So proud

For any of you that know Annabelle, you know that she is pretty shy. Well this week at dance camp has been soo good for her. I spoke to her teachers today and they told me that she is being very good, listens well, doesn't cause trouble, pays attention well. Wow, I'm so proud of her. I was a little concerned when we put her in, but she seems to be doing so well! She is having lots of fun and seems to be making some friends. She has been showing us some of her dances, like her elephant dance, and she is soo darn cute! I'm glad that we signed her up for this, she is growing in so many ways! Way to go BuggyBoo!

Can I do it? I'm going to try!

I am aiming to make a 90 on my next test. I got an 88 on my last one, so a 90 is just a few points higher! I have been studying hard, but taking a little break for the night. I really need to keep my grades up so I can take my next class. But I am going to keep working and hopefully I will make that 90! Whoohoo!

cool

Reading, and more reading...

Yeah, reading. But not that fun relaxing kind. The kind that you walk away from and go, "OMG, am I going to remember ANY of this? How much of that is going to be on the test? Are my notes good enough? Am I taking TOO many notes? Will I have time to reread ALL of this stuff?" Stressful reading.
I read just about half of my chapter tonight. It was a lot of work. I can finish the rest in the afternoon, then start on the last half. Then study for my quiz. Then prep for chapter 10. I am sooo looking forward to being done with this class. I am praying to do well and doing the best that I can. But, once I am done with this class I can take my patho class. Then I will be just about done with the prereqs for Surgical Technology.

Buggies big day!

Annabelle had her first dance class today! She is going to dance camp at the school where Gwen dances. She is soo very excited about it! She got a new leotard and tights, and couldn't wait to wear them! She had SOOO much fun! She is looking forward to tomorrow. She will be in camp until Thursday. It's a big deal for her because Annabelle can be very shy. So getting her around new kids and teachers is really difficult for her most of the time. But she did great and wasn't afraid or anything. She danced, did a little craft and ate lunch at the studio. She was exhausted when we got home.
While she was in class, we took Gwen and William shopping. Phil stopped at the 99 cent store and Big Lots. Then we took Gwen to Jazz Rags and bought her a new leotard for her upcoming classes and we tried to get her shoes, but they didn't have her width. So they are transferring some and I guess they will call us when they are in.
Now the girls are sleeping, and I am hanging with William. I have lots of homework to do, so will have to get to that soon.

like it or leave it

I've spent a lot of time worrying about getting certain people to like me. And hard as I try I have realized that I just don't fit in with a lot of them. So, I have decided to just back off and if they like me that's great but if not that's there problem. If they would actually take time to get to know me instead of being so judgemental they would really like me, I think. I've spent a lot of my life trying to get people to like me. And I'm not going to do it any more. I am funny and smart and have a lot to offer. If people chose to not get to know me because I don't fit their mold, that's their loss. I'm not saying I'm the greatest thing ever, and I realize that not everyone likes everyone else. I'm just not going to try to change who I am for people who don't care any way. :) I'm me, that's it. Jesus loves me even if others don't like me and my loud self.

Worth it

So I decided to go for the 30 days of brown rice and veggies thing. BUT today Phil brought home taco bell for me for doing well on my test and improving my grade so much. As well as to celebrate some stuff in my brothers life. SO, today I had tacos for lunch and will finish the last couple for dinner. But tomorrow I will be back on track with my diet! But it was so nice of him to go get my favorite food for us! What a great hubby I have! So while I broke my diet, it was worth it. I will just start back up tomorrow.

And now we come to the pay off

So, I studied my rear off for two weeks, and made an 88 on my Anatomy Exam! YES! I have been making 80's and my goal was a 90. But 88 is close enough! I'm really excited about it!

Work Harder

So I need to work harder in my Anatomy class. I am making 80's on my test and that really isn't as good as I would like. I really need to spend more time studying and taking notes from my chapters. Especially since I have a quiz and two tests this week, including a lab next Saturday. So, I will be spending less time online and more time with my notes and books. I am hoping for an A in this class. I have to pass this class to take the next class I need, Pathopysiology. Sounds exciting huh? I can't imagine how much harder that class will be. I am also taking Medical Terminology next semester. But hopefully all this work ahead of time will pay off, I'll be taking substantially fewer classes if I make it into the Surgical Tech program.

I am also thinking of starting a different diet. I was thinking about going on a brown rice and veggies diet. Just to see how I would feel. I am thinking of doing it for 30 days. Which coincidentally is about how many days of Anatomy class I have left.

Big Things

I feel like big things are coming up for me and my family. Hoping that maybe there is some fulfillment of dreams. Maybe I will get the chance to sing or something. Who knows, I just know that something is coming! Can't wait to see what it is! I am supposed to lead worship for the kids this Sunday. It' going to be great. I really enjoy leading for the kids. But I haven't even picked my two songs. Sigh, I will though. It seems to be so hard to pick two songs. I'm not sure why. Hopefully someday it will be easier. Sundays are still a little tough for me. But it will get better.

Fun Times

We made yummy snickerdoodles today! They were soooo good! The girls were super happy because they got to help out. Annabelle loooves to cook so this was really great for her. William and Gwen were really more excited to EAT the cookies. Uncle Ron came over to help make cookies and stooped and got some chicken on the way over. Dinner was awesome! We went swimming after Phil got home from class, BEFORE he left for work. William is such a good swimmer, he LOVES the pool. Annabelle likes to be thrown around in the pool. The higher the better. Gwen is working hard on learning to swim, although she is tall enough to stand up in the pool, but she is coming along quite well. She wants to be able to swim before we go to Florida.

Right now I am actually supposed to be studying and getting ready for my quiz that opens tomorrow, but I needed a little brain break.

Ron and I spent the day watching country music videos, mostly of songs we remember from being kids. Still so great! I have decided that I am going to sing country music. Watch out vocal team! ( not that they will read this or give me the chance to sing any country. ) LOL. But that's ok, I will sing it here and to anyone else who likes to hear it!
So, all in all it was a really great day. Especially when we found out that William looks like Kenny Chesney when you put his cowboy hat on him. And flip flops. It's stinkin adorable!

Whoot!

I got an A in my pharmacology class! YAY! One class closer to Surgical Tech!

so busy..

We have been SOOO busy the last couple of weeks! Summer classes are KILLER! I just finished my Pharmacology class, now I just have to survive Anatomy! But, I did get my Surgical Technology application turned it! Yay!

The kids are really enjoying the slower pace of summer "school". They don't have much homework to do, but there is still some. I just don't want them wasting time and not learning anything. So we have them working on in between grade books. Gwen is moving on to third grade soon, so she is working on getting ready for that. I can't believe she's going into third grade! And she is only seven! Smart girl!

There really isn't much to share, we haven't had time to do much. We go to church at least three times a week, ballet once a week, and I have a lab class every two weeks.

Gwen is loving her summer ballet class! She is having so much fun! We missed last week because William hurt himself and we couldn't make it. But he is better and we should be able to go tomorrow. Fun stuff.

I am watching all my kids sit and color together in the living room, they are such good kids. I am one blessed momma! I have the best kids ever. :0)
