I'm still alive, I promise....

I really am still alive, although you wouldn't know it by this blog. I am in survival mode --
- trying to finish my last semester of school
- starting to study for my NCLEX exam
- working at the hospital
- prepping for my summer of road races
- thinking about participating in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day this summer
- trying to keep up with chores around the house
- applying for entrance into BSN programs
- trying to be a good Mom and wife

When I get through all this, I'll be back....I promise!

Just Surviving...

So I know I haven't written in almost two weeks, but a lot is going on and I am in survival mode! I don't think I can do one more thing if I tried -- so I am sorry my dear blog... I promise that from here on out I will try my hardest to write daily, well maybe weekly, actually monthly, Oh I don't know.... I'll write when I can!

For know here is a run down of of what has been going on the past few weeks...
-> School Started -- so I have survived my first few weeks of school. It has been going alright, I am still a little overwhelmed but I am hoping that that will pass soon.
-> I have been in touch with one of my sisters. Jessica and I have been swapping e-mails back and forth. It was the highlight of my year to hear from here and to get back into contact with her!
-> I have been working. I love my job, it is so much fun to work with Student Activities, and since it is the begining of the semester we have had a few activities for the students that have been a great success.
-> I have a new title at work. I have been named the Presidential Student Ambassador Student Coordinator for the PSA program at school. I am excited to be working with the program since I had a great time as a PSA.
-> I have also joined the Student Senate. I wasn't going to but I miss being involved in student government and there are some issued on campus that I would like to be involved in addressing.
-> We are trying to buy another car. Now normally I wouldn't think that this would be a big deal, but since the banking industry has gone down the tubes over the past few weeks, buying a new car has become an interesting and frusteratingly long process -- with any luck this will be completed this comming week.
-> I also have a couple of friends getting married in the next 2 weeks so I have had to try and find outfits to wear to the weddings -- and let's just say that shopping is not necessarily my favorite thing to do!
-> Homework.....I know I already talked about school, but I feel that homework needs its own category! I have had no less than 300-400 pages of reading to do each week along with other assignments for my nursing class. I am not used to having THIS much work -- so it has been a big adjustment.
-> And let's not forget that I am a Mom and I have 3 kids that need attention also!

So, it has been busy. I am trying to handle all of this as best I can! I will try to keep the blog updated as best I can, but I make no promises!
