So, I got my new phone and I love it. It's pink and wonderful and full of wonderful phone goodness. My last one wasn't bad either, but it was a little to bulky for my liking. Anyway, the past two days have been ok, I had a terrible migrane that finally went away today. No kidding, it hurt so bad that I was considering a trip to the ER. But, the ER here sucks ( at least the one near our house) and so I toughed it out. I meant to go to the dr.'s today, but by the time I woke up it was the office lunch time, and the doctor leaves for the day after that. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. My internal clock is so messed up thanks to Bobby's FTO shift this month. It also happened to coincide with Amelia's birth, but we'll blame Bobby's shift for now :). Anyway, I can't fall asleep until like 3 or 4 sometimes 5 and then I am sooooo tired all day long. I've been a little sick since Saturday so I've been sleeping as much as I can when Amelia is sleeping, but then I feel like I'm ignoring Katherine. So, I have decided that no matter what, tomorrow is going to be a Katherine day. We will go to the park, feed the ducks, have a picnic, do a little shopping (and run a few errands) and then top it off with a trip to the ice cream shop. Sounds fun!! Oh, I gave Katherine my old cell phone- it had all these videos that I couldn't transfer over to my mac. Anyway, one of the videos was of my little brother (13) putting his nipple on fire (crazy, I know). Katherine freaking loves that video. She watched it over and over and over and over again. It was really weird and cute at the same time. Oh yeah!! Big news! Hopefully, I will be able to start school during the spring quarter!! I am really excited. To be honest, I don't really want a job outside of the house, I love being a mom and housewife. But, I love school, I know I'm such a dork, and I miss the challenge of learning. Not that it was much of a challenge in high school and the first three semesters of college, but wow last time I went I had to drop out mid-semester b/c I couldn't take care of Katherine by myself, and work full time (Bobby was away for 5 months doing officer basic training with the army) it was way to much to handle. I really admire all the parents (esp. the single parents) that can work, go to school and raise their children with out neglecting any of their responsibilities, but I digress... Anyway, I'm going back to school YAY! Now I just need to figure out what I really want to be when I "grow up" which is one of the reasons I dropped out after my third semester.
Anyway, that's it. Goodnight!

I hope everyone had a wonderful  Christmas/winter holiday of their choosing. Mine was the best yet! I can't wait to bring in the New Year tonight, although I'm not doing anything special, I still plan on having fun. That being said... here are some of my goals for the new year
- to not pick up smoking again. I haven't had the urge since I became pregnant, so I'm hoping I kicked the habit for good.
- get down to my pre-pregnancy wait by March. That gives me three months to lose thirty pounds. It might be doable.
- not to use credit cards for ANYTHING
- get out of debt
-move
- go back to school
- focus on keeping my marriage a happy and healthy one
- limit my time on the computer
- focus on keeping my self happy and healthy
- start going to church

It seems like a lot, but I'm hoping if I really try then maybe I will be able to accomplish everything I have set out to do.
I hope everyone has a wonderful new year!

So, I called Apple yesterday and they were able to help me fix my desktop. They were not able to tell me what happened to it though. Oh well, now I just need to fix my laptop, but no rush there. I found out yesterday that with out a laptop I spend more time doing productive things. Like cleaning the house, taking K out for some fun, running errands and all that stuff. I hate being tethered to a desk all day, so the desktop will be used in the morning and at night. Go me! Also, I really think it will help cut down on the online shopping. Speaking of which, I haven't spent money on anything all week. The car seat and stroller were really the last things I bought. I even turned down two lunch dates. I also went into work yesterday, and told them that I was probably going to pick up some shifts soon, and then I re applied at a school close by. It's not my first choice, but, it has a broader selection of online courses, and it's on the quarter system. After I finish there I can transfer back to CSU or if we have moved GSU or KSU. Things are slowly moving towards the right direction.
On the downside, I have a doctors appointment today in Atlanta. I am really dreading it. I am not so much worried about the interstate as I am getting lost in Atlanta. The mapquest directions suck, so I'm leaving and hour and a half early. That way if I get lost.... well, you know.
