A New Year.

Tomorrow marks the first day of 2008. And I'm excited!

2007 was a rough year, a really rough year. Family issues, medical issues and work issues, lets just say it hasnt been our year. Through everything, I believe that its made me a better and stronger person. But I have a feeling that 2008 is going to be so much better.

I hope that everyone has a great start to 2008.

Meteor Shower

Was anyone else crazy enough to sit outside last night in the freezing cold to watch the meteor shower??
We were watching the 11 o'clock news last night and they mentioned a meteor shower happening. So Mark went outside to look. He saw a few so we got a blanket and some towels (the bed of his truck had ice on it) and we sat out there for about half an hour watching.
I tried to take a video of it with my digital camera but it was coming out too dark, you couldn't see the meteor. It was neat. I have never seen one before.

Not This Month

No baby announcement this month.

I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a bowl of ice cream.

Then to go Bunco and try to get my mind off of things.

Sleeping

has become a daunting task these days.
I've had restless leg syndrome since before they knew what it was. I went to the doctor, he told me that it might be our matress, to take 2 aleve half an hour before I go to bed or that I could be anemic. He did bloodtests and everything was fine. So, I basically think he thought I was crazy.
A year later, I see a commercial on tv explaining everything that I go through every night. Then, we didnt have enough money to pay for the perscription or doctors visit so I just dealt with it, thinking that maybe it would just get better. Now this last week, it has been sooo bad. I haven't been able to get to sleep before 2:30/3 am and then I was up at 9 and am exhausted.
Now, again, we dont have the money to spare on the perscription or the doctor's appointment. So I'm left with just being exhausted all the time.

The past 2 nights, when I have gotten to sleep eventually, I've been having dreams about my brother. He isn't around and hasn't really been my entire life. But for some reason he's been in my dreams. The first night, he was this caring older brother that was listening to my baby and life problems and was very sweet about everything. Then last night, he came to visit me at work and was playing with all the kids. It was really strange.

Today Was Rough.

I love the rain, but I dont like the rain when I have to work. The kids go NUTS because they can't go outside and run off their energy. I had completely lost my patience by 3:00. And I didn't get off work until 5:30.
It's not like every other day when its the one kid that doesnt listen to me when everyone else does. This was EVERY child not listening to EVERY adult. But I can understand because they had no where to run off all of their energy.
Sometimes it worries me that I have been losing my patience easier than normal lately. If I'm going to have my own preschool, numerous kids, 5 days a week...How am I going to keep my patience with them when I can't now with the 8+ kids 5 days a week? And its not the little ones that make me lose my nerve, its the ones that are 4 years and older. The same age group I would have at my preschool. I still have 3 years before I'm finished with school and hopefully by then I will have learned to keep my patience longer.
And to top it off, I just found out there was a group meeting tonight and now it's too late to go. My e-mail didnt tell me that I had a comment, then when I happened come on here to write I noticed my new comment. UGH, and I wanted to go too...

On a better note, my MIL is selling my candles like crazy at her work!!! I've almost sold all of my candles that I made last summer. And my boss is taking some with her on Saturday to the Craft Fair in town. Now all I need to do is pay off my credit card I used to buy the supplies then stock back up and make new ones for this coming summer! Hopefully sales will be better this summer than last summer. I'm going to be optimistic and say they will because I'm going more weeks this upcoming summer than I did last summer. And I know what I'm doing now!!

4 of my "kids"!
They look so cute and innocent!
