My old-fashioned kids...

The school did these... Love them!! I'll preface this with they had no clothes for Thomas... He's 5'8" and 190 lbs. I didn't realize this in advance of course, but he'd picked out a shirt that worked and wore his jeans. Great foresight!! Oh, and I wish Byron's eyes weren't bugging out in the last shot.

And the finals grades are...

Music A
Math 1050 A
Humanities A
Parenting A
Physics A- (doh!)

Whatcha gonna do? Makes my overall GPA 3.95. Not too bad for a working mom of 4 doing school full time. I'm looking forward to the next semester. Each one gets me closer and closer to my goal of teaching.

We got back last night at 9pm from our 1300 mile Harley trip. I'm a bit beaten up and sunburnt, but it was awesome. I'll post pics of the 3 day affair later, I'm still really tired.

And the grades come rolling in...

It's been a crazy semester, that's for sure. Starting a new job was an unexpected turn. Grades are starting to roll in:

Music A
Math 1050 A
Humanities A
Parenting (should be an A)
Physics (should be an A)

Next Semester is pretty full too. On the schedule:

First Aide
Math 1060
Family Finance
Stats 1040
English Literature

I'm still working full time too. This should be my last tough semester, the rest will be 3 classes each. Not too bad. I'm hoping to enter the eled program next summer. I should have my minor completed and be ready to submerge myself into the practicums.

So, for the end of the semester Chad and I are getting on the Harley and going down to Southern Utah for some sight seeing. It should be a lot of fun. I'll post pictures when we get back.

Finals week... Egads has this semester been killer.

ELED Music - A (this one is set in stone!)
Pre-calculus - A (considering she's dropping my lowest test score of 97%) Final is tonight!
Parenting - (most likely) A ... My final is today!
Humanities - A (This class rocked!! Read the Glass Castle)
Physics - (most likely) A .. my rocket soared!!! I have the final on Saturday.

I haven't had a lot of spare time. Next weekend C and I are going on a road trip to Southern Utah. Me, him, the harley and three days in the canyons. We really need the time away.

The kids had antique pictures taken. I can't wait to post pictures. They are so cute! I'll get the CD next week.

I hope everyone stays well...

Helpless

I hate feeling helpless.

Nothing matters more to me than my children. Julia had her tonsils out this morning and it's not going very good. She can't keep down anything. Not water, not Popsicles, not even her pain meds. We're trying to get her some anti-nausea meds to see if that will help. She's in so much pain. It's breaks my heart. I just wanna take all her pain away.

On a better note, we did get our trees planted. They look great. Now for the bushes and to get grass growing.
