hard times

oh how i have  been lacking on my blogging! sorry world! but to be honest not a lot has happened. just school and work. as for me, i have been for the most part loving school. i got real lucky with the girls in my class and we have been just moving right along! its getting scary how fast its going and how much i have learned in just these short 3 weeks. i know how to do perms and coloring and cutting hair and then manicures and scalp treatments and then next week we are doing pedicures, waxing,  and facials and im sure they will find time to throw something else in there. Today i got to highlight a girls hair which turned out sooo adorable! she looked awesome! and then i went and did a manicure on this other cute girl. its truely kind of scary knowing that i am completely held responsible for these people. mixing up the right amounts and right numbers of things and using this and that and all sorts of stuff. its real fun though. i love it. and also, i said earlier that i got lucky with the girls in my class. 5 out of 11 of us went to applebees the other night and im not EVEN kidding you that that is they very first time that i have EVER hung out with just girls. kinda weird but it was fun! they are so not dramatic thank goodness. i think thats why we all get along so well. The whole downside of school is that i have cried myself to sleep  many nights because i never ever get to see my husband anymore which i miss terribly. our schedules clash so much so the only time i really get to see him is during my lunch break and that is if he isnt at school. so it has truely been hard for me to adjust to that. i have a hard time waking caleb in the morning to tell him im off for the day and its just a kiss and a hug and then im gone. it honestly breaks my heart. yah go ahead and say im a baby! i'll admit i am! ha its not easy for me to do. anyways, and for caleb, he honestly is just struggling through school so bad. and because of his past he pretty much just got kicked out of school. and it doesnt help that his stomach has been giving him so much trouble that he has lost like 10 pounds in a week. he's so sick and it just breaks my heart to see. if your reading this dont tell him that i just told the world. but its the truth and thats whats been going on! stress has overtaken us and we have been just taking it one day at a time. thats all you can do, right?

Growing up...

As of lately, there are actually things that have gone on! lets see, Caleb started school! so far i think its going ok for him. i mean, in reality, pretty sure nobody would go to school if they didnt have to right!? yeah so where its kind of no option anymore we just make the best of it. I also started school and as of right now its going great! i was so worried about the girls being these high maintenence dramatic queens that i wouldnt get along with but most girls in my class are all really down to earth, funny, and we all get along really well which i am so greatful for!! and its going by so quickly! i only started yesterday (tuesday) and tomorrow (thursday) i get to get my station ready and get all my curling irons and scissors and capes and all that jazz and then do a perm on a maniquin! woo hoo! excited? yes. very. i think i am going to love this. The instructors are hillarious and i dunno! i feel like i belong  there so i think i made the right choice by doing this whole cosmetology school. :) :) lets see, what else has gone on.......i babysat my nephew a week before school and i just love every minute of doing it. i am quite baby hungry but i suppose i will wait till school is over. I also went in the day before school started to get my hair re dyed. mainly my roots and it turned out awful. i was first off supposed to blonde like i was. instead i went DARK brown. and i was NOT A FAN OF IT. the underneath color went green so i sat in the sink for like an hour so they could get it out. over all, i was there for almost 4 and half hours, paid $120 for something that i didnt even want, had an allergic reaction to the hair dye so now my neck and ears are bright red, itchy, and a bit swollen, alll my plans fell through that day because of it, i got home 10 minutes before i had to leave for work, i hadnt eaten anything yet so i was starving. let just say, i came home and had a huge mental breakdown. but i had to gather myself together so i could go fake a smile to the public. ( i hate waitressing sometimes. its hard to act happy when deep down all you wanna do is bawl and go to sleep) anyways, i got through the night and school the next day and that evening, i had my cousin fix my hair. so now its mostly back to normal, there is still a tiny bit brown throughout it but its definetely better than it was before :) Today i got a small stomach bug and came home from school and have pretty much just been layin on the couch...something isnt agreeing i guess. I went and saw my friend Elise and her brand new baby. and boy is her baby a cutie!! she was so stinkin precious!! Congrats to you Elise! anyways, thats all that pretty much has happened!

is he not just the cutest!?!

my cute new school bag! :)
