Huge Goings Ons!!!

Wow, I know it’s been forever since I did a personal entry, but here I am, at 4:15a, writing this entry in between getting some computer work done. Work that should have been done days ago, but I’ve been swamped these last few days, apparently too swamped, but I’ll get to that later on, if I remember.

Not working has been Heaven on earth!! I worry about the money running out, but with God’s help, we’ll make it through okay. I’m going to do some checking on financial aid for my schooling. Not the kind that goes to the school, but the kind that you, yourself get…that would pretty well insure that I would not have to go back to work until I get done with my college courses!! Keep your fingers crossed and prayers sent Heavenward for me please!!

I am doing well, although behind where I wanted to be at this time of the month, but such is life, and I haven’t exactly been sitting around doing nothing….*LOL* I have about 10 more chapters in my medical terminology, if I’ve got it figured right. After that comes the transcriptioning course, which is the one I’m concerned about. But than, I worry overly much about most things, so all should be well!!!

This past weekend the girls and I were ready for a visit from our dear friends, the Dixon’s….but alas, it didn’t happen. Sickness struck their family, so they thought it best to head home, without the visit up this way. I was saddened, but I understand also. No one wants to travel with sick kids. I keep telling myself there will be another time, and yet, I’m kind of just stuck with the disappointment right now!!! Dixon’s don’t think for a moment that I am upset with you!!! Just sad that you couldn’t make it is all!!!! In any case, I know at some point they will travel my way again, or with any luck, and some help from God, the girls and I can travel up that way someday soon!!

The girls start swimming lessons tomorrow, well, I guess I should say later today…*LOL*…They are excited!! The classes are for two weeks, which makes me wonder how much they will learn, how well they will be able to swim at the end of these lessons. I guess it doesn’t really matter though, because anything they learn will be better than what I can teach them. I never had lessons either, and what little I can swim, I taught myself…I’m actually kind of hoping that by watching what the girls learn, I can become a better swimmer.

I guess the biggest thing that happened around here, since my last personal entry, is the fact that the girls and I have talked and seen their biological Father, and his family. I have to say that I have been very leary about this meeting, as he wasn’t a good father in the beginning, but then it has been almost 7 years since I had seen or talked to any of them. We are taking it one step at a time, with me being well aware of the risks involved!! You can read more about it over at my Overlooked Orchids Blog. Pray that this continues to go well for all of us!!

Well, I guess I’ve rambled enough for tonight/this morning. *hugs* to all my friends!!

Golf Shoes

I’m not much of a sports buff at all, anyone who knows me even a little will know that. However there are certain sports that just illude my understanding, like golf. Tell me, what is the point of dressing up in dorky looking clothing, and wearing funny golf shoes, and batting a ball around a big pasture that has holes in it?? I don’t understand the scoring involved with golf either…It just makes no sense to me at all!!

Laptop Rentals

It wasn’t so many years ago that having a home computer was unheard of, much like having a cell phone was a rarity. Now, it seems as if you are odd if you don’t have a cell phone and a laptop. And those that do not have their own laptop, often make use of laptop rentals. I can see why though. I mean after all, who doesn’t like the convienence of being able to do their work anywhere?? I know I sure enjoy my laptop!!

Franchise

The paperwork involved with owning, and running a franchise was unbelievable! Made more unbelievable by the fact that she did it as a single mother, but such was life. This was her way of making a living for her babies, and she would stop at nothing to see that they had a good life!! Time with her children suffered at times, but they understood that sometimes she had no choice but to go in and work…and she did her best with the time that she did have with her children.
