"Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied." -Douglas Adams
What was I suppose to be doing again? So I ended up with 3 B’s and a B+ in my 4 classes.*** And so it’s done. Moving on to the next semester (Jan 9th!) Work is going well, I’m getting some decent hours in. The kids are here and are out of school already. The [...]
Only I don’t have the tree up yet. That’s next weekend. But LYC and I did a bunch of Christmas shopping for the kids yesterday. It’s hard for me, I’ve never been a big gift giver because “you’re suppose to” and with money as tight as it is… I find myself being very Scrooge-like. Actually [...]

The kids made me breakfast in bed (since they missed out on that for Mother’s Day), complete with an adorable new coffee mug. (like this one but with words). Kelly had bought it on the Myrtle Beach trip and kept it [...]
Things have been going along swimmingly. Classes are great, I think I’m finally getting the hang of my student nurse gig, the kids have been pretty decent about getting up and going to school, no major fights over homework, I’ve been keeping up with scouts, soccer, etc. And then I got sick today. At 4pm [...]
