School and more school.
Aside from electricity issues everything is going well.
My electric got turned off. It sucked. I had to call and badger everyone I knew.
I'm not even going to rant about the electric company right now. I just don't even have the energy for it.
BUT on a good note, I am still passing school. Currently in my algebra class I have a B and in my art history class I have an A. Not bad indeed.
I think I have a better outlook and motivation now than I used to so it is definatley helping. Being allowed to work at my own pace doesn't hurt either cause I can knuckle down and hammer on something when I feel ready. There are still due dates but I have only turned in one late assignment, and that was because I truly needed another day to understand parts of the math. I just didn't get it on the first try.
The monkies are doing OK. Christmas is coming and I have already made my "big ticket" purchases earlier. And the big ticket purchases for 3 people still only totaled around $70.00. I have learned some lessons in the last few years.
And one of them is that buying less presents, costs less money. Expecially when you are buying stuff for little kids who do not appreciate the things they already have.
I know I have said this before, cause I looked at the post, but this year is definatley in the bag. I will not spend another 6 months being angry at how much the kids don't care about the stuff that was given to them for christmas. They seem much happier just having more time that I spend with them doing things anyway.
And that's all good.
Well I will make a bigger post at some later point. Maybe this week maybe not. Depends on how my brain is working.
Love ya, have fun.
Ok your post cracked me up.
Don't worry I will not let Gunny B drag this Barbie Monkey on any lava fields. I, unlike you, still have a working brain. I just read him this comment & he wanted me to tell you not to worry he keeps his shoes in the freezer just for going on out on the lava fields. He is talking about how we will make smores out there, something about peeing and making a land bridge, how his cold shoes will cool the lava into rock and he is sitting here reading this as I type to ensure that I get it right. (and yes he is drinking hence I am doing the typing)
Miss you guys!! We should be down the 1st week in Feb.
Call when you can
Barbie Monkey & the drinking Gunny B
BTW - POST SOME PICTURES!!!!
Saying that you will post if your brain is still working infers that you have one, I have known you a long time and I for one know that is false advertisement! But anyway seriously, I am a serious Christmas giving addict. I overbuy, seriously overbuy. I do not however have the demolition problem like Ang does with her kids. Mine tend to play with their toys with very little breakage happening (the occasional true accident only). They may not take care of some things the way I would like them to, but with toys it's generally not the case. For the most part after years of extensive play with the items they grow out of them and around Christmas each year we go through the toys and clean them and give them to charity or someone of appropriate age that will love them. We just gave a ton of well-loved, much used Rescue Heroes to my cousin's son. Griffyn grew out of them and stopped playing with them, moving on to bigger
better things. I have spent 500.00 on christmas clothes and toys included on my two youngest. I still have to buy for our parents,my oldest and assorted other family members. I am an addict and I know it, luckily my husband understands. Also, most of the clothes my kids get in a year come at Christmas, except maybe shorts and flip-flops.
I am glad school is going well, I always knew you were smart, not just a smart-ass!
Love to you and yours,
Nichole
(sorry I am so long-winded, maybe if you'd call once in a while I wouldn't get hand cramps typing!hahaha LOve ya.
