Back to school (for me)
Soooo, I’m back in school this week after being out for a year. I got my grant stuff all straightened out and I’m so ready to finish up these last few classes and graduate. I’m not sure what kind of job I will get but I’m hoping to do transcription at home. But if I have to, I will get a job working in a hospital/doctor’s office until I can find one working from home. Either way, I am sure I will enjoy the work. I’m taking Medical Office Concepts and Public Speaking this semester. I think I will enjoy the MOC but the Speech class, not so much. I am taking it online so it is a little less stressful than actually going to class on campus. I have to tape my speech with an audience of at least 4 people (and yes, it can be family). Even though my audience will be family,I am still nervous about speaking in front of them. I mean having a conversation is one thing, but getting up and talking about some boring topic they have no interest in is another. Thankfully, I only have to give 2 oral speeches. I know some people act like public speaking is no big deal, but it is to me. I have stage fright and am really shy when it comes to getting up and speaking to a group of people. But I’m just going to do my best and hope for a ‘B’ lol.
Ok, I try not to complain on here very often, especially about people in my family, but my mother-in-law constantly has negative things to say to me, especially on facebook. I mean she’s just really a smart alec and it drives me crazy. I really don’t think she knows how to think before she speaks. I try not to take everything she says personally but sometimes I just want to ask her what her problem is. I don’t bother her and she lives 4 hours away. I always try to be nice to her and not say anything back to her. We may be going to visit her next month so I’m trying not to say anything because I know Will wants to see her. I just get tired of feeling like I’m getting stepped on though. I try to treat people the way I want to be treated and I just would like the same respect. I guess some people just don’t get it though.
School’s out for summer….well almost
It is getting hot here in MS. Our central a/c unit went out last year. We think it’s the compressor. Thankfully, that part is still under warranty. We just have to have someone who is licensed to go and pick it up. And I think we will probably have to go and buy some sort of torch to get the bolts off of the old compressor. I am hoping we can get it fixed before the hottest part of summer gets here. We have 3 window units but they just don’t cool off the house like the central a/c does.
This is the last week of school for the kids for the summer. Jake only has to go one day this week because he’s exempt from all of his exams except for English. Rhiannon has school until Thursday. Trey is supposed to start school this fall, but I’m still debating on whether or not to just homeschool him, at least for kindergarten. He’s a really smart kid and I think he’s probably already ahead of most kids his age. I just don’t think he’s mature enough though. He still throws tantrums (but that’s getting better). Oh well, I guess I am just looking for excuses to keep him home with me for another year. I mean, he’s my baby…. I think if he can just behave in school, he will do really well. He seems to learn things so easily. I can tell him how to spell a word once and he can spell it right back to me. He knows his numbers to 20, knows all of his ABCs (and can recognize them),colors, and shapes. He can also write his letters/numbers. He just loves to learn and he’s been like that since he was really little. My other 2 do well in school, but they were never like he is about learning. I will just have to see what my hubby thinks about keeping him home another year because I think I can teach him as much as they can in Kindergarten. And besides the mandatory school age in MS is 6.
I don’t think we are really gonna get a vacation this year. We just can’t afford it. But we may end up going and staying on the coast with my mil and her family for a few days next month. (They are going to stay in a friend’s beach house) I’m not sure how that is going to go because I never can tell what kind of mood my mil is gonna be in. Right now, I guess she likes me but who knows what mood she will be in next month. My fil (actually my hubby’s step dad) and I have always gotten along. He’s like the total opposite of my mil. But I will be glad to see my little sil (she’s 11) and my little bil (he’s 13). I don’t get to see them that often. I know that Will wants to see them. I just pray that my mil and I can get along. I may have to take some superglue so I can keep my mouth shut LOL….
Well I think that’s enough randomness for one day….later!
