Ah, where to begin.
I'm now officially single, winging it on my own (with baby daddy in tow), Delaney wearing me out more and more every day. Getting up for *every* night feeding and *every* early morning "I want to change my own diaper!" ordeal on my own is a very big change. Before, I would take the nights and Patrick just knew he had to get up with her in the morning (I would follow suit a little later). Pulling this "double duty" is so much more difficult than people realize, but the thing is, I don't mind! I'm exhausted, can't sleep, frustrated, and alone in this! But I do it for HER. All for HER, not me! If it were about me, she would go to a babysitter and I would go party. That's not the case (I would probably miss her top much anyway).
Another difference? A new-found passion for cloth diapers. Oh wow, don't get me started. I may not know all the technical terms or all the proper names for all the items and materials, but I do know I love hunting down material to make said diapers, free-handing my own patterns, and sticking them on my model (a.k.a. Roo). I'm actually confident in myself that I will be able to knock these things out one by one once I get my sewing machine. Just you wait, world! I found something I may actually be decent at!
Speaking of sewing machines. In anticipation for pay day, and the day my beloved Singer comes home, I've already taken out a pair of scrub pants I bought on sale, that happened to be too small. Pulled out the elastic and pinned it for a drawstring. Yes, I can be obsessive. This isn't necessarily a fault, just... A trait. Whether good or bad, I'm stuck with it (it's not like I mind).
School. I started college back on March 16th, 2009. I'm working on a two year program for an Associate's of Science in Veterinary Technology. Quite a mouthful. Clinical Pathology and Principals of Disease start on Monday. After these classes? It's onto Surgery and Nursing (then extern!). But that's a whole blog on it's own. I love my classes. I love my classmates (*cough* Kym and Danella *cough*). They're amazing. Just a phone call away if they're needed! Whether it's asking if we had homework or blubbering about my personal life, I now they'd be there for me. Now *that's* a good feeling.
Ah, well, China Doll is finished staring out the window and is cuddling the crap out of me, so I suppose I'll wrap this up and go to bed (plus it's like 2 am or something of the sorts!). I'll finish up by saying this is the blog I've always wanted. I've never been able to keep a journal, and I suppose this will be it. Now, time to cuddle with my China, watch my daughter sleep, and fall asleep to my iPod.
As always,
Sara

Sooo I lied...
LOL. I was hoping I would post on here every day, about just everything, but alas... I am lazy. In fact, I am so tired, lazy, exhausted, hungry, etc., etc. right now, that I don't think I can even make this a complete paragraph. Bed time for me :)

Very first...
This is my very first post, on my very first blog. Hopefully, if you stumble across this, you'll subscribe... I'll try to update every few days, but not about me, per say... Just about vents and topics in general. There will also be updates on Delaney, of course!
Happy reading!
