A Peaceful Ending

I have to say, this was quite a peaceful ending to a stressful, not so fun week. I came over to the Kelly's Friday night to get snowed in. We weren't anticipating so much snow! We didn't go outside and play this time, but we did have a lot of fun sitting around doing NOTHING. It was so nice to pretend like I didn't have 1000 things to get done. Mrs. Kelly and I had some great chats and watched John Adams together just before we forced the guys into watching the Miss America Pageant (they secretly loved it). I was definitely in need of this break (I know, you're thinking, you've only been in school 2 weeks!). Now I just need some motivation to do some homework. The preschool is closed tomorrow, so maybe I'll find some time to get motivated then. For now, happy snow days!

Feeling Productive

Today I am feeling rather productive. I was just going to vacuum and wipe down my bathroom counters, but I ended up going clean crazy and wiped down everything, deep cleaned, and organized things. Now I am filling my ipod with some CDs. I've already made my lesson plans for the preschool class Monday, and I am going to work on some homework in a bit. I'm not gonna feel like getting stuff done while it's snowing, I'll just wanna sit around and snuggle with a fire and hot chocolate! So, I'm pretty proud of myself for getting some things accomplished. It's a great feeling :)

A better day

So for those of you who have been tracking with me for the past week, you know that I have been in a bit of a pity party. Well, today was much better. I had classes, and they were pretty good (minus the 2 quizzes I nearly failed). Then, I came home and hung out with Jessica again. We went shopping to CATO, and she treated me to 2 new tops and 2 pairs of shoes (flats and closed toed black heals!) All for a grand total of $22! (I've been rockin' the deals lately). Then, we went and got Barbeque, brought it home, and I ate with her and my dad. Now, John is over here doing homework while we watch America's Best Dance Crew. Now I'm thinking I may end this week on a good note

So, yesterday got better as the day progressed. Jessica, my step mom, and I stole each other's music off itunes, she helped me find/kill the wasp, and we just hung out and chatted. I didn't do any homework because I just wanted to get my mind on something positive. 1822 was great, good friends, good time with God...

Now I'm feeling pretty sick. I have had a stuffy nose for the past month, and now it has decided to drain down my throat. Today was a sorta overwhelming day. I had a lot more homework than I anticipated, so I woke up and worked on it from 9-2:45, got ready, then went to my 3 hour class, then rushed over to Youth Group to sing a set I was very unprepared for. (That part is besides the point because kids got saved tonight!), and then went home to finish up more homework. Now I'm done, but I have 2 quizzes tomorrow.

I'm sorry, friends, for my negativity this week. I'm sure it will get better; just, the beginnings of the weeks are usually pretty hectic for me, and this whole sickness thing is no good.

So be praying for restoration. I promise I won't let my next blog be so morbid!

Bad Day

Before you start reading, just know that this post is going to be pretty morbid..

Today was not a good day. I couldn't sleep last night, kept waking up, and finally fell back into a nice sleep to wake up to my alarm just minutes later. I then had a feeling it was going to be a bad day, so I put on cute clothes sporting a bright blue polo and green sweater over top... Thanks but no thanks Ralph Lauren, my day still sucked.

I felt nautious and hot all day at school. I'm afraid of throwing up, so feeling nautious is like super bad for me.

Then, I was very eager to get home, so when I did, I put on PJs, and got in to bed. Well guess what visitor I had in my room?! A WASP! I was so not in the mood for that... so I got out of bed quick, then couldn't find it. So now I'm upstairs afraid to go back down, and all I wanna do is snuggle in my bed.

Just a few minutes ago when I was trying to tell Jess about what happened, I just started crying. Now, that was weird. I don't just do that for a not so important reason. I'm not on my period, I don't really know what's going on. I guess that all just happened, I'm tired, I've had a stuffy nose for the past month, and I'm starting to get overwhelmed with school work already... Anyways, just pray.

Oh Thrifting

Today was quite an adventure. I love different kind of days- days out of the norm. They are so fun. It all started out with spontaneously deciding to spend the night at the Kelly's last night around 12:30am. This morning, I woke up while everyone was already out the door, took a shower, and went to Target to buy some fresh undies (just being honest). I thought, oh its ok to leave the door unlocked, I'll just be gone 20 mins or so. Well, little did I know that the door locks from the inside... so needless to say, I locked myself out like a loser. Luckily, the Kelly's have a very comfy, quite impressive deck equipped with rocking chairs, a hot tub, and a flat screen TV, so I sat with a towel covering me and watched That 70's Show for 30 or so minutes while I waited for the fam.

After Mrs. Kelly so graciously let me back in, we went to a Flea Market with Annemarie, Amy, Bob, Kara, and Devin. It was sort of a bust, but definitely an adventure, so we then meandered over to Love of Jesus Thrift store (which I mistakingly called "Jesus Loves You" haha). On top of seeing a she-man, I bought a button up shirt, Lacoste rain jacket, and a DVD all for a grand total of $3.15!! After that we traveled over to the Flea Market by the Airport, and I bought a 16-piece legit teal and brown dish set for $10!!! Then, we ended at Diversity Thrift by the Diamond. It was a great time with great people! :) (Pictures to be eventually posted by Annemarie...hehehe).

After our day out, we came back to the Kelly's had pizza, and John and I took naps (babies).

Now, I am hanging out, playing Rock Band and such, with good friends.

And that was my day! Bye!
