Still feeling like hammered ass!!!!

I don't think I've ever been sick this long in my life. Seriously with the exception of being pregnant I've never gone this long where I felt like I just wanted to crawl in a hole and not come out til everything was over. I went from one kind of cough/cold issue to another. First it was some kind of bronchial chest congestion mess and now I have a head cold with cough that I just can't seem to shake and its been a month or more. Josh is finally comfortable and I think Eric is also to the point where he's not totally miserable and constantly sneezing and coughing. I'm the only one with the inability to sleep now. So that is totally great!!! Just makes me crazy and cranky. I would really really really really LOVE to be sound asleep right now but no such luck. I've been up about an hour. I figure it's a really good thing that I went to bed early last night. Not that I slept all that great but still at least I tried to make up for all the nights I've been staying up way too late over the last several weeks. Eric hasn't been too happy with going to bed here at his grandparents house. He's not a fan. These are the times I really wish we were back home where Eric has all his own stuff. He may not take naps in the afternoon any more but at least he sleeps 13 hours straight at night and doesn't fuss nearly as much when I put him down. For two nights in a row now he's managed to throw the most unholy fit at bed time.

God please be with us in allowing this possible house purchase to go through without drama and road bocks. At this point it would be nice to have space for everyone and not have Eric in a room with us when we visit the inlaws. From the sounds of this house we'd have enough room for everyone and a room to spare for any additional children and we'd even be able to have a separate library/office.

Time just marches on....

Josh and I are seriously discussing/contemplating buying a house in our current location. We are still waiting on orders and such to come through but he won't get anything until the new fiscal year starts. Guess we shall see what happens with that supposedly the new place is looking at the posibility of shifting location as well so he might have to geo bach for a while if we buy a house. Things are just nuts but at least we have an investment and we have stability once he's out he can go to school and we won't be renting/throwing our money away on living expenses. I'm so excited about all of this that I'm afraid I might jinx myself. School seems to be going really well right now also, for both of us. Josh is still hard charging and he's taken enough sociology classes to actually have sociology as a minor along with his major. How great is that. The class I'm currently taking seems to be going well. Right now after three weeks my cumulative grade for the class is a 93 so I'm a happy girl. If I can keep this up for the rest of the class my over all GPA will hopefully go up a couple of tenths of a point and I'll maybe even be at a 3.5 GPA but who knows. Just gotta keep plugging away at things. At this point I have nothing to be really profound about. I'm just taking things one day at a time and trying not to stress out.

Just too Peachy Keen

So thanks to my friend Carmen I've been inspired to blog about life in general. Let's see where to begin. Home life is great. My happy pills are keeping Josh and I on an even keel. I'm not as blah about stuff in general any more and I have energy to keep up with my lil guy so this is good. I'm still procrastinating about doing school work but at least when I finally get to it I'm able to focus on what I need to do. I've been living on Facebook lately and reconnecting with family that is oh so far away. I've also gotten in touch with friends from my childhood whom I haven't seen or spoken to in over 20 years. It's amazing who I remember from my past and who remembers me and why. As for my parents and my sister they all seem to be holding their own. My dad is going through a lot of medical stuff right now and I am doing my best to stay optimisitic about it all. He's been having some recurring health issues and he recently had a major throat infection that put him in the ER and on an IV Abs drip for several hours. Talk about scaring a few more gray hairs on to my scalp. School is holding steady I'm still at a B average and currently taking Religion and Culture. For now I'm three weeks in to the class and so far I've got an A in the class. We'll see by next weekend what my grade is like. Thankfully no really lengthy papers and such every couple of weeks for this one. I do however have weekly journal entries I have to make in order to complete a final project. Another one of the projects that I'll have to complete for this class is to interview a friend or family member about their spiritual path. I've already asked my FIL if he would mind me interviewing him and he actually sat and wrote out to me in an email about his spiritual quest. Let me tell you he's a great story teller and he had quite a story to tell. Info on Eric, he's getting big!!! He's 17 months and such a little monkey. He's gotten so many things figured out. He's figured out that he can grab his shoes and my hand and lead me to the door when he wants to go out of the house. Lately that is his biggest thing. He's not really talking yet but I think within the next six months or so I won't be able to stop him. He knows where his Nose is on his face he knows what his shoes are and he knows the words come on lets go out the door. He also knows that when I get him fully dressed and this includes socks and shoes that we are getting ready to leave the house and if I stop to do anything else after I've gotten him ready to go then he gets very impatient and whiney. In other words I better have my crap ready to go once I get him dressed. So far life is grand I just couldn't ask for anything better. Oh yeah Josh says he's glad about my happy pills now all I need are some horny pills and we'd be set for life. Oy, men some times!!! All I can do is shake my head.
