Sometimes the best decisions you can make are the hardest to make. 

I took a leap and decided to reduce my credit load by almost 50% this semester meaning I won’t graduate until December.

I’m happier then I’ve been with school since my first and 2nd semester. I’m concentrating on writing papers I actually enjoy writing, and I get to take 2 classes in the fall I wouldn’t have gotten to take otherwise in the place of some really awful courses. 

Having time to catch my breath is priceless.

I don’t believe in Valentines day, all it has ever made me feel is sad. I’m well on my way to being married 10 years (9 in August!!!) and somehow SOMEHOW I still don’t feel worthwhile as a woman on Valentines day, even though I have an amazing husband. 

I have 2 girls who love holidays, hearts, pink, red, and things that glitter. So to combat this we are celebrating the dreaded horrible holiday. I will make something that is both red, and heart shaped for breakfast. I’m headed out to the store tonight to get them valentines (I put it off because I hate the day). I swear though, Valentines day is the worst holiday ever invented, love is required everyday, not just on February 14.

Related to that: Episodes of friends cheer me up no matter how sad or sick I feel. I might watch a marathon of it tonight while eating chocolates out of a heart shaped box. That’s legit right?
