Been a LONG time

I can't believe it has been over two weeks since I last posted. That also means that I haven't started running again either. I really need to get out there, but I really want it to cool off soon.

Let's see what has been up. I have been finishing up summer semester. Finally finished on Monday, Aug. 6th. I just got my grades yesterday. I got an A in Nutrition and an A- in Microbiology. I was so happy to get some sort of A in that darn class. It was a pretty hard class. However, it brought my GPA down to a 3.925 from a 4.0. I start Fall semester on the 22nd. I will be taking Chemistry, Anatomy and Strength Training. I don't need a PE credit, but I figured $100 to add another class was cheaper than getting a personal trainer at the gym.

Cameron started school on July 25th. He is in second grade and so far he likes it. I never did get a picture of him with his teacher this year like I have the past two years. As a matter of fact, I haven't even personally met her.

In the early morning hours on August 4th some people went around our town and flipped cars over. I saw a cop outside across the street and wondered what he was doing there. Then I looked out the window around one of our front porch pillars and saw the car of my neighbors son upside down on its roof. I saw online that 14 cars were flipped over or vandalized that morning. Most of the cars ended up on their sides. I snapped some pictures of the tow truck flipping it back over.
The day Cameron had been waiting for finally arrived on August 7th. He got his headgear. He was so happy when I picked him up from school to take him. However, once the doctor started fitting the bands on his teeth he wasn't quite as happy. One of his separator had fallen out some time before so his teeth had closed back up. Once they got it on it wasn't that big of a deal. He wanted to wear the headgear out of the office and even wear it to school. I talked him out of wearing it to school...thank goodness. That night he only had to wear it for 2 hours to start getting used to it. Tonight he is up to 14 hours. That is the minimum time he is supposed to wear it. He wore it to bed last night and didn't complain about not sleeping so I think this will be doable.
It has been nice having a few days off without worrying about studying. I actually have read one book and am almost done with another one since Monday. I miss reading! I will have to start reading text books soon enough so I want to catch up on my everyday reading. I am also catching up on some TV shows that I have TIVO'd.

Tomorrow Michael is heading down to Payson to be an inspector for the demolition derby. I think he will be gone most of the day. I have BIG plans for tomorrow too. I plan on cleaning the house REALLY good and watching some movies. Doesn't that sound like fun to you? If the cleaning sounds like so much fun that you don't want to miss out I would love some company. I will even supply the cleaning supplies!

Holy cow! I didn't hear about all the cars being vandalized! There certainly are some people out there with absolutely NOTHING to do huh?

Holy cow! I vaguely remember hearing something about the cars (but maybe it wasn't this - I really don't pay that much attention to the news. Ted watches it while I read!! LOL) Wow! So weird to see that!! Congrats on your grades, even if your GPA did go down! :p LOL Cameron looks cute in his headgear!! Hopefully it pays off soon and he has beautiful, straight teeth! Sorry I missed out on the cleaning. Darn it all, that day I was in Montana on my way to Coeur D'Alene!! I would WAY rather have been cleaning with you - ROFL!! I have to agree with Celeste. hee hee
