It's been a while...

since my last post - about a month or so actually. I guess life got busy or I got lazy, or maybe a little of both. Hubby is doing really great in nursing school, although it's been a challenge to say the least. His first professor was ill prepared for the semester which caused so many problems that the students were practically revolting and had to organize discussions with the professor and the dean since almost all of the students were failing class. Luckily all of their hard work paid off and after the final all students ended up passing but for some it was a very close call.
The munchkin is doing incredibly well. He's 1 1/2 but the size of a two year old and really working on talking. We've had some major schedule changes around the house and as a result it seems like he's hitting his terrible twos a bit early. Hubby and I have been dealing with tantrums, screaming, crying and even hitting. I'm thinking (because the munchkin seems to hit me most) that it be partly due to my extended work hours lately. As many of you moms might now babies/toddlers do not take well to routine changes, they like things to stay the same and stay on schedule. I've been quite beside myself trying to figure out a way to deal with the munchkin and these outbursts and have been looking through all my baby books, reading magazines and checking out sites. I've found some good advice but I was sort of hoping for something that would just instantly click and fix everything. That doesn't seem to be happening and as my mother pointed out, this is just a phase and it too shall pass. God I hope she's right.
Work for me lately has been really busy, which is probably the main reason for my recent lack of blogging. I've had several jobs that were back to back with really tight deadlines. Of course the first job with a tight deadline was so incredibly unrealistic in it's schedule that we've completely missed all deadlines and are going to blow delivery entirely. That same job also happens to have been with the one client that I find most annoying to deal with. I don't know how to get away from this client, I wish I didnt' have to deal with them on such a regular basis because they just torture me. Almost everyone from the company is rude, pushy, demanding, insulting and most of all points fingers when things go wrong. At least I've had a small reprieve from them this last week. I might pull my hair out if I had to continue to work with them... and I don't have a lot of hair to waste.
My health has been pretty good, I've actually been trying to work in some exercise to my day... finally. I think it's helping to tone me up a bit and lose some weight or at least keep me at a steady weight. We've been taking family bike rides and I'm loving that. It's such a great cardio workout, and I can be with my boys. I read an article recently (that my mother pointed out to me) that mentioned how a cause of hair loss and thinning can be attributed to wearing it up in tight ponytails too often (which I do ALL THE TIME), and not brushing it enough which stimulates the hair follicle. This might be part of my problem because my hair has definitely thinned in the last two years and I'm sure I've lost some of it too, but part of my problem might be due to my hypothyroidism... not to mention my recent gallbladder and pancreas issues. What ever the cause may be I'm doing what ever it takes to try to correct the problem and get some of my hair back!
I'm exhausted and need to go to sleep... but at least I'm back in the blogging pool.
