The semester is coming to an end. I have three finals mid-week and then I have two finals next week. I am looking forward having some time off. I am looking forward to not having anything more to do than watching TV for a while.

I have been jealous of D this week she got a 5 day weekend last week for the holiday and she got a 5 day weekend this week for the end of her term. She however doesn't get a big break until this summer. Then she will finish up her RN in the fall. We should both be finished with our schooling at the same time in 2011. I am looking forward being school free and I believe she is as well.

Time to spring into action. Lots to do at the old work today.

I have so much to be thankful for this day and everyday. I have a family that while drives me nuts is always there for me. I have an awesome girlfriend that makes me smile a lot everyday. I am thankful she came into my life. I have great friends that love and care about me. I have a awesome son that is awesome in a whole different way. I have a home and job. The list could go on and on forever. I am even thankful for the ex-hubby and his wife. Without the ex-hubby I wouldn't have my son, and with out the wife my son wouldn't have the little sister that he adores. And they both are great people. My life is better for all the people that has touch it and I am more than thankful for each and everyone of them!

On this thanksgiving day I have put the bird in the oven. Checked the stuffing that went in the crock pot last night and gotten everything out to finish up dinner in a bit. The Roo came toddling next door this morning and helped finish the last pie. She helped roll out the pie crust and put the pecan filling in the shell. She then helped put cinnamon and sugar on the slices so we can much the crust. It was yummy!

I am not off to shower and watch the parade since I recorded it while I was cooking. Its not Thanksgiving without the Macy's Parade.

Have a great Thanksgiving and lots of fun with family and friends today. For tomorrow starts the end of the silly season!

I got up late this morning. Not a bad thing as I have no class. Mom had surgery on her knee yesterday to remove bone spurs. Dad showed the before and after pics, and if I want I can watch the whole video! I am thinking not so much. I don't even watch those shows on Discovery and TLC. Not my thing. So I helped change the litter boxes for the 8 cats in the house. I am seriously thinking that for my birthday someone needs to remove a cat from my house. Its cheep and it would make me wondrously happy.

Now I am getting ready to organize my paper writing assignments. I have moved from three papers the week after Thanksgiving to five. I found this week that when I toured my school that I really like they didn't tell me that I had to apply for the social work program. While I have no problem doing so. They just added tons o' pressure. I didn't think that this was something that I could be turned down to be in. What if I screw the pooch and don't get in then what the hell am I goingn to do? KU and UCM are way to far way to go to both are over an hour away. I have four papers due for grades the Weds and Thurs after break. Those not worried about at all. Plus I have a project due as well. I do believe I will crash when the semester is over. But never I or anyone else fear I will get it all done. I will do well! I have said it so shall it be.

Ok Off to work my fingers to the bone until I go to work and cover moms shift.

I have done everything I can think of to avoid doing actual work today. I came home from school and cleaned my room. Finished straightening the spare room. My babies are all out of bags and on the bed which was made with clean sheets. I vacuumed the floor in there and my room. It was in terrible need. I cleaned off my desk and went looking for a desk organizer that I don't need.

I am currently doing this so I once again can stall. I am ready for a break I think. I need to do all of this so I can spend next week writing the papers that need to be done.

Ok, I am actually going to do something productive until I leave for scouts.

I woke up and my TV was not on. I fell asleep watching the 10 most asked questions on foodnetwork.com. My TV had gone to its direct TV screen saver thingy. So call I called my dad and asked if the TV was out downstairs. He said he didn't know he didn't have the TV on but it snowed. And I ran to my window! There was pretty pretty snow. Now I don't want to drive in this stuff (and I will have to in a couple of hours) but its so pretty to look out my window at. I climbed out the window and dusted off the dish and I had TV which was awesome.I like morning news.

It may not be winter as the temps will go back up and the snow will melt, but our cold rain will stay until tomorrow. Then the temps will start going up just a bit. I know I am weird, but gray skies full of rain and snow make me smile. I am a winter kind of a gal. I have thought of moving to Alaska because its this way there more than here. I am such a dork.

Have a great day. I am off to work my magic in the land of studying.

For the first time in a month I don't feel like I am going to die. My head still hurts, and my throat is still sore. But I am not achy and cranky and sore. So yay me!

I need to call [info]luvs_phoenix . We were suppose to hang out last Friday but I was sick and wanted to sleep. So I did. But we love her lots so I am going to call her and see when she has some free time. I am sure she has to work the day after Thanksgiving. But maybe we can find some time coming up soon. I miss her.

My D's mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer's earlier this year. She spent the most of the night at the ER with her. As her mom's pcp can't seem to be bothered to do anything for her panic and anxiety attacks, or give her anything to hopefully give a hand with the Alzheimer's symptoms. She was beat when she got home last night. And the poor thing had a test this morning. She is just so beat. I am going to have to make her brownies and take them over to her. Brownies are wonderful awesome things. Everyone should like the brownie.

I am off to stop stalling and write my last paper due Monday. Its not like it will take me long. I just don't wanna do it.

TTFN Have a great weekend everyone!

My fever is gone. Food makes my tummy hurt. I have accomplished nothing of substance today. I synchronized my blackberry to my computer. I cleaned out my email. I burned some pics to cd.

I have not completed a paper, read a chapter, or looked at focus points. I am sleepy from sitting in front of the computer all day doing nothing that needs to be done.

I am a bad girl. I have been told though that bad girls are good. That being true. I am awesome today.

I am off to see if I can't find something to eat that will not make my tummy hurt and maybe start a paper. Or, maybe I will crawl back into bed with my blankets, and pillows and sleep the rest of the night away.

The latter sounds the best.

Last week it was a sore throat this week it is an upset stomach and some mild fever. I am a bit tired of this if anyone can do something about it I will be very grateful. I didn't go to class yesterday. I couldn't stay awake. I started on papers and had to stop to sleep the rest of the day. I even blew off boy scouts committee meeting.

Now I sit here debating if I should go to school or not. I need to go. I know I do. However, I feel like I got run over by a truck. 

I am thinking I will go. I am going to skip the student run class at 9 though. Maybe I will feel better after a shower and something hot.

Everyone have a good healthy day!

I know everyone is tired of hearing my whine. Me too!

So here is some of my good news. I am officially caught up in all of my classes. For the first time since this semester I have nothing to read, write or figure out. I have a test Friday and I have done all my homework corrections. The tutor at the local community college that I graduated from this spring rocks! David stayed late after the tutoring center closed to help me finish my last problem. I don't know what I would have done without him tonight. I just have to go back tomorrow to figure out the collapsing thingy and I am sooooo done!

So now I am going to go and watch Criminal Minds and talk to my D before we both pass out. I think this weekend after I get paid I will take her to dinner just for being awesome.

Yep, I have a test, a presentation, and an assignment due today. I have the assignment and the presentation done. My partner for the presentation made me nervous cuz she didn't finish her part until last night. But she came through and it looks pretty good. I am doing a cultural proficency presentation on homosexual teens coming out. It seems to be happening much earlier than it use to. My test at nine this morning I am not so sure about. I haven't had the chance to study much. Mr. C has needed so much help this week. He is trying so hard and he is still behind a bit. We are going to be playing catch up clear through Thanksgiving break.


I am now off to get ready and face the day. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Let the silly season begin!! Halloween has come and lots of fun was had while it was here. Now sadly it is over. Its time to think about Thanksgiving dinner in three weeks! And then of course everyone's favorite holiday Christmas!!! Oh my , all that planning and cleaning all wrapped around school work. But it has been said its the most wonderful time of the year. I will believe it till the end.

My birthday is this month(hint hint)and the new Christmas Carol movie is out this weekend. I may take myself to see it on Friday before work. Maybe I will kidnap the gf and force take her to see it with me. Nobody I know seems to get as excited about Christmas as I do. Its not the money or presents. Its all the pretty decorations and traditions that go with it.

Ok, the wonderful ex-hubby just agreed to take Mr.C to scouts tomorrow night so I can get my studying and projects that are due on Weds all done and looking pretty. It will be a full day and I will be exhausted when it is done. But it will all be worth it!

I am off to crawl into bed and read my religion book. We have a quiz this week and if I don't read then then it will be tomorrow and I won't be prepared.

Ok, so the weather is a bit wet and the skies are gray. But I truly love days like this. It makes the pretty color leaves pop against the sky. We are all inside and nice and warm and cozy inside. Even if it is not really all that cold outside. It just lets ya know it really is fall and that makes me smile.

I am not really sure I have anything interesting to say. As, I don't think much of what I say is interesting. But it does help clear the head so new junk can be stored.

I only have 2 projects left to complete and I am all caught up on everything.....for now anyway. I would like to announce that I am thankful for awesome tutors! That put up with me while I am trying to figure out how to do statistics. Because David the tutor is awesome.

My D has been busy and tired lately. She was going to come over and surprise me before I went to work last night. But alas the best laid plans of mice and men. I had to come in and cover the evening shift for my mom. She was feeling burnt out and I was ready to kill her. So I came in and did her shift. So I am going to go and visit her one day this week. She is very patient with me and puts up with my outrageous schedule and life too for that matter.

Ok, I am off to paperwork and getting out of the sweatshirts. Its that time of year again.

Our weather today is comfortable. Not to cold or to hot. Its a little cloudy left over from an early morning rain. I truly like sitting here looking out at all the pretty colors that this time of year brings. It really is a pretty day.

My paper was written and turned in early early this morning. My shadowing experience had been completed this morning as well. I really enjoyed working with the school social worker. I did not even think about all the things that need to be done for our children and their families. There are a lot of people out there that need a hand and are not sure what they need to do or where to go to get started. It has been a very eye opening experience for me.

I am off to my religion class. Today is bring an article to class day that relates to religion in the U.S.


I am off! TTFN

I got an A! Ok, I got 2 A's! I finally got the grade for life span and development this morning after 3 weeks and you could have knocked me over with a feather....91. Then I got my social work grade and I got a 47 out of 50! I swear I almost did a happy dance in the middle of class. I was totally shocked in both cases. I could not believe it. I still can't believe it. (does happy dance again)

I now must go and write a paper I forgot about and get it emailed to my instructor. As it was due.....today. I was forgiven as I had a client that came down with the H1N1 and strep throat. I was a way busy girl this weekend. I still smell like bleach from all the cleaning to make sure no one else got it.

Off to write a great paper and into bed. I finish my shadowing experience in the morning!

I am off to bed after water. I must have water.

Test was not as hard as I thought it would be. I don't know if it was all the studying or if it just wasn't that hard. I have a religion mid term today at 1. So I am hitting the books as I am sick and came home yesterday to lay down for a bit and never got back up.

My D came by last night she thinks she is getting the strep throat, and I have some left over antibiotic. Since those that have known me for a minute or two don't take all of. We watched E news and a Bones rerun all cuddled up. It was nice to have her come by. You can never cuddle up to much.

Ok, off to define religion and figure out which essay questions she will have on the test. Wish me luck and keep your fingers crossed for me.

I have studied my brain to mush. I am still studying. Ok, no I am not I am posting here, but I will be studying again soon. Ok, not until tomorrow because its after one in the morning. Sleep is my friend. It wants me to come and play. So I am going to talk to D on the phone for a few more minutes and then I am going to curl up in a ball and pass out until 7:15am. When I will get up and make cereal and send people off to church. Then I will do my work and study some more.

Once again Hello sleep my old friend. Lets hang for about 3 or 4 hours.

Night all!
