Anywho.  I passed my English Comp Class with a 101.75%.  I got full points for the abstract, ant. bib, outline, and precise(sp?) notes.  And I got a 195 out of 200 for the final 10-12 page paper.  What makes me made about this is the ONLY person to give me kudos is the same person who is my biggest fan about going back to school.  Dipshit (that would be Randy), my parents, other friends and family they all just said oh.  Fuckers.

One would think I would have all the time in the world now to fully decrustify my house since I have been off of school since last Thursday.  Oh no.  The kids have been going to practice now for two weeks.  We started games on Monday. 

Some very good things came out of me going ballasitc on those bratty kids and getting after the coach about not controlling the boys team.  Now one of the guys that runs the baseball and softball associsation in the town they play for is monitoring the boys practice.  Come to find out his son is on the team.  He gave me MASSIVE kudos for makign the general apology helped the teenybopper feild some parental phone calls and explained to them I had issues with only two of the boys and he heard the whole thing while he was helping his wife coach their daughters 12 and under softball team.  I do have a little fall out from a couple sets of parents but over all most of the parents are very friendly and a few have made overtures of making a point of backing me up about the way things are ran based off of last names and who lives where.  Coltin is now having a lot of fun as are the other 3-5 boys who were constantly being harassed for one reason or another.

My goal for my week off of school before I start my one summer class is to just keep the crust out of the house!  The kids have been told we will be having a house cleaning party either Friday or Saturday. 

I start class on the 26th.  We are taking a family camping trip to the Damm on the TRADATIONAL Memorial Day Weekend (that would be the last weekend of May).  The month of June I don't get to play anymore.  Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are all game days for the kids.  Plus at least one to two tournies in June for both kids.  I have class that doesn't end until the end of June either.  WiFi connections in the towns are going to be my life savers!  Randy has been very busy even if the other guys haven't.  I don't think I will see him much this summer at all.  I have only seen him once so far this week and that was simply due to a transformer fire at one of the Army Corp Damm's he was suppose to go finish his project up.  No not his work that caught fire.  The fire was outside.  He is working on electrical and controls in the Damm control center.  He was home when we got home from DeLaney's game last night.  Surpised all three of us.

Regardless if Randy is able to come with us or not this year, the kids and I made a family decision that we will go to either MN's Adventureland or KS's Worlds/Oceans of Fun for a full weekend.  And we will do one major camping trip.  Simply because Randy bailed on us going to the BlackHills.  It has been put on the table via DeLaney to go to Yellowstone, Coltin put the Blackhills/Badlands on the table and I put a combo package on the table of hitting both plus making a pit stop outside of Denver to meet up with some of mommy's friends.  Possibly to have them pick a decent but not too toursity camping site that is close to them also!

Randy isn't sure what to make of us saying he doesn't get a choice at all.  He either goes or doesn't.  He understands but doesn't like it. 

Well that is about it for now.  Here is a run down on what we have done or gotten in the last week to two weeks:

Coltin:  Took one for the team on his first game.  Sporting a deep bruse on his arm and a faint bruse on his side.  Shook it off like a pro with minor tears and then ran the bases.  (I missed my boy's first game:()  The boys lost a close game 11-9.  Way to play as a team panther boys!

DeLaney:  Signed up for band for next year and going to be taking summer sax lessons free of charge via the school in June.  (Yay more running for mommy!)

DeLaney:  Was up to bat 3 times and hit all three time with two RBI's.  Her team won their first game!  yay Panther Girls!

Coltin:  Finally got his Rose Trantula and has been having a feild day feeding embryo mice and meal worms to the fuzzy additon to the family. 

Randy:  Has been all over Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska working on service calls, bids, and laying out new projects.  Will soon be heading possibly out to Idaho for a potential bid customer! 

Me:  Have yet to make use of my burn ring (thanks Nebraska Wind!), passed my class, is signed up for full time classes in the fall, and was awarded one of twelve Student Ambassordor slots for the next school year at my jr. college!   (nobody but you all know this yet!  I figure nobody listens to me around my house so why bother telling them)

Wish me luck on my Basic Fundlemental Biology Class this summer!  They are starting the first three weeks/chapters out with basic chemistry!  I have never taken chemistry!
