... and I don't know where that time went. I seriously feel as if the days are flying by at warp speed. Olive is nearly 2 months old.. Omri a true 2 and a half. I go back to work in 4 days, and I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to it. It's been a good 10 weeks, and most of me feels ready to get out into a new environment. I am going to miss having tons of free time, even though it never really felt 'free', I always was doing something. Having two children has gotten the best of my energy and focus. In that respect, I am very glad to go back to work, and glad that they will be with Frankie every night, he's much more suited to be a stay-at-home parent.
It's funny because Frankie just walked into the room and I lost my train of thought. I don't like to be watched when I am writing blogs. I know that he will just read it in a little bit, but right now I guess my thoughts and feelings are uber-vulnerable.
Anyways, me and Omri did a little shopping run today. Old Navy, Kohl's, and Babies "R" Us. I always like taking Omri with me on these errands, even though she's starting to act out a little bit when she can't get something she wants. Highlights that I got: Cute black flats from O.N. for under 10 bucks, and an awesome Melissa and Doug block-style puzzle, which can produce 6 different puzzle pictures. I managed to sneak that in the cart when Omri wasn't looking, something I am getting pretty good at. Otherwise, she will try to open it or drop it, which isn't great when it's a pack of cinnamon rolls and the cardboard splits open. You should see her at Kroger. God forbid if I walk by the sushi counter and she doesn't get a pack for herself.
So my countdown on my status for professional school is less than one week now. Super.Nervous. Not going to dwell on it, I've done pretty well thus far.
Now Frankies turned on American Idol and I just can't focus on anything, perhaps I shall resume this later.

it's been awhile
so I have been slacking on starting this whole blog thing. I know Sarah made at least one comment that I was to spend some quality time with the keyboard this past weekend in Columbus, but alas, the kids sure kept us busy!
I am currently taking four online classes this semester: Medical Terminology, Psychobiology, Prevention and Control of Disease, and Geological Hazards. None of these classes are required at all for my major, I am actually taking them for 'fun', since this is my last semester of my full scholarship, and I figured I'd better put it to good use! I feel bad though, I took online classes because I knew that they would be easier to manage with my newborn baby schedule, but I do not feel as if I am learning to my full capacity, since i am not 'attending' lectures each day. Oh well, I can only hope that next semester will bring me a new courseload that will finally put me in a forward direction in my educational career.
I find out in a mere 23 days whether or not I recieve an interview for admission to the professional division of the College of Pharmacy. That basically means that if I get an interview, I am one step closer to graduating with a Doctor of Pharmacy. The competition is fierce, usually around 250 people apply for I think around 90 spots. Last year, I did not even get to the interview portion, which I had anticipated since my GPA wasn't a 4.0. Although my GPA still isn't a 4.0, it's much better than it was, since I made all A's this past fall. I know that if I can get an interview, I will have a very good chance to make the cut. I know that they interview around 150 people, so a little over half of the candidates get in, but I am very confidant in those types of situations, and I think that I can pretty much charm the pants off anyone.
It's funny to think about school for me though. When I began college, I was a straight B student. I didn't really try, probably because I was on this high horse after having an exceptinal high school run. Then, I go and have two babies, and I am doing pretty darn good! Most people think that I would be in the most difficult situation to make it through school right now, but I think I almost thrive on the stress. I like to be busy, always occupied. I am actually looking forward to going back to work in 3 weeks. I hate being couped in the house! I get cabin fever, and I find myself making little trips here and there to make the time pass.
Omri learned how to do shadow puppets on our bedroom wall tonight. Her favorites: bird, tiger, and a 'dinoraur'(as she says). She was laughing so much that she threw up! As for Olive, she slept for 5 hours last night(bless her heart!), and has loved laying with her lullaby seahorse(like the gloworm). Frankie, is in iPod heaven with his new iTouch, and is considering starting a running routine. We went to Target today to find the Nike thing that keeps track of your runs, but they didn't have it. I've thought about beginning an exercise plan, maybe to tone up a bit, but I have to say I am not good at keeping up with exercise. I feel like the girls are exercise enough some days! We'll see!
I'm off to play with this new repeat-letter Sudoku book that I got for $1 at Barnes and Nobles.
