phew!

Wow! What a week and I survived. I know I can do hard things, it's just not very fun at the time. Now looking back I can see it was good for me, I learned a lot and boy am I glad it's over. Here was my past week
Tuesday~ last class for Abnormal Psyc (LOVED the class but I will try to never do a 3 credit class in 8 weeks again, holy cow a ton of information in a VERY short period of time)
Wednesday night~Math mid-term
Thursday morning~Psyc Final
Thursday day~ Pathophysiology quiz
Thursday night~ class
Friday & Saturday~ I completed an entire online class. I don't recommend it. It was AWFUL! It was one of those filler classes that I needed the credit for. It was a self paced class which was great except I happen to be the worlds worst procrastinator with the easy stuff. That stuff can be done later, I don't have time right now. I can justify it any way I need to. So it was all due by midnight Saturday night. oops. Didn't quite mean to procrastinate that long. Oh well it's done.
Sunday~Day of rest. I struggled with this one. I went back and forth a million times in my head. I had a HUGE midterm in my pathophysiolgy test due by Monday afternoon. I knew there was no way I could take it on monday with kids running around playing, doing carpool to and from school, etc but I have NEVER done homework on Sundays. I know I am blessed because that's the choice I have made. I know I'm able to learn more and get more accomplished because I make that sacrifice. But I also had the dialog in my head of I can't do it on Monday, one Sunday won't hurt, most students study on Sunday and they do great in their classes. On top of the exam I also had 6 hours of lecture video still to watch and 38 assignments to hand in. So in my head I knew I couldn't accomplish all of it on Monday. I decided to stick to my promise I had made and rest on Sunday. My body needed it, my soul needed it and it was a great affirmation that by doing what I know is right I am blessed. I went to bed early Sunday night and woke up in the middle of the night Monday morning. For those of you that know me know that was NOT an easy thing. I need my sleep! I reviewed for a few hours, took my exam and did so much better than I could have asked for and turned in part of my assignments. I went back to bed until everyone had to be up for school and work, got everyone off and I started back in with the lecture and assignments. I know our home was blessed yesterday. I know the kids got along better, and everything went smoother because I had made the choice to do what I knew I needed to. I'm thankful for personal revelation and for a wonderful husband that supports and helps more than any husband should have to. I'm also thankful for new beginnings. That Sunday was my fresh start. I have a new calender and day plan set out for myself that will work better for our family and my school work. So here's to trying again, being better and doing better!

PS as a reward my boots came in the mail today. I LOVE them even more than I thought I would. They are brown so now I'm on the lookout for a black pair. I love this style so much I may order them in black to if I can find them in my size. PPS have you ordered from Piperlime? So nice, no shipping (free return if you need that too BONUS!) and my boots came wrapped so pretty with my invoice in a pretty little thank you card. It made me feel all special.
