KG's Hideaway

So the last 7 days have been alot different than the last 7 years.

I guess I'll describe it in reverse. Yesterday, Ryan, Kyra and I drove over to her mom and step-dad's house. They were giving Kyra a laptop that her step-dad got from his work. Very nice gesture, but it was also very akward. Kyra really resisted conversation and it pretty much left me and her mom to talk with Ryan commenting here and there. She and I get along fine now so that part of it wasn't akward but I was VERY uncomfortable with Kyra's reaction... especially when they brought out her half sister, Enara. Kyra pretty much acted like she was holding an alien. We all snapped some pictures of her holding the baby, but I guarantee you Kyra didn't say 50 words in the 45 minutes or so that we were there.

As you can see, Kyra isn't too happy about it. On a good note, she has lost almost all of the weight she gained in California. She's eating much healthier.

My neice spent 4 days with us last week and I had a blast. I took her to the park for her first SLIDE. Scared the shit out of her but she laughed at the bottom.

One of the mornings I was keeping her, I popped some corn and sat down to eat some. So I let her try it! She loved it and couldn't get enough.

After all of that, she was pretty pooped out. Ryan was already in my bed for her 'morning nap' so why not put the baby in there.

I started back to school this week and it doesn't totally suck. I skated through nursing school without cracking a book. I'm not exaggerating at all. It was all about paying attention to the lectures and acing practicums and clinicals. To be honest, it wasn't that I was just "that smart," but more that my life was just a mess. Marshall and I had decided to split but making it happen was creating havoc at home. That's not how it's currently going. Craig is so supportive but my nose is in that book alot because I'm scared to death of being wrong. I'm slightly ocd with a side helping of A.D.D. Not the greatest combination. Anyway.

My first test is a week from Thursday. Lovely.
