More Random Things...

I decided that my last post was quite a nice way to get out all of my thoughts so I figured I would try it again, granted it probably won't be 25, but we'll see.

1. Baseball season starts soon. Ha! I pretend to hate baseball, well I did for a long time. I hated that it made hubby and I live 4+ hours apart for 2 years, I hated that it was, and still is, the reason that hubby has to do more school, I just hated it. Now, well now, I kinda am starting to soften. I'm still not thrilled at the possibility of CW or Z being involved with it, because I saw the trouble it caused, but I'm getting there. Maybe in a couple of years...

2. My mother says I am lamenting on being 'homeless' We sold our house 3 weeks ago, and yet we still haven't bought one. But we found it! It's funny, I love this house but it scares the hell out of me. There is so incredibly much work to be done and I am scared of the possibility. But I love the house. And so does hubby.

3. This house is testing several of my previous random things because a) it scares me that we will fail to make it amazing, b) dad can't just say he likes it, though I swear he does because of his comments, but again I need approval darn it, c) it is big, bad, and scary--but totally worth it if we can pull it out.

4. "Gotta meet the hottie with the million dollar body...." I love NICKELBACK

5. We have 4 weekends, 5 weeks, to get this house packed and I'm gone 3 of them. Yeah that's going to happen.

6. Somehow, not sure how, I managed to pull a B- in my class that I flaked on. I was positive that I was going to be repeating it....

7. I'm really kinda irritated with the agent who is helping us buy a house because we wanted to put a bid in on Friday and he didn't have time til tomorrow--if it sells, I swear they are going to hear me in New York.

8. oooo Tide is on sale at Costco...haha I lead such a boring life.

9. The college is having a job fair for all of us with Masters so they can say they try to make us gainfully employed. I think it is a waste of time but I am going to look anyway because I would love to use my degree.

10. It is 12:29 and I'm not tired.

Okay that's it. off to figure out what I have to do for class this week. muah!

25 random things

I would totally tag somone for this but I stole it off facebook--mainly because I couldn't make my facebook work to post it there...BUT normallly---Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you

1. I love rain (this is probably number one because it is currently raining) I love nights like tonight where it is a slightly cool rain with a nice breeze that just makes you forget all of your worries.

2. Speaking of worries, I worry a LOT. Everything should be planned, surprises are the bane of my existance, and I think every little detail should be accounted for.

3. I hate Dumb and Dumber--if I could figure out how to trash it without Justin noticing I probably would--hmm maybe during this move?

4. My greatest fear is that I'm going to fail...I'm scared to fail, and that makes this balancing act even harder

5. Watch CW learn is the greatest joy I have ever experienced. It is a complete wonder just to see the true "awe-ha" look in her eyes.

6. Z sat up today...by himself...where did my baby go??

7. I love margaritas, wine, and an occasional beer.

8. Hubby and I fight. I always had this idealized view that in a marriage you didn't fight (and don't ask where I get this from, if you know the fam you will ask what the hell are you thinking, you guys can't go five minutes without fighting) but we fight and argue and still love each other.

9. I'm scared to move--this is the first house we bought when we got married, this is where both of kids came home from the hospital. I make hate this house, but I can't even begin to forget the memories.

10. crap i'm tearing up--i do that a lot lately

11. as much as my father pisses me off, which is more often than not, I can not truly begin to tell him or my mom how much they mean to me

12. getting a masters is hard---which is saying a lot because school usually came pretty easy, or at least easy enough that I could pass without trying too incredibly hard

13. I'm worried about hubby's little brother. I worry that he will fall into the same issue that hubby did with going to school to play ball and not realizing the full impact of the academic decisions. I hope that he has seen how hard this was on his brother, but I'm not sure he does

14. I have the three laziest dogs ever.

15. my mind races all the time, it is always something, and most of the time the only one who understands is hubby

16. i love baths, nice hot baths, not the luke warm ones I take with cw before bed to get her to relax

17. i complain occasionally (okay sometimes more than occasionally) that cw is stubborn and headstrong, but then I realize that she is just like me. boy is that a hard pill to swallow

18. i like red toe nail polish but french tips on the fingers

19. i use to want to teach college but honestly now I would just be happy to use my degree. and not in a 'well you have an mba, here is a token job to make you happy". Is it crazy that I actually think it might be fun to run a hospital

20. there are some days that I wonder if I shouldn't have thought a little more about medical school

21. I wish I would have left. Again another hard pill to swallow (probably worse for my mom) but lately I have been rehashing why we didn't leave when we had the chance. Hubby actually suggested texas not to long ago and I thought it sounded like a blast. If I could make 19 work, then I think moving wouldn't be as scary. I just can't do it now because I can't bear the thought of taking CW and Z away from the people who love them the most.

22. I'm 25 years old and it scares the crap out of me because I thought things would be a lot different when I hit 25.

23. I need to start running again, lately I haven't because the kids/me/hubby (in any combo) have been sick, but I need the stress relief I have come to realize

24. As much as I swear I don't, I actually like other peoples approval

25. I am actually beginning to like Sid the Science kid.
