That was stressful

Wow. Where have I been the past few months? Oh yeah. Stress land!! Holy crap!! Working both jobs and going to school was nuts. How do people do it??????? Especially when they are going to school full time or taking more than one class and working! I haven't taken any type of schooling since I graduated in 07.. I forgot what its like to go to class, to have homework. I want to learn spanish, I didn't just take it to scrape by. But I DID NOT realize the amount of effort I had to put forth in order to learn it successfully. The amount of time I would have had put into studying, was just not available. I was only home for like an hour and a half a day, and during that time I was getting Samarah up, feeding her and myself breakfast, getting me ready, and trying to cram a bit of studying in. Study, with Samarah? Yeah right! even when the weekend came around, I work Saturday and anytime I pulled my books out Samarah was INSTANTLY beside me. She could have been content playing or doing something and it was automatic when I pulled out my books, she was trying to climb on my lap, drawing on my home work or my books.. getting mad when I told her no, yanking my books and homework off the table onto the floor.. crying until I either stopped, or let her continue to draw on my homework.

I did not cook like a single day in the last two months. I wasn't home long enough to do so. I was working until 10 or 11 at night, getting home and trying to study/do homework until 1 or so but by the end of the day after going all day my brain didn't retain any information!

This was stressful! The class is over as of Thursday.. I'm sad because once I got the hang of the crazy schedule and actually started doing good, then its done. I will have to take like 5 more classes in order to learn, and I don't have the money no way, but I still did learn a lot and maybe now I can try to continue on my own.

Good but stressful experience.. My house, my yard, my husband, my child, all show signs that I have not been around the last few months. Got some catching up to do!

I am back and want to be a better blogger!!

by the way.. Official Diagnosis is...

My official diagnosis.. or one of them anyway...was a Perianal Abscess. But it did not manifest itself in the normal way thats why it took them so long to figure out what was wrong with me!!!

Its almost been 4 weeks and everything is doing pretty good.. I have had to keep the gauze stuffed in the gaping hole to make sure that it heals from the inside out because they don't want it to heal from the outside in because then it could trap all the bad stuff we are trying to get out of my body.

I have had 2 follow up appointments and everything is looking good so far. I have more to say on it, but later..

Giving a 2 year old a sink bath was interesting

With our bathroom under construction, we had to improvise when it was time for a bath. We have another bathroom downstairs, but it is a stand up shower only, no tub and you can't really get out of the spray of water and Samarah does not like that... So we opted for the kitchen sink :) Sorry pictures are kinda blurry

She like barely fit she had to keep her legs scrunched up but she thought it was pretty cool lol

She liked playing with the dishes in the sink next to her

I've had to do this few times now and its been quite fun each time haha.. I do miss my bathroom though
