MIA

Sorry I have been MIA for a while. My 5 (now 6!!) year old got a hold of my laptop and gleefully popped off a bunch of keys on the keyboard. I can surf, but typing anything is a major PITA. Luckily, it is still under warranty, so I just have to gear myself up for no surfing at all and send it in… So on to the updates!! Pregnancy: Is going well. I have to take the GD test again. I passed the first time, but the doc wants a repeat ugh. I’m measuring a week ahead, and baby’s heart rate was in the 150’s at the last appt. I had a slight panic attack today when I realized I only have about 2.5 months to go if I make it full term (which I never have), and I am so behind on buying things. At the rate I’m going, she’s either going to be naked or dressed like a boy. Kids: Again are good. B. passed Kindergarten, and is enjoying his summer. He had his 6th birthday yesterday. We are doing a family celebration Saturday evening. A. has come down with night terrors. Let me tell you how lovely that is. He wakes up at 3-4 ish screaming like a banshee and won’t let anyone touch him. He is still asleep, but won’t let us near him to wake him up. Fun, fun, fun. School: I don’t remember if I talked about this, but when I found out I was pregnant I decided to drop out of the semester for the sake of my GPA. My brain and pregnancy hormones don’t mix. This was about two weeks into the semester. I then got a bill for about $1,200. Yay. I filed my FASFA and got really good financial aid, but I’m not going back until spring. I’ve been meaning to call the financial aid office and ask if 1) I can roll both semesters awards into one and 2) if I could apply my excess award to my past due balance. It would have worked out perfectly (in my mind). Unfortunately, I looked at the website and they have frozen registration on me so I don’t see it happening. Oh well, I guess I should wait until I speak to them before I make a judgment. Last, but certainly not least, I’ve been tagged! My old philosophy professor tagged me, and I will do it on my next entry (probably next weekend) I’m trying to put some decent thought into it 
