Degree? Nope, not yours.

I had to drop my classes today. No cashola came through for school. Yes, I know I should have been trying to save more throughout the year, but dammit, we have to eat too, ya know?

I'm just depressed about it. Some days my brain feels like mush. I feel like my one year old is smarter than me.

Fuck.

Moving forward...in more ways then one.

Well, Aislinn is walking. Full-throttle motion. She is so cute to watch. It's hard to believe she'll be a year old in 2 months. Where does the time go, really? I never understood the axiom "They grow up so fast" until I had Aislinn. Every day she is doing something new and it makes me wonder where that little newborn I brought home is.

Mama is also moving forward. I'm finally going back to school this fall. I was advised yesterday (by someone with the worst personality for advising) and have only 15 hours left to graduate with my General Studies degree. So I'm taking 9 hours this fall (Career Planning (haha), Spanish 101 and Philosophy 314-History and Principles of Evolution...I'm sooo excited about that course!) and will take 6 in the spring and then I'll be graduated!!! Finally. I started college all of 12 years ago...I coulda had a doctorate by now!!! :)

Steve is still working hard. Finishing up a large project this week and moving on to another busy calendar. He works so hard to allow me to stay home with our child. I love him to bits!!!

So, that's just a little update on us. Maybe I'll get to writing here more often...but I can't promise it.

:)
Cheers!

Gah!!!!

Hopefully with the new year will come motivation to continue this blog.... :)

Happy Holidays!

Happy Halloween!!

 

It was a be-you-ti-ful weekend...

Saturday, the weather here was gorgeous. PooButt and I brought out the blanket and lay beneath the trees while Refney and his dad worked on my Silver Surfer (aka: the mom-mobile). I lay there with PooButt napping on my chest and reflected how lucky I am. :)

LSU and the Saints won this weekend, so that was bonus!



Today the weather was horrible, though. Rained all day...so I didn't get out to the store today. Probably won't tomorrow either with the forecast saying 90% chance of rain. The unbelievable thing is the temp is to be 63 tomorrow!!!! Why can't it be a clear day with those temps??? I'm so ready to get out into the fall weather. I need to start my walking routine. Though I lost all the baby weight (within a week and a half, thank you very much), I was about 20 pounds over my limit to begin with. I'm ready to be a MILF (or would that be "MYLF"????).

PooButt was exceptionally good today. I think she cried maybe twice? She did want to nurse all day...must be a growth spurt. Ah well...I didn't get any housework done today, but I'm sure I'll get it all together in the hour before Refney gets home from work tomorrow...heheheh.

Thoughts go out to the San Deigoans...must be hell to live with such helplessness due to fire. Scary.

Peace,
Sonya

Enjoying a most beautiful day. And her giraffe. :)

To Vote or Not to Vote?

So today is Election Day for the governor's race here in Louisiana. I'm so tired of all of the campaign ads on television. Seems like today may be the last day for them though. Bobby Jindal is expected to win the majority. If he doesn't, there will be a runoff election in November. A Republican governor is not what this state needs, but anyone is better than freakin' Blanco. I'm Democrat, and I didn't even vote for her last time. She's a bumbling idiot.

I don't know who to vote for. I don't really like any of the candidates. Honestly, none of them are well known enough to even compete with Jindal. It's sad, really. But, this is Louisiana. No matter who is in office, the status quo will continue. Corruption, nepotism and general laziness.

But, the food is AWESOME!!!!
