Hello! Hello!

So, I haven't updated in awhile...sue me! I've been busy painting still and studying. I swear that is all I do. Yesterday was a busy day:

Clean house
Lunch with Michael
Donate blood
Get a rock chip in my window
Take car to get rock chip fixed
Pick up Cameron
Take Cameron to dentist
Grocery shop
Take Cameron to ice skating
Eat dinner
Work on cub scout stuff with Cameron
Watch TV
Fall asleep watching TV
Go to bed

I bet you want to go to bed just reading what I had to do yesterday.

I got the results of my first physiology test last Friday. I got a 92.3%. This is good considering I did tell my instructor that I was going to get an A. If only that can remain true for the following tests.

Cameron passed out of level 1 skating after just 2 rounds of it. He started level 2 yesterday, they did a lot of skating backwards which is what he really needs to work on. He also started Cub Scouts last week. He really liked it and looked forward to going again today. He will be getting his Bobcat badge at the pack meeting next week and then we can start on his Wolf badge.

I would post some pictures, but again, I am too lazy to head downstairs to get my camera.

Hello!

I am still here. I've been busy studying for a test that I finally took yesterday. I'm hoping for at least a "B" on it. I am so tired of the snow...I want it to be warm. This is what we woke up to last Sunday. The first pic is my neighbors house across the street. He was having a heck of a time with his snow plow since the snow was so tall. We only have a shovel and the work was HARD. We decided that we need to buy a snow blower so after the drive was shoveled a bit we left to find one. The only problem is that there weren't any to be found anywhere. They are already selling lawn mowers. Who's going to mow their lawns with all this snow on the ground? Come on people!We are still working on getting our house painted. It is taking much longer than I anticipated. We haven't worked on it much at all during the weeknights since we are too tired when we get home from work. I did manage to finish my craft room though since I use the computer in there I really wanted it put back together. I took down my shelves and painted behind them on Tuesday and then made a run to IKEA to see if there were any organizers I could use. I found some and think I want more. I am also thinking of selling most all of my stamps since I haven't used them at all in 2 years. I could use the money for some other things I am wanting. Here is how I have been living since we started painting. Most of you know how much I can't stand a messy house. Well, here is proof that my house does get messy. However, this is MUCH worse than it usually gets. I am planning on finishing the living room today so I can put the plastic away and get the room back together since this is what people see when they first enter my house. Last night before I took this picture of my kitchen it was MUCH MUCH worse...you couldn't see any countertop AT ALL!Cameron made principals pride in January. The teachers pick children that do exceptional work and submit it to the principal. They get a certificate and a picture with the principal. He achieved this last year with math and this year it was spelling. I really like this principal. We got to know each other pretty well last year since Cameron was having a bit of a problem before we had him tested for ADHD. I was in her office a few times and they weren't happy times.Well, I better sign off. I have to get ready to take Cameron to his ice skating lesson and then come home to paint. Who's coming over to help???
