Well i think the saying "If lifes' a bowl of cherries why am I living in the pits" is an apt discription on how I feel right now. I so want a job were I can be home in the evenings and on the weekends with my kids. they are so busy and I am missing watching them do thier activities and I miss watching them grow. As you can probally tell I am feeling sorry for myself. I at least get to see them, I know that some parents don't get to see thier kids.
But this is my self pity day.. On day's like this I wish I had never bought my car or gotten a credit card. Then I would be free to get a part time job for the kids extra's and be available for them.
well enough of the pity party I have to get ready for work.. OH HAPPY JOY!!! sarcasm at it's best.
god bless all

school
well i did it. I am an offical college student. I enrolled in Penn Foster College out of Scranton Pa. I am doing their on line course in medical billing and coding. it will take me 15 months and then I will be eligble to take a national test to get certified. It feels like when I did my Surg Tech degree. I am just waiting for my books to come in the mail. I have already read the first chapter via on line but I want the books so that I can make notes and do some highlighting.
The kids had a good first day at school and I think Christopher will be ok this year. He seems to like his teachers which is good for him. Courtney started her college chem class and already has a test this friday. welcome to college life little girl..lol.
My girlfriend's daughter is pre diabetic and they are going to try changing her diet for 6months to see if that will make a difference. I personally feel that 1500 cal for a 17 year old is a little low and diabetes runs in her family. so I have a feeling that she will eventually be insulin dependent.
well love to all and god bless

Well I have taken a page from my sister in law and I am going back to school via the internet. I am doing medical billing and coding. I have wanted to do this for a long time. It will be something that I can do from home and be able to take with me when we move to NC in 5-6 years.
The kids start school tomorrow and are excited and nervous. Courtney is a junior and has 2 college ace courses that if she does well in them Penn State will accept them. she is taking chemistry and computer apps. she shouldn't have any trouble with these. the biggest thing for me is that she needs a calculator that cost about 170 bucks.
Christopher is going into 8th grade and is nervous about a couple of his teachers. He heard rumors that were not good, we told him to wait and make his own opinions, he may get along with them. He has just finished bowling with his dad and then in 2 weeks will start his own league for fall bowling. I am so proud of how well he does. at his banquet he won a $50 gift certificate to the pro shop so he thinks he will put that towards getting a second bowling ball.
As a going back to school gift Bubba bought a guinea pig. her name is Crystal. I have this rule that all names in this house have to start with a "C" I just think it's cool. (I know I am strange)
but Crystal is very gentle and I think we are going to like having her around.
Bubba is doing well with his assistant coaching. I ran into his head coach and he really likes having him around. From a mom's stand point that is a great complament...
I am waiting to hear if I got my old job back at the Foot Care Center... I really enjoyed working there and would not have left had they given me full-time. It's been a year and 4 months and I was approached by them to come back. I just hope that they can meet my terms. It would be so nice to be working in my perfession again. I just hope that I am not stepping on toes coming back. so say a prayer and let's hope that things work out.
My best friend Christine's daughter is getting married and I can't make the wedding because the casino would not give me the day off, because I am low man on totem pole. and it's a race day and a holiday weekend. Oh Happy Joy(sarcasm) It really makes me mad that I am going to miss this special occasion.
I like the people I work with but I want to be around when my kids need me, and I can't do that working until 3-4 o'clock in the am. and weekends all the time. plus the stress at the casino is horrible. Last night on of the cashiers just walked out and quit. they have never replaced the banker that quit in July and everyone seems to get their vacation but me. I have had to cancel so many doctor appointment because my job schedule does not fit with my Dr's and I am out of pain pills and need more. The good thing if I get my old job back is that I will be able to be with the kids for their activities which I have been missing for the last year and half. I never realized how much more they would need me as teenagers, more so than when they were little.
Chris might be going back to the weekend night shift, which would be classic if I get a day job. for all of our years of marriage we have never worked the same shift to be off at the same time. Maybe when we retire we will get to see each other for more than an hour in passing.

band camp
well only one more day of band camp and then courtney can take a breather for the weekend. Then 1 week of vacation left and back to school and football games and soccer games. I have the crappy schedule for the next couple of weeks so I will be missing these activities and that sucks. I am going back to college to get my medical billing and coding certificate. Then I hope to get back into the medical field. I really miss it.
the kids are doing great. Bubba is down at my dad's for one last hoopla before school starts. Aunt Tam and Uncle Jim are taking him and the girls to the state park this weekend for some swimming and hiking. that should tire them all out.
Wish we all could have gone on a big vacation this year. I could have used the down time away from work and the valley, but alas it was not meant to be.
so much seems to be going on and the summer has flown by. I can't believe that we are all headed back to school. I find that I am missing my good friend Shawn, even though we talk it's just not the same as coffee on the porch and a walk around the garden. And with my job I can't even make plans with my other friends. I always seem to work when everyone else is off. I now know how my husband feels about working weekends. But if my boss doesn't screw with the schedule I think Chris and I might actually have Labor day off together and I am going to try to have a picinic.
well there is only 2 hours of work left so I better get a move on.

august
Well I broke down and I let Courtney put blue in her hair. It's ok, but I am glad we just did the tips. They had to strip her hair of her natural color and then put in the blue and her would not take all of the color so she also now has white/blonde mixed with the blue. it looks cool but it would have looked horrible all over.
My boss has changed my schedule again and now I get to work thursday thru sunday 4pm to 3am. Not liking this because now my kids are without any adult on the weekend and school will be starting soon and that is when all of their activities take place, and because of this i know can not go to Courtney's band picinic. I really hate this job more and more. I really wish I could quit....... I have an appointment at the bussiness college in elmira to check out getting my degree in medical billing and coding. I hope it is something that i can afford.
christopher hurt his hand today. he was fixing one of his bikes and his thumb got stuck in the chain, he will loose the nail eventually, he cut it right at the cuticle. I am just going to keep an eye on it and as long as it does not get infected i will let it alone.
big chris has been going down to his mom's to work on her stairway. i miss him when he is down there but he should be done soon. it's not like we do alot but i still like to have him around. I am hoping that we can take the kids somewhere for the day before school starts, but who knows. I just found out that I can not take vacation until October now. I really hate this job!!!!!!!!!!!
