MAIDS & MONEY & SCHOOL OH MY!

I need a maid. Actually, what I need is to have a few days off to clean my house and someone to watch Cohen so he doesn't go behind where I just cleaned and then mess it all up again! haha. Our apartment is literally a disaster. If I wasn't so embarrassed by the way it looks, I would post pictures to show you how messy it is. I am so overwhelmed by the mess that I don't even know where to start! I have limited space in this tiny apartment and the problem is we have WAY WAY WAY too much stuff. We need to downsize and get rid of a lot of stuff, and take a bunch of things to my mom to store in her basement. But as you know, Jerimy is rarely home from working so much. I work, then come home and play with Cohen, or feed him or whatever he needs, try to play with him and keep him occupied, make dinner, and when he goes to bed I do my school work. When do I have time to clean? Do you know how hard it is to clean with a nine month old baby crawling around everywhere getting into EVERYTHING and trying to make sure he doesn't find something on the floor that he will automatically put in his mouth (no matter what it is) and the possible choke on? I can't do all that and clean and make dinner at the same time. I am not super mom. I am sure there are super moms out there who think doing all that is no big deal, but for me it is a major task that I can rarely accomplish. So, like I said before, I need a maid.

I hate money. I really don't like it all. Money is hard to come by these days. I can't wait to get my school money and taxes back. I want so badly to take Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University classes but they are $100 and we just don't have that extra money to spend right now. Plus it is every Thursday night for the next 13 weeks and Jerimy cannot guarantee he will be off work for that. I'm still debating though, because I know those classes will help out so much.

School has really really sucked this week. And it's only the first week. Jcc is the most unhelpful (is that even a word, unhelpful? oh well) in the world. No one tells you anything you need to know, and then they expect you to know everything you need for classes, and book and financial aid. It makes no sense. I have wanted to give up on school this week and I never feel like that. I actually like school. I like to learn new things and be challenged and think outside the box. I am not a fan of homework or tests but I do love to get good grades. I'm taking biology and intro to computers this semester both online. Biology is kicking my butt. I suck at science and math and this class is very rigorous and I am intimidated by the course load. Also, we are not using the blackboard school website for my computer class, we are using another website, myitlab.com. Well guess what I discovered when I tried to register for that website last night...the website is not compatible with Macs or Safari (the web browser for macs incase u didnt know) and guess what i have...A MAC!!! Why wasnt this information provided in the syllabus?? If you know this website wont work if you dont have windows, then can you please give this information out before I waste my time and my school money??? I spent $112 on my computer class book, which cannot be returned once it is opened, well I had to open it to get a code to register for the website, and then guess what, I cant use the freaking website!!! ahhhhhh is anything ever going to go my way?

So enough complaining...I am going to try to be positive now and see if someone at JCC can help me figure out this problem. Cohen has been very good playing in his crib and not whining this whole time while i've been sitting here typing this in the floor of his room. So im going to play with my sweet baby now!
