I'm a little tired and a little bummed out today. I don't know why. Well, I know why I'm tired, but I'm not really sure about the other part.

Anyway, I thought I'd answer a few questions I've been asked in my comments section.

Yes, I am definitely planning on scheduling some Vaden family time this summer. I want to head up to Idaho in July so I can spend at least a few weeks visiting my mom and grandma and any aunts who may be around (you know who you are). I think I might see if I can get some info on ISU grad school while I'm there. Just in case I can't get a job when I graduate.

I was also asked if I'm still advertising my "sewing skills" on craig's list. The answer to that: not at the moment. I did advertise that once and had a customer lined up, but of course, that fell through. I may try once more once more this summer. Or I might just whip up a bedding set and try to sell it on etsy or something. That pretty much depends on whether or not I have enough money lying around to pay for the supplies. I love sewing, but I wouldn't want to sew something stupid, which I might get stuck doing if I advertise as a seamstress. I'm sorry, but I refuse to make a quilt featuring any kind of cartoon character. I'm just not into that.

And one more answer. I'm trying to at least get back to the weight I was at before I got pregnant with Chloe, which was somewhere around 135. Ideally though I want to be able to fit into my yellow polka dot dress again. Although that would require losing 10 pounds beyond that so... I doubt that will happen. Maybe I'll just have to buy a new yellow polka dot dress.

I'd better head to bed and get some sleep while I can.

Ok, I KNOW I'm selfish, but I'm so glad there will be some time for ME. (:

Sorry you are a bit blue. Lack of sleep alone can do that to me. I hope you are able to at least get some good rest even if it isn't enough.

As for the yellow polkadot dress. Buy/Make/Borrow or steal a new one. You will be shaped differently and besides... now you are a confident new mother who needs a new "confident dress"!

I hope you're feelin a bit more on top of things this morning. It's tough trying to maintain a constant level of emotion, especially when you have so many irons in the fire. You are doing a FANTASTIC job maintaining home, family, school and self. There are bound to be some down, tired, crappy days.
Hug your girls and play with them some today. That is SURE to cheer you up! They are so cute, how could it not?
And I agree about the dress. We'll go shopping when you make it to Idaho! (Though I may be broke after all my gadding about:0)

Crazy and I can split the cost of the new dress.
