Life

Pardon the tacky-pun-title. xD I just figured... Perhaps we needed a 'life updates' thread? We all enjoy telling about what's going on for us lately, and we explain what's keeping us from kerpouncing the posts as frequently as we desire, so why not combine them all with a general update section?
Now me, life is absolutely nutty. Spring break week with two sisters to watch in the day, I'm creating and enforcing an entirely new daily routine and menu, dog training school is taking more work than I had thought (but still a ton of fun), I'm trying to maintain a good relationship with my hubby while he's stationed in Germany until Sept. or so, plus plan and save up for a month-long vacation to South Caroline come Sept, trying to see if a visit to Utah would be in the budget (I'm going to have to save up extra as a moving nest egg after said vacation so currently it's looking like Utah is out after I catch up on pet expenses, replace my glasses and consider the vacation/moving fees), I keep needing to bail out my mother on her English homework (so I basically have an extra class where she takes the exams after reviewing what I did), and my anxiety has been toying with me along with my stomach issues. It's a right mess, so it is, but I rather enjoy it when I don't feel as if the whole world's crashing on my head.
Good friends have helped a lot. I mean A LOT. They've kept me pieced together when the anxiety was real tough and given me reason to smile when I started feeling I might not be able to handle the simple life of 'stay-at-home-student-mom.' (our mother gets here late, eats supper, spends an hour or two with us all and goes to bed, which means I handle things so she can get more hours to pay for stuff like food). And they know who they are. Even if life is equally bee-hive busy-hectic for them and staying up-to-date on the little details with each other is more of a challenge with the time-crunches.
I've been considering off and on getting a job in the midst of all this, but that's what the dog training courses are for... I think I'm going to focus on studying and helping with the house stuff/taking care of these poor critters in regards to food/vet for now, but I'm keeping it in the back of my mind.
Gah. As far as otherrrrs...
I hope school isn't being too mean to ya, Vines, and that you got settled real good Tigs - haven't heard anything in a while and I'm gettin real worried! Keira, moving sucks but I hope you're nearly done, I know the sooner you finish with that noise the better and you'll love it when you're all set up in yer new place. Kyra, feel better, I know doctors visits suck and so does feeling sick (I'm still avoiding visiting the doc myself, have purposely let everyone forget about it so that I don't have to deal with that mess). Feel better soon, and Tal, good luck with next Monday, I hope they manage to help you real good! No more bad days where trying to eat makes you flat out miserable, or at least I hope as much for you. It really sucks (and kinda hurts) to know you're in serious pain. Rainer I think I remember you talking about the stables and horses being a little in flux, I hope that's settled all proper, and SunBlind I hope you're still doing alright; weren't you busy-busy with work? Remember to try those long baths and an afternoon nap when you get the chance! And I hope the others will be able to poke around some soon as well; MoonBlaze and BookWyrm and all the rest. I know they haven't had much of a chance to play, hopefully the next adoption will shine some luck on them! And I really hope poor Foxxy gets settled in good and proper, you keep getting whisked off so much that you're too busy living life to really enjoy it!
Oi. I tell you, Life; can't live with it, would be dead without it!
