I had one goal this summer and that was organization. I am not sure what part of the word "organization" I don't understand. We are now one month from school starting and I haven't gotten one thing organized. Frustrating. This sweet little baby I have doesn't seem to be happy unless I hold her ALL the time. So I do. People tell me I will have plenty of time in life for a perfect house. I don't like that answer. I told DH that I need to just get rid of everything and start fresh. I am not sure how he felt about that idea. That would mean dh and dd would have to declutter. Darn! Any ideas on how to make a happy baby and organize a house in one month? Thanks.

I must say that I am excited for school to get started again. DD goes in to 2nd grade and I go into a forever sophomore status at the college. I MAY someday graduate. I am a 1/2 a tenth away from honors and am so excited. Anyone every taken Geology. I am a little nervous about that class. Wish me well.

So, I think I am still afraid of this blogging thing. If I could get past the mental block of sounding retarded, making someone angry, or just being weird I think this blog thing could be a really nice outlet for me. Hmm. I guess I need to tell people I have one. This could get interesting.

Wow, I am finding new hobbies like crazy. I got invited to a Stampin' Up party and got hooked. I love their stuff. I have been on EBAY it seems non-stop finding stamps I guess I can't live without. It's been alot of fun and have made some really cute pages. Now I just have to get my area set up so I can scrap and stamp away. I can not wait to have a room all to myself just full of scrap, stamp, and craft stuff. That will be fun.

I also found that I could actually decorate a cake. I am pretty well impressed with myself. I made a cake for Lexi's birthday and did so well I made another one today for my friend's birthday. I will try to figure out how to post pictures. I don't know how to post them so when I figure it out I will.

My poor Amelia. She has been so unhappy these last couple days. I have no clue what I am doing wrong. I don't think I am really doing anything wrong, I believe she may be teething. I kind of remember teething with the other kids, but I guess I forgot. Amelia just cries and cries and cries some more. She cried until 5 am this morning and then has been pretty much unhappy all day. She is now finally sleeping. It's all par for the course, being I have a math final tomorrow morning and 2 papers due this week. This will teach me a lesson about procrastinating.

Other than Amelia, we are finally finishing this semester. I was going to go to school during the summer, but Matt pretty much talked me into a break. He said I needed a mental break. I am tired and mentally exhausted. It will be good to get caught up on all of my life from being pregnant. Yes, from pregnancy. You might say "that baby is 5 months old". I would say yes she is, however, I had a c-section and went back to school full time 5 weeks later. Therefore, my house will become organized, it will get a good deep clean, and it will be good quality time spent with the children. Sound fun?

I hope this finds you all well and happy. Wendi

No pun intended..I have learned that I hate Critical Thinking, Fallacies, and Inductive Reasoning. You feel kind of stupid when you are on the phone with a friend and you say to them, "hey do you understand fallacies and can you help me" and in the meantime the Elder's come in for dinner and say "Oh, sister Lougy, I can help you with that". I felt pretty dumb. A 19-20 year old could explain fallacies better than the internet, my husband, grown-up friends, and my professor. The dumbest thing about it all was that ALL of the examples my professor put in his notes were on the test. Do you think I put two and two together? Nope. I am almost done with this semester and I am glad. I survived another very long 15 weeks. So, kudos to me!

I have been thinking for a long time I needed to start blogging. I have a couple friends and a sister who blog and I thought it would be a great way to keep family and friends in the loop. SO here I go on my blogging adventure. I kind of look at it as a way to tell what I am thinking and how I am feeling at the moment. This will be fun!

I am excited to meet new "virtual" friends. I like chatting. Anyone who knows me can testify to that. Well, good luck to me!
