Well today i am going to be visiting with my sister leslie. we have a lot to plan for out annual vender's/ craft fair that we do each year. we are actually a little behind on the planning this year but then again we have had a lot of things going on in our lives at home. We have to figure out a date and get a hall together to have it at. then we have to to get participants to attend.

Along with all that I have been getting a head start on my macroeconomics class. I started by going through all the key terms and concepts as well as the chapter summary of each chapter.

I have a total of 5 chapters plus the appendix done so far. i even went as far as color cordinating the paper to each. one color for key terms and concepts and another color for the chapter summary. I am putting them in a three ring binder and leaving a section for notes that i will take in class as well as a section for assignments.

I am still waiting on my college algebra 2 & trig. bbok to arrive so i can take a look at that and get familarized with all the terms and applications that i will be doing in the class.

Along with all that we had our downstairs neighbors move out yesterday and while they were moving out the grandson decided he was going to take it upon himself to help himself to the toys in our garage without asking and eneded up popping the kids pool. So now my kids are without a pool for the rest of the summer and they were actuallu looking forward to going in it today. When i proceeded to tell the mother of the child she said well he was not suppose to be outside playing in the first place and went about her cleaning of the apartment. so when the mother who actually was renting the apartment came by today to get he last of her stuff i told her once again about the grandson poppin gthe pool wht a toy that he was not to have in the first place. she was very nice and said she would pay to replace the pool. Which i feel she should of done in the first place since it was her grandson that popped it. Actually the mother should pay for it but since the mother is not working, the grandmother is stepping up.

well i am going to end this post now since Leslie should be here very soon and we need to get to work on things.

Hope all have a nice and enjoyable day today.

Well today was my second day back in classes. They are going alright. I have biology and I am ot liking it one bit so far. I never really liked it in the first place.
My instructor is getting on my nerves already. he has us doing this assignment where you have to pick a food item and a portion size but yet at the same time you can not have one that someone else in the class picked.

well needless to say i picked strawberries and after i had gottenthe paper all written and was ready to post it I saw that someone else had posted their paper on strawberries. I am not happy, because when i started my paper there was no one else doing strawberries. so i emailed the instructor and asked him if i have to redo the assignment iwth another food item or can i still post mine since the portion size it different. So now i have to wait to hear back from him.

But my international business class is going alright so far. have not come aross any problems in that class yet. Another good thing about that class is that i have friend in class with me that happens to live only 20 miutes from me. I met her in my very first class at school. we try to meet once a week now for coffee or something else to eat. We are trying to help each other along in the class. It is nice having online classes and actually finding someone in your class that lives close to you and you can actually meet in person and do things with.

I have to say that by going back to school and taking all my classes online now i have made a few new friends from different states. we actually talk to each other on the phone every now and then besides emailing each other.

Other than that thing her are going great. the kids are excited that it is getting warmer out now but not much warmer. they did get to play outside for a bit over the weekend though. I am actually looking forward to the warmer weather to come and stay so i can get out of the house and enjoy the time outside even if it may only be sitting on the porch doing school work myself while the kids are playing in the yard.

well now that i got my internet back and i know it is working jsut fine i promise to try to get in here on a more regular basis.

well my classes for school officially started yesterday and i am happy to say i have all this weeks assignments in for my computer class already. so now i just have to work on my management and leadership class assignments that are due no later than sunday at 12:00pm CT

The kids ended up having an early dismissal today. they got out 2 hours early. wait till you here this, well actually read it, They ended up getting out at 1:30 instead of 3:30. the superintendent of the school called and left a message on my answering machine to let me know about the early dismissal. the call came at 2:07pm. Now remember the kids got out at 1:30 today. so i ended up getting the call AFTER they were already out. How stupid is that. well anyway i knew about teh early dismissal since i was on the computer i was keeping a watch on it.

I am tired right now form being up earlier that normal the past two days now. I have a chat session in my one class that starts at 7am. So i have been getting up around 6-6:30 to make sure i have coffee in me so i am awake enough to participate in the chat. Now usually Matt lets me sleep in a little longer in themorning while he gets the coffee ready and michael ready for school. so i usually do not get up till about 7:30-8:00 am. So needless to say the pot of coffee i make in the morning is a fuller pot that matt usually makes and i noticed i have been making an extra pot later in the afternoon as well jsut to stay awake and fuctional throughout the day.

By the way some of you may remember be saying about birthdays coming up soon. Well Zachary's is tomorrow and we are suppose to have sleet and freezing rain through out the night so i am sure i will not get over to see him tomorrow but i am planning on calling him either way.
He knows he is not getting alot from me tomorrow and i will make it up to him with the income tax money. He is going to be 17 tomorrow.

well that is about all i have to say for today. but i should be blogging again real soon expecially if i get all my school work done ahead of time each week.

One more thing. WELCOME BACK ONLINE SIS!!! If you are reading this I have missed talking to you online. the days seemed longer for some reason with not talking ot you. Hope CJ feels better soon.
