This journal is friends only. Be my friend & see what I write. That would be things about being a mother, planning a wedding, figuring out my life, pursuing my dreams, growing up, learning to accept & embrace failure and being kinder to myself. Last entry is always public :)

My last week at the school has finally arrived. I'm still completely swamped with my order of 22 work vests and most likely won't get it done before Easter. I've been stressing about it the last couple of weeks, working on them like a crazy person. I kept thinking that I would be able to get them done and graduate before my beauty school begins but as it so often happens in my life, the children have been sick and son has taken the "terrible twos" a little too literally and keeps destroying the house whenever he is not at day care or sleeping.

I have Fridays free at the beauty school, so I will just have to go back to work on the vests on Fridays until they are all done. It's a bit of a bummer, but there's only so much I can get done within a day.

Son's crazy out of control toddler behaviour is making me so frustrated and tired that by the time I finally get him to settle to his bed and fall asleep, I'm so knackered myself that working on school stuff is the last thing on my mind. I literally fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I feel like I have no energy left at all. I've been wrung dry. I was hoping there was a last minute squeeze in me, so that I would've been able to pull all-nighters and finish those stupid vests, but that's just not going to happen.

I'm so tired that I can't even get properly excited about my new school starting in a week. I look forward to it, but there's just so much that needs to get done before the big day. So much stress and so many changes. And I know it'll be difficult for the rest of the family because my days are so much longer. I'm worried how they will all get along in the evenings. How boyfriend will handle all this additional work that falls on his shoulders. I feel a little bit guilty too. I know I'm making a dream come true and going for once in the right direction in my life, but it does put a strain on our family both financially and otherwise too. I just try to make most of my short evenings with the kids, take care of putting them to bed at evenings so that boyfriend can rest after hanging out solo with the kids for two hours.

Bright spot in my day was the arrival of my nail polish order. I know a lot of people love the Hunger Games books and have been excitedly waiting for the movie. I still need to read the books in question, but I've been waiting for the China Glaze nail polish collection inspired by the Huger Games. Since I saw the first promo picture in a nail blog, I've been looking forward to seeing the bright orange shimmer on my nails. Today is the day. China Glaze Riveting is my new favourite polish. I am now wearing it with black crackle and my nails remind me of lava that has already hardened a bit on the surface. Amazing. My nails can fuel my energy tomorrow at school.
