Slipping

I am so sorry, I have been letting my blog slip right by me. There really isn't anything new or exciting going on right now, except that my son will be home tonight from college. He will be here until the Saturday after Thanksgiving. That is pretty cool and I look forward to seeing him, :).
Well, I finally finished the Blood section and am moseying on over to the cardiovascular section. This is truly fascinating.
I think instead of studying right now, I feel like making cookies. Hmmmm, maybe some oatmeal scotchies, yea that sounds real good, so I am off. TTYL

I'm back

Well, things are starting to get back to "normal". The kids have gone home, hubby and I are back to work, although he has the next 4 days off. Today is hubby's 52nd birthday. Nothing special, I made him a sundried tomato, mushroom risotto and a nice juicy sirloin and some crecent rolls for dinner and put a candle in a vanilla oreo(his fav cookie) for his dessert. He loved it. He is now upstairs watching his hockey game and relaxing in his recliner.
I have spent the entire day studying and trying to catch up on my school work. I did most of the Blood chapter today. I did 3 exercises. This blood section is really difficult, there is sooooo very much info to absorb. I will most likely take the exam for this section on Saturday. I started the BOS workbook chapter 15 tonight and will continue with that until Saturday, then the exam and just a few transcriptions. I should be right back on track by Monday.
I found out that I have to work a 10 hour day on the day after Thanksgiving. We have to be at work by 4:30am and will be working until 3pm. That is such a long, long day on my feet. I am really not looking forward to this. I truly hope I do not have to work for a couple days after that, I know I will be sore and will need a couple extra days to recuperate.
Well, it is almost 10pm and I have to work in the am so until tomorrow TTYL

Short Time

Well, time is getting short, Jamie and Alex will be returning to Alexandria on Monday morning. We will get to see them tomorrow, probably for dinner and then it is back to normal. I love having them here. Alex has really opened up and we have had some really good talks, he is such a great young man and he loves my daughter with all of his heart. I am extremely pleased to have him in out family.
I really haven't gotten too much done in the way of school work, but will get back at it with gusto as soon as the kids are gone.
Today I spent the day with my oldest, Jodi, at a crafts fair. She does scrapbooking and sells Mary Kay cosmetics. She had a booth to try and drum up some more clients for her MK sales. She does such a good job with this, I am so proud of her. She was telling me all about her new beau. She is extremely happy. It sounds as though she may have met her soulmate. They have alot in common. He is actually a few months older than her and never married, nor does he have any children. He will be 30 in January and Jo will be 30 in May. She usually dates guys alot older, but I am very happy she is seeing Joel. We have not met him yet but hope to soon. I truly hope she has found "the" guy for her. She so wants to get married and have a family, like her younger sisters.
I came home from the craft fair and took a short nap, made a soup and sandwich dinner, by then it was time for hubby to leave and go to his band practice. His brother is joining him with this. His brother has an awesome voice, so it should work out just great.
Well, think I will study a bit and then off to an early bed. I am a bit tired tonight, so TTYL!
