Routine again

Today is the first day of school for the kids as well as myself. Summer flew by. It just seems like it started and now it is over already. This means back to studying, homework, going to bed early and getting up early. This also means that our life will be back to a routine again and that is a good thing. I don't know about the rest of you but summer tends to be a time in our home where we don't keep a schedule, we don't go to bed early and we definitely don't get up early. So I am looking forward to the routine again. I feel more organized and in control when we are back to getting into a routine. My goal this year is ORGANIZATION!!! I am going to get a calendar and write all our appointments on it in different colors so we can know at a glance who has what to do, or who has what appointment to go to. I am also going to buy a lot of organization stuff! I don't want anything to be out of place b/c when it is it drives me crazy!!! So hopefully everything will have a place and everything will be in its place..well that is the goal anyways...we will see if it becomes a reality!

Frustrated

A couple weeks ago I dropped my cell phone down a well or a sewer or whatever it is called. It is quite frustrating because although I didn't have the phone active at the time, it has all my phone numbers on it so I feel completely lost without it. It was basically my phone book and my home phone book is so outdated. I have no ones number anymore and it makes me want to cry. So now I have to ask everyone what their number is AGAIN. Silly I know but still it was so frustrating. It seems like these things are always happening to me!

Baseball season!

You know that summer is getting near when baseball practice starts. My son has played baseball since he was 5 years old. He really loves the sport and is a huge Tiger's baseball fan. He knows stats that most do not, he knows the players as well as a lot of stats and information on players of other teams. To be honest, my son hasn't always been that good of a player but he loved it so much it didn't really seem to matter to him. This year I held him back to the same league instead of moving him up. I felt that he was timid because of the better players and I just wanted him to feel better about his own skills this year. His dad and I have worked with him and I am pleased to say that he is pretty good. I have watched him at his practices and the other day he hit 9 out 10 balls to the outfield!! Yeah Parker. You can just look at him and see how much his confidence has improved. I had one parent (a friend of ours) tell me how good he was. That made us feel good. He said that he was good enough to get on the Renegade team, which is a travel baseball team. I am a very proud mom and I am here to tell you that if people practice enough and want to improve it can be done. Just look at my boy!

sick and tired of college

I am so tired of school right now! I can't wait til I get out for the semester. I will be done with all my pre-req's at the end of this semester. I took my CPR certification test yesterday and I have my final one next week where we do CPR on a dummy and then 2 person CPR. I am happy that I know how to do it now, but I never want to have to do it that is for sure. I am going into Respiratory Therapy so the chances of me having to perform it is pretty good. I think that I will be okay once I have done it a few times but to come across someone randomly..well I think that would freak me out. We have learned that the chances of actually saving someone is only around 7-8%...not very good odds. I am tired of tests, don't teachers realize that I am old and my brain don't work that way?? lol... I have done pretty well, except I didn't realize that my online class had an assignment due yesterday, so I guess that grade just plummented. I don't think that I will another online class because it is so easy to put off or just forget to check. I am so dense sometimes!! Well I have about 6 weeks left of this semester and then I am done until I can get into my program, which is a year waiting list as of right now.
