FINALLY!!!!!!

I experienced the best feeling today: walking out of my last final for this semester. YEY!!!!! Let the Christmas season now begin (since maybe now I'll have time to prepare for it). The best thing about finals being over: Finals are the only thing that make preparing for and putting on a dance recital for 220 kids seem fun and easy. Kandace and I ran a bunch or errands tonight for the recital. It was SO NICE to drive around, and not have to worry about when I was going to get home to read another chapter. Thursday is our dance recital, and then.....I can start reading the twilight series!!!! We'll see how that goes. Found this fun tag on my friends' blog, and thought it seemed like a fun one to play along to....
Who are you?
I AM: a mom and wife
I WANT: to live the life Heavenly Father wants me to live
I HAVE: everything I need
I MISS: having a baby in my house
I FEAR: my children making bad choices
I HEAR: my kids playing downstairs
I SEARCH: for RN jobs on IHC's jobline (and I don't graduate for 15 months, just want to know all of my options, ya know????:)
I WONDER: what opportunities life will bring to me
I REGRET: not going into nursing right out of high school
I LOVE: going to Jazzercise
I FORGIVE: those that have hurt me and thank them for teaching me.
I ACHE: for some alone time with my husband
I ALWAYS: tell my girls the same thing every day when they get out of the car to go to school (it's this little "between us" kind of poem. I'll have to elaborate later)
I TRY: to put myself in the shoes of others
I AM NOT: patient
I SEEM: impatient
I KNOW: That Heavenly Father answers prayers
I FEEL: Like a great big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders (until Jan. 12th when school starts again)
I DANCE: every Thursday night when I teach my classes (which I am so thankful for)
I DREAM: about what the future has in store
I GIVE: all of my time to things that I feel passionately about
I LISTEN: to kids fight more than I would like
I SING: POORLY!!!! But everyone else in this house sings GREAT!!!!
I LAUGH: at Josh (when he is purposely doing things to make me laugh), SO......I laugh WITH him not AT him. He makes life fun.
I CAN'T: sit still for more than 2 minutes
I WRITE: on my blog because I love it
I CRY: when I am happy, sad, mad, frustrated, or when I feel the spirit (I cry a lot)
I SLEEP: 7-8 hours a night. Usually have to, or I'll get sick, BUT......lately with school, I have been getting by on less. WELL.....I have also been sick for a week.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: kind, especially in fast food lines (refer back to previous posts)
I SEE: My dog watching my kids play (we love our little Pixi)
I NEED: a break!!!!!
I SHOULD: Go get my girls' costumes organized

I agree... I was so happy to turn in my finals on Thursday and Friday last week... it was a happy feeling indeed.

This post looks like fun, I will have to try it sometime... not tonight though, I have a pile of math tests to correct!

It really is such a great feeling - and such an awesome accomplishment!

Now enjoy the season with your family, and don't think another minute about school until it starts again :)

I'm happy that you will get to enjoy the holidays now! I remember the weight that came off of my shoulders after taking finals and I wasn't a Mom at the time or in nursing school which I'm sure is much harder!

Cindy said...

Yeah! Now you can have some fun for a few weeks!

Mike and Dee said...
