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.

Sorry
Sorry that it has been so long since I wrote on here! Things have been a little busy for me and I haven't had much of a chance to keep up!
Let's see first of all I am on break for the next three weeks from school. I finished off the fall quarter with 3 A's and one pesky A-...which got me on the Dean's list with a 3.94.
Savannah is turning 3 on Sunday...it is amazing how much she has grown in the last 3 years and how well she is doing compared to how she was born!
Claud will be 30 next Sunday...he has grown up a lot too! And turned out pretty cute also lol!
Christmas is coming and I think our family is ready for it all!
I hope you all have great holiday season and I hope to be back writing once in awhile soon!

Not much new
It has been a nice weekend I suppose, I got nothing done that was on my to do list...which seems to be the growing trend around here. Friday morning Claud got a 3 point with his bow, which is great because he had been starting to get real depressed that he had gotten nothing yet. I went out hunting with him yesterday...mainly for my chance to scout before season starts...but with the weather the way it was the only thing we saw was a doe and 2 little ones that we kicked up while walking to our blind.
See this weekend is the opening of deer season, it is also the very first time that I will be going hunting all by myself...I have always sat with Claud or at the very least near him. To be honest I am not sure I want to get anything, simply because I will not have Claud there to share in the excitement if I do.
Right now I am just checking in here and having my coffee before I head off to class. I suppose all the work that didn't get done this weekend will be getting done this week, so I will be pretty busy. Everyone have a nice week!

The Report Cards Are In....
I got both of my little angels report cards yesterday~ Dillion had an excellent marks he got all M's (which is like what the S's used to be) They mean Meeting Grade Level Epectations...so he was all good on all of the things he has been taught, with a comment saying he is a joy to have in class and he is a good friend to everyone!
On to CJ, who did not have all M's like in the years past. As far as the academic aspect goes he is right on target...it is the social skills and study skills that he is lacking in. He hasn't been doing his homework, which I thought for sure was going to fall on me, but suprisingly his teacher agreed 100% that it was his responsibilty and he is well aware of how to do the homework and that he has it to do. I am planning to try a little harder to say "hey nothing else is going to happen in this house until homework is done" everyday. But I have to be honest I can't spend hours reminding him over and over...I have my own homework and two other kids and a house to tend to. I do want him to learn better habits now though because I know he has the potential to do great!
So anyway it wasn't too bad all in all.
Today they have the day off of school, and I think we are just going to hang around here I have a lot of things that I need to work on. Claud is leaving in a week for deer camp and he may need some clean clothes to wear while he is gone.
Have a great weekend

What is this funny letter???
So two of my grades for the 5 week sessions I was taking are in: one is an A- the other is an A...yeah for me!!! I joked with my Dad that they must have forgotten to type the rest of my name in those spaces (A)manda....lol.
Tomorrow I go to conferences for CJ, I mentioned it tonight and he sighed and said "I know" this was not a real promising response, so I am hoping it was just a normal reaction and not a sign that he is doing poorly in school. Of course it will probably be like last year and it isn't him at all, but me instead. I forget a lot of things, like reminding him to do his homework...actually making him do his homework and also to send his snack with him. I try to remember but with my own homework and trying to run a household and bills and kids and dogs and whatever else may pop up sometimes I forget to tell him! (And yes I feel like the worst parent ever!)
Dillion on the other hand did not need a conference so I can only assume he is doing well!
Savannah is turning into a drama queen to the worst extent! She is always "sick" and always needing to be babied. The only thing I can think of that is causing this is the fact that I am in school now and she is with a sitter 4 days a week instead of with me all week 24/7
Friday is a day off for the boys which I am sort of looking forward to, although I really wish that more of the neighbor kids went to WPA because they get so bored on days off with nobody to play with them.
I plan to clean and catch up on Friday...just like I do every Friday it seems like.
Well I hope you all have a good week and weekend in case I don't get back here before then!
****10 days left until opening day********
