Weekend!

YAY!
I made it through another week.
And it ended off with a bang!
I had my first Anatomy test, worth 10% of my grade...and I got 96%!!!
I am so proud of myself. I was able to keep up with things at home, spend time with the kids and study.
I have no free moments, but its ok.
Practicum times will be for that :)

It was a good week.

Now I have 10 projects to be working on, and studying for a midterm on tuesday.
Need to get groceries as well.

Brandon passed his flight test! And he is actually "working" at the school now on monday! He gets to pay for the babysitting to now ;)

Hope you have a good weekend. And sorry some of you have not heard from me. Days just go by too fast. And I forget to take a moment to relax !

long time!

I was away this past weekend at a champs seminar with Arianna.
It was so nice
Cant complain about a free all inclusive weekend in a ocean front hotel!
Arianna loved it. She got to see other kids like her.
She met a 16 year old boy, who she loved and who we will keep in touch with. His name is Spencer, and he has a hand like hers.
He will be like a big brother to her. He has been through all she will need to, so it will be so nice to have someone to talk to.
Brandon and James were away in Ontario. James did great thank goodness!

I am back at school and busier then ever. I have my first quiz in Anatomy, worth 10% of my grade, on friday.
then a midterm on tuesday.
It is GO GO GO.
I love it, but its hard.

We are doing head to toe assessments tomorrow. Should be fun!
I gotta run I have 2 nursing necklaces to make tonight before I study.

I WILL get pics up this weekend.

lonely

I miss my boys!
I have never really been away from James before and now he will be gone for 5 days.
I have this sad feeling in the pit of my stomach...hehe
I will really miss my baby.

I hope he has a nice time visiting with brandons family though.
I send best wishes to his mom, and wish I could be there!

Today was good otherwise.
I am relaxed a bit more.
I have to make realistic goals on what I can accomplish. I know I will do fine.
I am enjoying going to school and hanging out with some new friends. we have a great time together. we are the ones who are always laughing. I feel it is so important to use our break time to relax. and we make good use! lol

Arianna and I went and did some shopping after I picked her up from the babysitters. I got her a new outfit...well 2 actually lol.
she needed new jeans. her legs are too long for the size 3 already.
and I found her pjs at old navy for 1.97 they were the st patricks day clover ones...but who cares! they are cute anyways!
we had dinner out and got ice cream after. it was great. I look forward to our hotel weekend this weekend.
I am trying to stay on top of homework, so I can relax in the pool a bit :)

miss you brandon and james
sweet dreams
(arianna will be sleeping with me til you are back hehe)

Real School

holy crap am I in for it. after 2 days I am already overwhelmed.
what am I doing...
the domestic duties I have to keep up with are going to be the end of me.
I am going to eat, drink and sleep school.
sigh.

But this is what I want...I have to make it work.
I am sure this is just a starting of school crisis.... hehe

Anyways James has double ear infections and is one grumpy guy.
5 times I was up with him last night.
In my opinion he is not well enough to go on the airplane.
I will feel very sorry for him.
having to fly with 2 ear infections, a cough and cold.
not fun.
but, not only my decision.
we will see......

I am still getting over a sinus infection as well. sick for so long, I am just so tired of it all!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

well dinner is ready, and I need to get it on the table.
have some pics on the camera I would like to share, and will do soon.

promise!
short blogs is all I have time for now.
or else they will just be a big bitching session lol.

oh yes, topics of school are rather dry. hehe
looking forward to the next 2 days where we are doing nursing arts :)

Sick house

The kids and I are all still sick....really sick.
Bad coughs, sore throats, runny noses....its not fun.
I have sinus pain going on now too. ugh.

James has a docs. appt today. Brandon has his flight test. then if he passes the craziness of his schedule SHOULD slow down. I need some consistancy and a proper schedule!!!! grrrr

I am finished contract classes. wooo hoooo.
We did food safety yesterday. I prooved I can still compete with the young guns by getting the highest mark on the exam/class. I got 96%. yay!
the instructor shook my hand. I was impressed how well I maintained the information. I was first finished the exam too.
I hope this is a sign of times to come!!! hehe
I have tons of reading to do for next week. Most of it is not intersting lol. Its about the history of nursing and laws of nursing.

I have no school today, so I can get lots done. we will be having a sick day here. the kids are already on the couch with their pillows.
James needs to get better or there will be NO airplane ride for him next week.

Ugh

James and me are sick again.
He has croup and I have a sore throat and head cold coming on.
JUST after he gets over a fever and I had the bacterial throat infection.
I dont get it!
It has been more little sleep nights and long days.

Busy all weekend with reading for school. there is so much to do, it is going to be one busy year.

We did first aid and CPR today....condensed version. The guy was really great. A young firefighter.
I will be happy for this week to be over...then the real work can begin.
I get friday off. yay!

I will be taking James to the doctors. He has an itching problem. At first I thought it was cause his hair was too long, so we got it cut. but that didnt help.
He is always rubbing/scratching his ears. cheeks. forhead and back of the neck. I am thinking allergies.
So we will see what she says friday.

Not much really to say. All this sickness and all.
Hope things are well on your end!

TGIF!

I am tired!
but had a good day today.
Got to school and waited til 930 to find out we were supposed to have a study day. SO we got to leave.
Since the kids were at daycare and went and did some shopping then came home to clean. yay! hehe
I want to do work this weekend and have some fun instead of clean.

I went out for breakfast with a few friends from school. It was fun.

I bought a new sweatshirt for myself from American Eagle. A pair of pants and 2 shirts for Arianna and 2 pairs of pants for James, And 2 pairs of pants and a sweater for me at old navy. AND I only spent total of less then a $100.
It was great.

Brandon will be home at 6 tonight. Havent seen eachother much. And with me being sick, he wotn come near me! hehe.
I think I am over the contagious part now though.

Hope you have a great weekend! No plans here. we will see what the weekend brings :)

Just Quick

I am feeling better!
The antibiotics sure do work fast.
James has been getting sicker though lol.
last night I heard him coughing bad. And he is sneezy and stuffy today. wow it never ends.
I will be glad for this week to be over!

On a good note I passed sign language with 97%!!
I get SO nervous being tested either in front of a group or in front of the teacher. I am surprised I did so well...I thought my hands shook a lot!!

the last thing we had to do was perform a family dialog in front of the class. I said:

My name is Andrea
I am 26.
I am married.
My husbands name is Brandon. He is 31.
I have 2 children
My daughters name is Arianna, she is 3
My sons name is James he is 2
I love my children.

Just to give you an idea about what I can say lol.
Its enough to be able to communicate a bit with a deaf person.
Kinda neat :)

I am working my way through anatomy. boy is it hard. sure is a lot to know!

The kids and I went to the mall last night and had dinner. I needed to get out for a bit, and they love just running around hehe. I have a baby shower on the weekend to go to.

Well I am off to school!
Happy Thursday!

Holy....

I was so sick last night.
I had the worst flu I can remember.
I felt achy all day. but managed to make it through school. When I got home, I had a hot bath and got into bed.
I hadnt eaten all day, but somehow I still got sick!
I started throwing up for 45 mins on and off. and there was nothing in me. It was so painful as my throat was sore. I had high fever.
I was so chilly and sore, I could barely move. Finally around 10 I ate a piece of bread and had some water.
I slept horrible all night, as I was super sweaty for the fever...yet cold lol
when I woke up this morning I felt way better.
BUT my throat was worse. my glands were so swollen in my neck.
But I didnt feel pukey.
So I went to school. By the time I got home today, it was still bad. and felt different then a cold sore throat would feel.
Arianna and I went to the walk in clinic.
Turns out I have a bacterial infection. yay. my glands are so swollen, I swear I look like I have mumps lol.
Doc said my throat looked really bad. and I was to go get antibiotics asap.

So I just took one and pray I get better.
this really sucked.
I cant afford to be sick at all this next year!!!!


On other notes, school is going well. We did sign language today and will do it again tomorrow. I am suprised how easy it was to learn.
I know the whole alphabet, numbers and some small phrases so far.

Kids are both better (after they had fevers)
they stayed with kelly today, and behaved better thank goodness.
I think they are finally adjusting.
its 7 and they are fast asleep.
I have some studying to do so I better run!

Week one is done!

And I made it through.
It was an easy week, but now I have some textbooks and the real work begins.
I have 6 chapters in anatomy ahead of me. hehe
I love it though.
Kids made it through a week of daycare.
Arianna is acting out a bit. But I think she just needs to get used to it.
Brandon has been spending his days off at the airport. I am hoping (well he better) ease of once his training is done.

I had a great night last night...I will post about it next with the pictures!!
