Positively...

...Exhausting? worthwhile? time consuming? ALL OF THE ABOVE!

I have been trying to keep up with my schoolwork the past couple of nights. I feel like all of my motivation has gone out the window. Why did I decide to do this again?? I'm doing my best but this online teacher is ridiculous! Great...another crazy lady. Why does ratemyprofessor.com always lie to me?? But seriously, and then it hits me.....

I have another class starting after spring break. Yup all motivation gone. Those two associate degrees that seemed so close last semester have gotten more distant. Maybe i'll do just one class at a time. Or pick easier classes. Frick.

Don't get me wrong. I feel super blessed that I can even go to school.

Its fun to hear all the older people say how much they would love to go back to school.

Quite frankly, all of you out there...you all say that until you get there and then BAM. Now you remember why you stopped in the first place. Ha!

Now all joking aside, i'm trying to start budgeting better. We've done pretty good so far, we've just been realizing that we have less than a year to find a place to live.

I'm not ready to be homeless just yet.

So in order for that to happen we have to be saving something.

Where we can get that money from I'm still working on but, If we can save something I know we will be so much less stressed towards the time when we have to move.

Derek and me have been discussing finances a lot lately and we have prayed about how derek really needed a raise. He felt like he was working so hard, for little to show for it. So after a night of frustration and prayers, he went into work and he got a raise. less stress there! And they said that they want to raise him again in a couple months. Answer to prayers??

I think so!

I've been trying really hard not to compare our situation to other peoples'.

It's been hard, but i have found that focussing on us helps so much better.

It is wasted energy if I'm always worrying about what everyone else is doing or where they are at. I'm proud of myself for not letting jealousy overcome me. That has been a blessing to us too.

Spring cleaning next week and I'm super excited. Got my list all ready to go. :)

Time to get back to homework. Blah.
