little miss crankypants

i've been kind of crabby lately. just slightly unpleasant to people who i really do like. why??? i am not on here to complain today. no. i will not complain about the amount of studying i am continuously doing. i am here blogging to remind myself that life is good. my classes are almost all done... actually only 2 days of new material to learn in my veryimportantclass, and then review classes. it's almost Christmas, almost time for holidays and RELAXATION, time for steve and angela's wedding, time to sit and think, time to take a quiet, candle-lit bubblebath, time for myself again.

as i was on the internet today [procrastinating] i was blog-stalking some old friends from bbi (dana and scams) and they both made me realize the need to reflect on positive things, the things i like, the blessings that God has given me....
yes, i've been cranky. i wrote a test today that i was very prepared for, yet, apparently, not prepared enough (it was stinkin hard). i've just realized that i haven't had time to do one of my favourite things - to make stuff. i haven't crafted lately, i haven't scrapbooked or crocheted or painted or drawn or made cards. i have however been experimental in my cooking - i've been on sort of a cottage cheese kick and seeing what i can make with it, which is weird because i used to hate cottage cheese.
so that's my problem is it? i need to make something. create something. and stand back and enjoy it. ..... hmmmm, okay. good idea. thanks.

Oh man... I get really cranky when the house is messy, and when I can't create. Alas, when our house gets messy it always means my sewing stuff is blocked in!

I hope you get to create something SOON, because that really does make you feel a lot better - which I actually think is pretty nifty. And a bubble bath sounds pretty stinkin awesome, too. Man I wish we had a tub!

It's okay to be cranky. I got that way with classes but then we had two weeks off. I hope you can take time for yourself to relax and rest over the holidays. How many more years of school are left? You can persevere. I believe in you!

Amen Sister. Amen. You're a good person Julia... a dang good person - the grumpiness stinks, but I'm trying to focus on the fact that grumpy does not equal not a good person... that always becomes my issue when I get stuck in my grumpy ruts. As I look at the foe-toes of you and the ole Polinskinator (aka Ryan - I just made that name up on the fly - can you tell?) I am again reminded of how awesome I thought (and still do think) you guys were (are)... as they say on the ole CB's... keep on truckin...! Peace out yo!
