Crazy Busy

Hey PEEPS!!! I've missed you! Sorry I have been MIA. I will try to find the time to stop by and visit your Bloggy Blogs here soon. School has started for me, so you are now looking at a real live College girl. Can you believe it? I still can't. Especially at 4:50 am when my alarm starts going off. That's when I wanna say "screw it, I don't need no stinkin degree". Ok only a little, but it does suck royally. When the kids are getting ready for bed, I'm ready too. I certainly don't feel like staying up for anything. Like homework?! Ugh RIGHT! Homework. TV is less appealing, movies seem impossible. I mean, would I REALLY stay awake that long? Nothing sounds better than sleep, Not even BLOGGING!! Scary right? I'm feeling seriously old, cause it is just after 9:00 and I am sooo done. I just wanted to stop in and make those of you who actually give a damn rest easy knowing I am still alive and kicking (albeit lethargically) (YES Adam L is for LAZY). So I miss all of you, but the exhaustion is slightly stronger at the moment so you are just going to have to wait a little longer for any real update worth reading. I know, I know, everything I say is WORTH it. Its a gift. BUT I need some rest so I can finish my first Shooting Assignment! One of many many many more to come. EEEEK!
Ciao

Somethings Gotta Give

I'm exhausted. And totally at a loss. I have no idea how this whole ME going back to school thing is going to work. I mean, its HAS to. Plain and simple. But friggen A. So far I am STILL waiting to find out if my son can get into SAS (School Age Services). It's before and after care. Well apparently when a kid has ADHD its like a whole PROCESS. A board has to meet to decide if they are fit for care. WTF ever. Seriously? There are soooo many kids these days with that diagnosis. Why make it more difficult? OK so He has some more problems than just ADHD, but we wont get into that right now. I just cant handle thinking about that too at the moment. But as a parent of a very difficult child, Im just wondering "Why Make my life more difficult?". Just let the kid in already. Because now I have to have a back up plan. Yeah, when you don't live anywhere near family, and have no friends, that's not exactly easy to do thank you very much. Oh and if he DOES get in, he is on a 30 day "trial period". What?! So if he gets in trouble he is done? Well we are screwed then cause baby, 30 days with no trouble? That would be a miracle. I'm worried enough about his days being longer and him being able to have good days when there is an extra 4 hours he has to behave. And the meds will wear off while he is there... *shakes head* sips wine* yikes.
Lets move on to reason number two that this is going to be a roller coaster ride. I am the worlds most unorganized person. Seriously. You don't want to see my house. I don't even want to see my house. The number one reason I am lookin at the computer screen instead: Your Blogs are much prettier than my living room. Oh did I say living room? I meant laundry basket. Cause that's where all the clean clothes go for the rest of their days as clean clothes. They rarely make it to the closets. I am known to be running around the house last min trying to find a sock, or a shoe for one of the kids. Oh and where the hell are my keys!!? "Adrianna!!!! Where is my LIP GLOSS?!!". Damnit I need to iron pants! Ugh. And seriously, I have LITERALLY had to take a pair of underwear for my son OUT of the WASHER and IRON them dry so the kid didn't have to go commando to school. Yup, I'm a slacker. SOOOOO not your Wonder MOM. The opposite of domestic Goddess. I never imagined I would be this way. And my escape is supposed to be going back to school?!! Somehow I think this will backfire. Ok most definitely it will. Do they hypnotize people into organized human beings? Because if so, COUNT ME IN!! I would like my entry way to look like this:

My Pantry This:

My closets This:

With everything in its place (that of course would mean things HAD a place, not just wherever I happen to drop it). Oh yeah, I am going to ROCK this college thing! Hahahahah! Oy Vey. I have tried to get organized like this but can never do it!!

Reason number three is actually not so bad. I'm freakin out over leaving my baby girl. She will be 4 in February. But I have been a stay at home mom for over 7 years and leaving my kids is like ripping an arm off. Even if it is an arm I don't particularly like 100% of the time. JUST kidding (sorta). I love my kids, being a MOM is my life. But I am at the point where I don't want it to be MY ONLY life. I also don't want to lose the quality time I have with the kiddos. So how do I balance it all and not go crazy? Drink Heavily You Say?! That I can do...

College... GIRL?

Not quite sure I can call myself GIRL anymore!! but... YIKES I'm GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!Full time... (OK pending actual admission), but still, I'm sooo flippin excited, and NERVOUS. Its been quite some time since I was out there in the world with other ADULTS. I took some classes a while back, but they were online, and while it IS school, its not the same as being in CLASSES with other people. People. Huh, I used to be such a PEOPLE person, now Im freaking out that I am going to be the only "been at home with my kids for the past 7 years, don't know how to do the Cha Cha Slide, pushing 30 chick (hen)" in the class. Seriously people, I don't know how to do the Cha Cha Slide. Thats how much I get out. My 50 year old AUNT knows how, but me? Nope. freakin out a little! I am supposed to be Starting in August. I applied to a whole new school and everything. I'm actually going to do something FUN and something I will love doing! Amazing Right? Bachelors in Photographic Imaging Anyone? YAY!!! Now I'm trying to decide if I want to start in August or October. Because I have kids, October would be easier. Tre will be in School and I will have time to get Adrianna into a good Pre-K & get more time with the kiddos this summer. BUT that means I will be starting in the beginning of a Fall Semester, right along with all the freshouttahighschool peeps, and it also means larger classes. What to do, what to do? August? October? EEK. But really, Im STOKED. I Love love being a Stay at Home Mom. I am so incredibly grateful that I have had this much time to be home with my kids and not have to worry if not working was hurting our family. We truly are blessed. But I feel like I need something else, ya know? Like something that's just mine. So I'm going to do it! 9 years after graduating High School, Being in the Air Force, Marriage, 2 kids, and I'm finally going to really do the COLLEGE thing! OH MY!! Wish me luck!!

Anyway, Here is a couple pics from the 4th with the FAM!
Hmmm Bomb Pops, white clothes: Good Idea Dad!! ;)

Me & My Princess!

Watching the FIREWORKS! It was actually an impressive show!

And Last but certainly not Least, some adorably Cheesetastic Shots of my lovely kids! (all 3)
