Time flies...

Wow, I cannot believe it has been almost 3 years exactly since my last entry. So much has happend, and I don't know why I stopped blogging. It really is therapeutic. Speaking of therapy...YEP I'm going now. Another thing that I CANNOT believe took me so long to do. It is so freeing to pour out all my thoughts and feelings to an impartial person. Although my phone calls with Perri are just as freeing and her advice is very similar to my therapist.

Speaking of Perri - where oh where would I be without her. She is such a terrific friend! She is smart, funny, so full of life and always there when I need her. She just turned the big 50, so we went to Atlantic City to celebrate. Kara came with and it was a good trip. It did reconfirm that Eleuthera shall remain a "two-some".

Eleuthera...this will be our fourth trip!! We are heading out May 9th and will return on the 22nd. Can't wait! We always have so much fun...mostly doing alot of nothing...LOL!! No, we are busy - snorkeling, shelling, shelling, snorkeling, um yeah did I mention shelling??? We have now moved up the coast to Gregorytown and found a great place to stay.

Dorrell is our ever present bff in Eleuthera. He picks us up from the airport every year without fail, and rents us a car. I never thought I would say this, but Thank God for that DOG ATTACK in 2008...LOL

Well, that's it for not, I am going to try to be more consistent with my blogging as I do find it fun as well as a good outlet for one's feelings.

Where does the time go????

I can't believe it has been almost 3 WEEKS since we've been home from Eleuthera!! It feels like just yesterday I made the mad dash at 1 a.m. to pick up Perri for the start of our journey! I had such a great time this year in Eleuthera. We met lots of new people, found the night-life in Eleuthera (yes, nightlife!), and had a relaxing time. Being with Perri for 9 days just reconfirmed what a great friendship we have and how much I truly think of her as my big sis!! She is so much fun to be around and the two of us together....FUGITABOUTIT!!!! LOL

Got lots of attention while there, that was a big confidence booster! Did feel bad though, 'cause people kept asking if Perri was my mom. I SO DON'T think she looks old enough to be my mom. I hope that doesn't deter her from going places with me. I LOVE her youthful spirit and I think she's beautiful! She may not have felt it was a compliment, but on the upside...I would be proud to be her daughter!!

OMG...and who BUT Perri could get our rental that we promised not to "drive in the sand", off the grassy cliff that I managed to wedge us on with the back rear tire completely off the ground and the front bumper nearly buried in sand!! She told me to MOVE! and she floored that bad-boy - door open and all! The car lurched forward, sand went flying, the was door swinging...but she got it out of the hole I managed to get us in. The two of us sat there laughing so hard, I thought we were going to be our pants!!!

Vacation was great, but now I'm home and back to reality. I'm so cornfused right now...life has thrown some tings at me that I just don't want to deal with. I keep telling Perri I'm having a mid-life crisis, but she assures me I'm too young...(Are you sure???) 'Cause I really think I want to go buy a two-seater and drive off into the sunset...

Maybe not that drastic...but I am just not sure about alot of things. I'm torn between being in school and being at home, being at work and being at home, being in a relationship and not being in one, Oye Vay!! It's enough to drive a person crazy.

I didn't call home much while I was in Eleuthera and it didn't really bother me...not sure if that is a good or bad thing. The house was not as bad as I expected, but certainly not the way it was when I left. Lauren had terrible allergies while I was gone, that luckily mom and dad took care of. Thank goodness they are so close!!

I'm just about finished with this semester. Managed to get an A in English, Student Development and Trial Practice thus far. Still awaiting my Philosophy grade...fingers crossed for a A!

Counting down the days

What a week this has been! I did make good on my promise to clean the house...spent the entire weekend doing it! Needless to say I have been the "you better keep the house clean" nazi all week. I got my hair cut, not sure about that...I think I like it. I weighed in...am down 20 lbs!!! Very excited about that :-) Except for the fact that I have to safety pin my work pants so they don't fall down...guess I will need to go shopping at some point. Work has been so so crazy!!
Finally closed the big deal we have been working on!!

I'm counting down the days to Eleuthera...18 to go. What should I pack? Capris, shorts, swimsuits, how many of each....oh man, packing is the MOST stressful part of vacation. OMG...I haven't been tanning nearly as much as I did last year, hope I don't burn. Guess I better call sometime next week to confirm our arrival at the airport...don't want to walk from GHB to Rainbow Bay. So much to do and so little time....

Holy Hell...I almost forgot my most important thing this week...my academic renewal was granted so I will graduate Summa Cum Laude!!! I am beyond happy about that...hopefully I will have all my special peeps at graduation next May...(when we get back from Eleuthera of course! OR before we go...lol)

Why...

I am so annoyed with my DH right now!! What the fuck does he do all day when he's off?? Laundry doesn't wash itself, groceries don't magically appear and shoes cannot walk themselves back to the closet. Why can't he get that through his thick head? UGH!!!

I was informed that it's my job to keep the house clean and that I let it get out of control!!??!! Wah, waht????? Well, I've got news for you buddy...tomorrow I am going to do MY job and clean OUR house...yep and anything that is out of place (that belongs to you or the children) is going in the T R A S H...I'm not asking questions, I'm just putting shit in a trash bag and taking it to the curb!!

Not only am I blessed to have a mule for a hubby...(and not the good kind of mule either!), but I had to forgo my daughters field trip this morning because of work. So, I should probably start working on my acceptance speech for the "WORST Mother of the Year" award. I felt awful and she was crying...I tried to console her to no avail. Finally I told her to just "get a grip", there will be other field trips...YEP, definitely think I will be the leading nominee this year...

I'm a horrible mom...why on earth was I given the responsibility to care for two children?? Between work and school I feel like I have failed them...I have slacked on helping Lauren with homework, checking Wesley's homework, chaperoning field trips, hell sometimes I can't even manage to make dinner...OMG...Calgon take me away!!!!!!!!!!!!

The countdown is on to Eleuthera...26 days (and counting...daily...hourly...by the minute!!)

Went tanning on Monday, must have miscommunicated with girl behind the counter 'cause my bed was set for 15 minutes...keep in mind that was only the fourth visit...ummmm yeahhhh...my ass, thighs and belly were crispy fried! But, I went tanning again today and everything is all good, except for the fact that my ass checks itch like hell (dry skin from the burn!) Hey, at least my boobies didn't burn!

I'm going, going back, back to....Eleuthera

I know the song title works better for the original song...but oh well! I just want the WHOLE world to know that I'm going to Eluthera, I'm going on vacation, I'm going with my bestest friend, I'm going and you're not...nanny nanny boo boo!!!

I think I bugged the hell out of Perri and obsessed so much over plane tickets that she booked us the other night so I would "shut the fuck up already"!! LOL We got a good deal and the best part is we arrive in Eleuthera at 12:45...YEAH BABY! So now I will spend the next 39 days obsessing over tanning and what to pack :-)

All is quiet on the homefront, kinda. W got himself into some trouble, but that's not made for cyberspace! Suffice it to say, that I think it has worked out for the best and he's learned a valuable life lesson.

Princess had gymnastics last night; she's doing good. I finally remembered to take the camera, so I will have to post the pics later.

Work sucks (not really), I'm trying to lose weight...have to weigh in tomorrow and I think I gained a pound or two since two weeks ago. OOPS!! I forgot indulging in Calamari, pomegranate martinis and chocolate make you gain not LOSE. Oh well, I'm still going to be in Eleuthera...fat or skinny!!

ENGLISH 111 was HELL, but I should have an "A", grades will be posted soon. My teacher told me I am a very talented writer...uh, was she reading MY papers?!! LOL
