How this past week was.

Hello everyone. Since last class my week has been rather interesting. On Friday after class, while standing at the bus stop, my son had called me from the school. He never calls me, so I know something had to be wrong. I flipped and called the school back right away. I was informed that he was feeling very ill and he wanted to "come home". Being that I was not going to be in town until after 5pm, I could not go get him and the school would not allow him to leave the premises without a parent or legal guardian. The school day was almost over, in one more hour, so I decided to just have them send him a message to give me a call before he leaves school.

No more than 5 minutes later, I got a call from my son telling me that he feels terrible and wants me to tell the school that he can go home. I explained to him that there is only one hour left in school, so to please just hang in there until the bell, and then to go straight home.  I also explained to him why the school won't release him even if I said he could go.  He did not argue, so now I knew for sure that he was not feeling well.  Isn't if funny how that happens? :) I know when my kids feel sick when they do not argue with me, they do not give me a hard time, and they end up just going with the flow.

Even though he sounded like he was dying, (seriously, he sounded that bad); I was still very worried about him the whole entire time. Being stuck in Altamonte Springs stopped me from being there for him when he needed me most, and I was very upset about that. During my ride home, I received a call from my father telling me that my son was dying. Oh No! I asked my father if he was serious, and he said that my son was crying for me and telling my dad to tell me to get home already. That is another interesting note, no matter how old our children get, they always want mommy when they feel like they are dying. True?

I am sorry this is so long, but I want to make sure to establish emotion with my story here. Okay, okay, now. I got there and immediately dropped my things and checked his temperature and his symptoms. He had a sore throat, migraine, heat flashes, chills, fever, body aches all over. You are probably thinking what I was thinking...  FLU, right???  Wrong.!. I had supper and immediately took him in to the emergency room with flu-like symptoms. They had diagnosed him with Strep... yeah... STREP. Go figure that out. The doctor took a good look at him and when he looked in the back of his throat, there were swollen red bumps and that is what had proven that he had strep and not flu. My son chose to get a big shot instead of take pills and then we went home. I was relieved that my baby boy was now going to be okay. Thank You, Jesus.

Oh, and for the rest of my week, it was busy like usual. They only other interesting news is that my first baby girl is going to a Youth Group Event with our church for the whole weekend. I am a little worried about her, but I know she is in good hands and that she will have a blast. I just felt bad when I found out from her that they are supposed to meet at the church right after school; which is before I get home, so I won't see her. I wanted to give her a big hug and tell her I love her before she left, but.... :,(  I hope that all of the youth are filled with The Spirit this weekend and come back to us refreshed and On Fire for God like never before. Okay. Again, I am sorry this is so long, but that is what I am thinking about right now. Take care, everyone, and GOD Bless.

Hello, again.

Good morning.  I hope all is well with everyone this week.  I am sitting here in class wondering if I should even bother posting right now.  I decided to go ahead and do it, since there really is nothing else to do right now.  I just don't feel like it today, because I noticed that I do not have any comments at all, on either of my first 2 posts.  I try to respond to everyone else's posts, but it seems that no one is interested in anything I have to say.  This is what makes me feel like I should not even bother.  I am sure that is understandable. 

Hmm.  Well I know for sure that my Lord and Savior is definitely keeping up with me and how I feel and think all the time.  It is hard sometimes to keep on talking when it feels like no one is really listening, well no one but my Jesus, and that is the only reason I keep on going.  I don't even know what else to write about because I don't know what I really want to share anymore.  I guess I could just talk about classes and all, but that to me seems quite a bit boring.  Oh well, here I go, anyway.

Let me think... I believe that I am doing rather well in all of my classes right now, well all except for Nutrition class.  I am a little bit behind in that class, but that is because I need to read each chapter each week and do quite a bit of paperwork on each chapter.  It is hard to get all the reading and work done while I am on the bus, which is most of my day each day.  I guess I should just do the work on the weekends, no matter what happens.  I did not think that it was going to be more difficult to be in class during the day, like it has been lately, well the Nutrition class anyway.  Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can manage my time better to get all the work done on time?  Thanks.  Have a wonderful week.

What is going on?

I just don't get it.  I checked my first post last week and I know I had comments; however, now there are no comments on my first post.  What on Earth is going on with my blog?  Does anyone know what I can do to check and see what is up with my posts and comments?  Well, I am not so sure what all to post about now, but I just wanted to say something about the issue I am having with this so far. 

Well, actually, I can write about my thoughts this morning.  I have been worried about my little girl.  I leave her in the supervision and care of her father; however, I worry about her because he does not have his own car or phone.  That makes me worry because he can't call for help if something happens to him or to our little girl.  Well, I do get a hold of him online so it is not sooo bad.  I guess I should stop worrying.  I know GOD is going to watch over both of them and keep them safe and sound.  Thank You, Jesus.

All right. I am going to end this here, because I am sure everything will be fine and I really don't know what else to write about here.  I will make sure that I figure out what to write about for next week, ahead of time.  I want to make sure that my post is more interesting.  Sorry if this post is boring at all.  Take care and GOD bless all of you.

What should I do?

The reason I say, "What to do?", is because I am not sure what to do about everything I am dealing with.  I just started to take on-campus classes again, instead of online; however, it seems that I am having trouble with it. 

I am trying to figure out how to come up with the funds I need to use the bus system to get to each class on time everyday.  Bus passes would be much more cost efficient, but I am not able to come up with enough money each month or week to buy the passes.  I am lucky just to come up with the $4.50 for each "all-day" pass.  As a matter of fact, I was lucky to even come up with the money I needed to make it to the word-processing class that I am sitting in right now.  (Thanks, Mom and Dad.)  If I come to night classes I would not have a ride to class or back home, I have tried that route.  I really do not like to ask for help from anyone, because I like to be as self-sufficient as possible.  I even tried taking courses online, but that also is an issue because of the children that are constantly running around the house; constant interruptions.

Well, now onto other things that I need to figure out...  Should I stay in school or take a break and find a job?  If I find work, I know I can save up right now while I am living with my parents'; however, then I will have to find childcare for my youngest child.  I don't want to ask my parents' for anything else, because I feel that they have already provided me and my kids with more than enough.  Another point I wonder about is if I should look for work that allows me to use my childcare expertise or my customer service expertise.  I guess I am just going to do what I feel is right, when I feel it is right. 

The ideal thing that I want to find is a job that allows me to take my child with me, like a daycare center or other childcare facility.  This way, I just have to worry about getting there everyday on time and ready to do my best.  Or, I could stay in school and try to find a part time night job.  I have faith and hope that God will absolutely provide anything I need, even just something like the childcare I need to watch my youngest child so that I will be able to find and go to work.
