home I'm planning on laying on the couch and watching TV until I fall asleep.

HELP ME!

AHHHH! What'd I do? I tried to strike through 1 word and I struck through my entire blog....HELP ME!
