One year ago today

Today marks the one year anniversary of Michael's accident

I pray every morning that Michael makes it to work without injury. I am so thankful that he is still in our lives. He had a doctors appointment yesterday to check everything. It still looks like things are healing up pretty well. He has to go back in a year for more x-rays and see how the hip is doing. He deals with pain pretty much on a daily basis and usually does not take anything for it. I try to encourage him to take some ibuprofen on days that he has over done it and he normally listens. I just pray that he continues on the path of healing and that he never has to go through anything like that again. I can still remember the phone call that I receieved and it makes my heart break.

My tackle for the day is to finish wrapping a few items, clean my scrapbook room and work on the scarf I am making.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Oh, here is my Menu Plan Monday (just a day late)...


Monday: Crunchy Tacos (Cameron's request)
Tuesday: Cheesy Chicken and Rice with broccoli
Wednesday: Chili and cornbread
Thursday: Spaghetti with salad and garlic bread
Friday: Whatever we eat on the road

NO MORE MATH!!!

HOORAY!!!

Today was my math final. I am so glad that it is OVER!! I missed 4 on it. That gave me an 85%. I should not have looked it over when I was done as I changed two answers...I would have had a 93%! Oh well! I figured out my final grade for the class and I finished it with an overall score of 94%!!! That's a freakin' A! Can I just say that I am thrilled to death?!?!?! I haven't gotten an A for math before!!

I start school again on January 9th. I will be taking Biology this next semester. I could take more classes at once, but I am just too chicken to have too much on my plate.

I took Cameron to see Santa yesterday. Here is his picture...


He really wanted to ask Santa for a Nintendo DS lite and a Pokemon game for his gameboy. Santa was done with his gifts already, but I have a feeling he might be getting what he asked for from him. When we were in Colorado for Thanksgiving Cameron had fun playing and watching the children play with their Nintendo DS and was determined to ask Santa for one. That was the first thing out of his mouth when he sat on his lap. Too cute. Before Santa arrived we were standing in line and Cameron said, "I think I am going to be too shy" He wasn't!

Off to knit a scarf. I got the knitting bug last week and decided to give it another try. I tried last Christmas and actually succeeded so I thought I would do it again.

Menu Plan Monday!


Monday: McDonalds...YUCK! Cameron was good all week so he got to choose his reward.
Tuesday: Soup & Sandwiches. Swimming night and we get home too late.
Wednesday: Tuna Casserole
Thursday: Chili Macaroni
Friday: Pork Carnitas
Saturday: Dinner at the Desert Star

I am so excited to almost be finished with my math class! I have my final on Saturday. I will be a studying fool tomorrow. I'm going to find a friend that Cameron can go visit for a few hours too. I just had my 5th test on Saturday. I was crying Friday night because I just wasn't getting it. Well, Michael is pretty fed up with my freaking out over my tests. The reason he is tired of me freaking out is I have gotten an "A" on every single test! YEAH me!! I always come home and tell him I did really well. He told me the other day if I say anything about not understanding stuff for the final he will not listen. So, I will just say it here!

I am signed up to take Biology this next semester. I just can't take more than one class right now. I will be taking Chemistry the following semester and "might" take a Nutrition class online to get that one out of the way too. School costs soo much these days. Just this one class in January is just over $500. When I went to the University of Washington back in the early 90's I was paying $571 for 18 credits! I am scared of what it is going to cost us when Cameron is in school.

Well, off to start a scarf or clean the house. I haven't decided which one I want to do. I really should clean the house so I have most of the day tomorrow for studying and not feeling guilty that my house is a mess while I am doing it. Ok, so I guess I am going to clean the house tonight.
