It was worth it.....

Well, spring break is almost over and I feel like I got a lot accomplished in the past few days. My house really wasn't too messy, but the kid's rooms were disaster areas and I got them cleaned out this afternoon. I'm not done with Hannah's yet, that will take a while. Most of Carson's toys were in Braeden's room so I kinda killed two birds with one stone there. The last week of this past quarter was horrible! I have never been so sick in all my life and I didn't get much done along the lines of cleaning....I had to use what energy I could muster to study for my finals and I know I could not have been a pleasant person to be around. All of my studying paid, off though, because I got my grades today and I aced all of my finals. I don't have a clue how I did it, like I mentioned before I don't even remember what was on my dosage final...but it must have been easy! I got straight A's, made the Deans list again and maintained a 3.93 GPA. The best part is that when I started the dosage class and saw that it was all algebra...which I hate...I thought for sure I would maybe squeeze by with a C...and I kept a 115% average during the whole class. (Of course I'm bragging, I totally deserve it!) I believe God got me through the dosage class by giving me an amazing teacher. She refused to go on to the next lesson until everyone in the class completely understood what we were doing and it helped so much that she explained things so thoroughly...she was an awesome instructor!
I also had to write an Ethics paper for part of my final and I chose to do mine on Conventional Breeding vs. Genetically Modified Foods. We were to write about both sides of the debate, without letting the reader know which side we were on. I also got a perfect grade on my paper, and let me tell you it was not easy with such an incredibly boring topic!
I know it's not right to brag, but I am so proud of myself. I didn't know if I could do this whole college thing, what with being a home maker and a mother, but I do believe that I've had Jesus by my side every step of the way and He is just guiding me through!
This next quarter, which starts on Monday, I will be taking medical terminology and anatomy. I can't wait, I'm extremely excited about taking these classes and it will be much easier only taking two this time. I am confident that I will be able to keep my 3.93 GPA! Pray for me!

I hate to complain, but......

This week is my kid's spring break, and it also just so happens to be my week off of school between quarters....which I thought was going to be a perfect time for the kids and I to spend some time together. We discovered in early February that Carson would be spending his entire spring break with his mom this year, so I've known for a little while that none of my time would be spent with him and I have been pretty bummed about that. I decided that I would use the time to spend with my two kids and we would spend time at the park, weather permitting, and walking on the trails in town because they have been begging to go over there almost every day. Well, Monday and Tuesday it rained all day long so the park was completely out of the question.
I feel like spring break has been so boring for them! It would have been much better if Monday and Tuesday hadn't been rainy. Monday it actually downpoured! Hannah was sick last week for almost the entire week so she spent a lot of the first few days of spring break doing her homework. Now it's Wednesday and they are gone and I'm totally bummed. I hate it when my kids are gone, and they are going to be gone until Sunday!
I know, I'm just being whiney. I can't help it, I want my babies here!
So tomorrow I am going to get up and start cleaning my house from top to bottom to keep myself occupied. I don't have much to do, so it should keep me busy for a little while. After that....who knows what I'll do. I think I'm going to have to make a trip to the library....any suggestions on some good books?
