Exams are......

So I think I did pretty good today..... took my finance and taxation exams. My marketing exam is later in the week, but I can do it at home so yay for that.... I am just catching up on my television shows for the past few days, and reflecting on how things are going. I got my marketing assignment back today, I got an 88%- not bad for not having any idea what the hell I was talking about. HA! Now I need to see what else needs to be done. I have another assignment due tomorrow what a waste of my time, geesh.... but oh well, I will get it done, at least I have tomorrow off, and it seems like it will be a nice little snow day! I need nice weather, I hate this damn snow. It bites. I need to go to sleep. I am so zoned....

It was a good day other wise. Hopefully I can get my grades back soon, so I stop fretting about it. And now, I need to go get something sweet to eat before bed :) Have a great day all!

Carter is being a tool LOL, but at least he has started sleeping through the night again..... finally got a day off, I have next Sat. off too, which is really weird.... but then, when I ask for a Sat. off, they will bitch because I always get Sat. off. I can't help that I request 1 and you give me 3 more.... jerks.... although I did get a compliment at work the other day, the first time in a long time. I have been put in charge of marketing our dry cleaner in the store, we do abotu 1/5 the business of all the others in the area. So, I made some radio announcements on our PA system.... I was told by the homeside manager that I did a wonderful job and that he thinks I should do all of our announcements. And then, he went to my boss and actually asked if he could write down any announcements he has and give them to me to read. He said I didn't stumble and sounded so professional; I was like, seriously? On top of that, after I write some announcements, the dry cleaner brings in some that they would like read. The managers read them and told me to throw them away because mine were better:) yay! score for Erin. But, I am still pulling for that job at the College. I really need to not have a commute.... I'm getting worse and worse at making it on time, because I put off leaving for so long! LOL....

On a different note, school is going very well. So far, have turned in all assignments, and gotten prefect scores on everything. Although, I haven't gotten my score for my marketing case study yet, I doubt I got 100% on that, it was bitchy LOL.... but everything else is going excellently. In fact, I should be studying for my exams right now, while I have some quiet time. I think I will make Adam watch Carter when he gets home so I can study some more.... I need to go clip coupons and slice some peaches and pears for the little man. My daddy was supposed to come over this weekend but he bailed on me, I'm very upset by that, but oh well c'est la vie! Have a great day all!

Things.....

Well, I'm waiting for Carter to cut teeth through--- it may actually be worse than watching grass grow..... silly boy, I'm tired, he needs sleep, I need sleep, and all that will only come once teeth come in! Geesh...... I've been trying to keep up on school... I am bound and determined to go back strong.... the first half of my college career has not been too strong, grades wise.... but I want the second half to be perfect, and I think a 4.0 my first quarter back would be the best way to start off.... Federal Taxation is kick ass, in fact may just be my fav. class ever; but I'm weird like that LOL..... finance is okay, and marketing is only 3 exams so I just need to catch up on some reading for that.... In fact I should probably go to bed now, but I am waiting for SVU, I NEED SVU LOL.... I may watch it in bed... I have a feeling that I am going to be writing the sked tomorrow, my boss called and told me she really screwed up her ankle and was going to urgent care.... she called off today (I wonder if they gave her hell like they gave me for my snow day), and wasn't sure how she'd feel tomorrow, but it has to be done tomorrow, so we'll see..... I signed up to take a cake decorating class at the Career Center, I am so excited..... I pride myself in doing things around here from scratch from Carter, since I can't give him all my time..... I think his b-day cake will be baby einstein! okay, well that is my update.....

School, Work, and Teething.....

Well, Carter is finally sleeping... the child has been a pill the past few days! I think he is teething hardcore and about to pop those teeth through.... he has red cheeks, hasn't been sleeping or eating well, but he's not acting sick..... poor baby.... I spoke too soon, he is upstairs crying again, he will not sleep lately, ugh, I am going nuts! those teeth need to come through NOW! LOL.... I really want a Double Stack from Wendy's, don't know where that craving came from.....

So I'm already through my first week's school assignments for one of my classses.... the other only has like 3 assignments the entire quarter (plus 3 exams), and the other has assignments, but I will hit them up tomorrow I think.... I have to do well this quarter- this is all I want, is to do well and finish my degree..... if I can do that, I will feel like I better person, a better mommy.... now I just have to convince Adam to let us start trying again at the end of the year! I am so ready, now if only he was.... oh well, tis the life of being married.....

Hope everyone else has a great week.... I have to go back to work tomorrow..... sigh.....

Happy New Year!

So I am determined to accomplish quite a few things this year! I am excited for the things to come this year- and can't wait to move into some more exciting parts of my life! Here are not necessarily resolutions, but some things that I would like to accomplish in 2009:
1) Get mostly A's and B's in my classes at school..... and to get half-way through what is left of my classes (on track to finish school Summer/Fall of 2010)
2) Save up enough money to buy a new-ish car for Adam, and begin saving again for a new-ish car for me.....
3) Take at least one vacation (Las Vegas) and maybe a 2nd big family vacation (FL)
4) Organize the basement
5) Remodel the main bathroom, master bath, new windows, re-roof and re-side the house.... or at least begin some of this, money allowing
6) New, more efficient appliances.....
7) Perhaps be in a place where we can start trying for #2? Perhaps, money and school time line permitting..... (Adam will have a heart attack if I so much as suggest it)
8) Calm down a bit, enjoy the world around me, not take things so personally..... try to chill.....
9) Get a promotion to a CSC or get an ACSC job closer to the Vern.....

I think that is it.... I basically just want to enjoy my child and enjoy my life.... I hope the new year brings great things to everyone! And allows everyone to turn themselves a new leaf!
