Sex and the what????

Soooo, I'm still stuck somewhere between Virginia and California in my timing. My body is still out of whack and I tend to be awake when I should be sleeping and sleeping when I should be awake. It has never affected me like this...hopefully it will correct itself soon :)

Ok, so I couldn't be more excited about this weekend. Tomorrow night we're going to see Sex and the City!!!! I can't wait to see this movie. I don't think I've been this excited about a new movie in a long time. I know me and the girls will have a blast..and then it's out to celebrate Sarah's birthday. Also, sure to be a great time. I know it will be a fantastic evening :)

Then Sat night I'm hanging out w/ the girls from my old work and I can't wait! Love the grown up slumber parties - always a blast!

Sunday is Country Fest and since I'm a huge Sugarland fan, I couldn't be more excited about this either. So, all in all it should shape up to be a fantastic weekend. I usually don't say that b/c I ultimately end up disappointed...but I'm sure it will all be great!

Hope that you have a great weekend as well and I'm sure I'll have stories at the end of all this :) Until then...

Heading Home...

Sadly, I'm down to my last 15 hours in Cali. Tomorrow I head back to the East Coast. I've had tons of fun spending time with the Macniders :) The weather has been not so desirable but I'll trade that for good company.

Don't worry, more to come, but for now it's off to bed before my long trip home tomorrow!

CALIFORNIA

So, I finally made it out to Cali...after a cancelled flight and a long day! Apparently, I also brought the rain with me! Though it gives me lots of bonding time with Jen and Colton :)

Have no fear, I'm having a blast and I'll be home next week! Love you, mean it!

Leaving on a Jet Plane..

So, tomorrow morning @ 6:40 my flight leaves for Cali...yay :)

It's time for me to get away for a while! Call if you need me!!

I must be wishing on someone else's star....

10:00 on a friday night and I'm at home...crazy life I'm living here. It has, however, been a crazy day...so I think I deserve a relaxing night in :) I watched my nephew, Conner, this afternoon...we've been bonding a lot lately! We played outside...which he loved. A 1.5 yr old is so easy to please!

I've really enjoyed spending so much time with all the kids lately. It has definitely made me refocus on how lucky I am to have such an amazing family. I also never realized how long you can keep 4 children occupied with an air mattress. All I had to do was jump around on it with them and them pull the plug, let it deflate and blow it back up again...they thought it was a ride. A definite hit :)

This afternoon, my niece fell out of a tree! Luckily she is ok...a few cuts and bruises but nothing broken. She's sore and spending her evening on the couch..but as my mom always said, it will be better before she's married!

I guess that's really all for today. T minus 5 days until I head to Cali and it couldn't be coming at a better time. Besides the fact that I haven't seen my best friend since January (and I can't be more excited about seeing her) I think I just need a break from worrying about everything and wondering what's going to happen next and just get away and have fun.

So, here's to another weekend...hope it's a good one! I'll be spending my Saturday night in a tent ;) Don't be too jealous...

There's no place like home...

So, I'm at home for the first night in 5 days...and I'm so excited to sleep in my bed! There's really not much to update...I mean, how many times can I write about how I still don't have a job!?!?!?!?!

I'm just looking forward to this weekend and spending some time with friends :) Then I get to start packing and I head out to Cali next Wednesday - definitely time to get away for a while! I can't wait to hang out with my Jenny :) And, of course, her new little one and Robert!!!

Well, I guess that's really all for today...still working on the nursing school application. Have to work on my essay next...should be fun! And I'm trying to get that in ASAP! Keep your fingers crossed :)

Until next time....

Snow White? Not so much....

I've been spending the last few nights with my sister-in-law and the kids. I've been sleeping in the guest room surrounded by the seven dwarfs. Yes, 7 gigantic stuffed animals...hence the Snow White reference :) It's kind of frightening to wake up to that...

Not much new on the job front. I've just been playing nanny for the past few weeks. Doing a lot of "soul searching" I guess you'd call it. I have, however, decided to apply to nursing school...that's my big news. So, cross your fingers. I want to do something where I help people...not constantly feel like I'm getting stabbed in the back. So, we'll see...I've been working on my application and essay and i'll definitely keep you updated on what happens.

Not much interesting to report today. The weekend was pretty low key and this week just holds some babysitting and house cleaning. Next week is my big adventure when I head off to Cali...OC here I come, can't wait!!!!

So, I'll leave you with my thought for today...I just keep telling myself this to help me get through everything:

"Life has a lot of surprises in store for you; sometimes it just takes time for the gift wrapping to come off..."

Happy Tuesday!
