Bombarded…in more ways than one!
May 27, 2009
First off, I am swamped with school stuff at the moment. I mean SWAMPED…even more than I was last time I posted. The problem with only preparing for the NEXT thing (my current plan) is that on that one day when you finish that one thing and you suddenly realize you have FIVE NEXT things due in the next 48 hours (one of which could take the whole 48 hours by itself) you have a major freak-out moment.
As a result, I spent 15 hours studying/doing homework today with a few short (and I mean really short) breaks here and there. Tomorrow I will be doing the same thing…sigh. My butt is really hating me at the moment.
Secondly, I am still fighting through survival week. As much success as I had early in the week, I have definitely seen some ugly-tude the past 2 days. To top it all off, I had a lovely birth announcement arrive in the mail PLUS a phone call from a long lost friend…yup, you guessed it, pregnant and yes, all in the same day.
I mean, come on! I have been so…incredibly…good…about pregnancy announcements the past few months…HOWEVER, when they are bombarding me left and right…
in the middle of survival week…
while I’m barely keeping my head afloat with the stress of school…
Well………that’s just mean!
All kidding aside, the good news is that I have been so busy today I haven’t much thought about it. It was just tough getting to sleep last night, being that the few self-pity tears that snuck out plugged up my damn nose.
Ahhh, this is the life, the life of an infertile, pms-ing nursing student! It can only get better from here!

This is why I want to seriously MAME the advertising person that came up with the slogan “Have A Happy Period … Always.”
So sorry it’s raining and pouring right now. But the rainbow should come out shortly afterwards. Plus, Nursing School will keep you quite busy … enough to definitely keep your mind off other things.
Hugs, Kacy … you’ll do great!

Well the good thing is that you are so busy you really don’t have time to have the “uglies” for too long. Sorry about the birth and pregnancy announcements – they should have come next week when all is well with the world!
School is tough – just take some deep yoga breaths – you will get through it and I bet you’ll have a fantastic GPA as well. You are super smart!

There should be some kind of anti-pregnancy announcement. You know, like me just walking around going “I’m NOT pregnant.” It would kind of counteract the others.
