Another Update

Well I just have one more test to go and then I am all done. Yay for me!! I can hardly wait. It has been so cold here for the last week. Our tempreture got as low as -45 one night. Shiver me timbers....holy moly....ect. It has finally started to warm up again so that is good. I have passed all but 1 of my tests so I guess thats ok. I knew that I wasn't going to do that well on the one I failed. But I am just glad that I am going to be finished soon.
Mander's car is a hunk a junk. It hasn't started in like a week. I went over to try and give her a boost but we think that her engine is frozen cause it wont turn over and the cord she had her car plugged into wasnt that good and didn't connect all the way. So we have it plugged into a new one and we are going to try again tomorrow.
I have to take Brandon to the pediatricain tomorrow for a check up. hopefully everything is good. last time we went we were told the dr. heard a murrmor, and he said that if it was still there the next time we came in then we were going to have to take him in for some tests to make sure that its nothing serious. He explained that only some are serious and dangerous and others are completly harmless. So if it is still there I hope that it is the harmless kind.
We put our tree up last week. It looks so good. I am so excited about Christmas. I can hardly wait.
Wes bought the Davinci Code for me. I loved it. I thought it was a great movie. I even watched it twice and that says a lot for me. I usually only watch a movie once and then put it in a movie book for a gloomy day or something like that. But it was an awesome movie. Wes even liked it too and he is very picky when it comes to movies, he doesn't mind most but to find one he actually likes its hard. The last one he liked this much was National Treasure. So it was great that we found a movie we both REALLY liked.
That's all for now. Talk to you guys soon. !!!!!

My Exam

So I nearly drove my self crazy for the last few days trying to figure out how I was going to pass my first test, and when I finally did it....wait for it..... I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya for me. The only people who read this who really know how bad I am at reading crap and then having to do a test about it are Wes and Mander, For the rest of you.......TRUST ME I really do that bad. Last year before Mander started helping me I had to do three of them and I failed 2 of them. I was going to get her help again this year to explain it to me in english...lol, but she has been so busy working she doesnt have the time for it. But I never needed her help....not yet anyway....lol.. I got 80% on it.
Now for some of you that's considered not that great of a mark, but really for me when it comes to this type of learning. If I have examples in front of me to work through then, that is a low mark for me. Because with examples I can work through and by the time I work through them I understand the concepts at hand. But when it comes to reading, my biggest problem, I think anyways, it that I have a short attention span when it comes to stuff like that. How I made it through high school and nearly 2 years of college I will never know.......lol.
But I just thought that I would let you guys know how well I did on my first exam. Thank you guys for all the advice you gave me on how to stay concentrated and all that. THANK YOU !!!!!!!! :)

A Little Bit Of Everything

Well not a whole lot is new with me. I have just been studying and keeping up with my house work. I have finally finished putting the plastic on all of my windows for the winter so i don't get any drafts this year. Last year none of us thought of it until winter was almost over. So far I can feel the difference because I have a couple windows in my livingroom that have really bad drafts but with the plastic it is 100% better.
I am still hoping to finish my course early so I can get back into work. I already have a babysitter lined up for Little man, so that's good. When my brother in-law comes up here to work for the winter my sister is going to come and stay with us and watch him so I can save a little money. I can't wait until she comes up here because then I will have some one to visit with and I won't be so lonely and little man can play with Eliza. Sure he has his friends at the babysitters becuase we have known her for a while but I will still take him there to visit and play with the other kids. He has so much fun palying with his cousins though so having Eliza here for the winter, or at least most of it, will be great for him.
My only concern with the whole situation is that Mander and my sister don't get along all that great so it should be interesting considering Mander comes over here for coffee every morning. I told them both not to start anything and I would like to think that they both respect me enough to have enough condsideration to at least be civil with one another in my house. But like I said hopefully everything will be fine.
I can't believe that Christmas is almost here!!!!! Well another month and a bit, but I can't wait. I love Christmas, but who doesn't right? Wes went up on the roof on his day off to hang up our icicle lights. They look awesome. I am waiting for some tree decorations to come in the mail, and then we are going to decorate the tree. Wes ordered some Disney Christmas decorations through Brandon's book club and they should be in within the next couple weeks. I can hardly wait!!! As soon as they come in we are going to put up our tree, and decorate the house. I think that is probaly my favorite part of any holiday, the decorating part. We got some cool decorations this year so I can hardly wait to put them up. But I think you already have that point. lol.
Other than that nothing is really happening around here. It's supposed to snow another 5-10 cm between this afternoon and tommorrow afternoon. So I guess I will have to go out and shovel my deck and drive way off again sometime between now and then so its not too bad. Hopefully its not that cold. But talk to you guys later!!
