I lost a whole nights sleep this past week and I am still paying for it. I normally have a hard time waking up in the morning unless someone else wakes me not that I am a heavy sleeper I just get into deep sleep where only someone can really wake me and usually it is not a problem. For some reason I just can't get back into the swing of things. My sister had her baby and we were all afraid to go to sleep because we didn't want to miss it! So we were up all night last Tuesday and of course because I have all this energy lately I was up all day! As most of you know that not having any sleep in 48 hours isn't very fun but I kind of thought it was... until now! I woke up about 10 minutes before I had to be in at work, walked in 10 minutes late to work which at daycare wasn't a huge deal but when I get my official job after graduation... I will pay for walking in late. It is so exhausting for one having to make up hours of sleep without actually having the time to make up those hours but I still have full energy (which is very odd). I think I am excited for a couple reasons 1) of course the NEW BABY!! and 2) things in my life are finally starting to settle down (only to pick right back up). I warned you... my life is so different than a lot of others you may know and that is why I think it is awesome to be a blogger for IUE, I can finally tell you my story, and hopefully help you through your years at IUE. I have no officially introduced myself... I am Amanda but of course you know that :) I work in daycare (looking for a new job), blog for IUE, blog for me, blog for Tupperware, sell Tupperware, and squeeze time in there to do some crafty things such has making bags or other sorts of things- you will hear about this later.  It is hard being a college student and I thought high school was hard! The economy just keeps getting worse and we are supposed to find jobs? Well I can tell you that for one, I will not be doing daycare forever, so hopefully things get better. Do you find it funny? We hear about the economy and we see it on television, we see other people and their cutbacks but what about us? I really have not seen a change in my life personally but yet I see it everyday. I am starting to think that people are just being scared and it is making things worse than what they really are but I said before "what do I know" so... what do I know? Now that I am off topic and really I have no topic on this blog but I just wanted to update for the week incase anything new had happened or anyone wanted to see what I was up to... not a whole lot :) Thanks for reading! Have a good day!
