One year Later

Hello Strangers.
So to tell the truth I was kidnapped lazy. I completely forgot about writing on here, and that's basically it. I don't know why either, I thought I really enjoyed doing it in my spare time. Oh well, I'm back now and there is SO much to talk about. Where do I even start?

For one. My four year old is turning FIVE. He is so smart and going to be going to kindergarten this year. It is amazingly unbelievable. I thought these days would never come. I thought he would be my baby forever (he will be!) and he would never grow up. But he has been this whole time no matter how badly I don't want to realize it. He is going to "big kid" school, as he calls it. He can ride the big kid bus, which I am going to put off as long as I can! It just breaks my heart while it explodes with joy. It really is the most bittersweet feeling I have ever felt. To know that you have raised that little baby, who couldn't even hold there head up when you met, to being a rumblin' tumblin' Five year old. Craziness. This is also the first year I have not had his party planned by this time yet. All I have is a date, June 30th and a theme, Cars 2. I really need to get the ball rolling considering I only have 29 days left & 28 days until he is FIVE. I'm having a hard time deciding what to get him for a present too. I usually already have it bought by now. He is getting a bike for sure. But I also want to get him a learning pad as well. I'm stuck between the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer and the VTech InnoTab. Anyone have a yay or nay experience with either? They seem to be neck and neck with reviews I have read.

I also decided what I want to go to college for! Who would have thought?! I want to get a bachelors degree in political science. I already applied to the college I want to go to and got applied for my finical aid. My application is still pending, I have to turn in a copy of my W2 & tax transcript. I'm actually mailing those today! I was approved for Pell, but still don't know about Hope, but hopefully I get it too! I plan on going full-time and taking classes during the summer so that I can be done in three years instead of four. But we will see how those plans go. I'm really excited to be going though, so fingers crossed everything goes as planned!

Other than that, everything has stayed the same! I was also looking for a new job a year ago, still am. lol. I haven't found anything with day shift and that pays more than I make. I feel there is really no point in quitting my current job if I may be leaving for something that is worse. Hopefully something turns up soon though. I seem to be having more good than bad luck lately, so that's defiantly a positive!

Y'all will hear from me soon, I swear!

There are some videos on youtube that actually demonstrate comparing the innotab and leappad. I think leappad won if I remember correctly. Definitely worth checking out. I think the title was just something like innotab vs. leappad.
Hope that helps!

Thanks christina! I did check it out. The only difference between is the leappad has a camera. But we're going with the innotab, it's faster than the leappad. Even though I like the look of the leappad better, lol. Who knows ill proably change my mind again!
