Ok this is really long and if you make it to end thank you for listening. Please pray for me, because I'm not sure I'll survive the weekend!

I'm going to completely lose my mind!!! I have a ton of homework this weekend. So I'm going to be at my mom tommorrow and Sunday. I have to go teach a mini-lesson this afternoon! And all of this translates into, my house won't get cleaned and my laundry won't get done, and then next week DH and I will be fighting because I didn't get his clothes washed. Also I'm highly upset with one of my teachers because all she's done all semester is tell us, don't let school and teaching consume your life, yet she's making **** sure school consumes our lives now, especially those of us that have a family. I think she forgets that most of us have her for 3 classes this semester, and well one of her classes is the work of 2!!!! I'm taking 17hrs this semester, please come on woman!! Don't be handing out a projject for a final that we weren't expecting less than 2 weeks before finals begin. I have a presentation due this morning in my geography class, and its done! But I have 3 portfolios and the rest of my thematic unit due next week, a take home test, and 2 other assignments! And now I have this other project to work on! SO yea I feel like I'm losing my mind, I'm completely stressed and well DH is unsupportive and not understanding, and doesn't know how to help clean! he thinks sitting in his recliner or computer chair playing video games all day, every day he's not at school is perfectly aceceptable, unless he's outside doing yard work! HE'll actually make up yard work to get out of helping me in the house. OH did I mention I've got to make up a geography test that I missed because the health department was so SLOW! monday! Ok rant over I think. And I have a final due, next week for which I have to read a Newberry Award Winner and due a powerpoint over!

Now for the prayer request. Ladies could you please pray for me, that I get all of this done and I make it through the next 2.5 weeks, because then its summer break! I also pray for me to be able to relax some. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure is through the roof the last couple of days. Also I almost completely lost it, on my teacher yesterday when she gave us the final project. I seriously forsee myself losing my mind. One of my classmates could tell how hard I was fighting not to lose it yesterday and started rubbing my back. All I wanted to do was scream at her, do you not tell us to not let school/teaching consume our lives, but yet you are making darn sure that it does. Of course I go to a Christian school, so yea keeping my mouth shut when I'm that angry keeps me out of big time trouble.

HUGS! I'm sorry that school is rough right now.

OMG, I shuddered reading that you are taking 17 hours, yikes girl, that would be hard on any level, but having your teacher do that on top of it really stinks...

Hoping that the next few weeks fly by and you can get everything done, and that you can enjoy summer with that amazing little bean in there

And as Candace said - HOORAY for being 12 weeks

Cheryl,you are hilarious!

Amy I am only taking 4 hours this semester and that's been more than enough to keep me busy on top of my job!! i know my time is coming going back full time though! Hope it goes by alright.

I will definitely pray for you! I did full time work and school for 5 years and yeah its no fun! Nursing school was the same way, all consuming! I'd have like 12 chapters to read, careplans to do, clinical rotations, labs, not to mention the sheer amount of stuff you have to really learn and apply in a week, on top of working full time! Last semester I did all that while being pregnant in my first trimester as well so I feel your pain! Just take everything one day, one project at a time and breath! And thank goodness its only 2.5 weeks left! You're so close!
