So Disappointed!

I called ETS to schedule my Praxis II exam, and they can't get me in until January 28. That means I will have to begin the certification program this summer or fall instead of in spring like I wanted! Oh well, I guess that's how it goes! I will go ahead and take the Praxis anyways... That will be one less thing on my to-do list when summer or fall arrive. I'm still disappointed though!

Gunner has another tooth coming through. Oh boy! When I picked him up from daycare, he greeted me with a huge grin, and I could see a small, white dot poking from beneath his gums. Unfortunately it hasn't completely broken the surface so I'm sure we have some fun nights ahead of us! He has already woken up three times since going to sleep at 7:30. I hope this passes quickly so I can get my happy-go-lucky baby back!

I think I'm going to try to go to sleep now... I am praying that Gunner is out for the count!

Am I Crazy?

My life has been a blur here recently! It has consisted of flying out the door to bring Gunner to daycare, flying to work, flying to pick up Gunner after work, playing with or feeding Gunner until Eric gets home, giving Gunner a bath, and putting Gunner to bed. Then my "me" time consists of writing lesson plans for the next week (or day if I'm too lazy to plan them out a week in advance), drinking a much needed alcoholic beverage (don't judge, I usually drink just one drink), and crash so I can do it all over again in the morning. I'll be honest. I wouldn't have my life any other way... But I think I've completely lost my marbles. I'm getting my Teaching Certificate so I can teach in the public school system. This means taking one or two classes a semester; Fortunately I have a few Education classes under my belt that will transfer to our local community college. My current to-do list consists of studying for, taking, and passing the Praxis II; I took the first Praxis exam already and passed. I'm so nervous, but I know I can do it. All this piled on top of owning a event rental and design business!? Bring it on!

On another note, Gunner is on more antibiotics for possible remains of an ear infection. I just know that he is going to end up needing tubes. He has had a total of 3 ear infections so far, two of them being back-to-back. The fluid in both of his ears isn't draining like it should. Bleeehh.

Sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I should! If you would like to follow my life while you're on the go (and see adorable pictures of my little man as he grows up), follow me on the app Instagram (I know the iPhone or iPod has this app, not too sure about the droid) - username @Primadonnax
