First Day

So yesterday was my FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! I'm not going to lie to you, I was going to get my hubby to take my first day of school picture for the blog and I was going to tell you what an amazing day I had as a born again college student. Because you know; like we discussed yesterday, I was  getting a great night of sleep, gonna wake up, get all my online work done, take a test to exempt my Research class so I got the credit but didn't have to take it. RB was going to be home from work before 5 like he discussed with his boss, I was leaving FAR with him, gonna get in my shinny Kia (who's name is Mia) and drive to school with a smile on my face. 

I wish. Let's talk about what really happened shall we? 

I did get a great night of sleep, but Fletch woke up so sick with a horrid cold. So I jump on the computer while RB gets ready for work and feeds Fletch breakfast and I decide, hey I have time to do my super important test before RB leaves. They give me a hour but yeah.. i'm way smarter than that and I can fly through it... 

That test kicked my butt. I failed. So who will be taking Research this semester? Yours truly. and that is a lesson learned to me that I do not know everything, I can't do it all, and I am not superwoman.  Thanks Jesus. Good lesson... 

I was so angry at myself and I took it allll out on RB. (Who's a horrible wife? *raises hand*) After giving him the 3rd degree as he walked out the door to go to work, I sent him a text telling him something along the lines of thanks for not supporting me (not true) and we got into a huge fight. He called me from work and basically told me he was right and I was wrong. He does support me. He tried to help me twice before he left. and that if I didn't appreciate him, I could do it all by myself he wasn't helping anymore. 

And you know what bloggy friends? That was exactly what I needed to hear. I'm gonna say this once so listen carefully because I don't say this a lot... 

He was right. I deserved it.  

After that moment I turned off the computer. I spent the rest of the afternoon with my baby guy. Trying to teach him to color red. Playing blocks. Tickling his pigs. Then and there I decided a few things... 

If FAR needs me, he will get me. If he is not asleep, or playing with his dad, my computer will be off. I will be spending time with my son.

It's all about balance. I've got to find the right time to get my school work done, get things done around the house, spend time with my family, and sleep.

Anyway, back to my day. So then RB text's me his schedule and I realize he gets off at 6 not before 5. So thank God for my sister I can take FAR to her on my way to school. 

So no first day of school pictues for you, in fact, after yesterday, no pictures at all. I feel like i've been hit by a bus. I am so mentally exausted I could scream. This is why your getting a rambling babbling long blog post... 

But it's from my heart. and that counts for something right? 

PS- Mia the Kia wasn't shiny at all... she was totally dirty. 

A Test, A Smartphone, and all of the stuff in between...

Yes, Yes, Yes, I know I know. I haven't posted ALL day. I knew today was gonna be a crazy day and I thought to myself last night I should schedule a post but it didn't happen between the studying and everything else. But we will get to that in a minute.


Yesterday RB's entire fam was over and we grilled steaks for Father's Day. Did I take a single photo? Nope. Anyway, Well his sweet Aunt Kay who I love was talking about how she hated her smart phone and asked me if I wanted to trade. So I am now the proud owner of a Droix x2. It's no iphone but i'm moving on up!! (Tiff- I know you'll be so proud!!) and it was FREE! 

The test. Ohhh buddy. So all the studying i've been doing has been for a test to enter college. If you remember here (which you probably don't because I had 2 followers then) I'm going back to school in the fall. Well today I had to take an entrance exam to be admitted/see if I had to take remedial classes. So let me tell you I STINK at math. Always have and always will. Today on the Math part of the test I had to make at least a 20 to be admitted into my school and I had to make a 36 to test into college level math and not to take a remedial... welll.... 

I MADE A 21! 

So will I have to be in remedial math? Yup. Do I care? Nope. All that matters is that I can go to school in the fall and I will walk in that class with a SMILE on my face. (Just fyi- I tested college level in Reading & Writing) 

Am I oh so happy? YES. You know what makes me even happier? My husband is cooking dinner. 

Ok Ok i'm off my high horse. Tomorrow will be back to normal.. all about the little guy.
