So, it's 11:11pm on Sunday evening & I still have hours of work ahead of me. So rather than whine & complain, I decided to "take 5" and type up a quick entry and focus on a few little things that I am thankful for this evening.....
Let introduce you to my "Best Friend" this semester....well, I mean not BFF like my dearest "Jennicrust" but it sure has gotten me through the past few months! I *heart* Zipfizz Liquid Shots! This stuff puts those popular energy drinks to shame without all the yucky side effects! Love it! Oh & did I mention the one I just downed about 15 minutes ago..........
Next on my list is the one, the only Diet Coke!!!! Seriously, I love this stuff so much that if I was still in 8th grade I'd have "Stacy ♥'s Diet Coke" all over my notebooks! I don't care what anybody says, this stuff is the elixir of life! And it is excellent as a Zipfizz chaser (but only when I am working on a major project)!
Okay...I think this photo speaks for itself...enough said.....
So why am I up so late if you ask?? Well I am working on a major research paper for my Western Religion class. I have been working on this monsters for days now, but I just can't seem to get it 'wrapped up'....
Secondly I have to be logged into the University website at midnight to secure my classes for the fall. One of the 2 classes I NEED only has 15 slots....wish me luck!
Ya know, I was talking to my husband on the phone this evening & he was wonderfully supportive of how hard I am working right now. And while I was tempted to bask in his sympathy for a minute or 10, I forced myself to buck up.......
I told him I am grateful for the following:
~that I have the opportunity to go to school at all (I know there are so many women out there who will never have the opportunity)
~that he is so supportive of what I am doing (he has even turned a blind eye to the ever-mounting housework that needs done around here)
~ that I have an uber awesome Mom & BFF who are willing to help me out with the kiddos when I have class
~ lastly that overall I have the 'ability' to succeed in school. I know that sounds conceded...what I mean, compared to many of my classmates school comes fairly easy for me... note I said comparatively................
Okay...enough rambling...I guess my point is that I am trying to stay focused on the positive things right now. If I start to let the 'negative' creep in ,it can get out of control & well I just can't waste my time or energy on that garbage.....
Update: Score! I got all the classes I needed for Summer & Fall semesters!

On another note please keep the Smith family in your prayers. Angie's C-section is scheduled for 2pm Monday. I am amazed by this family's faith and their ability to trust in whatever God's plan is for baby Audrey.

Hooray for getting all your classes!
I should make a list like this. If you look at my blog you'll see why I need a PMA...
*sigh*
Great list, it's always good to look on the positive side. I forget sometimes so thanks for the reminder!
:-)
It's so hard to be positive sometimes..I struggle with it myself. Sounds like you are doing great!!
Your were a beuatiful little girl and you've grown into a gorgeous young lady, inside and out. Proud to say I'm your Mom!
Love you girl!
Ok, and you were "beautiful" too. (so the spelling may not be perfect but you get the meaning!)
Can we graduate now? I feel ya on these classes, my friend! AH!
Good work for getting all your classes.
Your post was very optimistic. I am only optimistic when I have a glass of good wine in my hand!!
I am a Diet Coke fanatic. When I run out I start to twitch and send hubby to Costco!!!!
