So many, many emotions. Mostly so much exciement that I couldn't go to sleep last night.

Today is the day!!! As Martin puts it, today we're finding out if we get a troublemaker or a caregiver. Funny guy.

On Monday, I made a long list of things that I wanted or needed to get done this week. It felt so good to cross a bunch of them off this morning.

I finished a three hour art quiz on Monday in ONE HOUR. I'm helping my brother with his art class because it's something he has a hard time understanding and since he just needs the credits from this class I don't see why I shouldn't help him. Art is my passion. Helping him on discussions and writing essays is also fun since writing is another passion of mine. Its the perfect arrangement.

I also got a haircut on Monday. I didn't get anything new done to it, just a trim and layers like I had before but it made me feel really good about myself.

Yesterday I babysat all afternoon for an officer's wife, and she paid me ten bucks an hour.    Gee, sometimes I just want Martin to put in his package to become an officer.... pronto! I wouldn't mind having large rolls of 50's in my wallet at any given time. LOL. We've actually talked about it a lot since he's already got everything in order to promote early and he'd have no problem making officer. But, then again, it's not all its cracked up to be. We'll see.

I mailed that poppy painting yesterday to the person who ordered it... That was another really good feeling for me.

Later today I'm enrolling in Ashford University! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I'm so freaking excited! Sometimes people tell me I might as well giving up the thought of getting a degree while having kids but I know plenty of motivated moms who do it. Ashford University works with you and even lets you 'pause' a semester if you need to. Martin is my biggest supporter, he wants me to do this for myself and he believes I'll have no problem achieving my goals. What a man.

This week is registration time for two of the art courses I'm going to take this summer. I'll probably post pictures of my work as I learn new techniques.

This week I'm going on long walks around the lake with my girlfriends in the evenings. Last year I was so lonely, even though we always had our new friends around. It takes me time to get close to people and I feel like it's finally happening now. I think I had to put a lot of my issues aside, issues like my feelings of thinking that I was too different (because of my background) from most of the people I was meeting to be able to relate to them, let alone be friends with them. In the end, we're all human beings! That's all! We're not so different from each other afterall.

It's SIX MORE DAYS until we find out the sex of our baby! I can hardly wait to find out.

Now I have to get back to my To-Do List.
