All that being said though, it is good to be back home and in our own space! I was shocked at how great Bubba and Bug did on the flight back. They were little troopers even after I woke them up at 0420 to get ready and leave, then while waiting to board, and they fell asleep before we were even fully in the air! It is a 3.5 hour flight, and they slept for 2.5 hours of it! I was SO thankful since leaving was already hard on me. Maybe they knew that.
I got a lot of awesome pictures while we were there. We made a few trips to Sea World, the beach, park and just around my parents place. The best of them are on my facebook, but here are some of my favorites.
I got a lot of old family photos too while I was there, and I am looking forward to getting those into my computer and framing a lot of them. I got two of them in here (if you couldn't tell!) of me as a kid with my parents. One with my mom at the pool, and one with my dad. I love all the old pictures!
It goes without saying that I missed my husband like crazy!! Even though he is crazy busy at work, its nice to be able to actually see him and be with him. With that in mind, I missed my dog just as much!! I thought she was going to maul me when I came in the door, lol. Those of you know know her know she isn't a jumper. Meaning she doesn't jump up on people at all, even if you try to make her. When I came in the house, she clobbered me! Jumped up into my chest (at 130 pounds it was met with a nice stumble back since it was unexpected) and was just going crazy! Its nice to know she missed me too :) Somehow, in all her excitement, she managed to gash her leg open. First aid was administered and shes just fine now.
Now that we are home, I have to get back into our routine and I only have two weeks until school starts. I had originally decided to take just 4 classes, but I ended up bumping it up to 6 because after this semester I wont be able to use the money I still have from the MyCAA program, and I can see loosing out on them paying $1500 for two more of my classes. Im still going to loose out on one additional class since after these classes, Ill still have $800 left over and each class is $750 for me. But after this Ill be well on my way to my AA, and then move right on to my BA. I am giving myself a deadline of 3 years for my BA which would mean I would graduate just before Bug goes into kindergarten, and its more than enough time. Especially with me taking 6 classes this time around. Ill end up with more than 1/3 of the credits I need for my AA after this semester alone. So my first 8 weeks of school are going to TOTALLY blow, but its all in the name of furthering my education! At least Boats will be on push and I wont be missing out on time with him. Ill just need to manage my time well so that I can get all the work done while taking care of the kids. I think Bug will be going to drop in care while Bubba is at school during the week so I can have a few hours of quiet to get work done. We will see how this goes.
I am pretty sure I have slacked off enough this morning. There is a lot around the house that needs my attention, including unpacking so I should get to it! I am afraid to go outside today with all the mosquito around here! Last night I killed over 30 (no joke) INSIDE my house. I have to go to the store later, but I wont be stepping outside until we are slathered in bug spray. Ick!! Have an amazing day :)
Oh one more thing... I will be hopefully setting up a 'schedule' of blogs so that each day of the week has a purpose. I just need to figure out what topics for what days. Maybe that will keep me on point even while I am in school. Heres to hoping ;)
