Lazy Sunday

I'm having a laaaaaaazy day so far today! It's 11:15am and I am still in my jammies. I've been so busy this weekend working on school work and knitting. I'm working on fingerless mittens. I finished one and am just starting the 2nd one. They are so soft and I can't wait to wear them! Yesterday Tom, my older sister, Kerry, and I took my niece and nephew to see Enchanted. What a cute movie! My niece laughed the entire time - it was so funny. All of the kids in the movie theater seemed to love it.

I'm taking 2 classes this quarter - Educational Psychology and Math for Educators. I really am going to try hard to keep up with all of my work. Sometimes it gets overwhelming working full time and trying to keep up with homework. Even though it's only 2 classes it takes a lot of time. I spent hours yesterday just reading my textbooks.

Tom and I are totally broke. He gets paid in a few days and I am so ready for that. We have tons of medical bills since my miscarriage and they are really making the well run dry. We're just trying to get everything paid off while we're living with my parents so that we can eventually move out and get a house of our own (wherever that house might be).

We'll see what happens!

2008

Wooooo hooooo! First post of 2008. I haven't been as vigilant at keeping up with this blog as I wanted to be. I update it when I remember that it's here. My brother, Mike and my sister, Kerry and her kids are here visiting, so it's been hectic, but fun! We found out yesterday that my dad is having surgery next week some time, so that's a little bit of a stressor for me right now. I'm trying not to worry about it too much and know that I should be praying about it instead of worrying at all. Worrying is just not worth the energy, although I am the queen of concern.

I saw a Reproductive Endocrinologist on Monday. He was AWESOME...listened to my concerns and gave lots of feedback. I have to go in and have bloodwork done pretty soon, and hopefully it will show something that can be corrected. He suggested that I start seeing a counselor who specializes in pregnancy loss to help me cope and to help ease the panic that I know I'll feel when I get pregnant again. I am totally on board with that.

Work is going great - Shelly and I ended up in the kitchen today, which was an adventure, but made the day fly by at least. School starts back for me on Friday - eek! It's going to be hard to get used to the homework and projects again, but I haven't taken courses the past 2 quarters, so it's time to get back into the swing of things. Tom and I are also both trying to get healthier together (who isn't at this time of year?) and hope that it'll last for more than just a few weeks. I've started reading the Bible again, with a "Bible Reading Schedule" that I got through our church. Things around here are busy, but I can't complain too much about anything.
