It's All Good....

You might think that "it's all good" means that I got a good grade on my test and will be continuing with Chemistry and still looking for the end result of that RN program. Sorry, readers, you would be wrong.

"It's all good" means that I got a crap grade, and there is no way to pull the overall grade to a C. I will be dropping the class and changing my plan. But it's okay. Really. I'm okay with it. I fell a little bit relieved. While I was sitting in class last night I actually had a mini panic attack that I would actually pass the test. Is that awful!?? I had pretty much come to terms with the need to drop.

Good news: Lyric got into Starlight. She's part of the female emsemble in "David, the King" which is an original musical written by the same people who wrote "Jonah, A New Testament Yarn". If you are in the Northern Illinois, Southern Wisconsin area, you should check it out. Me being in school means I can help Fisher with getting her back and forth to practices. (IE- doing all the driving! LOL)

And I still have a couple of other options for continuing school. So this doesn't mean that I'm out completely and forever. It just means that I've taken a detour. I'm going to take a few days to adjust and then focus on what I really want to do. And make a plan towards that goal.

P.S. Don't forget about the CD swap. I'd love to see all of my followers participate.

Tonight Is The Night...

We get our chem tests back. If I didn't get a good grade (ie- pass) I will be dropping the class. Not only that, I think I've decided to quit school. When Fisher and I made the decision three years ago, I didn't know it was going to be so hard or take so long or be so many hoops to jump through to get to the final result.

Lyric is going to be in high school next year, she's going to be busy. Jazz is getting busier all the time too. And there is nothing worse than "mommy, why do you have to go to school?" everytime I leave for class.

There are a couple of other certificate type things I'm interested in: phlebotomy (Lyric would die if she knew I wanted to poke people) and EKG tech. I'm going to keep my eye out for the continuing education class schedule. It should be out in August and that gives me time to figure things out.

Fisher is okay with whatever. He said as long as we have each other, nothing else matters. Yup, that's right. That's why I married him. He knows the right thing to say when I'm about at my wits end.

And I'm not saying that if I got an acceptance letter, I would turn it down, but two out of the three programs require this chem class. So, we'll see how it goes. I'd say pray for me, but really, I believe it will be as it is intended. Good things will happen.

I'll also give you the info on my new blogs. If you can find them, and leave a comment, before I actually post the link, there may be a prize involved!

Weight Update...and more

That's right my fellow readers...you saw that ticker over there ---> move from 6 to 8.6.
8.6 is the three week total. If I can keep on the 2 lbs per week pace, I'l be at my goal weight well before Milwaukee. I should have do a before an after photo, but I forgot. I do have some from Christmas but they aren't really head on shots. We'll see what happens.


First Chemistry test is tonight. I feel like I know stuff, because it all makes sense when he's talking about it, but I'm not sure I can pull it back out of my head. Wish me luck.


A few months ago I had this GREAT idea for a blog/story/love triangle thingy. I've been mulling it around in my brain the last few days, and i think I'm going to start working on it again. I have lots of short(er) stories that I'm planning to publish as a compliation. I'll let you know when I make that happen.

Chemistry...Girl Scouts and more

About five minutes ago I had a really cool title for this entry. Then the phone rang and I got distracted....can't quite remember what it was.

Anyway, went to Chem last night. I think it's going to be okay, now. I had a teeny tiny panic moment. I thought that maybe I was registered for the wrong class (there's a one semester and a two semester). So I called over to the school I'm trying to get into and got the word- I'm good.

It's girl scout cookie time (I'm sure that I mentioned this already.) Lyric is doing great, thanks to my mom. She might actually get a full NY payment out of them. I just hope that the NY trip is still a go. A lot of people that signed up initially are having to back out due to the economic crisis. If we don't get to go, Lyric will be heartbroke. But I do believe they do these trips every other year. So she can jsut put her money into savings and pull it out when it gets rescheduled.

We're getting snow and cold weather and I HATE cold weather. I'm sure in a previous life I lived someplace very warm- I don't know where, but somewhere. We'll see if the cars start the next couple of mornings when the high temps for the day will be below zero. Sounds fun, doesn't it?!? Who wants to move to the Midwest? Come on, raise your hand. LOL
