I'm sure some of you thought I was never going to post again, for those of you who check in regularly, I'm sorry...I hope you didn't loose faith that I would be back. I just realized that Febuary is gone. Just like that a whole month of my life was gone in a blink. Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic, but it sure did feel like that. Somewhere along the line a few months ago I decided it would be a good idea to take a second job at the church working 2 nights a week in the nursery. I know what posessed me to do this...it was the extra money, of course. But I sure have learned a lesson about over-doing it. In my former life - B.C., "Before Children" when I needed extra money, I got an extra job. No big deal, I had all this time between 5pm and 11pm that would otherwise be spent getting into trouble or spending money. Now, however, I have two very young boys who's whole sanity relies on me sticking to a routine and schedule. So the 2 nights a week activities are out, and I'm going to stick to this for a while. I know as the boys get into sports and afterschool activities only one night a week will be impossible - but I hope as they get older maybe they'll adjust better.
I have to say that the job wasn't the only reason February was a crazy month. The whole family, me , Tom, TJ and Chris all got really sick. For three weeks we were all fighting cold, flu, sinus infections etc. Mom and Dad were in town thank goodness...because they helped a lot. But of course they were sick too. Then there was the vesectomy that went very wrong. I won't go into too much detail, mostly because I still couldn't explain to you exactly what went wrong. Let's just say what started out as a simple in-office procedure turned into a two-day ordeal that ended with Tom in the operating room. If that wasn't enough Tom has been suffering from a headache that won't go away. The month ended with a MRI of tom's brain. We were happy to know it was "clear"..... I asked if that meant there was no activity at all??? All is fine but we're still trying to pin-point the cause of the headache. I'll keep you updated.
The last few weeks have made me feel like my computer when I have too many windows open. My life is a series of windows, each with it's own program agenda it is trying to accomplish and with each task I ask it to do it runs slower and slower. I had so many thoughts and worries going through my brain I felt like I had "SYSTEM FAILURE" written acrossed my forehead flashing in neon. I have no other choice but to shut down and reboot. I will go to sleep tonight and wake in the morning to the first Monday of a brand new month with a new hope and attitude. March is going to be a great month! I need to start taking my walks again, stick to routine I have set for the kids whenever I can and find time to spend with Tom. The system will run fine until I start running too many programs again (as I always do) and then I'll reboot again. But for now...Good Night!

Does that mean that you quit your church job? And as I told our mother there is such a thing as TMI...ie Tom's little procedure. That is something a sister/sister-in-law doesn't need to know! shari
I didn't technically quit. The class only goes until the week of March 10th. When the next session of classes start I'll only do one class a week. Right now I'm doing 2 classes a week.....oh and at least I didn't go into details about Tom's procedure!
