Good Morning All. I hope that everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving and the weekend! Mine was fantastic (well for the most part lol)

Thursday...loaded up and headed out to my FIL's to drop off Bella. Came back down and spent the day with my mom and step dad eating yummy food and watching the Lions game. Ate a lot emoticon

Friday...took the kids and went with FIL to a kids hand on museum in Lansing. That was a ton of fun even for us! Came back to FIL's to find Bella swollen eyes almost shut having an allergic reaction and had to take her to an emergency vet. She had to get a shot of benadryl and a steriod. Took a couple days for the swelling to go down but she looks good now. I believe that she had an allergic reaction to swiffer wet jet when the kids OVERCLEANED (lol) Grandpas floor. Bella went in there, not sure if she just inhaled the fumes or if the kids accidently sprayed her.

Saturday...Me and Jason took off and did a little shopping, came back to FIL's and cooked Thanksgiving dinner with him. Ate a lot again. Ate Thanksgiving leftovers all weekend even for breakfast emoticon Watched the Michigan/Ohio St game (bummer!)

Sunday...Packed up early and came home. Relaxed for a bit, put up the tree, and then relaxed some more and went to bed early.

Monday...long day back to school emoticon came home and spent way too long trying to write a bried report of my findings for this excel crap for my oper. mgmt class due today. Plus tried to do some of the study guide for today's exam. I need to get my grade up in this class. Right now I have a D+ and I need at least a C- to not have to retake the class. I don't care how many times I read the book or listen to the lectures, none of it makes any sense. I really wish she didn't use her own book. I think that this is why even reading the books doesn't help. She is one of those who doesn't answer questions either.

Tuesday...Exam in my horrible oper. mgmt class. Then I have a few more decorations to put up outside. And of course more homework. Have to write an analysis paper on 2 WSJ articles for Acc. and then work on the ppt for my group presentations along with my spanish lab for spanish. 3 weeks and 1 day left in this semester! Can't wait, worst semester by far!

Lipo Slim...has anyone ever heard of this? Or tried it? I saw an article on it last night and decided to order the free trial. I need a lil help getting back on this wagon! I have no extra energy to do any extra workout. My eating has went out the window lately. Guess we'll see!

Well I hope everyone has a fantastic day!!!

    You have had a busy weekend and week so far. I'm not surprised though as you're always busy. LOL. You are doing such a great job though handling it all. I know it may not feel like it but you have to remember your circumstances whenever you have an off day. The rest of your life does affect your healthy choices. Good luck on your exam (though you've probably already taken it by now). Keep up the wonderful work!

    With that kind of class load, no wonder you don't have any extra energy. Does your college have tutoring available? Or do you know anyone who has taken this lady's class before that could help you out? Have you tried talking to her during office hours instead of during class? Maybe she would be more receptive one on one.

Hang in there, 3 weeks will fly by.

Starting over 38-40 Updates & THanksgiving

Monday, November 19, 2012

What a great weekend! Got so much accomplished :)

Friday...Don't feel that I did so great on my Spanish quiz. But I don't think 1 lower grade will hurt. It wasn't as bad as I expected but I am not sure if I got my A maybe a B so thats ok :)

Saturday...Familys pics (yes if you haven't seen it already I have posted some) went great! I loved the new studio! They did an awesome job. Kids were lil troopers as we were there for a little over 2 hours for the whole process. Took the kids next door to the studio to Coldstone (which I didn't get anything but I did have a bite of each of the kids to try) while we waited for the pics to print. I love that I get my pics same day. Then came home, kids went to Grammas for the night and me and Daddy relaxed for the night.

Sunday...I cleaned my horrible house! Took me forever in the kitchen. But hubby went and got a new mop for me and I got my floors done properly! Put the totes of pool accessories away. 1 tote left in the kitchen but that is my Halloween decor and we will be taking that to be stored at FIL's house. Put some of the new pics up on the wall. But we got some many pics this time I need like 6 or 7 more frames. Just have to figure out where they are going. Probably some in my bedroom. Not much wall space. Got most of my Christmas cards/pics filled out just have a few more to address and they will be in the mail tomorrow :)

Monday...Long day at school, sinus headache, really foggy, and sooo tired. Couldn't fall asleep last night after Walking Dead so watched a movie, didn't get to sleep til 11:30 and got up at 5:30.

Today is my last day of class for the week. Kids have a normal day at school today then tomorrow Evie has a half day. Then have to be at her school again an hour after she gets out for conferences. I have to get some homework done and the laundry. Then on Wednesday, I have a couple things to cook that I am taking to my moms Thurs. Thursday we will be heading to my FIL's to drop off the dog, then over to my moms for the day for Thanksgiving dinner and football, then back to FIl's for the rest of the weekend. We are making dinner for him on Friday. Then Saturday we will be doing the kids Christmas shopping for him.

Not sure if I will be making another blog this week as I will be busy with preparations for having a nice relaxing 4 days of nothing :) So I want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving and safe travels for those traveling this week.

    You'll find someone. Contact your church youth pastor or a nearby church and I bet they can recommend some of their reliable teen or college members who are willing to earn a few extra bucks!

    I know you'll figure something out by then, and that's great news for now. Does your school have a daycare center? Most colleges have some type of daycare for students or have a deal with a center close by even. I know that's pricey, but for a few hours a week it might be worth looking into.

Starting Over 35-37 GREAT NEWS

Friday, November 16, 2012

The last few days have been so hectic I don't think I can even do day by day post lol

Lets see Tues night I only worked on my Spanish lab that was due Wed.

Wed Long day at school, picked up the kids and came home and made a nice wholesum meal. Which was nice considering I have been so busy so its been TV dinners or fast food more than we should.

Thurs My Oper MGMT teacher decided to change our exam and due date of excel homework from this comig Tues to the Tue after Thanksgiving. YAY more time to study considering I got a D+ on the 1st exam. But she take the grades for best 2/3. We had to go to the mall last night to get out outfits for pics. We are doing a dark purple theme this year. I of course had issues finding me a nice shirt. Just makes me sick how much weight I have gained back! I am thinking about looking into the south beach diet. I think I want someone to get me for Christmas is the Zumba Exhilirate DVD set. I really want my moms treadmill but I am not sure that I want to get rid of my fireplace to put it in my living room. Not that we use the fireplace for anything more than to put things on. I don't know what to do.

Fri...After kids get out of school taking them to get haircuts. GOing to start on some analysis paper due next Wed. Got to get some stuff done in my house. It is ridiculous! TOmorrow is family pictures.

Still haven't heard anything about my bloodtest. GOing to send her a note this morning.

Hope everyone has a terrific weekend!!

    are you like me and have to function on overload or nothing gets accomplished? If I have only a little to do, nothing will get accomplished. I have to be overloaded to be productive it seems, otherwise procrastination gets me every time.

  Hola! :) I saw your comment about Spanish. I'm an elementary Spanish teacher. :) If you have difficulty with any concepts, feel free to write and I'll help any way I am able. I teach rather non-traditionally... through awesome online music videos and games to make it more relevant and fun for my students and am more than happy to share my links with you. Buena suerte!
