A Sign...

...that you and your husband are getting old.

We are taking a drive tonight with the moon roof open...Michael Buble in the CD player...going nowhere in particular...just the two of us...

Dan: "I love this music. I could SO fall asleep to this music."

Teresa: "Ummm...I don't think this music was intended to sleep to..."

Dan: (Chuckle) "I think you're right. You wanna ice cream cone?"

Teresa: "Sure!"

Please pray for Dan

He is having a hard time right now without his mom.

She loved fall, and she loved decorating the house...lighting the fire and making chili at even the hint of cold weather. With the weather changes and cooler temps lately, it's stirred up all of those memories. They are good memories, of course, but painful for him right now. It seems his feelings are just under the surface, so he is pretty sensitive right now.

I think he handles things well, for the most part, he just feels very alone. He's doing his best, but if you would pray for him, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well, I did it.

I dropped my chemistry class.

I did it with mixed feelings, though, but I do feel good about it. My homework grades were good, all A's except for an 86 and a 69. My lab grades were so-so, but I failed both of the first two exams.

I am not he-woman, I cannot roar, so I don't know what made me think I could take biology and chemistry at the same time and pull off passing grades, much less minimum of B's, in both. I will, however, continue to go to the lectures, so that it isn't so overwhelming when I retake it next semester.

Now I can concentrate on biology.

A bad habit...

Mondays are hard.

Not because it's the dreaded Monday, but because of my schedule. (Humor me, if you will...I know many of you have much more hectic schedules than I.)

I still work for Kirkland's part time, but with the times of my classes, I can only work evenings or helping unload the freight truck...at 6:00 AM on Mondays. So, I work from 6-10 Monday morning, then go to my weight lifting class from 11-12, shower and change for my 1:00 class, then I have a break from 2-4. My last class ends at 5:20.

Well, my 1:00 class is Biology...mucho importante for me to take in all information given, since I'm not really geared toward science. I really like our professor. She breaks things down really well and posts all of her lectures online so we can print out the slides, as she teaches by power point.

All well and good....except for the fact that for the last couple of weeks, I've had the hardest time staying awake! This is not good!!!

During my break, I usually spend that time catching up on homework or reading assignments or what have you. As you can see from the blog I'm writing now, I'm not doing that...BECAUSE I CAN'T KEEP MY FREAKING EYES OPEN!!!

I've got to get to bed earlier on Sunday nights, I guess, because I cannot keep this up. As much as need to keep my blog updated, I don't need to do it during my study time because it keeps my mind active so it won't be lulled to sleep by stupid, boring biology or chemistry!

UGH!
