I'm trying to get my act together over here, so I haven't been blogging much.

Finals are coming up fast... about 3 weeks.  One of those weeks is Thanksgiving recess, so I've been starting my studying.  Between that and research papers, my plate has been quite full!

On a more depressing note... I got a SUPER expensive heat/electricity bill today... it made me pretty sad.  I despise NYSEG... they rip you off for the heating and electric.  It sucks.

Nick and I are doing great... he's working, I'm doing my thing in school, and one of us is always here for Nicky.  I like it that way, even though Nick and I don't get to see each other very much lately.  I live for school breaks - then I have mornings with him.

My parents are official:  They are looking for a house in our area... I think they're looking at Sayre, Pennsylvania, which is about 20 minutes from here.  Mom's retired and my dad's retiring on New Year's Eve.  I'm hoping they'll be here sometime during 2009... I know it'll take them awhile to sell the house:  the market stinks.  However, their moving up here is the light at the end of the tunnel... I need family close by.  Maybe I won't feel so homesick.

Nick is trying to start up a band over here... the music is in him.  Apparently, he needs a million hobbies, like golf and being in a band, to keep him sane.  I find it a little selfish, but what can you do?  I just need to find myself a hobby.  This way I won't feel so left out.

Oh well.  I have to get to getting... time to clean up.

On a more serious note...

My biological clock is pounding away... I've had babies on the brain for about a month now.  My friend Mary upstairs just had her son in the beginning of September, and I've spent a lot of time with him in the six weeks.  The more I'm around him, the more I miss when Nicky was that little and the more I want one!

Clearly, I know that this isn't the route I should be taking right now:  I'm in college, we're not well-off by any means, and we already have 2 kids between us.  I just can't explain why all of a sudden I have this ridiculously strong need to have another baby.  Nicky will be 4 in February, maybe that's part of it.  He goes potty, wipes his own butt (pretty much) and is a big boy! 

I know that I have plenty of time to have more kids:  I'm 23 years old, for goodness sake!  I guess I'm just confused.  I know that having another baby right now would end my college career for at LEAST a semester.  Normally, this wouldn't be the end of the world, except that I have student loans that will have to be paid off if I stop continuously going.  I also know that financially it wouldn't be wise; we need to be sure we're more comfortable before adding to the family.

BUT I WANT ONE!!!  :::stomps feet:::
