A while since I have been here

Wow it has been awhile since I blogged.  My life is utter chaos right now and I am trying really hard to maintain my sanity.  As most of you know, I am enrolled in a paramedic program for the next two semesters.  On top of that I am working pretty much full time hours and raising 3 boys.  This week I went and did the unthinkable....I got sick.  Severe bronchitis with a touch of pneumonia.  THAT WAS NOT FUN.  I couldn't breathe, I couldn't sleep and the meds they gave helped neither right away.  Now for any mom to get sick means family crisis. But when you are a student, a working mom and a mother of multiples, getting sick is a crime.  Though my hubby did take off work one day to care for me, which helped out tremendously, I am now two classes behind in PHTLS which means I will probably not get that certification.  That disappoints me more than anything right now, as I wanted to do this and do it all.  I am trying really hard to keep my chin up and let God lead me through these obstacles, but it gets so hard sometimes.  Like tonight, when I find out we have to pay $400 more dollars on our new roof and we don't really have that.  Or yesterday, when I had to miss class because I was working and got a call that kept me at the hospital for over an hour and half.  Patience is not a virtue I possess, though I really need to be working on that one.  Resilience is something I hope to have, but sometimes I feel like that isn't part of me either.  Well, I will push through and hope that something is shining at the end of this tunnel....right now all I hear is screaming.

Technology and my life

How many of us out there rely on our smartphones for everything?  I know I do.  I didn’t think I did until my BB crapped out and I lost everything.  So I got a new phone (a droid)  and thought, “nothing will beat my BB”  I was wrong.  Not only is it faster and Google powered,  but I can blog from it.  This just made my blogging and my life easier.  So how much do you rely on your technology? 

Hello Blogging World!

Blogging.  Everybody does it these days, so I thought, why not?  Now that I am here, maybe I should have slowed down my thinking process a little.  This might actually be a good outlet for me, though.  Here I sit, in a town of people I don't really know, with a husband I adore (even if he works all the time :P), and three rambunctious, loud, and very needy little boys.  I love my kids....most days. :)  I have a wonderful 10 year old, who I would go crazy without some days, because of the twins!  That's right, twins.  And twin boys for that matter!  Two little terrors.  Polar opposites, and different directions at every turn.  Right now we are learning to climb.....on EVERYTHING.  Even the dog, who is also a boy, is getting attacked these days.  On days like today I need a very LARGE glass of wine, a hot bath, a good book and a very quiet room.  Or at least a girl's night out!  But that ain't happening!  Because the summer is almost here, which means, basebll season for the 10 year old and more school for Momma and I have just got too much to do.  So I am taking the time to sit at the computer and type this.  I totally have my priorities straight.  One day, I am going to invent a machine that will allow me to pause the children so I can take 30 minutes off. Of course by then, I will be pausing the great-grandkids.  Ah...the sound of screaming and squealing beckons, along with a ten year hollering "Mom, they are attacking me".  Guess I better go rescue him!  They say the pitter-patter of little feet is the sweetest sound....I think some days it's the scariest!  Til tommorrow!!
