Its Thursday!

Yeah, its Thursday! The week is almost over:) Its been an okay week. I have been busy with school this week as well as work and of course, looking for a new job. I applied for a position at UNC, doing research in the health field... keep your fingers crossed and wish me luck!!!

Ry has been a little cranky and clingy this week because he is getting his final set of 18 month molars in! The littlest things are setting him off. He is very independent and does not like to ask for help. For instance, we went to Southpoint today and he had Chik-Fil-A for lunch and he got chocolate milk with his meal. Of course they had run out of bendable straws and I had to put in a regular straw. I tried to help him understand to hold the milk upright but he wanted to no part in that!! And of course he spilled chocolate milk all over himself. When he went to drink the milk again I try to warn him but I got "I can do it" and of course he spilled his milk again. The third time he understood what to do. Live and Learn!! He took a great nap today but we did have a little meltdown over juice. His parents do not want him to have juice after lunch and since likes juice so much, this is becoming a problem. He asked for some after nap and I gave him water. He got upset with me and threw it across the table. I admonished him and he was ok until his tv show was over and he just started crying. I kept asking what was wrong and he told me he wanted juice. I, of course said no and he cried for about 5 minutes until I told him no matter how much he cried, he still wasn't going to have juice, only water. Well then he gave up and went to play....unfortunately, this is not over, he will try and wear me or his mommy and daddy down but we will not give in!!!!

So only 21 days until my summer classes are over!!! WOOHOO!! I am swamped with homework, papers, projects and quizzes. These have felt like the longest 8 weeks ever but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

On an exciting note, my classes end the 31st and I leave the next morning for West Palm Beach...so excited!!! My very close friend, Zach just moved there last month and was supposed to be there a few years but it looks like now he will be moving somewhere else and it definitely won't be as tropical! So we talked about it and I booked my flight on Tuesday morning. I am counting the days and it can't come at a better time. With everything that's been going on over the past month, I am in desperate need for a break and there's no better place to relax than at the beach:) So this means I need to crack down and increase my exercise. I already do 5x/week for 30-45 minutes which I will increase to 6x/week plus more toning exercises. I have look smokin in my bikini, I definitely don't want to stick out like a sore thumb on the beach. The people down there make a living looking good!!!

So July seems to be going better, still have yet to find a job but its not because lack of trying. Its hard to be patient but I know something will come along soon. Its been a month since Brandon passed away and I can finally listen to a song or see a picture of him without crying, that's improvement over the past few weeks. Anyways, I think I have rambled on enough......
