Life has been crazy. School has stressed me out to the maximum and it doesn't get any easier. The only light is that i know i only have one more year! I feel like a little girl, so impatient... waiting on something only to realize that getting there was the fun part. As i come to the last week of my junior year, i think about the future so much that i can hardly stand it. Life up until now has been so full of surprises that i don't know what to expect. I got to spend Easter with my family this weekend and that was great, i love them all so much and miss them so much (i always feel sad after i leave,lol) I really think after this year i might need to start seeing a therapist, lol. More coming soon...

Life has been crazy! Its like after my birthday, my whole world just decided to speed up. I have been writing a lesson plan like everyday, trying to decide what to do for spring and trying to read "The Color Purple". On top of that, things are only going to get moving faster. I spend way too much time on twitter and way to much time worrying about people and things that dont deserve my time or attention. Im just really tired. Not in the sleepy sense, but in every sense.... The baby shower is getting closer. It will be in two weeks and i have already made an awesome diaper cake, if i might say so my self. if you need one you can contact me at "Neil's Exclusive Creations" lol... ttyl.

Birthday Pics....

2011-02-02T07:12:00.000-05:00

After the weekend was over pictures,lol.

Im usually a picture fanatic, but i had som much going on that i didnt even get a chance to take that many pics, but im sure i wont forget what happened! lol

What a Life...

2011-02-01T20:35:00.001-05:00

So my 21st birthday was this pass weekend (Jan. 28). I had a blast! Went to a real club for the first time in my life, and contrary to what i though would happen, I had the time of my life. I have so much to say that i dnt even know where to begin, and by the time i do start, I'm sure i will forget half of what I wanted to say,lol. Sad but true. Anyway, I got to hang out with my friends all weekend long, which is def out of the ordinary for me,lol. After the weekend was over, i slept into reality and did work at 6am just to catch up on everything that i missed (it works better than one would think). Now I'm back at the school thing, and it feels good to finally be 21, lol.
-Cody's having issues at school. and it is borderline driving me nuts! I feel like he is just challenging me while I'm just not in a challenging mood. Talking to him is no good. Everybody keeps saying i need to whip him, but what do they know,lol. I'm just gonna try everything i can. So, thus starts my research into " how a single parent raises a stubborn child" lol, and if i succeed I think i mite write a book in a few years, lol.
-Valentine's day is coming up! I used to hate the holiday, but i realized that such attitude is unnecessary. Who cares? Although i am getting someone a treat,lol
So I'm interning with a first grade class, and i absolutely love it! I thought i wanted to teach second grade until i got a firsthand look into first grade. Next week i get to do my very own lesson plan, and all tho this is going to be my first one with this class, its not my first,but I'm just as excited. Kids at this age are so fun. Still innocent and interesting... I cant wait to have my own classroom. It wont be long now since I am almost done with this semester and will have one more year before i am a CERTIFIED teacher!

If i keep writing i mite end up with a book so this is it for now,lol

OMG...Monica, what are you doing?

2011-01-23T18:27:00.000-05:00

So, I've been kind of busy since school started and whatnot. I haven't been reading my gossip website like i used to do... Today i decided to catch up and learned some crazy news...[drum roll please]. Monica, the most awesome singer and one of my favorites is married! What! Apparently she has been secretly married since November and has plans to start making babies! Did I miss something? I'm just in shock. I didn't see her as the "run off and get married after you've only known each other for a couple of months" type,lol. I just had to get that off my chest,lol.

School's IN....

2011-01-18T16:29:00.000-05:00

So i had a whole extra week to relax, since a snowstorm decided to plow over Georgia. Now that its over, school is back in and so is the school drama. I just almost made myself cry writing an email {to the chair of the dept of early childhood education @ GSU} that i felt should have not been necessary. I just do not understand how someone can totally dis regard a plea for help. I guess that's just the way of the world. I'm too exhausted from my day to write anything else, but maybe something will come to me later!

Baby Shower Up date...

2011-01-08T22:34:00.000-05:00

I managed to set a date for the baby shower, finally. This is looking to be harder than i thought it would be or maybe i just didnt know what to expect.The guest list is now at 46 people, and has yet to be finalized. I need like a whole team or something, but its just me. I still need to find some invitations and take a look at the venue to determine how much the decorations are gonna cost. On top of that, i still need to think of an idea for centerpeices and figure out how to make an ass-kicking diaper cake,lol. Hopefully, it gets easier in the next month or so...

Missin My fam....

2011-01-05T00:54:00.000-05:00

As I sit in the midnight hours doing laundry, I suddenly started to miss my family. So I do what I always do when I start to miss them; I went through the millions of pictures that I have on my computer. It always makes me feel worst at first, but then when I see the happy moments on the pictures, they make me happy!

I love all of you:

Debbie, Jennifer, Alberta, James, Jamal, Janae, Janet, Javantate, Brayantae, Sinia, Miracle, Glenn, Henry, Damon, Dominique J

Back to Reality...

2011-01-04T18:11:00.000-05:00

So I’m back from winter break. I got the chance to visit California and New Orleans and I had a blast. I find it amazing that I’m not bothered by the fact that I haven’t spent Christmas at "home" for the past several years. I kind of like destination Christmas, lol. Now I’m back home and I have like a million emails because I have been in super chill mode. There was no twitter, no facebook, no blogging, jus me having funJ

I did manage to get my grades from Fall semester, A+, A+, A,B+, B. Pretty good, huh? Lol, that is a 3.78 g.p.a if you were trying to calculate, lol.

I have yet to see what my school schedule is, buy books, go get my hair done, buy a Christmas gift for my best friend, and unpack the 3 suitcases that I managed to fly from coast to coast with! lol But to say the least, I’m kind of glad to be back home to my own bed, own shower, and own sofa! I think I’m ready to finish this second semester of junior year so that I can be that much closer to graduating :)

p.s. i used two different fonts,lol

Random thought...

2011-01-04T09:42:00.000-05:00

I remember when I was younger, much younger; I would always wonder what my friends and I would be like when we actually grew up. Now that I’ve gotten a bit older, it still amazes me to see how much things have changed. Time really did fly by and people changed, some grew up and some are still trying to figure out how, lol. Some things are good like the dumbest kid in my third grade class actually went to college. Others not so good, like the girl who was openly promiscuis still is and has 3 kids at 21 to prove it. One of my friends who barely talked to boys now lives with her boyfriend, wow! And me, where do I start? I did have a kid too young, but I grew up faster than I ever imagined I could. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we were all so innocent, full of wonder, playing outside without a care in the world and then… life happened. The good news is that there is still so much more to experience. I like to say that I live and learn a little bit more each day.

Let The Fun Begin....

2010-12-15T18:29:00.000-05:00

So, instead of sitting around all day, I did some stuff these last few days. I went to the mall, hung out with some friends, I even cleaned up, and I'm sure it’s only going to get better, lol. I’m getting ready to travel for the holidays and I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of people that I haven’t seen in a while! I just came to realize that I don't have enough fun, i only get to be young once, so this winter break is going to be my time to have as much fun as I need to, lol.

i thought this bustiere

was a good look for me,but decided not to buy it since its winter,lol

School’s Out...

2010-12-13T10:48:00.001-05:00

I am done with final exams and I am officially done with my first semester of sophomore year. What should I do next? It never surprises me that I become extremely bored when I’m not in school. Last year, I managed to find book series like Twilight and The House of Night to keep me busy, but I haven’t found anything that I’m interested in so farL What if I’m a nerd? Lol. I’ve always wanted to study body language, maybe I’ll start some research, lol.

Prospective things to keep me busy:

ü ~~Start a blog~~ (DONE)

· Find a good series to read (MAYBE)

· ))~~Go through all my computer files~~ (LAME)

· ~~Cleanup~~ (BORING)

· Go shopping (DEF YES!)

Websites i go to when im bored:

Planning for Baby...

2010-12-12T00:20:00.001-05:00

So, my best friend is preggers with her first child (five months along)! We just spent about two hours talking about all things baby.I am so excited! The most exciting part (besides the baby) will be planning the baby shower. It was about five years ago when she walked into my life, and after knowing me for a matter of days, planned a baby shower for my little one. So here we are. Not only am Ireturning the favor, but seeing that she's like a sister to me, planning this shower is something that I would have done any way. She and I have already worked out the majority of the details. All we need is for the time to come,so that we can put our plan in action,lol.

P.s. in the event that you need some baby-shower-giving- tips, here are a list of some of my website resources:

Married Life

2010-12-10T22:06:00.000-05:00

This guy pees on the toilet. When he does remember to lift the seat up, he leaves it that way. I have to share everything with him. Its fun sometimes, but sometimes I wana have the last bite for myself. He wakes me up too early in the morning just to make breakfast. He always wants to tell me how much he loves me when he's in trouble. He takes up too much space on my side of the bed. I love him to death but sometimes he annoys the heck out of me! This is life with 5yr old Cody.

At First...

2010-12-10T19:59:00.000-05:00

At first, I was somewhat skeptical about starting a blog. I thought to myself, “what will I talk about” and “who will read it?” I still don’t know the answers to the questions, lol. The truth is that I can talk about anything I want and whoever is interested will take the time to read it. I like to talk, and since my friends are always telling me, I talk too much, now seems like the perfect time to talk (or blog) to whoever will listen. Here goes nothing…. and welcome to Life Like This!
