Yes, I am pouting. I'm just not right, I tell ya! However much I pray, however much I think positive, the pouting just doesn't go away!
Things are crazy here, emotionally - physically, just plain crazy! The stress is taking its toll on me, but yet there is nothing that I can do to change it. It's out of my control, I know that much, but still how do you let it go.
Mark's hours were reduced at work. That probably plays the biggest part right now. The uncertainty of layoff, the what ifs are almost enough to drive a person to drink. Yeah I know, its not a layoff, but that is a pay reduction we just can't afford right now.
Finals week were last week. Sure I finished the semester with another 4.0, but I wasn't even really too excited about that. I'm getting burnt out, and it probably stems from the fact that my big Nursing Entrance Test is coming up and I am SCARED. This is the make or breaking point. This determines if I have just wasted $13,000 or not. Also, the stress from the above paragraph, who knows if I will continue. Right now our family's finances are most important and if I have to go back to work full time, I will.
Mark's Grandma was taken into the hospital this past week. Things were shaky and things still are. She has recovered from her surgery (which they still don't know the actual cause of illness), but this has left her just a little confused. I am hoping that this wears off soon.
I don't know why, but my life seems a mess right now. I'm ready for a change. I'm putting in my two week notice, if things don't change, well.....I don't know.....maybe I will just QUIT! Leaving and going to, hmmmmm, I don't know somewhere far and exotic sounds just about perfect to me right now! My very own deserted island!

Happy 6th Birthday, Rose Marie!
Today, was Rose's 6th Birthday! Wow these years are flying!
Friday we celebrated her birthday at school with all of her classmates and brought in mini blueberry muffins with a cream cheese frosting and blueberries on top. Yum Yum! It was wonderful to share in her day at school. Songs and wishes from all her teachers and friends made the day even more special!
On Friday evening she lost her first tooth. She couldn't of been more excited. She wants another one to come out, already. The tooth fairy brought her and very special "chapter" book and of course some money! I wonder if that is why she wants another one to fall out!
I'm speechless right now, probably because of the montage I just made....here you tell me what you think!!
I really need to start slowing down and smelling the coffee, I feel like I may start missing some thing....

Friends!
Last week, I had the pleasure of chaperoning Rose's Kindergarten class to the Detroit Opera House to see "If you give a Pig a Pancake". There was a total of fifty 5 and 6 year old on one bus! What an interesting journey. Who would have thought singing Jingle Bells in February would be so much fun!!
I was placed with 6 girls, of course, 6 of Rose's closest girlfriends! What a riot. The girls were great together; holding hands, hugging, laughing - just being generally concerned about each other (including me) while we were out.
I seriously considered changing my major. Elementary education was calling my name that day.
All in all this has been the day I have been looking forward to for many years now. What a joy! I can't wait to do it again!
Oh, and If you get a chance to see the performance of "If you give a Pig a Pancake" - do it! It was wonderful!
