It's sunday already?!
Life at Casa Chaos has been, well, chaotic. After surviving having had the flu 2 weeks ago and missing a week of work and a week of classes/lab at school I spent last week doing the "mad catch up".
Kidlings M and L have managed to pull up their grades and are passing everything this 6 weeks despite them having been out various days from school as well (Ok, M had the flu L had a migrain). Telling them they have to get their grades up and back on track at least keeps me honest in my school work too. How can I tell them to do something if I am not doing it too? Thankfully all my professors were sympathetic to my having the flu (despite my having gotten a flu shot in Oct) that they allowed me extra time to get assignments in and to take make-up exams (they all have a policy of if you miss an exam you cannot make it up until the end of the semester then you can take a comprehensive exam) similar to what the rest of the classes had taken. I cant complain, I squeeked 2 "A"s (90% and 92%) and a solid "B" (88%) out of my exams. I'll take 'em! LOL
As weird as it seems and as frustrating as my schedule is right now I am really starting to get back into the schoolastic thing. Even though it has added a huge burden to my already chaotic life I seem to find "comfort" (for lack of a better word) to studying again. Unlike studying for a certification like my CEN or my TNCC where I felt huge pressure being back in an academic environment is almost comforting. I cant say why, it just is. Go figure. Maybe part of it is with each quiz or exam I take it feels I am one step closer to my goal of my sitting for my advanced nurse practioner exam.
We were supposed to have gone to ConDFW this weekend but due to finances and our having to leave for Lufkin for my paternal biological grandmother's memorial service next weekend we couldnt make the convention this year. Since Kidling L had already taken off work for the weekend (she works part time at the local Kentucky Fried Chicken) and we had made arrangements for the Kidlings to spend the weekend w/ my ex (for those new to my journal yes, I am still friends w/ my ex) hubby and I decided to just kick back and enjoy a quiet weekend at home. Something we havent had in a very long time.
Since Kidling L and Kidling M will be home later this afternoon I think I am going to sign off and go attack hubby again. Hope everyone is having a fantasic weekend!
