I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

I feel like that poor little train just working so hard to get up the hill. Oh the load is heavy and do I have enough power to carry it up? Hopefully I'll be saying "I knew I could, I knew I could, I knew I could" in May. As one might be able to tell from my lack of posts, I've been a bit busy. Didn't leave the library yesterday until 11pm. The chickens managed to escape briefly, but Mr. Monkey beat, I mean, persuaded them, back into submission and cages. I'm treating myself next week for my birthday (well, it might not happen next week, we'll see what the Fates bring my way by then) to a massage at a spa here in Waco. I'll let everyone know how that goes (you know, the spa in Waco, not the massage).

I'm more excited than normal for my birthday this year. The reason? A friend of mine is pregnant and finds out the sex of her baby on my birthday!!! I'm hoping that means it's a girl. If it weren't for that joyous event I would have probably forgotten about my birthday this year. Too much stuff is going on. I have to admit I feel every year my age if not double. This is the first year I can honestly say that I do feel another year older. The past year has had a few moments of 'guess what?! you're not a teenager anymore'. But that's okay. The only thing that isn't okay is I can't imagine what I'll feel like when I'm 48. I already feel like hell some days. I'm not sure how my parents do it. I mean, I'm only in my 20s and there are days I can barely drag myself out of bed because I'm either exhausted, don't have the mental energy, hurt all over or all three together.

But those lovely details are not ones to worry with now. What do I have to worry with? A memo due Wednesday, Research Assignments due on the 9th and 13th, another memo due on the 15th (TAX DAY!) and then...dum dum dum...finals on the 25th and 28th (then the 1st of May). Oh holy cow! How did those get here so fast. Granted all of this is next month, but next month is only a day and some change away.

This being said, it's bed time. No more looking ahead. Time to try to catch some shut eye so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed (like bunnies! oh I love the chocolate bunnies!) in the morning.
