Shame Shame is my name

I don't know what happened to me these past few weeks! I guess I just got super busy and couldn't keep up! School and two jobs keep me tied up all the time. I do love it all though. I have a lot coming up too. Surgery is next week...finally! Feels like it will never get here. A friend of Derick's passed away on Friday. He was only 40. It's so tragic to see such bad things happen to young people. My friend, Verena, from Germany will be here in just over a month. I'm trying frantically to get the extra room ready for her but finding time to do that is so hard with all that's going on. I think I'm going to have to start sleeping a little less at night to get everything done. Surprisingly I feel good though when I don't sleep a whole lot. Well I have a lot to get done today so I will try my best to check in tomorrow!

Add another to the list

of pregnant women I know. :`( (That's a crying symbol in case you can't tell). Here I sit day 37 of aunt flo and someone has to say they are pregnant. Can I please not get anymore announcements? I'm seriously on the verge of a mental breakdown. All my plans are going down the drain. I was hoping to be pregnant by now so that I'd have a summer baby and could start nursing classes in the fall. As of now I pretty much will have one chance remaining to have that summer baby and it's a very slim chance. I'm just trying not to go crazy. Right now about the only thing keeping me sane is my schoolwork, my wonderful husband and furbabies, and the fact that a good friend is coming for a long visit in November.

Fatigue

Being fatigued is no fun. I had so much planned for my long weekend and only did what absolutely had to be done and that wasn't much. I'm not sure if this is a sign of anemia or not but I need to start taking my iron pills to make sure I don't develop any problems. I've been getting a little dizzy from time to time. I only notice it when I go to stand or sit up. Mental note to self: Take iron pill and prenatal vitamin before bed tonight. I'm officially on day 36 of aunt flo. She has gotten a lot heavier compared to the daily spotting so I'm hoping she is going to finally make her grand finale exit in the next few days. If she is still here on Friday I have to call the doc and see if there's anyway to stop it. I am beyond tired of her.

I'm glad I got ahead on my schoolwork because I did none last week. I've got to get ahead again so I don't fall behind. Second mental note to self: Get some rest tonight and catch up on AP/ITE tomorrow night.

I really wish I wasn't working both jobs but I love the extra money to get bills caught up. I just wish they would let me waitress more. I don't mind the salad bar some nights but it's just getting old to me now. I have to work the bar tonight and I'm absolutely dreading it. I also like the immediate cash from waitressing. I'm certainly not raking in the dough but the extra $75-$120 a week is nice. It'd be more if I could get more hours doing it! I'd whine to management about it but my brother does the scheduling and I don't want to whine to him because I'm going to be needing days off coming up for school and my surgery so I want to stay on his good side for that.

Time for a new look

I've needed a haircut for some time now. Problem is I can't find a hairstylist. I had one a few years ago and loved him but when money got tight I gave up that luxury. I'd love to go back to him but it takes 2 months to get an appointment and I don't want to go back and then have to stop unexpectedly. So I need ideas on a new "do" and can never decide. I love the idea of my hair being longer. I wish it would grow overnight. If I had the money I would probably get extensions put in! I just want something fun and creative. I'm tired of going to the mall and just getting some kid out of school to cut my hair. They are not creative and only know the popular style. I need a good salon but then that jacks the price up. Guess I can't have it both ways. I am looking at the website of the salon that did my wedding day hair and am loving it! I wish I could do so many things like a massage, pedicure, manicure, haircute, the whole nine yards. I think I need to ask for this for my birthday since it's coming up so soon! Ok so I just booked an appointment for Tuesday after class...I'm so anxious now!

So some life updates are that aunt flo is still here. I believe this is day 30. I am starting to lose track since it's been so long. I need to start taking my iron tablets so that I don't become anemic. I haven't been feeling dizzy or lightheaded except one or two times. Better not risk it. I wish October 5th would hurry up and get here. I just want to get the surgery over with and get some answers. You would think that I'd be patient after all this waiting the past 3 years but I think my patience is getting worse.
