The Awesome Week that Wasn't

I had such high expectations for the last five days   Really High Monday started off gangbusters 48 out of 50 on my Sociology Test 100 on my math quiz (finally) Even the disturbing news that Erik would have to extend until Feb 2014 (he signed his GI Bill benefits over to Zach) couldn't disrupt this awesome blossom day Tuesday started to slide I had a cool project set up for my Tigers that night but forgot all the stuff at home (thank God for my GS mom who brought her stuff!  You saved me "back up Miss Kris"!) I got word that my GI Bill was approved (don't know what I would have done if it wasn't!) Had so much trouble logging onto Blackboard that I didn't get my math homework until almost 11 pm  trust me, I wasn't doing 70 problems of math at 11 at night Wednesday was wild (not really but I like alliteration) Got my first draft paper back - I got 50 out of 100.  WHAT?  Turns out that my formatting was somehow off and I ended up being short three lines - ...

When?

When did it become acceptable to send your sick kids to school and get everyone else sick? My little man got in the car yesterday after school and said "I don't feel good". In the whole five minutes it took us to get home he was running a fever and pale. Now, rude parents, I'm trying to juggle school and a sick boy. After a rough night I made it to math class (thankfully my dearest was able to come home while I went to class). That's one class I really cannot afford to miss. But tomorrow, well, that's not going be so easy. I have Sociology at 8 and English at 11. Dearest can only get home for one and I have to choose. I chose English because it's by far the class I struggle the most with. It was a hard decision because I LOVE Sociology. Weird, huh? To top it off, now my little man is missing school - work that he will have to make up - so when he does get better, he will be unable to enjoy it because he'll be buried under work he missed...

A day like any other....

Since we weren't intending to take a day off school, but we have - the boy is terribly sick and like most of the male species is requiring almost constant attention while ill. So here I sit, not grocery shopping or returning library books or anything else I was supposed to accomplish today and I thought "I'll just write my blog"! Here I am again folks - ready or not! I have some dear long time friends who just put an offer in on their very first house! That first buy is so awesome - it also makes you want to throw up with all the waiting!! So, Shan and Jay I wish you the best of luck - I hope your dream comes true! Last time I blogged I discussed my obsession with being obsessed about something, ANYTHING! Just let me plan and plot and do spreadsheets!! I guess it's the one thing about my old job that I can't get away from - need a spreadsheet? I'm on it! Want me to crunch some numbers? I'm there! I only wish I could organize other parts of my...
