Semester Woes...

Well I have decided to skip this semester and just chill. I think that I have burned myself out a little bit. I took some pretty full class loads last year and even this fall it was a bit of a stretch. So I think a semester off is just what I need. It's nice to just go home after work instead of going to school until 9 and then going home so that I can study some more.

I have my own little aggrivations happening at home, but I choose not to get into them right now. Olivia and I had fun last night. We went to High School Musical the Concert. I didn't think that I would like it too much but it was fun. Of course all of the singers that have a little bit of a solo career had to get in that their albums would be out soon and you could hear all the kids telling their parents that they would want it. Olivia wanted a CD of one of the girls at the concert and I told her I would rather buy it at Target give the price difference. I don't really know anyone that would be stupid enough to buy a CD at a concert unless it was one that you couldn't get anywhere else...but even then I'm sure you could find it on the internet somewhere.

Well that is all I have for right now...and C if you are reading this and it is 6:30 or 7 in the morning you should get off of the computer and wake everyone up instead so that you're not rushing everyone later, there are more productive things you can be doing with your time also...

And So It Begins...

Another semester at CCSN. It shouldn't be as demanding as the last two semesters because I could only afford to take one class. Math...I know...eww. Well that should make it nice and hard for this spring.

I am all better, no more Flu and the cough is pretty much gone. It took long enough. The curse has fallen upon me but atleast I am able to function with that going on as opposed to the flu.

There is a lot going on around here, atleast with the kids and I...Cisco on the other hand is just working and that is about it. Anthony's birthday is next week and I am taking him and a little friend of his out to dinner and then a movie tomorrow followed by a boy's sleepover. That should drain a good amount of energy from me. The next week I am taking Olivia to go and see High School Musical the Concert, so that should be fun. A bunch of screaming girls...actually it will be fun! The week after that I am taking Anthony to see "Love" for his birthday present from me. It is going to be busy and hectic with family but it's going to get real interesting with work now too. I am going to be put in charge of the design part of a remodel at the Park Towers Condo's at one of the unit's there. I have my first meeting tomorrow and I think from that point out I will find out what I am in for.

I think that it will be fun to finally be doing something different than sitting in the office all day doing billing and listening to Jerry Springer. The one good thing about getting out of the office more is that my grandmother is going to live with my mom now. She is the devil himself. I can't stand that woman. I am going to make sure that I go to the bathroom before I leave the house and take my lunch to work everyday so that I don't have to come out until it's time to go home. I'm going to start going to work around 7am instead of the 9:30-10:00 just so that I can leave at 3:00 when I pick up the kids and stay at home. I hope that it doesn't get as bad as I think it will...wish me luck!

UM...Why Me...

I feel like someone just kicked me in the head and then I was run over by a semi-truck. Yes, I think that is the best way to describe how this Flu has affected me.

I don't know who to thank for this little gift that I have been given. Anthony? Olivia? Someone that I don't know? Who knows? All I do know is that I am ready to stop feeling this way and to actually get some real sleep now. I haven't slept because I can't stop coughing, I have a constant headache from my sinuses and from the coughing also and from not sleeping.

I can't remember the last time I had the flu, it has been years maybe even a decade, the fact that I don't remember means that it's been a long time.

Everyone has received this little post holiday gift, Anthony, my mom, Rick and even people that aren't even living with us in our family. I have decided that next year I am going to get a flu shot. I don't know if it will work or if it makes a tremendous difference, but it's worth a try.
