Feeling it!!

OK so whoever thought that being a wife, a boss and a college student all at the same time was a good idea...is crazy!I am totally starting to feel the effects of trying to do all 3. I became the director of a daycare here in Stillwater in November. I am an ECE( Early Childhood Education) Major and trying to figure out where that degree will take me. I thought sure why not try a director and see if you like it. The daycare is small(only licenced for 42) so I thought...ah what the hey! It can't be that hard. HA!! Every day is a new challenge. I feel like I am pulled in 8 different directions every day. Not to mention keeping 42 kids and PARENTS happy. There is ALWAYS someone that calls in(almost daily) but since we are so small we do not have extra staff, so it makes it hard on everyone. Last week I had 2 teachers call in on the same day. I seriously left for class crying because my stress level was through the roof. I sometimes LOVE my job and other days I just want to give it all up.
Then there is school. I am at "big girl" school now and IT SUCKS!! I went to a smaller college up until now and this semester transferred to OSU. At my old school you had really small classes where the professor knows your name(and their always glad you came... ha ha that song popped into my head!) and you are actually a student. Now I am one of 65 in one class and NO ONE cares if you come to class or not and I feel completely lost! Not to mention even the homework is a lot tougher. A girl in my class said " You survived your husband in Iraq and you are worried about surviving this class?" I said yes! Iraq was not easy but I had my girlfriends! I have no on here to help me.:0) I would sometimes take Iraq again over statistics and child theory.
I am basically writing this letter as a stress reliever. I need to vent for a minute and clear my head. Just a lot to take in right now.

On one VERY HAPPY NOTE..... I am gonna be an aunt!!!:0) My brother and his wife are expecting their first one in the Fall!!!!! My mom is SUPER happy...it's the first Grand baby for her!:0) Maybe their second can grow up with our first;0)

Have a great week!! *HUGS*

Still alive!

I am still here! I am SO busy with work and school I literally DO NOT have any time to come on here! To catch you up... I just celebrated 6 year anniversary on the 8th... caught a HORRIBLE stomach virus on the 7th and was sick up until yesterday(13th) with it. YEAH...pretty awful stuff. We went out last night for a Valentines? Anniversary present since I was sick on my anniversary. I got Wii Fit for my anniversary. LOVE IT!! More on that later! I guess there is one blessing to the stomach virus...the Wii and the scale both said I am 10 pounds lighter!:0)HAPPY VALETINE'S DAY TO ALL!! Or as we call is Shmalentine's Day. (we incorporate our cat Shmegdwarf into all holidays) I know cheesy...but we love him...a lot!
Oh yeah going to Indianapolis next month for spring break. E and whoever else...what do we need to see/ do there??!!
