Too fast

It's amazing how quickly time is going. It seems like with school, work, the business, and everything else in between, I am starting to feel like I can't keep my head above water. It seems like when I get one thing finished, three more things pop up. This past week while I was off, I was trying to get some samples together for a local school. I signed up for an ETSY account and messed around, but I never really accomplished anything despite all the time I put into it. Here's just one of the few samples I have been working on...

 I didn't do my school work because I was so busy with that, so right now, two days before my stuff is due, I'm still struggling to get it done. Why am I blogging with all this going on you might ask? Well, I've got to get it out somehow!! One day, I'll look back when all this is over with and laugh at everything I wrote. I'm so glad I have my Dusty. I told him yesterday how I was starting to feel really overwhelmed and stressed and he listened to me and made me feel so much better by saying he was there for me and that he understood. I don't know what I'd do without him. I'm sorry to be a Downer Debbie, but it's just that way right now. When I work my long week and have school at the same time, it really gets to me. Plus my long week doesn't allow me to spend time with my family like I'd like to because it's pretty much sleep, work, sleep, day off, school, work, sleep, work....you get the picture.

Last week, I also practiced making "cake pops" for Noah's Halloween Party tomorrow. I hate that I didn't take pictures, but they didn't come out that great. They were cute tho. I'm glad I practiced before the real thing because I figured out a few tricks in the process. I'm planning on taking a nap after work and then getting up to work on them (as well as finish my school work, go to a fall festival, and spend time with the family.

Another thing about working and going to school is that I feel like I'm missing out on my babies growing up. Noah is just getting so big. I was getting ready for work and had put on Toy Story 3 for him at his request might I add, and I laid down on his couch with him and just watched his little eyes light up from amusement. If you have kids and have watched Toy Story, you know that there is a pig character and in this movie, they call him "Pork Chop". It was so funny, he pointed and said, "That pork chop!!!" when the pig came onto the screen. I just got to thinking while I was watching him that he used to be a little jelly bean in my tummy and now, in front of my eyes, he's grown into a big boy. Every day he comes up with some new word or a funny way of dancing and I'm just amazed at what Dustin and I created. Not just Noah, but Olivia too. I'm not meaning to talk more about him, but it's just that he's at that stage where he's figuring things out and is coming up with stuff on his own that is just incredible. Just amazing.
