What a Day !

Boy what a day it has been. I am utterly exhausted. Little Mr. Daniel I believe has hit his terrible two's a bit early. Talk about your wild child. I believe "wild child" is his middle name. Today he managed to run and charge my mom's kitchen window. He went hands and head first completely through it. How he managed to do that, and not even get a scratch is beyond me. Thank God is all I can say, someone was surely looking out for him. But have no fear that was just the first item on his list of things to do. Just today alone, he has managed to dump a box of crackers, poor out a can of pop, spill a glass of tea, and play in a mug of water. As if that was not enough, he drew on the TV with crayon, drew on himself with markers, and even drew on me and my sister! Have no fear, he wasn't finished yet. Later he managed to eat a crayon, and followed that up by eating the tip of a marker. Yes I played the fetch it out game with him, but all that it accomplished was me getting bit. He swallowed it anyway. Thank God for non toxic markers and crayons. Oh, and by the way, the second crayon he ate must not have been his favorite color, he did end up throwing it up, and his milk he was drinking all over the carpet. And if that wasn't enough, if I recall correctly he did managed to tackle his sister, head butt me, and bite molly too. I think the only one safe from his escapades was his dad today! Talk about your little terror, geeze. I am hoping what ever spell he is under lately will soon subside and my little sweet boy will emerge again. From what I understand though, I think his early terrible two episodes might last a little while longer. I know this week we will definitely be working on the manner lesson with him! After all that though, I couldnt help but look at him tonight when he was falling asleep, and he managed to sing " I love You" from Barney as his eyes closed, and I thought awww, what a sweet little boy!

Howdy Y'all

Howdy Y'all. I have managed to crawl out of the piles of essays, algebra equations, and psych quizzes to post a Howdy to everyone. Of course it is just after 2am and I am still awake. At night is about the only time I have to finish homework. I need to really find a way to work on stuff during the day. My sleep deprivation is taking its toll. I can barely think straight anymore. I swear after all this, I better get into the nursing program, or I am going to cry for years to come. So far I have been keeping up on things. I hope I can continue to do so. I took my first proctored exam in algebra. I don't want to talk about it. I am not sure how well I did. If I got a good grade I will post about that later. If I didn't, well, I'm not going to talk about it ;). I just wanted to check in and let everyone know I am still alive and kicking. Well kicking slowing, due to the lack of energy to swing my legs, but kicking none the less :). I do know I'd like to kick who ever the hell invented algebra, but we won't go there. It is late and I am too tired to gripe. I am going to try and get some sleep. Hopefully tonight I won't dream of math or writing. I have been dreaming of it almost every night. I find that pretty unfair since I work have the night doing it, and then the other have dreaming about it. I must be being punished for something I did in a past life :). Take care all, and sleep well.

Here it is almost 3 am and I am still awake!

Okay here it is almost 3 am and I am still awake. No it is not because I have insomnia. I would actually appreciate some form of slumber, as my eyes feel like they have sand in them. I am doing homework. OMG I never expected this much work! It is unreal the things I have had to read and write, just in the first week of school. It is unreal! I even had to write for my algebra course. Believe it or not I had to write a math autobiography. I'd explain that one too you, but I am too tired. I have written around 2000 words of essays, discussion board questions, and more. At least tonight it is only 3 am. Last night I was up til 430 am. I really need some prayers! Please pray that I can keep up with all the work. I also need someone to pray for my memory. I don't know if it is because I am older, but I am finding it difficult retaining and remember all the stuff that I am suppose to. I will try and post every couple of days. If you do not see any postings for a few days, realize that I am stuck in cyberland, some where between psych, algebra, or some MLA style website, trying to learn how to format my essays for English Comp. I must bid goodnight at this point. My fingers can barely stroke the keys. I have only a few hours before Miss Abigail and Daniel will be up wanting their breakfast. I never thought I'd be changing diapers, writing essays, and doing algebra at this stage in my life. Isn't funny how life happens!

Monday is the Day

Okay, well school starts Monday, and I am excited and freaked out all at the same time. I actually gutted the whole entire house, (except my bedroom), cleaned and got rid of tons of stuff. I figured it would be easier to handle once school stared. I even made a play room for the little ones downstairs where the computer is. I thought maybe they might play while I do work online. We shall see how that works out. The last room I still have left to clean out is my room. I think everything from the house ended up there. I don't even feel like dealing with it, but hopefully I will get to it tomorrow and be done with the whole thing. I'm taking a day off today and entering sweeps :). I haven't entered in a couple of months, because of the whole dial-up issue. Now with cable I can't wait to do some. I hope I win something this month ;). A computer would be nice, but I won't hold my breath. I'm sure it will be something more like a CD or a T-shirt ;). But hey, a win is a win. I'm always happy with what ever it is I get.

Comcast Cable

The wait is finally over. I am living in modern times again. No longer are the days of slow dial up, no long distance, and free TV. As you might have gathered from some of my other post, I got into a spat with our local phone company, and dropped everything but a basic phone, and went back to dial up. I am happy to say that I never have to deal with them again. I signed up for the triple play with Comcast. So far I am thrilled. My Internet flies, much fast even than my old DSL. I have over 200 channels of TV that I probably won't watch :), (hubby & the kids will), and omg long distance. Not only can I call all of the whole USA, but Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam and Hawaii. Not that I know in Puerto Rico, Guam, or Hawaii, but hey if I wanted to, I could call for free ;). I got a really good deal. I am paying almost the same price I was paying for just DSL, and a basic phone. I couldn't believe how cheap it was. Now I can finally post some pictures! I can hardly wait. I just have to buy some more rechargeable batteries now, lol. Now I am off to surf the net at lightening speed!
