Somedays I have so many great plans that I can't keep them all straight in my head. It's like excitement ADD. Today is one of those days. I keep thinking about all the fun things we're going to do this summer and in the next few months. Next week we're going to Evansville to visit relatives (some of whom John will meet for the first time). Then the week after we're having a BBQ at John's parent's house as a Welcome to the World party for Deklan. Then one of my best friends in the whole wide world Kacyn is moving to North Carolina so we're gonna go to Bloomington to visit her one last time before she leaves :-( We're planning a trip to Chicago (pretty much our favorite place!) the first week of August and in October we're going to Hawaii for a week on our honeymoon! And those are just the bigger things. I keep thinking about going to drive in movies, and the racetrack, and the riverboat casino, and concerts, and the state fair, and swimming, etc. Like I feel like for the first time we're finally going to get to do the things we've always talked and dreamed about doing.
I've also been thinking about Christmas gift ideas. lol. Really early right? I know. But I have a really good idea and I think it's gonna take some time to put it together. So I gotta get started now. I'm not gonna say what it is on here in case I decide to give some of those people the address to our blog. As of right now I think Tara is the only one who's reading this. lol. Hey Tara! Good luck with your labor by the way! Can't believe your baby boy is gonna be here tomorrow! I'm so happy for you! I didn't wanna write this on facebook for fear of offending anyone but don't be surprised if you start having some negative feelings toward Aurora at first after the baby comes. I was so annoyed with Melanie all the time at first and another friend of mine just had a baby and said the same thing about her 2 year old son. I think it's normal to feel as if the older baby is just getting in the way of your bonding time with your youngest. It goes away after a week or two though and you shoudn't feel bad if you do feel that way about it. Anyway, can't wait to see pictures of him and find out his name!
Ok I DEFINITELY just went off on a tangent. lol. Anyway, the basic idea here is that I have so many ideas and aspirations of things to do and so little time to do them in. Plus I start back to school August 24th. I can't WAIT! I'm really only taking one class that will count toward my degree because of the way the timing of everything worked out. I'm taking 4 classes total but my Anatomy class is the only one that counts toward my degree. If I'd been able to take Anatomy this summer it wouldn't have been like that but since I didn't it puts me a whole semester behind so I have to take stupid blow off classes to get myself up to full time so I don't send my loans into repayment and because there's alot more grant and loan money available if you're full time. And since I'm not working the loan and grant money is something we're depending on. I wish I could work but between the kids and school I think it would be stretching me pretty thin. Having 2 kids under 2 is a full time job in itself! Well either way, I can't wait until Anatomy starts. Even though it's ridiculously hard and not fun all the time it's so interesting! And I can see how it directly applies to what I'm gonna be doing every day at work. My first semester of Anatomy was hard but once I got the hang of it and figured out what kind of things were important and which ones weren't it wasn't too bad. If all goes as planned I'll apply for nursing school in April and start clinicals a year from this August! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!
Well, we're going to Ashley's house today to have a little playdate (meaning me and Ashley-not the kids. lol). Melanie has been talking about it all morning and is so excited. I need to get the diaper bags packed and get Deklan in his carseat, wake Melanie up and get her dressed, and get dressed myself all in the next half hour. lol. That means I gotta go. More to come another day. Thanks for reading. :-)
