Good day everyone. Yes I know it has been a little bit since my last post. At least a week or two I believe. Well, something funny is, earlier, I guess Erin checked my blog because she commented "you havent been doing your blog." I laughed and was like "yeah, I havent been on there in a week or so." It's not that I didn't want to write. I did. I do. In fact, I pretty much would love to write every day. Usually it all depends on what else I am doing. For example, there have been quite a few days the past week or two where I say to myself "i wanna get on my blog and update with an entry." Yet, then I get busy working on assignments for school, then busy hanging out with the family, or busy reading whatever book I'm currently reading on my kindle, and then I end up realizing that I forgot to log online and by that point I don't have a way to get on currently. Then when I get home from work, I rarely think "i wanna get on the internet!" Usually my first and formost thought is "need to get to bed! need sleep!"

Working nights can be a challenge. I am used to it for the most part, and I don't mind it *again, for the most part*, but at the same time, it drags in a bunch of ways. One way that I will share with you is the lack of sleep. I always love my weekends because usually at least one day, if not all my off days, I will end up crashing fairly early and getting a very good nights rest. Then when I work, I get off at 8 AM, and if I'm lucky I can sleep till 3. Otherwise, sometimes I get woken up by noon, either by my sleeplessness *despite the fact that I should sleep longer than 4 hours*, or by Erin and Zoe getting home *some times when that happens, zoe is not behaving for her, and so what ends up jerking me out of a deep sleep is zoe screaming, and erin raising her voice trying to get Zoe to listen. We try our best not to yell, especially more so lately, because Erin and I have both been too easily to yell at the girls if we got frustrated, and I mentioned to Erin that I really wished we (both of us) would not yell as much at them, and so lately, even if they are pushing it big time, what ends up working is us saying things like "ally *or zoe* I am trying not to yell at you, but you are pushing me really close." or something like that, and usually if it's ally, she will suddenly start listening to what we are trying to explain to her.

So, time right now is a little bit short, so I'm going to see what all I can write about in probably the next 5 minute maximum time that I have available to write in. School wise, I'm still in Algebra 1A and Hospitality and tourism *the first hospitality class of my school career so far*. I have close to an A in HTT200 and a low B in Algebra1A (honestly, with some of the assignments in Algebra, I think I will feel fortunate simply to pass with anything C or above... ) I mean cmon! I'm pretty good at math, but there have been some questions that no matter what I read, where I look, what questions I ask or how many question I ask, I still end up looking at these problems and thinking "o shit I'm screwed." I remember when Erin had to take like 4 math classes in a row. It doesn't look like I have to do that, looks like algebra 1A this time, then algebra 1B next session *sighs* that sucks..... that means I have with the 3 weeks left of my current classes, a total of 12 weeks to go till I'm done with math. Somebody please kill me and put me out of my misery! jk.

So school is going ok. Work, work is work. That's pretty much as good as it gets. For the most part, it goes really well. I go to work, I do my job to the best of my ability, do everything that I have to in order to keep off the client/boss's radar, and just work every day, take it week by week, and then really enjoy having the weekend free. They have tried to call me in a few times like when we had that patient up here that was really dangerous, and I refused to come in on my days off. I still can't believe that.. "Chris would you be able to work a 12 hour shift on both your sunday and monday off?" I was like "nope.." didn't even have to think about it!..

So, i know there are other things to write about, but time is up and I have to go. Erin, please comment to let me know that you can see all the current posts. I had thought tonight that I wasn't sure if you could see my last few posts and hense thought that I hadn't posted in a really long time when really it's only been a week or two. =) Other than that folks, I will talk to you all again soon!
