We shat start with school: I ONLY have 15 more days till I walk that stage and have my Bachelors Degree in Public Relations! I never thought I would finish and now that I am so close I am beyond excited. Words don't even come close to describing.
(Besides my aunt and uncle) I will be the first to graduate from college.
I have been considering my masters but UNF, does not offer a masters program for PR (yet...its coming in 2010) I don't want to attend another college , UNF is perfect. Not too BIG not too small. Its great. Not to mention i LOVE Jacksonville.
So I am going to wait till E is in elementary school before I get my masters.
I just can't even begin to imagine what my life will be like without school always looming over my head.
But I have a few connections that will (hopefully) lead me to a wonderful job. I won't go into that b/c I don't want to jinx it.
So that is that. if all goes as planned I will be graduating w.a 3.2 GPA. But as I am told by PRSSA Members (I am an ex member myself) and by a few of my connections, Its NOT about GPA its about how you are in real world situations and interviewing skill and resume (mine is pretty impressive, If I do say so myself). So I am NOT at all worried. I got a B (one of few) on my mid-term in Mass Comm (HARD ASS CLASS) and I have a 20 page paper (I have 10 knocked out already--Thx for your help Holly) and a final. This is the ONLY class I need to graduate. I am taking a few others but this is the BIGGIE. LoL So that is that. I am so ready for this day.
Just to know I am in the process of making a GREAT life for my daughter by getting my degree Better job, More $$) make the 1,000+ Miles i put on my car a week well worth it.
For those who are curious- it ONLY took 4 yrs, which is the Normal time for a bachelors, unless you change your major, which I did very early on.
I started UNF in Aug 2004 I will Grad Aug 1 2008-- 4 yrs.
It has been a wonderfully exciting, DRAMA FILLED wouldn't trade it for the world 4yrs. I have made some AMAZING friends, STRENGTHENED old (22 year LONG) friendships. I have also through trial and ERROR learned what qualities my friends MUST have. I have met some people that really were a HUGE waste of my time. They are just very morally CORRUPT--No names needed. Im above that.

Moving on...
E. Where do I start. She's is truly the most wonderful child. I have truly been blessed. I have a Terrific pregnancy and wonderful birth.
She has been 100% healthy since birth.
Sleeping ALL night long in her CRIB since she was 3 weeks old, holding her own head up at 6 1/2-7 weeks.
She's been on formula since she was 6 days old and It was my fault that I only breast fed for a week, I got avery bad breast infection and had to cease BF. I cried for about a week but realized that I had to pull myself together for Ems. She got the colostrum and thats what's the most important.
She has been EXCEEDING the Drs. (and my) expectations. She is PERFECT size (length and weight).
Socially she is at the level of a 5 month old. Rolling over at 9- 10 weeks--Well before most. Most roll over at 4-5 months not 2. She is 15 weeks tomorrow and already trying to sit up on her own, I laugh b/c she she can't and she gets soo mad and kind of cries. She laughs all the time and when I get home from school on T/H after being gone for 8hrs she reaches for me when I walk in, that is such a great feeling, I can't describe it.
She also has pushed herself up on her knees when she's on her tummy a few times. She "Army Crawls" ALL over the place. She grabs at her toys and puts ANYTHING that fits in her mouth in it. needless to say I have to make sure everything within her reach is SAFE.
Her pediatrician, said that when I feel she is ready I can start her on rice cereal. But for now her 4Oz bottles sometimes 5Oz are holding her just fine. I will prolly start her in a month or so, as she steadily becomes more and more active. She will need the extra Calories. Right now her formula is doing the job. She plays hard and naps very well. I have her on a schedule and that makes things easy. When if for some reason I get off her schedule, because we are out at dinner or a friends house or something she doesn't like that. So we typically stick to it.
We wake up anywhere between 730-830am...change diaper and go out morning "talk" get a bottle, play for a few hours. Nap for an hour hr and half. All day is this way. Even when I have errands to run, shes pretty good when we go out. She gets a bath at around 7-715 and gets a bottle and goes to bed between 830-930 and sleeps ALL night, unless she rolls over, but shes usually only awake till she (I) roll her back over to her tummy. So all-in-all I am so very blessed.

My life (ish)- Well I am only 15 days from graduating from COLLEGE!! woohoo!! I am so excited. I have a great support system, my mom, tom, grandma and my bffs. Without them I would not have come this far.
My future with Robert is very uncertain. Once I graduate we will be getting a divorce. (I DO NOT want any emails, comments or MSG about this)
I have lost 31.6 lbs since I gave birth. I still want to loose 30 more. I was about 20-25 labs heavier then I like to be when I got pregnant, So I have lost all my pregnancy weight just to loose the extra ANNOYING weight. I lift weights 2 days a week with a trainer and soon will start some cardio here in a day or two to help boost my weight loss.
I am stressed.
I have the best friends anyone could ask for. I have been looking at houses and I have found a few I'm interested in. So We will see how that goes. I am not going to seriously look till after I graduate, I will be less stressed and looking for a job, thats stressful but not as much as all this school work.
