My Personal Heritage

I never thought I would completely live up to my middle name....until tonight.


My dear Grandma Beth is such a funny lady that has done the same things for years and years. Tonight I followed in her footsteps as I found myself wrapping my extra chic-fil-a in a napkin so I could tuck it away in my purse for later snacking.

I caught myself realizing I really am part Bethy ha ha.

Help!

I am starting school again in January and this time I am a student at Weber State University. I am really excited because I only have one term of pre-requisites left until I can apply for the respiratory therapy program. The thing is...I found out I have to be a registered CNA to be accepted.

I am looking at classes offered through MATC and I don't know what to do. I know they are great and girls pass the test when they take classes there. The class I am looking at is only 4 weeks which is really accelerated. The class is Monday-Thursday 5pm to 9pm. I just don't know if my body can handle it.

I am working 20 hours at the elementary school still, doing full time classes online through Weber too. I will be in my second trimester of pregnancy and just don't know if I can add the CNA class to my schedule and still be healthy and sane.

If any of you readers have any advice about the situation I would really love to hear it. I have tried to get a hold of MATC to see if they offer Summer classes and they haven't gotten back to me yet. I just don't want a CNA certificate holding me back. The sooner I get it done the better!

Addiction

As of late it appears that I cannot do something without becoming addicted to it. If you ask me why I will tell you that I have no idea why I can't just be normal.

My biggest addiction is facebook, so I decided to take some vacation from it. I have only been gone for about 5 days and it's painful, but so good for me. Well to fill the time I am getting back from being off facebook I am watching Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's is a very dramatic medical show that makes me cry almost every episode. After just one viewing I was completely hooked and the characters were my best friends. Okay so two hours of Grey's a day isn't so bad right? WRONG. Grey's is dirty-like really dirty. Everyone sleeps with each other and cheats on their spouse and it's alright in their world. I start thinking that wrong things are okay things when I watch t.v. like this. So....I am having to give up Grey's. Today was my first day and I was completely strong! Go me!

So now I am on the hunt for a new addiction. Josh wanted me to become addicted to house cleaning, but I told him that will never happen ;) Right now I am going back to reading. The only problem is I am so exhausted constantly that I fall asleep after about 20 minutes in a book. But, I did go to the library today and get 5 books that were on the top list for 2009.

Wish me luck! And if you have any suggestions about good addictions for a tired, hungry pregnant girl-please don't hesitate to share!

Permanent Munchies...well sort of

I haven't blogged in so long because I decided I was going to give it up. But since I am giving up facebook temporarily maybe blogging will be a better addiction.

As most of you already know Josh and I are going to be a mommy and daddy in the first week of July next year. We found out in early October and got to announce it to everyone on Thanksgiving. We are really nervous and don't really know what the future holds for us exactly, but nevertheless we are very excited.

Lucky for me I haven't been sick at all. No throwing up or even the urge to throw up. My biggest symptoms are being exhausted constantly, becoming nauseated by lots of different smells, and I am hungry ALL. THE. TIME.

I have discovered that if I don't eat a little something every two hours I am not a happy camper. Needless to say I have gained about 3 pounds and I am almost done with my first trimester.

I keep telling Josh that I am not nervous to deliver or have shots or blood drawn or anything. I am afraid of being HUGE when all is said and done. He keeps reminding me that our little one will be worth every pound in the end.

So right now I deal with the fact that nothing fits, I need a snack with me at all times, and I already have to wear what I call "fat girl pants."
