W'a's up?
Hehe W'a's up? Okay. I sat on the fence and decided I had to do something with the my life and get started in a direction that would satisfy me when my children are gone from my nest. I decided that I needed to go back to college and finish what I started 13 years ago. It took a total of 2 hours to re-enroll and set up my education plan. I am going to be teacher. I wanted to be a teacher way back then and that hasn't changed. Of course, spending a day in a classroom full of 7 year olds is enough to make me question my sanity. LOL
I am finally over the Pneumonia and I have a diagnosis for the sinus problems.... I need surgery. Not rushing off to the operating table though. I am medically maxed out and so far I am finding enough relief to live with it. We spend over $300 in one month on office visit co-pays and medication for Todd jr. and I. Crazy.
I watched my oldest son blossom on stage. He chose to sing for the talent show and he got a slot. He sang "Walking in Mephis" using only the music. (no artist singing ) and he rocked! When he hit the high note, the crowd burst out in cheer and clapping. It was my proudest moment yet. I was proud that he sang so well (but that comes natural), but I was more proud that he stood on that stage and faced his peers, ( who aren't always very nice to him) and showed them something they didn't know about him and flaunted his confidence.. which they can't take away.
I got another dog. Well, I got suckered into another dog. A little dog no less. He belonged to the In-Laws and I couldn't let them give him away. I have grown fond of him and he is kinda neat. I still don't know what to do with something that small... If he weighs 15lbs, that would be amazing. I am used to 70lbs or more. My Rottweiler was 125lbs. Now, THAT is a dog.
I miss my Lucy so much. It still hurts and I still cry, but not as much or as often. Time heals the edge.
The house remodel is going and I am so over it. LOL. Packing is the hardest job. I want to throw it all away. So much STUFF. To much STUFF. Freaking rediculous. I haven't gone looking for anything that is packed... guess I really didn't need it in the first place. There is so much to do .. more and more painting and it seems to never end. There are more plumbing problems that keep popping up. I have no shower and only one bathtub that works. I have one toilett that works and one toilett that needs the water turned off and on as needed. PAIN IN THE ASS. The kitchen will be ripped out in a few weeks. Can't wait for that disaster. If it would rain, I would start the landscaping. But we are in a drought and the wells are drying up and the canals are so low, you could wade through some of them. Scarey.
School will be out in 12 days. Summer vacation. YEA! I am so ready to stop the rat race every morning and afternoon. I drive my kids to school. 3 days a week it is 2 trips and the other 2 days it is 4 trips. ( the oldest one stays after ). There are a couple of people who think I am nuts for driving my kids instead of using the bus. However, the driver my kids' had...didn't speak a lick of English. So, I removed them from the bus full-time in January. I am home, no reason I can't transport my own children.
My very good friend has Cancer. That is very hard for me to face. I want to believe that the Dr.'s will come up with something else instead. I swear to GOD, I didn't stand in her bathtub, in a pool of her blood, doing my living best to keep her from going into shock.. only to lose her to such a hideous disease that I am powerless to stop.
Okay, I am done. I have eaten several pounds of chocolate today. I think I am trying to self-medicate. Heavy sigh. I think I better get back on my Prozac. Only, I am no good at taking it consistently. I really need a nagger to make me take it everyday. Kinda hard to find someone who is willing to take on that role. What a pain in the ass I am.
Okay, well, I am going to bed. Amy will be so happy that she kicked me in the ass. I am glad she said something to make me come post. I need a nagger for that too. I hope that Cindy posts. I like reading her stuff.
okay, night then.

How long before you move? I commend you are starting back to college. You will make a wonderful teacher.
One of these days when my life settles down, I want to go back to school also, but I want to be a nurse. Inspire me by getting through it first...then we will see how I feel. :o)
And I envy you. I have no chocolate right now to gorge on. I have gorged on way to much lately. I have gained everything back.
Stress is a booger. Take your prozac.
