Long time no blog....

Well now isn't really the time to tell everything that's been going on either. I'm getting really close to midterms and really stressed all the way around! I'll post more soon!

I haven't seen that in a while...

I got up yesterday morning and it was snowing!!! Around lunch time I look outside and it's still snowing!!! Think we are in a blizzard? Nope, this is North Carolina. It was in the 60's the day before so it didn't stick at all. I think that is pretty much a first for this winter...at least with that much anyway. One time earlier this winter it did somthing to keep the kids out of school but I don't think that it was nothing more than ice. I really like snow....most of my friends think that I'm crazy! At one time North Carolina was known for it's four different seasons but this year seems like summer and maybe fall. I hope that this isn't a trend that we will no longer have four seasons. I really enjoy watching the flakes fall gracefully to the ground...It reminds me of ballet. I enjoy seeing the looks of wonder on my children's faces when it snows...and not being able to wait to see them play in it.

Most people are liking the fact that there is no inclement weather...but I wonder if it is a sign of bad things......I hope not!

I feel very old today....

The girls were finally well enough to go back to school....however Lena went to the ortho to get her braces on. It doesn't seem all that long ago that I had braces. I was only about 4 years older than she is but that would still make it about 16 years ago!!!! WOW! I think that when something happends to you and it is so long ago that it is more than your childrens lifetime....you have hit old head on!

I'm glad that they girls are better and everything was taken care of.....but now I have to play catch up w/ school. I have missed only one test that I'm hoping to make up on Monday but I have missed a lot of classroom hours. As a kid I didn't care much about it, but now that I'm paying for it....it's a different story! The classroom hours seem to help me....the teacher can say somthing just to the side but it will help me remember things that are important. So far I think that I'm holding on to a B average but I think that I can do better!

Well I'm going to go and get some more of my day done. Hopefully I won't experience anything else today that makes me feel old. (The kid in braces and the gray hair are bad enough!) By the way....Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Too Much Fun!!

Well...I guess I should start at the beginning. This week was going to be weird anyway but I just didn't know how weird! I rearranged my schedule to work around school, my oldest getting her braces on, a Keith Urban concert on Fri, and my parents going away for the weekend (no childcare). BAD IDEA!! Tuesday I got a call from Lena's teacher....she was sick and someone needed to come and get her. Not a problem....I call my mom and see if she can better get away from work than I can. She said that she would go get her and I would come home ASAP. Everything is cool right? WRONG!! While mom was picking up Lena, Cora's teacher flags her down and says that she is sick too and needs to go home. (I have learned that as a single mom....you don't take "sick days" for yourself) So when I got home they were both in bed asleep. A very bad sign for my crew. I went back to work my night shift. The next day they still weren't feeling any better...high fevers and all. So I took him to the docs office. WE HAVE THE FLU!! It was so bad that the doctor perscribed me something too! Well this throws everything off....LOL. Lena can't get her braces if she is contagous. I called the ortho to let them know that she is sick. They aren't really "open" tomorrow but they want us to try and get her in tomorrow. If not....on Mon or Tues she has to get her spacers out and they are going to start all over in mid to late March. Well she seems like she will be up to it but there are always more problems. I have class (and a test) at the same time they want us to come in for her braces. Then I'm supposed to be at work at 11:30. Not possible...the ortho is about an hour away from work and did I mention that my parents would already be gone....LOL. That is just too much fun in one day. To top everything off...I thought that I was getting sick last night....I'm not I just hurt my back to the point that breathing hurts. (I do believe the concert is out...no cute austrailian for me...sniff)Sometimes I think that I bit off more than I can chew going back to school and working all the time. If I don't do this though....it's not going to get any better than this! That is NOT acceptible!!

1st Post......hhhhhhhhmmmmmmm

We shall see how well this goes. I got this idea from my b/f. I don't really see that anyone would be interested in what I have to say....but maybe it will just help me by looking back and seeing that it's getting better.
