Exhausted...just literally exhausted.

I'm drained in every aspect.
My feet are swollen, my belly is huge, my brain is mush after taking major exams this week, and I am tired of feeling as though five hours of sleep is something to celebrate.
I miss my family, my mom, my sister, my friends. I miss traveling to see family and having a clean house and participating in church activities. I miss playing board games with friends or having date nights with Jason. I want to see a movie and go out for sushi! I can't wait to "live" again. I feel as though I have sacrificed so much to make it thru this nursing program (as has ALL of my family--especially Jason) and I'm just so tired. I just wish I could express to all of you how I think of you, miss you, and want nothing more than to return to the life I loved...one without homework and tests and a chaotic schedule that keeps me away. I lose sleep to be with my kids and pray to God that they won't remember this time in their lives when I had to be gone or had to study or spend hours in a library or in front of the computer typing up papers. I just hope they will know one day that I did this for them, too. They are my motivation to keep going when I just don't feel like I can live this schedule for another week. It's the sacrifice of my loved ones that keep me moving towards this lifelong dream. I'm almost there....I'm almost there.....
