Hey all!
I'm still here!
So, time to catch up on my life. First off, the biggest news of all! I'm going to be a grandmother! My son, Chris, is going to be a daddy! The baby is due in February. I'm excited at the prospect of getting the child hyped up on sugar and giving him/her back to Chris.
Update on the mortgage uproar. Last October, our account was sold to another lender. We finally got the paperwork to fill out for a loan modification (this is the fourth time we've done this). And two weeks ago, or was it last week, we got a letter saying our account was sold - AGAIN! Upside, we've decided that this is it. Mini-Me is in her last week of her junior year in high school. This whole deal with the last lender lasted nearly a year, if we can get another year out of it, we'll just leave once Mini-Me graduates, or sooner if we can find a place.
Yes, our credit will be crap, but it's crap now. We'll survive and we can build it back up.
Hubby got a permanent job that pays nearly what he was making before and with great benefits! We're so thankful.
I'm currently working on my finals for the advanced course. I'm not sure if I'll score well enough to do the externship, but I'll do my best. The reason why I say that is because this school's grading sucks. It's common to get things marked off on a second submit that wasn't marked off before. They're excuse is, "Grading is hard and mistakes are made." On one of my benchmarks, they told me the doctor did not dictate a medical condition. I fought it. And won. They're excuse was the grader I had didn't have an updated Key. I also did not get an apology. What a bunch of bull. While the school is AHDI approved, it's a lousy school. At this point, I just want to finish and be done with it. The upside, I may have a job doing medical billing, which I can do from home. :)
Mini-Me is volunteering at an animal hospital. They did surgery on a cat that had a kidney tumor. They're going to give Mini-Me the tumor in a jar so she can take it to school when it starts up in August.
Speaking of cats. A female cat that lives behind us had kittens by our sliding glass doors. We took the new family in because we don't trust the people behind us to care for them. Belle had four kittens, one didn't make it, though. The surviving kittens are all males. So, we did what any geeky family would do: We named them Dean, Sam, and Cas. We are currently looking for good homes for them.
Meet Cas!
Cas in our Christmas Tree, that is still up.
Meet Dean! Dean just saw the Season 9 finale, that's why he looks like 'WTH?'
Meet Sam! Sam literately is a furball.
