Good Goddess Above! My brain is fried! I bailed on exersising again this evening and my moms immeditally got after me for that. Your going to loose your momentem...blah blah blah.........your starting to loose that water weight...blah blah blah. I kept my kewl and politly informed her that my school work at this time takes priority over any walking or eliptical machine. Then my mother who hasn't been in any form of school (I don't count continuing credits to keep her RN License) for 50 some years, said it shouldn't be that hard to do your work during the day. Mind you my mother didn't go to college college. She went to a 4 year Catholic Nursing school and only took core courses for nursing!
It took me literally all day minus 20 minutes in the morning to take the kids to school and three and half hours this evening (we had a school function to go to for the kids) to complete all but my final essay for this week. I read the main chapter for this week and after looking at next weeks assignment, I don't have to read the other two chapters she went over in our notes this week till NEXT WEEK. I took all my notes, I read everyone's postings, I posted my main posting today and responded over 4 times to other people's main posting (we only have to do 2 for the maxium to recieve a grade), I hunted down two completely different News Editorials to do my assignment. One on the US's No Child Left Behind Law and one from Jeruslum on Ramadan. I wrote, typed, and then posted both articles and my take of appeals and submitted them to the prof. I read 4 different classmates essays and picked one to make suggestions on. I posted my suggestions and printed off next week's assignments and new topic for the next paper. I also wrote down about two dozen ideas to "improve" my final draft of the Self Discriptive Essay, the Prof likes my paper but says I am not descriptive enough. I am going to work in the fact I am actually a very private person til I obtain a comfort level with others:D
I finally got all this done at 10 pm tonight! During the day and all my homework, I managed to get two loads of laundry done, discuss and be interviewed for my girl Teri for one of her papers and gave her some presidential historic information on Jimmy Carter for another paper and consented in talking to my brother for 45 minutes. In the afternoon, the kids and I did our Dollar General run (that is my new wally world:P), killd some time at the Buffalo pasture reading the Historical marker and took a few pictures of the buffalo, then we went up to the school for Family Science night! The kids really enjoyed themselves and now we have to show Randy how to implode soda cans, pull plant DNA, and explode two 2 liters of soda using menthos and life savers! The program was run by one of the NE Medical Center Genetisist out of Lincoln and I think a Highschool Biology teacher out of Omaha! I was a big kid and managed to snag a lil vile of strawberry dna that the kids (all school kids present) helped to pull tonight! I gave it to a lil girl who didn't get any though. Oh and we have to show Randy how to ease a no shell hard boiled egg into a beaker flask with out breaking it and then show him how to get it out!
I don't think I could handle two or three classes this semester for my first semester back. Not with everything I do around this house for everyone including people who don't live in my house! I am doing good if I do say so myself. And tomorrow my "date" with my girl Bree is actually going off with out a hitch! My moms is taking the kids to school for me so I can meet Bree in the morning. We will do her small errands and then Casino HERE WE COME! Randy set me a 100 buck limit and Arjan set Bree a 50 buck limit not counting lunch or any stops we make. Those killjoys know that Bree and I can sit at the casino all day if allowed! As long as we are out of the casino by 2 pm to pick up our respected kids all is good! I won't even complain about having to drive to the city tomorrow night for TKD and then kill two hours before my Leadership class AFTER our actual TKD class!
