Crazy life!

The months are flying by! Holy cow! Our lives have been turned upside down. I couldn't have imagined that it would change this much. I have lecture and lab 2 days a week, I am gone from 9am to 4:30-5:00. We have skills testing days 1-2 days a week. We have been taking tests in class over 10 plus chapters at a time, each chapter is over 40-100 pages long. And now I have started clinicals 2 days a week. I still work 1 day a week for 12 hours. My poor husband is working night shifts and 2 out of the 4 days he has to get up at 6:40am to get Covin off to school. As soon as Covin is gone Conner wakes up!!! We also got called to be teachers in the Nursery. Just another thing to add to our crazy lives. Shaffen on top of getting up with Covin for school now has to get up for church at 9am. Lately he has been getting off work between 4am and 5am. I am sure you can imaging what my house looks like. I think in the last 2 weeks I have made dinner 2 times. I feel like my nose is in the books 24/7. My poor kids.....when I ask them what they want for dinner they name restaurants now!! Funny, but I feel bad! Conner has decided that he does not want to be babysat anymore. He throws fits like crazy now. He never did before, he stomps his feet throws, himself on the floor, and screams like a mad man. He tells me he doesn't like me anymore and he is mad at me. I walk him to his room put him on his bed and tell him he can stay until he is happy again. I shut the door and tell him I don't want to hear him scream. Less than 5 minutes later he is 100% better. The door opens and he is giggling and telling me "Mama, I happy now, I all better!" He is such a mess.
When Covin started school I had signed up to take snacks for their little parties and his birthday ect. Well, I shouldn't have signed myself up I should have signed up Shaffen. He has had to do everything. All of the deliveries and everything. I haven't figured out how to manage my time.
I have the best husband in the world. He has helped me through these past few weeks. Meltdown after meltdown he is still very supportive. He always has my laundry done for me and the boys. Friday I came home to a clean house. Kitchen clean, dishes done, my floor swept and mopped, and laundry going. I don't know what I would do without him.
Hopefully, I can start getting this crazy life under control soon. I don't know how much more my family can take!

Nursing school is hard for us in the programs, but it is definitely hard for our husbands! It takes a special guy to get us through it!

You forgot to say Firday I came home to Kitchen clean, dishes done, my floor swept and mopped, and laundry going and 3 extra kids. I feel bad :( I hope things get better.

So that's what I have to look forward to, huh? Woo hoo! :( I've been wondering how you're doing. I hope it improves a little. So do you think all of nursing school will be like that?

Anyway.... Hugs! :) And yay for fantastic/understanding husbands!

WoW, and I thought my life was CRAZY!! Conner can come over and play with Rusten ANY time. It won't get your house cleaned but maybe Shaffen could get a couple hours of sleep. Let me know if ya need anything.

Misty,
You always find a way to get through it. Sometimes you look back and think how did we ever survive. I believe the key is to always look at the big picture and think is what I'm doing important for the future...if it is make it a priority. Your husband, kids, education, church. Good job balancing. I'm sure it will get a little easier to juggle. Just takes time and practice. Shaffen is awesome too!

Don't stress....it'll only make it crazier. Just take one day at time and it'll all turn out great! I know it will! Even the kids! Let me know if you need anything ANYTIME!!!...and tell Shaffen he did good and ask if he wants to visit my house (maybe for the cleaning job/maybe to help encourage Jason!).
