It really is a nice Wednesday! It has been in the 60's, although the hurricane force winds makes it feel significantly cooler but at least its sunny.  To kick of the spring that I know is truly months away I decided to take our dog to a local nature trail to get in some of that lovely spring air.  This nature walk turned into a mud bog so tack on two more things to my todo list: wash dog, wash tub.  I did manage do drag my lack of energy butt out for a job and I have been spending to rest of the day cleaning and getting caught up on all the stuff I put off last week.  I am sure there are many women out there that would appreciate a day like this, to feel caught up on the daily upkeep, spend a little time outside, peruse a magazine in the down time.  I actually have days like this a lot seeing as how I only work 3 nights a week.  I do love not working a normal m-f 9-5 job, it allows for me to be home more.  But don't be jealous because the problem is that DH is the studying...all the time.  We knew this when we sat down to discuss the potential negatives of this lifestyle, but man do they study a lot.  On good days when I am home John will get back from campus around 6, we have a quick dinner, and then he pulls out the books, bad days he stays on campus all night.  Around exam time he leaves for campus Saturday morning and comes back home Monday after the test.  With DH being away so much it gets pretty lonely, not unbearable but to the point where I spend my day talking to the dog and looking up fun things we can do together.  The biggest thing is that I need to find something to do with my time, it used to be shopping but that got to be a costly habit.
