Last Call for 34!!!

Wow! It really is my last call for 34! I sit here writing this post at 11:06pm on March 12th. In one hour it will be my birthday.........my 35th birthday. It makes me sad. It shouldn't...I mean what is the alternative......dead? Rather be 35! Where did the years go? Where is my youth? I still feel 18. I no longer will be considered "my early 30's". If I get pregnant again I will actually be considered "advanced maternal age". I am sitting here wishing that there would be someone within the next 45 minutes or so ask me how old I am so that for one last time I could say "I'm 34" and not be lying about it :) SCARY!!! I am now going to be 35!!!! As of today I am married to a 39 year old!! I am married to an old man!! How did my lil 25 year old stud muffin who I met in a bar get to be pushin 40!!?? But seriously, I will look forward to the future and all that I have accomplished and WILL accomplish as a 35 year old me....after all, even at 35 I AM DOING IT ALL!!! :)

What Am I Doing Here?

Who would have thought that I would be sitting here at a computer a week before my 35th birthday with a husband that I have known since I was young, two kids that I went to hell and back to get, a house right around the corner from my parents and a school bag flung over a shoulder. I don't really know why I am starting this blog. The little reminder on the left of this reminds me that I don't have any followers....but that is ok for now. I think I am writing just to write. I think for now I will use this as a diary of sorts. Don't get me wrong, if you care to stay here and read it...feel free! Grab a cup of coffee and read on. I don't claim to be a writer. I am just a busy wife and mom who is extremely busy yet lovin every second of my life. The ups AND the downs. Well....I don't love the downs but they too shall pass. As I write this blog my husband is still out of a job. He has been for 19 months now. The economy is in the toilet and there really are no jobs to even apply for. He rarely even gets an interview and when he does he stands ina room with like 50 people hearing an overview of the company and then leaving his resume behing (now if that doesn't scream "Don't let the door hit ya in the ass" I'm not sure what does! ) My daughter "Chick" is five and a half and my son "Herm" is 7 months old. They are truly the light if my life. They are amazing! No really....I am not biased at all....they are AMAZING ;) I am also working a full tie job four days a week and going to school three days a week. Life is hectic...but SO wonderful! I am in the middle of applying for Our Lady of Lourdes nursing school. I had to take the NET test yesterday and passed with a math overall grade of 88, English overall grade of 76 and my ranking was 91. I was thrilled! I felt such a weight lifted from me when that was over! Only about another million other hurdles to go over!
