Just A Thought

I was sitting outside of SCC's library and watching the comings and goings of everyone. I have come to the conclusion it is not wonder our country is in trouble. Probably 75% of those standing around were on their phones either talking, texting or whatever, 10% were just sitting around talking some were even laying around on the couches(those in this category used a very colorful language, if you get my meaning), 10% were probably actually doing something productive like reading, working on homework, it was lunch time so some were eating and well the other 5% are the ones I would like to address. They are the ones who cannot even put on their clothes to come out in public (they were wearing their PJ's) or their pants were down below their behinds so I got a view of their undies. My I add I am not interested in viewing anyone's undies! A very small majority of our younger society just does not care. They think the world owes them. Like my title it was just a thought! What do you think?

Study Time

It is Friday which means no classes but it does mean study time for me. I am really enjoying classes although Medical Terminology does worry me some. I will let you know how I really feel about school after my first test, which I believe is next week. Raun is at work and Kara and Makayla are gone for the weekend so I have the house to myself, so I have to really focus and get some work done. I got permission from my girls to post pictures of the grandkids and so today you will get the first view of our Makayla. She likes to chew on anything she can get her hands on as you can see from the picture. My hope is to get pictures of Summer and Ty on here this weekend. Have a great weekend!

My Free Day

My free day, if you want to call it that. Well, I got through my first week of classes! My English class is about to do me in! Not because of the work but because of some of the students who seem to have a knack at getting our teacher off course. That drives me crazy! I have quite a bit of homework to get done over the weekend so I guess you really can't call today my free day. It will probably take me all weekend to get it done. The family is all well. Summer is enjoying kindergarten and is just so animated when she talks about it. Ty is our little man and he seems a bit lost without sis. Makayla has started to crawl and is just so cute you could eat her up. I promise to get pictures on this site, please be patient.

Day 3 Of Classes

Well I had my third day. I have one more day of classes. I am wiped out! I have been going to bed at 8:30. I love the classes and what I am learning but learning to juggle home stuff and school is going to be quite the test. Raun is being such a support and big help. I don't know what I would do without him! Hopefully I can be a little more chatty later this week and update on my goings on better.

First Day of Classes

Be glad! I am off my tirade and onto school matters. First day of classes and boy am I tired. Homework, didn't get done, and just feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm going to love it but can't wait to get into a rhythm. I'm getting great support from Raun, my husband. They helps and great encouragement from a nephew, Brad. Thanks Brad! By the way congrats on getting your black belt. Will keep you all up to date and hope to get pictures added to this blog. I'm updating this on the second day of classes so my granddaughter Summer is starting her first day of kindergarten. She is so excited. I get to hear all about her day tonight. Have a great day!

My Thoughts!

It has been a good day. I got to have lunch with 3 of my favorite people and I am genuinely blessed to be able to call them my friends. One was my husband. We ate at one of my favorite Mexican restaurants, I think I am addicted. We got to talking about my blog and the avenue it provided me to be able to speak out as a Christian. One of the things that really ticks me off is people trying to tell me, as a Christian, I must keep my opinions to myself and yet they feel they have the right to do and say anything they want. That thinking is screwed up. It is my right at a American to be able to NOT to support same sex relationships , marriages, abortion, etc. I have the right to stand up for these beliefs and speak against the things I do not believe in and if someone does not like it, that is tough. I am tired of the free thinking liberals trying to take away my freedoms so they can flaunt theirs in front of me. You may not like my religion and thats fine, I am not trying to force it on anyone and I expect the same from them, do not force free thinking ideas on me. Well, let me move on. 2 days until school starts and the butterflies in my stomach must be jet propelled. My husband and I are going to a christian marriage seminar tonight and tomorrow. Everybody needs to work on their marriage and if you think you don't need to work on your's you are terribly wrong.

Keyboarding Test

Well, I had my first test of many of to come and I was a nervous wreck. School has not even started yet. I hate to think what I will be like at my first exam. I had a keyboarding test so that I could exempt out of what I like to call "the beginners keyboarding" class. The first thing I did this morning was to pray. It has been several of years since I took a keyboarding test, in fact the last one I took was called a typing test. Yes, that's right, the typewriter I learned on is now considered a antique. Can you believe that? My speed at graduation was 100 wpm. Well it is now just a few years later, ha ha, and my speed has come down a bit. 58 wpm with 0 errors. I guess I might be a bit slower but haven't lost my touch, thank you God. The first day of school is fast approaching and I have all my school supplies, books, pencils, hi lighters, etc and I think I'm ready. If you want a laugh, my book bag has wheels. As for this blog site. I hope to get pictures added soon!

I Can't Believe I'm Blogging

My niece blogs and I decided to try and being the supportive person she is, she encouraged it. I am not computer stupid but when it comes to blogging, twitter etc I am totally in the dark. I am starting a new stage in my life this coming Monday, August 17th and I thought it would be interesting to do a somewhat daily diary of my experiences of going back to school as a older adult, not that I am ancient. I am 46 and will be returning to school full time. My husband has his own business, my children are grown and with children of their own and I wanted to do something different so school is what I have chosen. I am scared, excited, nervous and pretty much any other emotion you could label it and hopefully homework will not keep me from updating my blog on a regular basis. So world of cyberspace here I come and please be gentle with me.
