Another update

Ok, ok, I know I haven't been real good about keeping this updated so here goes.
I don't know anything knew about my medical problems, I do have an appointment on Thursday morning and will update as soon as I know anything new. I do know that I am not going to just keep trying things to keep this organ in this old body. It is not good for anything anymore. I mean I am almost 52 years old and DO NOT plan on having any more kids, God Forbid!!! My baby will be 22 in March so no plans for another, LOL!!
Speaking of my baby, I feel so helpless. My son very rarely gets sick, I mean, like almost never. So when he does he does it up real good. I talked to him this weekend. He called to check on Mom and see how I was doing(how sweet). He sounded like crap. I asked him if he was ok. He said he just had a bad cold and that he was planning on sitting around and doing nothing. A bit more prodding and he admitted to running a fever, chills, body aches, coughing, stuffy head and tightness in his chest. Poor baby. I suggested some soup and warm liquids, perhaps some mint tea and lots and lots of fluids. James, go to the store and get some Tylenol, gatorade and some soup, NOW!! I know mom, I know, but I just feel so awful. Now the truth comes out. I hung up from talking to him and called his roommate, who by the way is feeling just about as bad as he is, so I called their RA and asked him to check on the boys and get back to me. About an hour later Chad called and let me know that the boys were sleeping and that he had made a run to the local market for them and stocked up on Tylenol, chicken soup, mint tea and gatorade for them, thanks Chad. How cool is that!
I talked to James again later that night and he and Alex had slept all day. He was feeling a bit better, the tea and gatorade gave them both renewed strength. I am happy! Yesterday when I called him he sounded stuffy but oh so much better. I hate having my kids so very far away from me. James is 10 hours north, Jamie and her hubby are 10 hours southeast, boo hoo! At least the other two are in town, even though I barely see them, hehe! That is a good thing, means they are busy with their lives.
Our oldest is doing very well. She has just been promoted and has been seeing her new beau for a few months now. I really like her new guy. He is perfect for her and she for him. I have a funny feeling that maybe in the next year there may be another Turley wedding, :) Jodi bought a new car, all by herself. I am so proud. She got herself a 2007 G6 and picks it up on Wednesday. She is excited. This will be her very first new car. She has always had to settle for junk because she couldn't afford anything else. You go, Jo!!!
Jen, my #2 is doing the best that she can with the job she has. She has had numerous interviews with the company for Asst. Manager positions and nothing has come of it. She is a Key manager right now and is at top pay so their is no where else to go. On a good note she has been going through the interview process to become a 911 dispatcher. More money, steady schedule, better benefits. I am keeping my fingers crossed for her. She has been going through this process for the past 3 month, all the testing, the interview and the psych stuff. She is not telling her boss that this is going on because she wants to keep all her options open. Jobs are scarce in Michigan and any time you have one you don't want to lose it just to pursue other avenues. There are over 100 people trying to get this dispatcher job(actually 4 openings). Her hubby is also trying to get hired in at the factory that my husband works at. He has a fairly decent job but it involves very long hours and not a lot of compensation for it. So we will keep our fingers crossed that the two of them can move on to bigger and better things.
Just made reservations at the casino up by our son. We have to pick him up from school on the 2nd of May and move him back home for the summer. I searched every hotel within a 50 mile radius and could not find one room available. I was beginning to get a bit discouraged. Well, about an hour from our son is a casino. Just a small place, but really nice and not that expensive. I called them today and got a room. One more thing off my mind for now. YEAH! So the plan will be to head out of here real early in the morning(5am) and head to Houghton(10 hours away). Stop at the casino and get our room. Head up to school and load up James and then back down to spend the night at the casino. Do a bit of gambling, have a relaxing night and then head on home. The casino is very small and I love going there. They even have penny slots. We always have a good time when we stop there. So I am happy.
Jen just called and told me they are cutting hours at work, again. In case you forgot, I work with my daughter. I did have 3 days this week, 18 hours. Now I am down to 2 days 12 hours. Oh well, just gives me more time for studying.
Speaking of which, I was not a happy camper when I received my last transcription grade. I got my worst grade ever. Granted it was a 96.45% but it is not good enough for me. I want all 98% or better. I am so hard on myself when it comes to this. Somedays I just don't think I am ever gonna get it and others I fly through the material. My GPA is still pretty good and Cheryl(my instructor) is very encouraging, she even telephoned me and went through my exam with me and gave me a pep talk. So it is onward. I guess that is all for now, I need to get to studying if I am ever going to finish this course. So my dear friends, I will TTYL! :)
