Breaking the silence

Just wanted everyone to know that I will be breaking the silence on the blog as soon as possible.

I will be writing my exam on Thursday, June 5 and my life will be a lot less hectic. As for right now I spend all my free time at the gym on studying, my house is a disaster, my dishes are not done and my bathroom looks like a bomb went off in it.

On a happy note, my kids are doing great with all things considered and the amount of studying I do.
I also will be heading to Edmonton for the weekend for some classes. This will be the first time I was away for night since my kids have been born other then going to the hospital to have Micah. This will not be a vacation by any stretch of the imagination but It is getting away. I will have 29 hours of classes in 2 1/2 days, hurray for my brain.

I will definitely be posting when I return home.

It is 8:30 in the morning and I am sitting at the computer while my kids are running around playing, I am trying to wrap my head around the events of the past week in this house.
All the craziness started on Saturday morning when I received a call from Calgary E.M.S at 4:00a.m, Nathan had been out with one of his friends for the night and they had been in a car accident. I arrived at Foothills Hospital at 4:40 in the morning only to have to wait about 20 minutes to see him.
Not going into any details I spent most of the day at the hospital with Nathan and his friend trying to make sure that they were okay and trying to be a voice for them. They were treated very poorly by the hospital, I left for my gym class at 9:00 a.m and returned at 12:00 and they still hadn't been feed or given anything to drink. A couple hours later they were both discharged into my care, Nathan's friend is from B.C so the hospital left him in my care and he stayed with us until Monday night. So I spent the weekend taking care of 2 very sore and in rough shape boys, they first 24 hrs was the hardest because I was on concussion watch but after that it got easier.
On Monday morning I headed out to the airport to pick up my mom who came out to help. My mom spent 2 days with us her and left this morning. She was a God send, even if she didn't do much for Nathan she gave me a much needed break by taking care of the kids and helping with house work. So mom if you are reading THANK YOU very much for your time and help.

Now we are back to "normal" life and I am starting to panic because my Exam is in 3 weeks and I need 5 weeks to study, I am still not past the first page.

If anyone has any advice on how to get back in the grove of studying please let me know. I graduated 8 years ago and feel like I am a fish out of water with the whole studying concept.
