School days

Wow, Its been a long time since I wrote on my blog. I'll have to post some of my writing assignments. It looks like I haven't written since I lost my dog. Well I still miss him. However.... It has been nice not having to clean up after him or walk him. Just a few more weeks till the end of this semester. Life is good

A week off

Today I finished my two classes I have been taking at UVU. I got an A in both of them. Yes I am patting myself on the back. Eight credits done and a lot more to do. The beginning of this block my daughter told me it would be really hard for me to do 8 credits for this block. Today she told me my classes are going to get harder and I'm not going to be able to get as good of grades in them. I hope I keep proving her wrong. The only class I'm not sure of this next semester is my math class. Time will tell. My prayer is on December 17th I will writing a post saying, "my classes are all finished I got A's in all of them.

Over Achiever

I have my first week of school under my belt my jitters are going away. I'm finding I am an over achiever. I worked on a paper for two days rewriting it 4 times. I asked the professor when it was due and what format he wanted us to turn it in, he says "Oh you don't need to turn it in. We might just talk about it in class. It was for your benefit!" I stressed out over getting the book we needed and printing the materials we would go over in class. Most of the students who come to class haven't purchased the book and don't have the materials printed. Yesterday was an"on-line class day" if we had questions the professor would be on -line to help us, today he announces that your not to e-mail the questions it's a live chat opportunity. I haven't grown up using computers and being computer savvy, I do know my way around a bit (if all else fails click and search). Here I am with kids that have graduated, some college experience,or adults that have worked and are taking some classes.I was able to figure out the procedure. I hope this college stuff is going to be a piece of cake after working and living in the real world for a long time.

May Madness

The past 10 days have been madness here was the agenda: 2 of my kids had birthdays, my niece had a baby, other niece graduated, 3 dance recitals for my daughter, my parents where here,my brother and his son both had birthdays,my daughter (D) bought a car, summer school started, once a week tumbling class at 7:30am started. Those are the added events not to mention the regular college classes my daughter(K) is taking. On top of all that I had to decide what college degree I want to apply for. My lawn mower broke it's under warranty if I can show a receipt. I took my car to a car lot to see if they can sell it(below what I owe). Tried taking a practice test for college placement my youngest daughter had to help me out with the math I failed the English. It's time to clean out the cob webs and educate myself on the basics of Math, Science and English and find the receipt for the lawn mover!

Road Trip

I drove 1600 miles in the last 4 days, talk about a fast trip. I made the journey to the Northwest to move my middle daughter from college, it's nice when everything goes according to the plan. The only thing that was not part of the plan was my computer crashing, lucky for me my dad has some good computer geeks who worked for 2 days saving my files and getting my laptop up and running.
Ouch that wasn't in the budget!
It's nice to have my three daughters under one roof (my roof). I have my youngest ready for school next year, I spent the day helping the middle daughter register for school and look for a job. I guess being a mom your needs always come behind the children s'.
