here we go

Here goes another week. I am still a week behind in my classes so this week I need to take 2 test for sure but I really need to take 4 but there is no way. I may be able to get 3 in but not all 4. I will have to start spending all my time at school that I can find. I have some things and tests that have to be in by February 7th. CRAZY!!!!!

Joe, the boys' and I all went bowling Sunday. We had a great time. Of course Tiffany and her family were suppose to go which is the whole reason we went but she bailed because of something they needed to do in the bathroom. They boys' had heard all week that we were going bowling so Joe and I decided to still take them. We had a blast. Both boys bowled great.

Saturday I spent the day shopping instead of studying. I was on a mission to find tops. I found some but was truly disappointed with my selection. All the more reason to loose my weight. All the cute shirts have strips that go around my body...NO NO NO....should not wear that, especially around my chest. So I had to settle for plain colored tops. Oh well....

Hope everyone has a great week.

Excited but bummed

well I am excited to have my income tax money but bummed out that I don't have anyone to go shopping with me. I don't really enjoy shopping alone but that is my only option these days. I hate not having friends. The ones I do have I wouldn't ask for various reasons so it's just me today. I have to go grocery shopping this morning first. Then come home shower and then to go the Super Mall. I need to go to the South Hill Mall too but I want to see what I can find out the Super Mall first. I am mainly looking for tops. Simple but nice.

I ate very poorly this week so Lisa should do much better than me. I had pizza and candy last night. I had 3 pieces of cheezy bread, a very small piece of pepperoni pizza and a king size Twix. I dont' know what I was thinking. I was just flat hungry and was tired of eating Lean Cuisine. Tonight I will get back on track..I am going to buy some chicken and make fried potatoes (with Pam) while the males in this house have chicken legs.

well I am off to go grocery shopping and get some coffee. chow

Monday

Well I am confident this week will be much better. The boys' should be in school all week and I should get to go to school when I need to . I will spend today studying while Wyatt plays and then I will go to school tomorrow and study a little more and take another test. I just hope I do better than the last two. I will be turning in one of my 4 projects Wednesday night for my night class. It feels good to have one of them done. Gonna work on getting another one done on Thursday.

Will let you know how things go!

Friday

well...it's Friday...another week down. Tomorrow JC gets his staples out. Hopefully he will go back to normal. Great it's 6:25 am and both my kids have chosen to be up already. Just what I need. So today isn't off to the best start. Theyare up a hour early. So much for my quiet time so I can deal with life better.

life sucks

well life sucks right about now...I had a tooth break yesterday so I went to the dentist this afternoon and all they did was fill it. I don't think that is what they should have done but we will see after the numbing goes down. I can still feel the sharp part of my tooth where it broke off. This is why I don't go to the dentist. I can never find a good one close to home. So now that I have half of my face numb...I am not going to school. We are suppose to be attending a seminar in Tacoma on Union street. I did not get out of the dentist until 5 pm and I would hav never made it with traffic. Oh well...school sucks right now anyhow. I didn't do so well on my first two medical terminology tests...yes, I passed them but with a C and that is not ok with me. I thought I knew the chapters better than that but obviously not.

later

DONE!!!

I am so done with this weather. Now they are saying 1-3 inches possible tonight/tomorrow morning. Will I ever get to school again??? I am falling further and further behind on tests but I know I am not the only one but darn.

I have a houseful of boys today as it is a holiday. I will end up with 4 extra's on top of my 2. CRAZY!!!!

Back to studying!

Big Deal, it's Friday

Well, yes it's Friday and the boys' did go to school but now they have 3 days off. I am starting ot feel overwhelmed again with school. I was planning to take my first test on Thursday but with the snow and ice, school was closed for everyone including me. Of course they were open today but they do not test on Friday and I had a house full of kids. Monday I could test but I have kids. I may study all weekend and go up Monday night after Wyatt goes home and see about taking my first test then. I won't be able to study Monday as I will have 6 kids all day starting at 6 am. I am going to try to escape to the library most of tomorrow so I can study without the boys' asking me every 5 minutes for something to eat.

Well I am going to get busy on the studying....chow for now.

I may see the light

I may see the light at the end of the tunnel. I spent today at school from 10 to 1:30 and I got a lot done and feel better now. I don't feel as overwhelmed. Chapter 2 of Medical Terminology is a bear but after doing the CD exercises for an hour, I think I finally got it. The program allows you to reset the questions so you can keep trying. It helped me learn a lot. So I am going to do it a few times tomorrow go to school Thursday, complete the exercises one more time and then take my first test....send good thoughts my way Thursday about 11ish.

JC seems to be doing better. He has me bring him some pain meds yesterday but today he did not require them. He is walking without the crutches more which is good. The staple area looks good. He will have one hell of a scar but such as life.

I am off to do some more studying then to bed...got a house full of kids tomorrow morning.
Chow!

PS NO SNOW!!!! I have school tomorrow night!!!

Boys will be boys!!

If you have not already heard, I got to spend Saturday evening in the ER with JC. He was riding his bike down a hill and his handle bars turned wrong and he went up and over them. He tore a good size gash out of his knee right under his knee cap. They gave him 3 "inner" stitches and 6 outer staples. He did fine last night due to all the numbing stuff they shot into it but this morning he is one hurting boy. Let me tell you I did not do so well myself. There was 3 times I almost passed out. When JC was yelling and screaming when they were giving him the numbing shots, I had to rest my head on the table and hold his hands because the room started to spin and I broke out in a cold sweat. Then when they were doing the stitches and staples I got the same way but I got JC to talk about his trip to my moms and stuff like that to help takes him mind (and mine) off what they were doing. Then when I saw the staples in his knee it about wiped me out. It sucked that I am such a whip and I couldn't be strong for my son. But at least I did not cry. I held that back because I knew if I started, we would both not stop. The doctor we had was a very rude man but what do you expect. I love Auburn hospital but not fond of their ER. Good Sam was not an option for me and I just don't like Valley. Although I should have called to see if Leesa (Wyatt's mom) was working...she could have helped me out. Aunt Stephanie came and hung out in the waiting room which I appreciated. It turned out her and JC's friend Dalton could not go back in the room with us so it was a big help to me that she could hang out with Dalton in the waiting room. Of course they got to see the 2nd half of the Seahawks game that JC and I missed. What a finish that was.

So today I am just going to stay on top of JC's pain. I am going to try to get the rest of my homework done and some studying done (yeah right) that I was hoping to get done yesterday. But I am just going to take the day as it comes. Hopefully the rain and wind stops soon. We could all go swimming in my yard right now.

I will keep you all updated on JC. Feel free to call and check in on him. It would make him feel special (whatever).

Chow.

Oh my gosh!!!!

Boy do I feel totally overwhelmed! School is going to be crazy. It is just going to take me a couple of weeks to get in a routine and the hang of homework and studying. Boy do I have a lot of both. What was I thinking???!!! It's ok....I am breathing!!! It only cost me $335 bucks for my books. And I have to buy my own scantrons (those things you take tests on). Good gravy!

I have to clean the house so I can acutally have a place to study. I have to go up to the college today (noon) to get my check and get it in the bank so the check I wrote last night does not bounce. Then it's back home to do homework....I think I will drowned in it.

I know I sound so down about school...it's just I am very overwhelmed and I know in a few days I won't feel this way.

Chow for now.

Ok..I am ready to move

Once again the wind struck. Now the carport is in a crumpled mass on the concrete. So much for trying to fix it. We have gotten new bases for the three that broke free from the concrete but now it all gets to go in the trash. Gotta figure out a place for the boys' to keep their bikes instead of right behind me as I type.

Tomorrow is the day...my first day of college. Probably why I have a stomach ache all day....nerves!!! Of course the whole morning was a mess with the wind and I had 3 extra boys here today.

I am nervous about tomorrow but excited about acutally doing something with my life. I know I am doing something positive and in a couple years I will be working and doing all I can to better our lives.

Chores are calling...I will post tomorrow night after my day at school.
