Yes, that is my conclusion for this month so far. It has just been one big pile of stress that has manifested itself as a 2 week long headache and stomach ache, haha. I am just so ready for this semester to be over in a few weeks. Then I begin clinicals, and I am just hoping that those are a little easier then this class has been. I am not quite sure what classes I am taking next semester, but lets just pray it is a little easier on the schedule.
So I am totally OFF of the working out wagon. Coltan was "experimenting" with the Wii and decided to shove my Zumba game and another one in there together... so they have been stuck in there together because there is no way I am going to try and fix it. I am hoping Dustin can successfully get them out without my brand new game getting ruined, oh I really hope so. This is just the beginning of the things Coltan has done lately. I won't even go into the fact he covered a couch in toothpaste and put toys/DVD/tool box into the (empty) fish tank. Thank God he is so cute, because he might drive me nuts if that weren't the case, haha.
I have found that my children play opposites... when one is acting up and causing trouble, the other one will be super sweet. That is definitely how this week has been, Coltan has been a super adorable little monster and Cory has been my sweet little angel full of hugs and cuddles. LOVE IT! I was napping on the couch and I woke up and Cory had put a note in an envelope, and placed it on my chest. When I opened it, it read:
'I <3 YOU MOM"
Awwwww.... He must be the sweetest little 6 year old to ever live, I swear.
I was a little disappointed to find out Rock on the Range's lineup for this year, on the other hand I was ELATED to hear that Glee will be in Cleveland in June!! AWESOME!
Potty training with Coltan is still a big mess. I found an article by Dr. Phil that explains how to potty train in a day, so we are going to give that a shot this weekend and just PRAY it works. This child must be potty trained soon, haha.
Well, that is about it... I am at work and have a ton to study for before class today. Hope you all are doing well, taking it easy, and keeping warm!

Ice Ice Baby
Yes... that is the song my dear Cory sang to me as we got out of the car yesterday. This weather is just nuts! I won't lie though, I wanted that blizzard that Chicago is getting right now. I would really love like 2 feet of snow... well, only if I was already at home haha. I do not want to get stuck at work, but who does.
As most everyone on facebook knows I spent the past few days being sick which just sucks, but thankfully I am on the mend. I don't know what happened in my body but now whenever I get sick it seems it drops to my chest and then I have some type of asthmatic response, weird I know... especially because I am not an asthmatic.
Working out has basically been non-existent, but we all knew this was my problem from the get-go. Then to top off the fact I was sucking at it, I got sick. So, I am feeling tons better so I hope to resume operation-healthify-my-life. I do believe I just made up at that word, healthify.
You know what else I miss doing? The ZOO! I freaking miss the zoo, it really needs to warm up so I can take the kids. Since I haven't been going to the zoo I have been filling my time with work, school, kids... and DISNEY! Yes, I have been obsessing over everything Disney for the past few weeks. I am just over the moon excited about going this November, to have ALL the kids able to really experience Disney is a dream come true of mine. To those of you who haven't taken your kids to Disney (or they aren't old enough yet), you just have to do it! The experience you will have with your kids is like no other, and nothing I have found compares to it. I have been going on many Disney websites and forums and I have learned so much. We are going to be like pros come November, the kids are just going to freak out. AHHH!!! I cannot wait! I have been debating becoming a Disney travel agent when i am done with school. How much fun would that be to help plan other's happiest vacations ever! I am pretty sure if Disney could just take control of the world we would have world peace.
So, potty training (with Coltan) is just not happening. I am pretty sure he would be totally fine being a 10 year old and peeing in his pants. It drives me nuts but the Dr. said "If a child makes it to 3 and not potty trained, it really is just a battle of wills." Basically, I have to be patient and try to reward the heck out of him... but Coltan is too smart for this. We have tried stickers, total excitement and ego-boosting when he goes, and M&Ms... and we are still struggling. Does anyone have any tricks? I am desperate. He must be potty trained before he turns 4! hahaha.
So, that is about it... We finally had a decent night at work so I was able to compose a bit of an update. Hop everyone is well, keeping warm, and staying safe this winter!
