Saturday and Sunday

Just thought, I would take a break from homework and tell about our weekend.
Yesterday Morning I woke up not feeling well at all, so I did not know if I was going to be able to make it to Curves or not. But, in the end I went with my mom and it ended up making me feel better. Later on in the afternoon, Shawn, Mary, Meghan, Mom, and I all went to Sams. Believe it or not yesterday, I sampled some steak that they had and it was yummy. Meghan and Shawn were like did she just really say this steak was good? Shawn is still teasing me about it. So maybe I do like steak, it all just depends on how it is cooked. Last night Shawn and I went to the movies with some friends. We went to go see Man Of The House. It was a good movie. It made all of us laugh.
This morning Shawn and I overslept and did not make it to our church so we went with Mary. It was nice. Then we went out to lunch with Mary and one of her friends. Afterthat Shawn and I dropped Mary back off at the house and headed to the apartment to finish cleaning and make sure we got everything. Now we are finally back home and I am glad. Shawn and I are not feeling good today. I know what my reason is, not sure of Shawn's, but it maybe his sinus' or something. Shawn and Mary are watching the Dukes of Hazzard. I think it is the first season, I am not sure. I am not really in the mood to watch tv. Well I need to finish my physics homework.

Toodles!

hmm....

So I thought that I should post a blog today since my last post was so short. I was blessed to sleep in this morning. I didn't have my special needs class today. I wish I didn't have physics today. That class is starting to get boring. I think it just depends on what kind of mood he is in. Some days it is really fun and other days it is just UGH.
Lastnight, my mom and I went to work out at Curves. I love that place. If you have one near you I would recomend joining. You are through working out and stretching in 30 minutes, you don't feel like people are watching you, and it is very reasonably priced. Mom and I are going again tonight. FUN FUN. Believe it or not it makes working out fun. :)
Mary is suppose to be back sometime tomorrow. Shawn and I can't wait to see how she reacts when she walks through the door. I hope she approves. I think she will love what we have done.
I can't wait until spring break. I will have a break from school and work. That is always nice. I am hoping that Shawn and I can go and see Jermey, Nyki, and Rylee one of those weekends. It was so much fun having Nyki and Rylee here last weekend. On Friday we took Rylee to get her ears pierced. She did awesome! Believe it or not, She is even cuter than before. She is such a good baby.
Well I don't have much else to say.
So Toodles!!!

Been Busy

This past weekend was very busy for us. Saturday we painted a celling and shampood carpets. Then on Sunday we moved in most of our stuff. It was crazy-azy. There is only little things left in the apartment. Opps I was so busy typing article critques for my online class that I did not realize the time. I have to get to physics. Post more later.

Tomorrow Is Friday :)

Good News! Good News! Tomorrow is Friday and that means I Have a three day weekend coming up! :) Also really exciting news today is that Mary found out that all of her stuff was accepted and she can move. I knew that she would, but part of me, you know the part that likes to throw the what if's in to your mind, did do that a couple of times. Okay maybe more than a couple. Anyway, I feel bad, because I wasn't able to work over there tonight. When I left school this afternoon, I was not feeling good. Most of the time I post a blog in between classes when I have 2 hours to kill. Not today, I actually went and took a nap in my car. That is really not like me. Then I came home and slept on the couch, I scared Shawn too, because I wasn't picking up the cell phone or the house phone. I was just sleeping that good. I didn't get that much sleep last night. But now after a hot bath, I can breath again and I am starting to feel like my normal self again. I also missed out on Nyki's chili tonight. I told Shawn to bring me some I wonder if he will remember? Nyki has helped us out alot and Rylee is just so darn cute! Hmm... do you think Jermey would notice if I kidnapped them and made them stay in Amarillo. LOL Just kidding! I will just be sad to see them go Saturday morning. But I won't be able to pout for long because I think we are going to start moving stuff in Saturday afternoon. I just want to give a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has helped us out. You do not know how much we appreciate it. So Thank You! Oh yea, I signed up today in class to start working with the Special Olympics over the summer. That should be fun, plus I have to get some observation hours in before I can even start a class. Well I don't have much else to say and I need to do my devo and head off to bed. Don't forget to vote on my new poll. Oh ya, one more thing, I am very proud of my lil sis in taking a stand. Well so long for now.

Valentines Day

62% of you like valentines day and 38% of you don't like valentines day. I happen to like valentines day. Mine was pretty good. Although, I did not like it being on a Monday. I can't wait until next monday when I get to sleep in. OR at least I hope I do. Shawn's first day at his new job was yesterday. He seems to like it a lot. I am glad. Hopefully my job will start going better. la de da if not I will find a new one. Shawn's sister Nyki is coming up from the Dallas area today. She is bringing Rylee. So excited. I think Rylee is one of the cutest little baby girls ever. Maybe later I can post a pic of her. Anyway, Nyki is going to help us finish cleaning Grandma's house. We have came a long way and we are almost done. I think we are going to get the bug people out there this weekend to spray. Or at least I hope we are. I don't really have a lot to talk about right now. I took an essay test this morning for my special needs class. I surprised myself and was remembering a lot of stats and other numbers. I think I did great. Shawn helped me study lastnight. He is the best at that. I think tonight I am going to go to walmart with mom to buy mini blinds so we can take down those curtains, hopefully brightn the place up some more. Well I have like15 minutes to get to physics and I need to stop and get me a bottle of water. Hope everyone's week is going well. Hopefully this week will go faster than last.

Favorite Day

I guess none of you like Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. However 14% of you like Thursday and 14 % of you like Fridays. 29% of you liked Sunday's. Saturday is the most favorite day of the week by 43%!

Do I have a right to be mad?

Okay, so today I am off work for like no particular reason and I am mad. Shawn is sick today and he has been throwing up since 9:30 lastnight and so I didn't exactly get a good night's sleep. So when the alarm went of this morning I had to drag myself out of bed and in to the shower. So I get ready for work and by this time I am in a better mood. Then I get to work around 7:45 sit at my desk and begin to work. Then the next thing, I know, my boss comes up to me and goes what are you doing here today, I have you down for a floater for today, and I said no I took a floater Monday, She said I know I have you down for both days, and I was like um.. okay? So I said well I will just use it for another time and she said once you schedule your floater days you can't change them, you can only change your vacation days and I said well I don't think I scheduled it, she said well I marked you down on the calendar. So then I said well what do you want me to do, she said well you can work today and keep floater on your time sheet, and I was like well that doesn't sound like a good deal and she said exactly that is why you should just leave. So I was like okay, so I left. I just think it is ridiculous, that I couldn't change it and I didn't even know that was a rule, so I feel like today is a wasted floater day. I think Shawn is happy because some one is home to take care of him. Not that I don't want to be home, but if I would have known that she put me down for today too, last week when I scheduled a floater for Monday, I would have not gotten up and I could have still been sleeping. So, I am mad. See Monday, when I took my floater, I had it planned because I knew that I had a big physics test coming up on Tuesday so I used the day to do laundry, take care of Meghan, and study. It worked out very well. I might just go ahead and go over to Grandma Mary's house and clean some, but I don't like being there by myself. I am afraid something will fall on top of me.
Oh ya, I think I did very well on my physics test. I have an essay test to take for my exceptional children class on Tuesday. fun! fun! Well thats all for now. Oh ya, if you play the chocolate bar game put on the comments board what level you got to, please. Thanks,

I figured since my post is mainly negativity that I should post some positive things,
1) The sun is out today
2) God loves me!
3) I have people that love me
4) I have people to love
5) 2 more days till Friday
6) Mary's house is getting closer and closer to being clean
7) I can take a nap now
8) and everything else I missed ............................................

...

I figured since it has been a few days that I should post something on my blog, I just havent quite figured out what yet. I am off work today, which is always good, but I have so many things that I have to do that part of me just wants to go crawl back in bed, but what will that accomplish? I know absolutley nothing. I have my first major physics test tomorrow. I think I will do fine, but I have been up studying for it since 8 this morning and decided I needed a break.
Shawn and I have been really busy this last week. For those of you that don't know why it is because we are cleaning up his grandma's house and lets just say it is a lot of work and leave it at that. We have accomplished alot. I just don't think that Shawn and I forsure knew what exactly we were getting ourselves in to. I think Friday night when we left there we were both ready to just say forget it. But I prayed about it for most of the day on Saturday and on Sunday. Shawn and I talked and we both feel like in a way we are being called to do this and sometimes it is just hard but you have to suck it up and do it. I think that if God didn't want us there he wouldn't give us peace about it ya know. Like I know it is a lot of work and it was starting to get very over whelming, but lastnight I went over there with Lacy and I just seen a whole knew outlook and realized that we have gotten a lot accomplished. I think it helped not going over there on Saturday. I just have a feeling that everything is going to be okay and work out. I think when you are not trusting God fullfledged then you are going to get stressed and overwhelmed but when you do trust him it may seem overwelming at times but not near as much if you are trying to handle it with out God in the picture. Sorry if it is so confusing to understand, it is just hard to put in to words.
For those of you that do not know Shawn decided to take the job with HOST. He will start with them on Feb. 14. His last day with Elliott Russell is on the 10. Well, I don't know much else to say so I think I am going to go fix something for lunch, clean up the apt, ( it has been a little neglected because of being gone everynight) , study physics a little bit more, and then head off to Grandma Mary's house.

Guess who is out today?

The SUN is brightly shining outside! At first this morning I did not want to get out of bed, but I am glad that I did. I am so excited right now because I just found out some thing really cool and awesome. In class today Dr. Thomas was telling us the format to get an A on essay questions. So he put to questions on the board and as a class we discussed them. Then we went over our homework that was a case study thing. So here is the exciting thing. While we were going over our case study and problems with daycare and special need students and how most day cares in the Amarillo and Canyon area will not take the kids and if they do they charge extra. Well anyway he said that he was on a board that is trying to get a special needs daycare in Amarillo and hopefully one in Canyon. Now anyone that knows, knows me,knows that my ultimate career dream would be to own or at least help in the process of getting a special needs daycare for children in this area. So when he said that, I was like O wow, AWESOME. I looked at the girl next to me and said that is my dream. She goes really? I was like ya... Well I guess he seen me smile when he said that because I was just kind of in shock that some one is actually going to get it started anyways he asked me to stay after class. I didn't know why, so I did. Anyway after he dismissed the class, I stuck around and he goes can I ask you something and I said yes, and so he said why did your face light up so much when I said that we were trying to get a special needs day care going in our area. I said that is my dream to do. He said I had a feeling it was because of your reaction and everyone in class just kept writing notes and paying attention. I said I am very interested in something like this happening in the Amarillo- Canyon area. He said that right now they just got approved for a non profit organization and they are looking in to buildings and stuff but with in the next year they are going to want to start look for volunteers and possibly hiring. Anyway, he said that they are looking for students like me to attend meetings and also give input. So he asked me if I would. I said yes, I would be glad too. I just think it is an awesome thing to see something that I have dreamed about for a while to actually be taken place. I know that I am not the one building it or doing it right now, but it is just an awesome feeling that parents will have a place to take their special needs children in the next couple of years. I kind of think that it is a God thing, that he said something today because I would have never known that this was happening and the opportunity to be involved is awesome to even think about. So, yes I am brightly smiling still because I have this warm feeling in my heart. I can't think of much else to say because my mind is still in wow awesome mode and that is all I can think about for now. I need to reread over my physics stuff before I go to class... So I am off to find a quiet place to read and work on physic problems.

It's Snowing, It's Snowing

Yes it is snowing. It was not snowing when I left Amarillo this morning, however on my way in to Canyon it started to snow and is still snowing. My eleven o'clock class got out early today. Dr. Thomas was not feeling to well. He sat down in a chair the whole time he was trying to lecture. I felt bad for him. Our first exam is coming up in that class. Fun Fun. Just kidding. I do have some homework to get done that he assigned us. However, I will probably do that a little bit later. My head is all stuffed up this morning. I can barely pay attention to one thing. It's like one of those days when some one is talking to you and you are looking at them but you have no idea what they just said. Ever had one of those? I just feel like driving home and curling up on the couch and snoozing for a while. However, since we did not have physics last week I think, I should attend class today. It will probably be one of those days where you have to cram 3 days of stuff in to one class period. I sure hope not though. Maybe we will only go for an hour today. A little bit of an update on Shawn. Yesterday, he pretty much got the refridgeration repairing job ( that is what I am going to call it because I do not know the actual name or what they do) if he wants it. Then when we got home lastnight and checked the mail, he had papers from the prision saying that he got the job and to report to work on the 17th or if he declines mail in the paper. So Shawn has a week or a little more to decide what he wants to do. I just think God is calling Shawn to the repair job. I guess I look at all the little things. Like Shawn isn't even looking for a job and this opportunity just came out of the blue. Besides who calls your house on a Saturday night asking if you want to work for them?? I trust that God will lead us into making the right decision. Well that is all I can think of for right now. I am going to go grab me a bite to eat and then head to physics.

Oh ya, Please post on the comment board what you think of my new picture flikr thing.
