Well the time is almost near......

This is a bitter sweat feeling......
I am done with school a week ahead of schedule. All I have to do is turn in my paper and that's all folks lol.
I have been plugging away at my BS in CJ for 18 months. No Summer vacation just school. Now what do I do?
I am not sure what it is like to not have to worry about getting all of my school work done for the week.
I love being in school as funny as it sound but when I am not doing school work I feel like I am getting dumber by the minute.
I would always start the semester ahead of schedule, always had my homework done by Wednesday's, and wait until the last minute to bang out ridiculous amount of pages for papers. That was my specialty. Last semester I finished a 22 page paper in 2 days and yes I got a good grade on it.
So what's next?????
Well I am going to take a break from school and then get ready to work on my Masters in Drug and Alcohol Counseling. I want to be a Probation officer and by golly that is what I will do.

So now I guess I have more time to read actually books again rather than school books and playing Candy Crush (which I loth) in my spare time.

Well now off to spend some QT time with my hubby :)

Happy Valentines Day & Happy Anniversary to me and my future hubby

I Love Love Love Valentines Day! 


Call me cliché, sappy, a mush, or whatever you have it but I am a sucker for Love! However today also marks another special day for me as it is Jeremiah’s and mine 6th year anniversary!!!!

It has been amazing to be with someone this long and not be married yet. But that day will come soon enough. I never wanted to get married, I mean I have had 2 children and never married their fathers.

This is something different. We have a connection that is unexplainable. Besides my children he makes me laugh everyday and is there for me when I am sad, he is there to pick me up when I have fallen and hurt myself for the umpteenth million time and we are able to laugh about me hurting myself constantly.

Now I am not saying our relationship is perfect (well I am lol) it is far from perfect as our relationship has its roller coaster ride however we balance each other out. When I am stressed out he is there to calm me down, and when he is stressed out I am there to make fun of him lol.

In all seriousness I can say that I am truly happy and it is because of him. My kids make me happy however they will leave at some point. I can't wait for the day that I marry my best friend and one and only true love. You know you have found your one and only true love and it took me a very long time to find mine but I wouldn't give him up for anything.

Zumba Zumba Zumba

I know I am sounding annoying when I talk all this nonsense about Zumba but let me just tell you how much I am digging it!

Totally digging it!!

I tried a class once but I felt like a total fish out of water and looked like a fool. So I stuck to what I knew..Insanity. I have talked about it before and it is a magnificent program that does work if you stick with it and it had worked for me. I watched it tone up my spare tire (my extra luv handles). I was losing weight until I decided that I would rather have the extra helping at dinner or the Elmer Fudge cookies were much better for me than carrots. Seemed logical right...Yeah don't we all wish. Shoot I can't even think of candy anymore without gaining 5 pounds on my ass.

So as I was finishing my 3 round of Insanity I caught an infomercial and seen this Zumba Exhilarate DVD set. So I said what the heck I'll give it a shot...Am I ever glad I did!!! I sweat more doing Zumba than Insanity and I have way more fun doing Zumba than Insanity. Insanity made me push myself to the max which made me feel powerful and then when it was nice out after the workout I would go for a mile run just to give myself that extra bit.

With Zumba it is making me feel happy, sexy, and it is fun. I am sure if someone was watching I sure wouldn't look sexy lol. I love to dance and shake my ass! Yes I may be white girl but I can shake it bahaha. This girl knows how to have a good time and still be classy.

I am so stoked to have 1 month left of school and I will be done! Yeah Buddy!! :)
I have worked my ass off for this and hopefully I will apply this degree as my last degree I didn't apply it to the work force.

Every day that passes seems like it is passing quicker than the last. Not sure what the deal is with that except that I am excited for spring. I am a little depressed that I didn't go boarding once this season but I can't stand barding on just man made snow without a nice base of real snow. See here is the thing I have mastered the art of falling....a..lot.. so I need the ground to be forgiving and with just a 2" base isn't going to protect my previously broken and bruised tailbone. So here is to Spring and Summer to warm my skin and make me smile.

There is one thing that is totally amazing to witness every morning (that isn't raining).... is the sun rise. My work has such a beautiful view of the sun rise.

Isn't it amazing?? It doesn't do it justice as the colors are so radiant.

Life is a blur

I don't want to say that life seems to be turning into Groundhogs day but it seems that life is just passing by so quickly. Each Sunday I find myself saying, "Wow the weekend is gone already?"

I have also found that my life seems to be a routine, get up, eat breakfast, go to work, come home, workout, make dinner, shower go to bed, and wake up do it all over again.

I have also found myself stressing out a bit more lately and I am not sure if that is just because this year is filled with all sorts of stuff that is going to be happening, it seems this is the year that many of my friends and family are having babies, weddings, and graduations (including my own).

Sometimes I feel like a robot that just keeps going and going, oh and don't get me started on how I do laundry every day and yet I still can't get a head of it.

So today Jeremiah and myself spent the day cleaning together...SHOCKER!! that has never happened but today he cleaned the wooden blinds, he did the laundry, and ran the dishwasher, while I cleaned the rest of the house. It felt good to have help cleaning the house, which usually takes me all day doing by myself.

One thing that I am glad I didn't do this year was buy a season pass to go boarding like we did last year. We have had hardly any snow this winter and last winter. It is almost February and most of my yard is green. But living in New England they have a saying "If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change." Isn't that for sure since the highs have only been in the 20's by Wednesday it is suppose to be 50! Wait!!...What the What?!?!

I don't mind all this weather change as long as I have a nice hot summer. I hate the cold.. This coming from someone who spent 20 years living in Northern New York, but I very much dislike the cold. I don't like having to wear so many layers that i feel confined in my own clothing. I love the hot and humid summers where you just sit and don't have to move and your already sweating. Oh and we don't have nor use A/C. Yup you heard right. Can't stand the smell of it nor the noise that it makes.

So here's to a new work week hopefully uneventful...


~Peace Out~

Forgot about blogging

Life has been wonderful lately. School is going well and so is work since dropping the 3rd job. Not sure how or why I thought I could pull all of it off but I did for 4 months. I have a lot to look forward to at the current time, my 6th year anniversary, my only daughter is turning 12, and graduating. I have decided that once I get into probation/parole I will return to school for my masters. I hope that my plans all fall into place when I need it too. I have learned though to plan for the worst instead of stressing out for the worst. This weekend has been jam packed with lots of family time which has been fun because I decided to have none of the kids friends over for once, even though Lexi left to go to a friends house last night, it was still fun for us. This weather has been out of control this year and I am glad that I didn't make the mistake of buying another snowboarding pass. We made that mistake last year and had a crapy season, so it seems that this year is nothing different. I really enjoyed the first year boarding lots of powder! I like boarding on powder then the artificial snow, and I do not like boarding the corduroy because my board slips right from under me when I use my heal edge.
I would love to hit the slopes this year just once but with the weather the way it is that may not happen.
Well goodnight all

So far good

Things have been good with school so far but I am assuming that things will change with that since it is my last class but since it is my only class I should have plenty of time getting every thing done.
Now with the rest of my life has been a little stressful, I did drop one job so I would have one less thing to stress me out.
So I have become addicted to Pinterest!! :P
I have had am account for a while but I have been all l about finding great food recipes and other wonderful treats. Now don't let me fool you, I can't cook anything that doesn't come from a box lol. I took culinary arts in high school and taught cooking class at my last job however I am not good at making anything from scratch. I choose recipes that seem idiot proof.

Well that's all I've got for now as I am chillaxing for the evening with my kiddos.

~Peace Out~

Wonderful start to the new year

Well this weekend has ben the best one of the year! We had a wonderful weekend with the kids. Logan was a little sad that his friend didn't get to spend the night but since it is the beginning of the year he has plenty of time to have friends over.
So tomorrow begins my last and final class!
I am beyond happy for it to be done and over. It has been a lot of hard work. I aimed for a 3.5 and I had a 3.67 was accepted into the Alpha Phi Sigma National Criminal Justice Honor Society. Of coarse now my GPA dropped thanks to Statistics so i now have a 3.47. I plan to end this last class with a 3.5 GPA.

So I probably wont be around for a bit as I need to put all of my time and effort into school so that I can finish with an A.

So I need to focus on school and working out. I finished week 4 in Insanity. This next week is going to be similar to doing yoga as it focuses a lot on your core. So far this week alone I have lost 3 lbs. It sounds wonderful doesn't it? Except for the past few weeks I have been yo-yoing between loosing and gaining because I can't seem to control my eating week to week. I do good one week then sabotage it the following week. I don't know why I don't it I know that eating 4 cookies, candy, and ice cream is not good for my diet but I don't seem to have any self control. Then I hate myself after I have ruined my diet for the week. I know some people have to indulge once a week but not every day like I did the week before. I have learned that event though I am eating a fruit mid-morning it still has calories and extra sugar but in my mind it is fruit and that makes it healthy.
I think that when I have things to focus on that I eat better. It is when I have nothing to do that is when I excessively eat. But again I am on a mission to loose weight so I look good at graduation.

So here is too the new year and finishing school!!! I hope to try and get on here as much as possible.
