I AM Alive....

For those of you that have been missing me....I am still alive! I just don't have enough time to blog anymore and that makes me sad. =(

I started a new job a few weeks ago and it is VERY time consuming.....at one point I had worked nine days straight....and then on the tenth day, they called to see if I could cover for somebody....I had to turn them down....I could've used the hours but I was exhausted plus I had promised the kids to spend the day way them. The good news is that I actually like the job and I am getting enough hours to actually get some bills paid....some not all. ;)

The holidays have really snuck up on me this year. I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is in a few days....then Christmas will be here.....and on that note...I still don't know how I am going to pull off gifts for the kiddos....but it'll happen somehow right....it has to....they deserve to have a Christmas after the year they've been through. I am determined to not kill the Christmas spirit this year so I will break out the decorations and all that crap.....just don't know when the gifts will arrive under the tree.

I only have three more weeks of school for this semester.....so happy to see this one be over. Microeconomics has kicked my butt! Next semester I am switching to all my classes being online so that I don't have to travel to school and back. Right now there are some days that I leave the house at 7am, come home long enough to grab a bite to eat, then leave for work and get home about 10:30pm.....and on these days I only see the kids one time all day and that's when I wake them up in the morning. I don't like it so I am gonna try to fix it. =)

So....that's where I am at and where I have been.....life has been busy, hectic, and stressful but I am determinded to keep pushing through....
