Recap

So....this weekend. Let's see, Friday after work, I was able to drop the kids off at the neighbors house for a much needed hair appointment, Saturday was my full day of Biology lab where did different experiments and even dissected a mosquito...interesting to say the least, I know now why I like office work so much!

Today we did lunch out with friends and grocery store and target run; where yes, the purple shoes came home with me! I am wearing them to work tomorrow to start the week off right.

This week is more school, N leaves for a wedding and we are getting plans together to hang with the in-laws for the 3 day weekend, maybe I'll have some new pics to post. Until then, I have lots of reading, I should start working on my book report too!

Until Next time

I need more shoes like a hole in the head.....

Thank goodness it's Friday! It's been a busy week....math class starting (I did manage to make it to 1!), school starting for the kids, I had a on base spouse function last night, today I'm getting my hair done and tomorrow is a full day of lab. I also have a essay and a test to take before Sunday! As well as grocery shopping and finding Cat shoes that she will actually wear....that could be my biggest challenge yet!

I saw these last night at Target and I'm in love...I'm thinking maybe do purple for N's Christmas party this year?

Until Next time,

Good Sign

Until next time,

Bad Girl, very bad girl

Here it is....finally~An Update!

Let's see Myrtle Beach was fun...did the beach, waterpark, Medieval Times (Cat cried, then got a flower; made it all better), Bean wants to be a knight now.

Quick Recap; someone may have put the wrong destination address in the GPS, rained both there and the way home, Bean locked my purse in the hotel safe, our room was over the indoor pool w/ loud kids, Hurricane Bill prevented us from swimming in the ocean, Bean told me he farted, then asked if I smelt it...all in all a great time!









Got back and school is in session...




I thought I started a Math class tonight, but nope it started yesterday! eek! I am going to call tomorrow and see if I can still be in the class; this is why I take online classes!

Cat has the teacher of the year from last year and Bean has Cats teacher, so we were excited about that. They both had good days; hope it continues.

Cat said something that made us laugh the other day, she was talking to one of her friends and she said, "Can I hang up now?" Too funny...I'm going to start using that one!

On tap for this week is hopefully my math class, I have a full day Bio lab on Saturday too.

N and I also joined the 20th century and got blackberries(y?)s...been messin around with it, avoiding homework!

Until next time,

All Play and a little work?

So this week has been a doozy. Monday, my Biology class started; I have to read 4 chapters and take a test by Sunday, I have already read my book for book report though!

Cat got a hair cut for school; again I have to take pictures to post....she looks so old!

Tonight is Open House at the kids' school and tomorrow morning after I get one more textbook, Cat has her physical and we are off to the beach! Both Nathan and I have work to do while we're there, well I do, he has a draft...not sure if that is considered work. ;)

Will post lots of pictures when we get back!

Until next time,

Stuff

So Math didn't go as well as I had hoped, I did jump another class, but I really wanted to do better. Oh well, I am now trying to get into a Math class that starts next week and Biology has started today...they've already warned us that since it is an intensive course to expect work on the 1st day, should be interesting!

Saturday we went to the Melting Pot. Great food and had fun, but there were 2 tables where the people were overly loud...we really didn't need to know that one of them farted...I mean really.

Sunday there was a birthday party and Beans first fishing adventure....he had a blast and even caught a fish! Pictures to come later...blogger won't let me put them on right now.

This week is Biology, Myrtle Beach and next week school starts back for the kids.....where did the Summer go?

Until Next time,

Must be the lack of sleep...

So we got our friend off at the airport ok this morning, almost missed a turn to get back home, but we made and I didn't spill my hot chocolate in the process!

On the way into work, the radio station is doing a contest; Koo Koo for Kenny Chesney tickets. For rows 1-5, you call a number and tell them what you would do for tickets. I carpool with my co worker and we were listening on the way in. Once at work we came up with the idea to spend the night in a funeral home or graveyard...sure enough I called it in, so we will see if it works!

I am beat, so I'm off to look over Math for one last time before I get some rest,

Until Next time,

Exposed

So tomorrow morning I am taking my friend to the airport at the late hour of 4am...good times I say. I'm lucky; our other friend is coming along to keep me company on the way back.

Friday morning is my Math test and I am hoping that I do well enough to test into the class that I've already signed up for! Monday, Biology starts as well. Saturday N and I have a double date to The Melting Pot...I love, love this place! I think it's been 1.5 years since I've been there and I'm excited to get back, we may even be wild after and see a movie or something!

Sunday, N is taking Bean fishing on base, which I know he will love, he always talks about wanting to go, so I am excited for him. Next week is Myrtle Beach weekend and then school officially starts...eek. Where does the time go??

Cat was taking videos of Bean last night with my phone and as I was reviewing them, I found out that she had been taking video of me in the dressing room! Luckily I was just hanging clothes up, guess I better make sure no more of that! In one of the videos it's pretty funny because she is telling Bean that she wasn't taking a video, just messing around, when in fact she was....one smart cookie that one.

I'm off for some sleep and maybe quick math review,

Until Next time,

Ironic? I think not

So this is a pretty big week for me, 2 major happenings.

This mornings devotion was this:

GAD Or God?
ODB RADIO: Listen Now DOWNLOAD: DownloadREAD: 1 Peter 5:6-11
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. —1 Peter 5:7
Are you a chronic worrier? Do you worry about bills, the future, health, debt, marriage issues? Has worry so consumed you that you have become “a fret machine”? If this describes you, perhaps you have generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD—a condition marked by a perpetual state of worry about most aspects of life. According to David Barlow, professor of psychology at Boston University, “the key psychological feature of GAD is a state of chronic, uncontrollable worry.” A little anxiety is normal, but constant worry is not.
Overwhelmed by suffering and persecution, the first-century Christians were driven out of Jerusalem and scattered throughout Asia (1 Peter 1:1-7). Many of these Jesus-followers were experiencing feelings of distress because of possible danger or misfortune. Peter encouraged these believers not to be filled with anxiety but to cast all their worries upon God (5:7). He wanted them to realize that it made very little sense for them to carry their worries when they could cast them on God who cared deeply about what happened to them.
Are you a chronic worrier? Let God be responsible for your anxieties. Stop worrying and start trusting Him completely. —Marvin Williams
When every worry, every careTo God in faith is brought,We have no place whereon to foundOne single anxious thought. —Anon.
Worry is a burden God never intended us to bear.


Wow! Was I ever grateful.....the big guy knew what I needed to hear.

(Now only if he can give me a mathematician brain before Friday, I would be set!)

Until Next time,

Ready or Not

So this week is gonna be a doozy. I am working later than normal to make up time for taking Cat to the Dr. Tomorrow I am having to testify at Court for a work matter, Thursday I am taking my friend to the airport at 4am, and Friday morning is my Math Placement test. I am trying to place into College Algebra. I have been looking over math practice, practice tests till I can't do it anymore....

So if I make it through this week with my head on straight, it'll be a relief.

Saturday, I went into work for about 4 hours, then Cat was feeling a little better so we went out and took advantage of tax free weekend and got her some tennis shoes and clothes. Saturday night she was up from 12-4am coughing and I ended up on the couch with her. Sunday we took it easy and I went out a got an outfit for tomorrow. (A small perk!)

I'f off to do some things around the house before I get back to Math.

Until Next time,

Friday Night

So, it's Friday night.

Our plan yesterday for tonight consisted of a date night of movie and dinner.

Our actual tonight? Cat is sick with a lower respiratory infection and N is sick as well. Boo.

I stayed home from work and cleaned a bathroom, vacuumed, made a cherry pie and banana bread. Tomorrow I'm going into work for a little bit and after I get Bean down, I'm working on Math. Next Friday is the placement test! eek.

Hopefully this weekend I will manage to hit some stores as it's tax free weekend! 2 more weekends until our trip to Myrtle Beach! We are staying here and we are pretty excited. Then the school year begins!

Until Next time,

Updates and Pics

Let's see....a belt came off of the mower, so off to the repair shop...oops! Sharpie marker is well on it's way outta there; I bought Goof Off from Lowe's and it works, but it smells! I'm letting it air out for about 18 hours, just so the smell doesn't get in our clothes.

Here is Cat's pillow....

Here is her recent art work....think she's ever been??

Notice the apple slices and chicken nuggets?

Bean lost another tooth yesterday....

Here is a pic from my camera...I was going for the bokeh effect....

Until Next time,

Ditch, Rain and Sharpie

The title sums up my weekend.

Friday night, the girls and I went to see The Ugly Truth and because we were all hungry, we bought the biggest bag of popcorn and the worlds largest drinks.....needless to say we could have feasted off of the popcorn for another 3 days! Good movie...predicable, but funny.

Saturday, we had wanted to go to the beach, but the weather was iffy, so we trekked to the closest Best Buy to us and had lunch with the neighborhood gang. It ended up not raining until later, so we could have gone to the beach!

Sunday, the weather was yukky again. N had to work, so the kids and I cleaned up and went swimming in a neighbors pool for a little while when there was a break in the weather.

About the ditch, I was trying to be a helpful wife and mow the lawn....the mower just stopped about 90% way through and wouldn't go forward/backward. So I was wheeling it back to the garage manually and I had the steering wheel turned and it started going in the ditch by our house....took some muscle, but I stopped in from going all the way it....thank goodness. So now because of my helpfullness, N has to figure out what I did didn't do to it!

Sharpie; I was washing N's uniform and I checked all the pants pockets for miscellanous and he was in charge of the shirts, got clothes out of dryer and sure enough...sharpie was left behind. Sharpies all over towels, pjs and luckily only 2 small spots on the uniform and oh yeah, all over the dryer, so now I'm on a mission to try to get it out as laundry is building up!

I have to post pictures of Cats pillow she made and proof she doesn't get to the Golden Arches much!

Until next time,
