Update Time

The boys are at school enjoying their last full day today! Tomorrow they get out at 11:30...then it is summer vacation!!!!
I am still in for another week, next Weds. is my final exam for anatomy. I am most likely going to be repeating this course, but hopefully I will do much better the second time around.
Claud is still in a ton of pain daily, his doctor was supposed to look into getting him an MRI on his shoulder but so far we have heard nothing back from them. Not really sure at this point what is going on with that.

I am looking forward to this summer a lot! I am hoping that we can do lots of fun things with the kids, and really make the most of it. The years seem to be slipping by so quickly for us, it is hard to imagine in a couple weeks Dillion will be 6 and a month after that Cj will be 8! Where did the time go?

I hope you are all having a great day! I plan to study mine away!

Howdy Ya'll

Things here are okay. The kids only have 6 1/2 days of school left!!!! I have 2 weeks....then it is summer fun, well maybe a little fun!

There really is nothing too new to discuss really. Claud got a call back from the Dr. office and they have decided to try and get him in for an MRI on his shoulder. I am hopeful this will lead us somewhere, as he is still in so much pain all the time. I don't want him to live the rest of his life this way.

I can't believe it but in a month Dillion will be 6 years old...OMG how times flies when you are having fun!

The kids and Claud took part in the parade on Memorial Day....ever seen a 30 year old man on a 110cc quad pulling a trailer full of kids....it looks a lot like this...and is kinda funny

Hope this picture has brightened your day...I know it did mine when I received it from a friend today!

Just a quick update on us

It has been a while since I updated...sorry about that. Things are going ok for us at this point. The kids are ready to be out of school for the summer and I have 5 more weeks to go before I am finished for summer.
I am trying to pass all my classes this term, and that is about all I can do. The anatomy class is kicking my butt. I think the problem is I am not getting enough study time. By the time I can sit down in quiet and study I am so tired I can't focus. I am just doing the best that I can do at this point.
The kids are doing well, I just recieved their school pictures and they are so cute! This week is charter school week for the boys so they have been having all kinds of fun daily activities. Today is their music program, and they have a 60's theme. Yesterday they got to go skating...the really cool part was CJ & Dillion were on the same field trip...which Dillion loved, had his big brother to help him skate!
Savannah is doing well too. She talks non-stop and moves non-stop. She keeps us on our toes that's for sure.
I just can't believe that in one month Dillion will be 6...and in 2 months CJ will be 8...wow time sure flies with these kiddos!

Claud had a Dr. appt yesterday about his shoulder. This time he saw a specialist, who actually knew what he was talking about. He seems to think Claud tore his rotator cuff and may have a pinched nerve to go with it. He gave him a Cortizone injection, and basically that was all that can be done. At this point in time, Claud is self employed and I am unemployed, so he has no insurance...so any further things that could be done are way out of reach for us. Which is unfair but it is the way the world works.

Other than that we are all fine and well. Hope you all are too!

Updates from Monday

Well yesterday was not a great day for me, I was just in *itch mode I guess! Today is looking to turn out better at least slightly! We have found out a little more about the thing I am stressing over so much, but will know hopefully a lot more in a week or so. Hoping it all works out the way it should!

As for my turkey hunting experience they say a picture is worth a 1000 words so here ya go:

As for the words to go with it, I got this boy about 30 minutes into my hunt on opening day...made for a quick season lol. He was 24# with a 10-1/2" beard and 1" spurs. Not shabby for my 1st turkey hunt, and shockingly it was a 1 shot -1 kill thing for me! He fell as soon as he was hit, which made me feel all that much better!

As for Claud's shoulder we went to the Dr. yesterday and were referred to their other office to be seen by their orthopedic person...so now we wait until May 5th to know more. He is still working, although he shouldn't but we have no other option. The Dr. yesterday looked at him and said "whoa!" seems to be the normal reaction anymore. I am just hoping for the best.

Well hope you all have a great week! I have to study a bit...or nap with Savannah not sure what I am going to do yet :)

Going Hunting Again.....

It is a rainy Monday morning here! I am going to be out turkey hunting in an hour or so, not really looking forward to sitting in the rain (in a pop-up) but I am sure I will live.
This is the first time I have ever tried turkey hunting, I am only a little excited about it...I much prefer deer hunting. But we shall see how this goes I may change my mind by the end of the day who knows?
In other news by tomorrow Claud and I will hear something that may be life changing for us. At this point I'd rather not say what that something is but I can say that it will be a positive thing for our family and especially for our children. It is also something I didn't think was going to happen this soon but somehow has.
Also tomorrow Claud goes to the Dr. about his shoulder...hoping for good news on it!
Well I hope you all have a good day!

Party Day

Hey everyone hope you are all great this morning! It is party day for me! Which also means it is cleaning day ughhh. I like having these little get togethers and I really enjoy having people at my house but I do not enjoy the cleaning that goes along with it....mainly because I am a perfectionist when it comes to cleaning before people come...lol

I attended my basic anatomy class last night....yep it scared me! There is so much to know, and I have to actually know it not just memorize it. This may end up being a two time test...who knows? I am going to give it all I have and see what happens I guess!

The boys are enjoying their spring break, they have been counting how many days they have until the have to go back to school! Each day they say "5 more days" etc.
It's ok they don't know it but I am counting too! :)

Well have a wonderful day!

Oh man

How is everyone doing today? Hopefully you are all well on this snowy Tuesday morning. I am doing ok, just planning to spend the day cleaning house in preparation for my party on Thursday night.
On another note Claud is not doing as well. He ended up at urgent care on Sunday, he has been having a lot of pain for a week in his shoulder and up his neck. The doctor at urgent care seemed to think he has torn his rotator cuff. Which is bad...yes those were the doctors exact words...which I found slightly funny, just because I have never had a doctor say "that's bad" before.
We are going tomorrow to his new dr. to fill out paperwork and hopefully the following week he can be seen. At this point there isn't a whole lot that he can do. He is at work today but he really can't lift anything and he can't put his arms above his head. Too many years of the work he does has finally caught up to him I suppose. At this point we are hoping the other dr will find it is just a pinched nerve or something...but it doesn't look promising. Although with physical therapy he should be able to get back to a usable state with it.
Well I am off to clean and do some laundry!

My week has been great!

How is everyone this week? I am great, I have been enjoying time at home and not having to be at school everyday!
I have managed to get some cleaning done, it isn't all done yet...but it is getting closer. I hope to work on it a little more this weekend also.
Other than my cleaning I have been working hard on my lia sophia business stuff. I have been looking over all the information on their website and I got my kit in this week! Which means I have a lot of pretty pieces of jewerly for my display.

Also this week I have gotten another party booked. I am going tonight to go over the hostess packet with the hostess and set the date! Which brings me up to 3 parties so far! My goal is to book 6 of them, but we will see what happens. I am very excited to be starting this new venture. For those of you that are reading this and know me personally, I will be sending out letters in the mail in a few weeks to introduce this new venture and explain the benefits of hosting a party for me. I hope you will consider helping me get my new business off the ground.

Another thing is I have all my final grades for winter quarter.
Med. Term C
Pre-Algebra B-
Oral Comm. C+

Not the wonderful grades I had last term, but to be honest I was just thrilled to pass this term!

Something else that was exciting this week is yesterday my loving and way to good for me husband traded in 2 of his guns so that I could have a bow. It is really nice. I orginally was looking at a compound bow in pink(shocker there huh?) but after we got there and there was no pink bow that was left handed I decided the color didn't really matter. I managed to find a nice Browning bow, I also found out that I am a pretty decent archer! This was the first time I had shot a compound bow, I have used a recurve in the past but I tell you they are nothing alike...the compound is much easier for me!
But alas, it is much like a gun...I am good at shooting at a target, not sure about shooting a real live deer with it. They move and make my nerves go crazy:)

Well I think that is all the excitement I have for this week..I must go do some picking up now. Have a great day!

Really?!?!?!?

I have no idea how I did it but I did! I managed to get an 88% on my final for med term. Which brought my grade to a C, ya know the C that I needed to pass and NOT have to re-take the course? I cannot even begin to explain how excited I was to see that grade yesterday!
The funny part is I didn't even study for my final, I figured I would have to re-take the class anyway so I wasn't going to stress over the final...lol.

On another note parent teacher conferences are this week. Once again I don't have to have a conference for Dillion, I was told he is doing great! He gets along with every one and is a great kid and is super smart!
I do have to have a conference for CJ and I am not looking forward to it. He is not doing well this year, homework is a problem for him...listening is a problem...following directions is a problem. So I am not looking forward to that conference.

Well I am off to clean and stuff...isn't spring break wonderful????
Have a great day!

Spring Break!!!!

So today was my offical last day of winter quarter!!!! I am now on spring break for the next two weeks!!!! My first online class begins April 2nd, and the I start my basic anatomy class on April 8th!
I am so ready to have a break from school, this quarter was a killer!!! My house and dogs have not been thanking school either. My poor moose dog has had to be crated 1/2 the day which for her is unusual...and my daughter has missed all the mom/daughter bonding while the boys are in school. And I have missed sitting in my pjs until 2pm..LOL

On another note, I got my starter kit ordered to begin my lia sophia business. I really hope to get some more party bookings at my starter show, right now I have 2 of them to do for April but I would love to have a little fuller calendar. But it all comes in time right?
Not too much else to talk about at this point, the kids and hubby are at the inlaws and my house is quiet..I am thinking that means nap time!
Hope you all have an excellent weekend. I will be cleaning and cooking most of it!

My Life Update....

So in the last couple days I have decided I liked my med term class so well I am going to take it again in the fall, ughh! Actually I didn't decide that but I am going to have to re-take the class. I at this point (final is Weds.) have a D+...if I get a really good grade on the final I will have a C-...I have to have a C or better, which means it is a 2nd time for me!

Well very frustrating, I am doing ok in my other classes.



On another note, I am taking on a new type of work for the time being. Testing the waters and hopefully I will enjoy it. I am going to start selling Lia Sophia jewelry. I am having a starter party on April 9th and hopefully will be able to have some parties booked from that. I already have 2 booked for April. Just keep me in mind if you ever want to host a party their hostess benefits are pretty nice!

On another note I came home yesterday to a very scary scene, my dog had gotten out of her crate at some point in the day and had gone into my room and knocked over the guinea pig cage. The cage was broke apart and laying on my bed, and Buster (guinea pig) was nowhere in sight! !! To be honest I would not look for him...I was scared of how I may have found him. So we searched my room (Claud and I) and couldn't locate him. I listened carefully and did not hear him.
So last night I was in the shower and the kids came running in and said "mom! We found Buster!!!" The excitement in their voices was high, so I assumed Buster was still moving...which he was. He had somehow managed his way to the living room and hid behind the couch. He was safe and sound when we found him, although quite shaken up as you can imagine. Claud carried him back to his cage and he is doing ok. I checked him over for bite marks or injuries and haven't found any. I feel so bad, I know I put the dog in her crate...but I may not have locked it well enough. That will NOT happen again I will be double and triple checking before I leave the house.
The only serious thing wrong with him is he will not sleep in his igloo house, I assume this is because he cannot see what is outside his cage when he does...for this I don't blame him!

Well I have to go and give a speech...my LAST one...and tomorrow is my last day before spring break!!! It is only 2 weeks long but I will take it!

Have a great week/weekend!

HI EVERYONE

How is everyone on this fine Thursday morning? Things are fine here. I am just killing some time before I get ready to head to class. Today is speech class (oral communication to be technical) We are giving impromptu speeches today OH BOY!

What is new around here? Well last night I took my boys to the mother/son dinner and dance at the school. That was fun, although they ditched me the minute we got there to play with all their friends...it was to be expected. LOL

Spring forward has been hard on us. I am pretty sure the kids have been late to school everyday! I feel like the worst parent in the world when this happens, it isn't that we are getting up way late, we are up but the boys have just drug $#@ all week long, and they take turns. One day it is CJ the next it is Dillion...very frustrating! Luckily today is the last day for them this week as they have Friday off!

Speaking of Friday, that is a big day for us, we are adopting a new friend that evening...as long as things go according to plan. I was on Craigslist last night and found the friend I have been looking for now for a while. I think he looks like one of those monkeys:) He is two years old and the lady I am getting him from has decided that she should find him a new home because her son no longer gives him any attention. I say he is mine because I know I will be the one caring for him, but I think the kids will also get enjoyment from him! I have to wait until Friday however because he I have so much today going on including working for my dad. And this little guy lives clear out in Bellevue, so we are meeting 1/2 way on Friday to pick him up! I am so excited!

I hope you all have a GREAT weekend in case I don't talk to you before then!

Hey

Hey there everyone! I thought I would pop in a leave a quick blog today, just because I had a spare minute.
My winter quarter is coming to a close in 2 weeks...lots of things to do before then however. I have a paper to write that is due tomorrow for my med term class...it is on any medical issue, and is to be 3 full pages. It could take me most of the day, but that is alright I will get it done. I also have to study for my last med term quiz before the final exam.
For my speech class I have one more big speech to write and give. This time it is a persuasive speech, I am planning to persuade the class to do outdoor activities such as camping, fishing and hunting. I am not sure how that last one is going to go over in my class...but I would suppose that is the point of the persuasive part of the speech!
Not too much to do for PreAlgebra just catch up on the online stuff...then take the final.

Next quarter I am taking only one class on campus and two online. I figured that I can manage a comp. II class and a math for business class as online classes. The only on campus is basic anatomy.
I can tell you I am looking forward to not driving to Baker every day next term...it will save me tons of money. Both in gas and on a babysitter!
Well I hope all is well with everyone, I have to go and get some grocery shopping done!

Disappointed in me....

That is how I feel about myself at this point. I am smoking...not like I was but still I am smoking. I am a closet smoker at this point, as in I am not letting the kids see me smoke. I am not sure why I lit a cigaretter again other than Claud did and it seemed like the thing to do. It was Sunday before I did, and I wish now I would not have. I have turned the nicotine receptors on in my brain again much to my dismay.
I know I am going to try to quit again, although it may not be until after I am finished with classes this summer. I have a ton of stress right now and although that is no excuse, that is the one I am going to use.

Other than this disappointment, there is not a whole lot going on around here. I am going to be taking my online orientation so that I can enroll in a few online classes...I really want to cut my driving times down as much as possible.

Oh and work is very slow for the guys again! I am hoping so much that it picks up soon as it is getting very very very tight in this house. I hate when this happens and of course it happens once I have everything all caught up and on time again...now we are back to square one ughhhh!

I don't think there is a whole lot else for me to say today, I have to go and get dressed now and head to class! Only 2 weeks left of winter quarter, can't wait for some of these classes to be over!

Have a great day!!!

Day 2....

I am going on day 2 now and hoping it is going to be an easier day than it was yesterday. I had some issues yesterday, but feel better about how to work through them today! I managed this morning with mints and a cup of coffee and some self pep talk!
Also it is going to make my day much easier knowing that I watched my husband crush what was left of his cigarettes and break them up and put them in the trash. I know I am not in this alone which does make it easier!
Right now I feel good! I feel like I can do this, but we will see what the day will bring!
Have a GOOD one!

It SEEMS to be working

Hi everyone! You may be wondering how it went yesterday for me huh? Well it was definatly a different kind of feeling being under hypnosis...but the good news is I am on hour 16 without a cigarette!!! I have to say I am glad that I went this route because I really have no cranky symptoms, I don't feel like I want to bite anyones head off...as long as I have a mint in my mouth I am ok. Which is more than I can say for Claud who I may hurt very badly soon! I know that his attitude is from not smoking (he is smoking but VERY little) but man I really wanna pop him in the mouth!!!! And I have NEVER felt that way about him ever! But I know this will pass...so I am just riding it out! I would rather have him angry and not smoking than smoking and not angry ya know?
I hope you all have a good day, I am going to class today!

Today is a BIG day...hopefully?

The first thing I get to do today is go to class and watch my fellow classmates get up and give speeches (I am due to do mine on Thursday) but that isn't the BIG part of my day. Then at 2:40 I am picking my kids up early from school, again though that isn't the BIG part.
After I take the kids and babysitter home, then I am going to an appointment...now we are to the BIG part of my day. I am going to see a hypnotist! We have made the decision to stop smoking, by we I mean Claud, Myself and my father in law. They are going to attempt to quit cold turkey with no help, that process is not for me therefore I am trying the hypnosis thing. I have talked to someone who had this done and they said it was helpful, I guess I will know by 5 today. To be honest my nerves are on edge thinking about it. I am nervous about being hypnotised, but to be honest I am also nervous about becoming a non smoker. I cannot remember what it is like not to smoke. I have always done it since I was 14. The sad facts on that are I am only 27 years old and I have smoked for 13 years!
I am also nervous about the physical effects of quitting, the things that are going to happen no matter what such as coughing and fatigue and the many other things that my body is going to do in order to try to repair itself from the years of damage I have done to it.
I am also hopeful that I won't become a nagger, I don't want to complain to others about their smoking as I know that the only person who can make you quit smoking is you...this is not a decision that you can make for someone else...you must do it for yourself.
I made a list of reasons why I want to quit and I am going to share this list with you now:
1.) My Health~I want to breathe and walk up stairs without running out of breath.
2) My Kids~ Not only for their health but so that in 20 years they dont have to watch their mother die a horrible death or live a horrible life at the end.
3) The Cost~ I spend a total of 50-60 a week on cigarettes, and trust me we can't afford it, and also that is just my half...with Claud it is 100-120 a week!!!!!!
4) The Smell~ I know that it stinks, I can't smell it but others can and it bothers me
5) Social Issues~ There are many things we don't do because we smoke, most resturants are smoke free, going to the movies, etc...
6) Deer Hunting~ Smoke can scare a deer away quicker than you'd think...sometimes they come in because they are curious about it, but most of the time I believe they smell the smoke long before we see them...therefore we miss more deer than we realize every year!

So wish me luck on this journey....it will be a hard road I know!

Ughh

Oh it is Saturday afternoon and there is still so much to do, I fear that the painting projects that I hoped would get done this weekend will not, this is my own fault believe me! I have been quite lazy today..I "napped" this is in quotes because I never sleep in the day in this house the kids and hubby are way too loud for that. So I wasn't up and helping and then I took off for a half hour so yeah Claud started stuff alone(which I appreciate, but he really shouldn't have to do it all on his own)
Shortly we will be leaving for the Blue and Gold Banquet for Cubscouts! CJ will be getting a trophy for the Pinewood Derby that he did a month ago, so that is very exciting for him. I will try to add a post with Photos for that if I get time.
Tonight I also get to sit down with a Medical Journal article and write a 2pg summary...this is not on my top 10 list of enjoyments! It is so hard to read and understand these articles. Also our class was advised to re write the two that we have done as some of the class copied things word for word and you aren't supposed to do this (which I knew)
Well have a good rest of your weekend!

HI ALL

Happy Thursday! This week has seemed to fly by for us. I have class today as I do everyday, but today is a midterm exam! One that I am not really looking forward to at all.
We are having some issues around here with our electricity, sometimes some things work and sometimes some things don't...not sure what is going on with it, but Claud attempted to fix it again this morning so hopefully he got it this time!
I think this weekend we are going to finish up our painting projects or at least I hope we will.

Other than that there isn't a whole lot more to tell you all, we are pretty boring:)
I do think I forgot to tell you all that I decided to change my major, I have decided to go with Medical Assistant instead of Surgical Tech. There were a few reasons for my decision but the main one is that I couldn't imagine 12 hour shifts and trying to sleep during the day...also I really am not wanting to work on the weekends LOL.

Well I hope you all have a nice day and try to stay warm, it is cold again!

Cleaning House

Good News! I have a living room! It has been awhile since I saw it so I wasn't sure really. It took me an hour an a half to get done all that I wanted to which included moving furniture around and sweeping & mopping behind everything!
So I am taking a quick break before I begin in the kitchen! Hey I earned it. I skipped class just to stay home and clean, pretty sad huh? I can remember when I used to skip school to go shopping or hang out with my friends....now I skip so I can clean the house:(
I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine we are having today because according to the weather report it won't be here tomorrow! I am so tired of the snow not sure about the rest of you.

Just Complaining

I have had a very bad couple of days around here, I am not sure if it is that time of the month or what but I find myself so angry and upset lately. I am so tired of being the only one that can lift a finger to clean up around here! I don't expect Claud to do it as he works full time...but I do expect the kids to help a little! They are plenty old enough and it doesn't matter what I do they can't seem to get off their butts to help!
I have decided today though that when I get out of work tonight I am going to become the proud owner of 2 DS's, one xbox, and a race track...I am going to have lots of new toys until they can help me and change their little attitudes!

There is SO much that I REALLY need to get done around here, things that are beyond the normal cleaning I do but I can't get them done because I have to start the same place over and over...(example I clean the living room up today in prep for deep cleaning tomorrow but when tomorrow gets here it looks the same as before I started today!) It is a frustrating cycle that I know everyone faces but I am so beyond tired of it!!!!
Anyway, I have to get ready to go to work now...so I will write more as soon as I can!

Have a story to share...

I can't help but share this story as it made me smile yesterday and I really needed it.
I went to pick up the kids from school and Dillion was holding the front doors open for people going out. This girl in his class was headed out with her Grandpa and in the cutest little girl voice she said "good bye Dillion" then she reached out touched his chin and said "ya little cutie!"
I almost fell on the floor laughing, not only at the girls comment but at my poor red faced son who wasn't sure what to do. Later last night CJ was asking Dillion if he had a girlfriend and he said "I do now, but I don't know where it came from it just happened today!"
Oh the things kids say that make me laugh so hard.

On another note, I am going to ask for prayers again...and again I am not able to say what I want them for I just need someone watching out for my extended family, all of them will be needing it in a very bad way in the coming weeks and months.

I have class today and Claud comes home tonight *thank goodness* I miss him so much when he is away. The first day or two aren't bad but toward the end of the week, I am lost without him. I may not be here much this weekend so I hope you all have a great one! Also Happy Valentines Day!!!!!!!!!!!

I Hired A Maid For a Day!!!!

Ok you all need to wish me luck today! I have to give a speech in my oral comm. class today, I have slipped under the radar for 3 classes but I am for sure up today! It will be quite a boring speech I am sure, but I had to fill a culture requirement so I chose Italy and their customs.
I am only slightly nervous hopefully that will pass early.
Also I figured out a way to clean the house before Claud gets home tomorrow...I hired my neice to do it. That is terrible right? I can't help it...it is Greys Anatomy night and I need to get homework done before class tomorrow so I have no time to clean at all!
Hope you all have a good day I am sure mine will be long as hell!

Hey There

Ok so here is my little update of the day. The kids have a 2 hour delay this morning so I have a little internet time before they had to school, Van heads to the sitter and I head to class. School is going ok, I see my 3.94 GPA going down the drain very soon however...not sure that I will get an A in any of my classes. I am taking Pre-Algebra, Med Term and Oral Communication this term. I am not looking forward to my final grades at all!
They are all difficult for me, I have to remember a lot and it is kind of hard to try and study with 3 kids running around. I am not sure that I can remember what day it is let alone what the latin translation of inflammation of the liver is......it's hepatitis by the way LOL
The kids are growing and wild as ever. Cj has started cub scouts, we did the pinewood derby and he took 1st in the wolves and 2nd overall. (actually there was a tie for 1st and they averaged the times)
Dillion is doing well in school, he is reading but not liking it. I have to find a way to make it fun for him and I am having a hard time with that.
Savannah is getting so big and has way too many opinions that are all her own. Also she imatates me which is not always a good thing, I am learning a lot about mysef through her....I am mean! She also is spending a lot of time with my parents and sharing her observations of me with them, sometimes that is not the best thing.
Claud is out of town until Friday and I haven't really gotten a lot done around here I am pretty sure Thurs night and Friday afternoon I will be running around here trying to pretend like I did soemthing with my time.
Tonight there is a den meeting and I am very sure once I am home from that I won't feel too ambitious. I think today after class is going to be homework time for me, I plan to leave Van at the sitters until 3 and work on my PreAlgebra after class.
Well I hope you have a great day!

Just a Hi

Well it looks like we have gotten a taste of spring here, but I doubt that it will last too long...after all it is Michigan!
This weekend has been spent patching holes in drywall throughout my house. Then we are repainting the boys room, living room and kitchen. I am sure it will be nice in the end but right now this place looks like a construction site! Drywall dust EVERYWHERE!!!!
Claud is going to be working out of town this week, so me in a stupid moment said " if you patched these walls I could paint while you are gone" Wrong thing to say..besides I don't have time to paint while he is gone I have 3 kids 2 dogs and a lot of homework during the week, I am sure it won't be done when he gets back.
Other than that things are ok, or at least I am going to sit back and pretend they are for the time being.
I hope all of you are doing well!

Sorry...

I am sorry it has been over a month since I have even posted. We don't have the internet for now at home and with school and the kids I have been too busy to think let alone write.
Claud's grandfather passed away yesterday so things have been slightly hectic with my family, I am bouncing kids from sitter to sitter trying to be of as much help as I can today with my mother and father in law. I have to pick up the boys at school then take them to my neice to watch so I can head to Claud's grandmas and visit there as I didn't get to last night (I was home with the kids) the last thing I wanted to do was drag my rowdy bunch out there as you can imagine. Claud's aunt is flying in today so we are hoping to get to see her and visit and we also have to find my husband some dress clothes that fit for the service on Tuesday. Please keep the family in your prayers, the loss has been hard on us.
As for the rest of our up to date info the kids are growing like weeds and I am studying often and hard, this term I have med. term., prealgebra and speech classes. I wish now I would have arranged my schedule a little different as I am at Baker everyday during the week and it is harder than I thought it would be for me.
I hope all of you are doing well. It may be another month before I write on here soooo try to be patient I am really sorry again.
