Update on mom... She is doing good today. She came out of surgery around 6 yesterday evening. She has been up and down several times today. We just talked to her a little while ago and she says she will be up and out of there in no time (ha ha- we will see).

So I did not think it was possible, but I burned chicken stock today.... twice. I was making homemade chicken noodle soup and the stock kept burning. I am blaming it on my pot. I cannot remember one single time I have used it without something burning in it. After my two failed attempts at soup, we had cheese ravioli with alfredo sauce and spinach salad and garlic bread. It was an easy last minute meal!

Classes might be a little harder than I thought they were going to be. My world civ class has lectures online that I have to listen to and take test on. The whole point of online school is to get out of the lectures... I have 5- 6 hours of lecture to listen to a week. :( Then American Lit will be the death of me this summer. We have a million things to read each week. I like literature but not 175 pages a week worth. My British lit class is super easy!! We do not have really anything to do in that class. I wish that was my American lit class. I would much rather read the passages from the British lit book than the American lit one. oh well, at least I have one break! Psychology of the Exceptional Child is interesting. My teacher had a stroke and has a speech impediment, so it is kind of difficult to understand him. He is so nice though!

Saturday I am bringing Windell and Rachael to the Tupelo zoo and buffalo park then we are going to the Antique Car Museum. It will be a fun and LONG day!

Well I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!

Prayer Request

If anyone happens to read this today. Mom is going into surgery around 11:30. It's going to be a fairly long surgery. I think 5 or 6 hours. She will then have to stay at the hospital for a week and half to two weeks to recover. Since she is having her surgery in Atlanta, it's a little too far to drive home for a few days then go back to Atlanta for her post- op check up so she will be staying with the Brocks for another week.

p.s... I made an A in geology!!!

No more Geology... EVER!

I finished Geology this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! Boy am I glad I took that during maymester! There is no way I could have sat in that class for a whole semester! I should know my grade soon! Today was also the start of my three online classes! English Lit appears to be easy and the other two do not look too terrible hard, but they are not going to be "give me" classes. I start the Psych class tomorrow. I already know how that one will be and I am not looking forward to that!

I drove to Meridian yesterday and picked up Rachael and Windell. So far, so good. Except for the fact that Windell woke up sometime before 6 this morning. Today that was not that big of a problem because I just got up and studied, but if he continues to do that I am going to be one sleepy girl! I also brought them to Walmart today so I could go grocery shopping! That was not as bad of an experience as I thought it would be.

I am copying Claire's blog by posting dinner plans for the week. I think it will help me stay on schedule.

Monday: Pizza Kit.. Not sure what exactly is in the kit though
Tuesday: Grilled Chicken with Cous Cous and salad
Wednesday: Homemade Chicken Noodle soup and Grilled cheese
Thursday: Hamburgers and potato casserole or Hot Dogs and mac n cheese
Friday: Mexican Night...
Saturday: Hamburger Helper, if we are home... Mcdonalds if we go to Tupelo.
Sunday: (lunch) Pork Loin with yellow rice and salad and breadsticks
(Dinner) leftovers or sandwiches

We will see how well I stick to that.

Well Mom will be in Atlanta for three weeks now instead of two, but I do not know why yet.

Productive Day!

I have been fairly productive today! I cleaned all of upstairs minus Spenser's room. I did go get the trash out so it would not make the hallway stinky. I cleaned my room, which took forever. I have not put clothes up in a while! Then I cleaned both bathrooms top to bottom. Erin moved out Monday but left a mess in her room, so I had to clean that too. Then I cleaned the downstairs bathroom. My eyes are still burning a little from all of the cleaning sprays. I also cleaned out the refrigerator and freezer. Now I can fit some groceries in there! After I did all of that cleaning I had a lot of trash to take out. So I did that too! Then I called it a day. I am wore out.

Dinner tonight: Baked Talapia (I think that is how you spell it) with mango salsa and yellow rice.

These Days...

So this is for Claire, since she says I have not posted in a while!

I have been WAY busy with school! I took 21 hours this past semester and it nearly killed me! I am happy to say (even though I may be bragging a little) I came out with a 4.0! I was very very very very excited! After finishing that very long semester, I came home for a little over a week and did a whole lot of nothing! It was great while it lasted and made me sad to see the week pass by so quickly! May 12th I started summer school :( I am currently in the last week of Intro to Geology, my intercession class (aka maymester). I take the final June 2nd!!! but :( I start three online classes that day - English Lit 1, American Lit 2, World Civ 1. On June 3rd, I start another class at Ms. State - Psychology of the Exceptional Child and the Special Child. I finish that class like July 2nd (or so). The online classes will not end until July 26th (or so). So basically, my summer will consist of school, school and more school! But the end is in sight! Graduation will be May 1, 2009! It is currently the most exciting thing I am looking forward tooo!!!

On Sunday, I will be meeting mom and dad in Meridian to pick Windell and Rachael up for 14 days! That's right, they will be staying with me in Starkville for 14 days while mom is in Atlanta for surgery and recovery. It shall be fun.

Really the only fun thing in my life this summer is Brooke and Chad's wedding on July 19th. I will actually be home most all of July so I can help her prepare for the big day and help her Maid of Honor prepare for some things! It will be a fun alternative to doing homework every night! I also might go to junior camp depending on what days my finals are.. we will see!

I also recently bought a new digital camera, so i have been taking pictures like crazy! I love having a camera that takes good pictures!!!

LSU won the SEC Championship in baseball yesterday!!! They beat Ole Miss!!!! - that makes it even better!! Behind LSU football, LSU baseball is my favorite sport so it was real exciting! I actually got to watch the end of the game at the church ice cream social!

Well that is enough rambling on my boring life!

Hope everyone has a great summer! :)

Geaux Tigers- hopefully we will be making it to Omaha!

I decided to take a break from writing papers on this wonderful Friday evening and upload a video of Windell! I think everyone has seen it before but it makes me laugh every time I watch it!
