Falling Behind

Oops! Sorry for skipping on Monday's post. :) It's been a lazy and yet hectic weekend that I'm just now recovering from. Thursday Emery broke out in a rash and started running a fever of 102.5. Yikes! She was covered in red bumps, and she was constantly crying because her skin itched. I checked her mouth for sores because I remember reading these information posters in the doctor’s office about the difference between chickenpox and measles. Sure enough she had sores in her mouth, and this mom almost freaked out. My poor baby girl was exhausted and in pain for the entire day and night. Thankfully, on Friday we were able to see the doctor and it turns out it wasn't measles but instead it was Hand Foot & Mouth, again. Oh, yay.

Our weekend was pretty much spent in bed. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Em sleep so much. Not that I’m complaining because I used most of my time to read, sleep, and catch up on my homework. But every time she’d wake up, she was not at all thrilled. Miss Grumpy Pants was in full blown terror mode. It was not pleasant. On the bright side, her rash is almost all gone and she hasn’t had a fever in 24 hours. Too bad her attitude problem didn’t disappear along with the rash. She’s been testing our limits ever since she started feeling better. :(

Last week I fell a little behind on school. My tutoring hours are in desperate need of some attention, and my English essay’s were way behind. So I caught up as much as I could yesterday, and sent emails to my professors letting them know what’s going on. Thankfully, they were understanding. It’s crazy to think that in 3 weeks this semester will already be over. It went by pretty fast, and it really wasn’t my best semester. I’m a little disappointed with how unorganized I was, and how I turned things in late this time around. So, I’ve decided to take the summer off from school. I’ve been stressing over making sure we have money enough money without having to dip into our savings too much. But having to drive all the way up to Weatherford twice a week has been hell on my gas budget. So a summer break with not having to spend that extra money will be a nice relief to our wallets. Once my husband gets a job, I’ll hit the fall semester head on again. My plan is to finish up my basics in less than a year before having to transfer. :)

Thankfully, my dad is currently in talks with a supervisor on getting my husband hired on at FMC. My dad and brother had to fly out to Georgia this week to work on pumps out of state, so we won’t hear anything in regards to the job until he gets back. And even then, it could still be another month before my husband's working again. Still, I’m staying optimistic! Fingers crossed! I know that the right thing will fall into place when the time is right. I just have to be patient. Which also brings me to our decision of not having me apply for the job in Bakersfield. As awesome as it would have been, realistically it would not have been the best decision for us. It would have been an impulse decision based on wants, not needs.

So that about wraps it up for me. Sorry for lack of pictures, but as you can see I’ve fallen behind. So any that I took this weekend are still in my camera just waiting to be uploaded. I'm hoping after this week things will slow down and I’ll go back to normal. Hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend!
