I survived!!

   SO... It has been an entire first week since starting college. There has been coffee, tears, excitement, pride and more coffee. Now a week may not seem like much, but technically it is two weeks, you see these late start classes are a full 16 week course crammed into 8 weeks. So each week it is like doing 8 classes of work instead of 4. I may have bitten off slightly more than I can chew but I am determined and so far I have all A's. I am enjoying the little bit of healthy competition with the boys that I share a class with. It keeps me on my toes for sure.

   So far my Stress Management class seems to be stressing me out the most, ironic huh? It is only a two credit course but I seem to have the most work from it. Go figure. I also managed to hold 3 Tupperware parties last week, one of them being a $1000 party with 5 bookings. I was ecstatic. The other two are closing tomorrow and I have one this coming friday. I was also proud that I finished all my schoolwork by Friday so I did not have to have it on my mind over the weekend and I got to relax and enjoy myself, what a concept. Saturday I went with Alyx and Shelby to Dayton, OH for a CAP field trip to the National Museum of the Air Force. A ton of walking and driving, but so worth it, I truly enjoyed myself and I know the kids did too.

  I am determined to find a healthy balance in my life, school, work, my businesses and my social life as well as time with the kids. I am realizing my time with them is running short as they will soon be flying from my nest. Now, as far as I know they are not leaving anytime soon, but it just seems like time is slipping by faster than I can grab onto. I am truly enjoying the time Taylor and I get on Monday and Wednesdays since we go to campus for our class, we grab a cheap bite to eat afterwards and just chat, about our class or anything else that comes to mind. I am thankful for every last second.

  Tomorrow I am attending an on campus event that will earn me extra credit in my sociology class. I am intrigued as well as apprehensive, some of you may not realize that I have a bit of social anxiety, as much as I am an extrovert I am also an introvert. Pray for me as I step out of my bubble and go to this event alone, not knowing a single sole. This is hard for me. I tend to take someone with me anywhere I go especially for the first time. This is so out of my comfort zone.

   I am anxiously counting down the days until I leave for my Florida trip I earned back in May from our Tupperware business leaders, 5 days in the Sunshine State. I cannot wait. 1 month, 4 days, 16 hours and 00 minutes and 06 seconds.

  Well that is all I have to share for this week, I am sure I will have plenty to say next week.
