back in black

I tried to think of a witty title about being back, and AC/DC popped in my head.

I’ve been avoiding this, and I really appreciate the ones who left messages while I was gone. I haven’t read my e-mails yet. I have been ok, just seriously out of it. Being in school full-time is a lot of work. I don’t like to think about eating right, exercising, and being accountable on top of that. I know I should care more about myself. I’m back in an attempt to do right by myself.

College is a mini-nightmare. One that I’m committed to for a few more years. My odds of getting into the nursing program are great. I just have to keep A’s. I don’t know about the pressure. My husband will be leaving soon, so it will be me and the kids, college, and life. Life. Oh, life is going to drive me insane. I can barely afford to keep my kids dressed and fed, much less deal with what day care charges. I try to keep reminding myself that all college kids are poor. It doesn’t help much…

Sorry about the poor sentence structure, bad grammar, and all. I’m jittery on coffee, not likely to eat a full meal tonight, and haven’t done anything relatively near exercising in over a month. Holiday season is here, my stress is so obvious it should be painful to look at me, finals start Dec. 4, and there’s a million things I should be doing. What’s new?

Y’all, keep me in line while I try to reclaim some of what I’ve lost. I don’t even know what I weigh anymore. [My clothes still fit- score one for me!] We’ll get through the holidays together.

    Hey Selena, glad your back! I am sure that school stresses you out! While my hubby was in the Nursing program he was impossible to be around! Clothes still fitting well thats definitely a plus! i obsess about weighing though too much! i am almost to my mini goal now, and so excited! You need to change your picture because YOU LOOK SO MUCH THINNER IN PERSON! HONESTLY! Ok k.i.t. Angie

    You have a lot on your plate. I just got accepted into the nursing program for the spring at the college i attend. I’ve been doing my prereq’s. It’s hard. I have a full time job and am a mom and wife. I understand where you are coming from. Patience and perserverance. You can do it. Just find something to do besides eat when you are stressed. Good luck!!!
