Last Week of the Second Semester

Well its our final day of the second semester. It has been tuff this semester, but things are starting to turn in the right direction. I am ready to move forward in my education at Kaplan University. From English Composition class I have learned how to write well. I know that in my future classes my term papers will be written to my best abilities. I hope that next term I can start working on keeping straight A's in my future classes. I know that this is putting a lot on myself, but I want to put forth every effert to make this happen and get the best out of my education. I am excited to move foward and confident I can do it. I did just check my email and people are scaring me about my anatomy exam. I am getting ready to take it, and there seems to be a lot of people who have failed it. They blame it on our teacher not explaining everything to us properly. I believe our professor did a great job in seminar trying to get through the information we had to learn. There is a lot of information in anatomy to learn in a short period of time. I think I have studied as much as I can, and I hope I will do great. These students have put a little fear in the back of my mind that I might fail. I think talking about it here has made me think about how much I do have in my brain. I am ready to take my final and get it over with, and I am sure I will do fine. I hope everyone has a wonderful next semester, and I have enjoyed getting to know everyone. I hope I share some classes in the future with you guys. Thanks for a good semester.

New Start

Well I am glad that this semester is almost over. It has been a difficult semester for me with the things that have went on in my personal life. I know that I have not done my best work this semester, and that I can do so much better. I also am not happy that I let my grades drop when I know that I should have pulled it altogether and attempted to keep my 4.0. I am sure that next semester I can start fresh and keep everything together. I put a lot on myself to keep straight A's, and I am going to make sure that happens next semester.

I have been typing all day today and my hand is very swollen, so I am going to have to go put an ice pack on my wrist soon. It sucks to have a broken wrist, even though it is not my dominate hand I found out that I do use my left hand a lot for stuff I didn't realize. My daughter doesnt take it easy on me either, she likes to try to get my cast off and she tries to make me do things I can't do, because she doesn't understand why I can't do it.

I hope everyone has great experience through the rest of their college courses. I also hope that all the stress in my life calms down so I can just keep my mind focused on my daughter, school, and work.

Stress

So this week has been very stressful. I am having so much trouble keeping up with everything. I have three kids this week, because my parents are out of town. Emma is actually the good child this week, only because my brother and sister are complete brats and don't listen at all. I am also running two tobacco stores, while they are out of town. Having a broken wrists doesn't help any matters at all, especially when I have to clean the house. It drives me crazy when it is dirty, and these kids won't help me out. There hasn't been any change in my uncle. He is starving to death, and his body is still shutting down. I try to keep myself positive about everything, and have faith that god will not give me to much to handle, even though it can seem like it.

Rough Week's

My uncle is in a medical induced coma now. The other day they removed his feeding tube without authorization. I don't understand how they can keep him in a coma, without a feeding tube. My aunt was on the way to the hospital to she totaled one of our company vehicles. My stepdad fired everyone in one of our stores, so I am back to work full time now. Between working and getting my aunt to the hospital I am so behind in my homework. On top of it all my little girl is sick and running very high fevers, so I think I might have to take her to the E.R. to get her checked out.

Rough Week

I am glad that today is the start of a new week. Last week was very rough week, and my whole family is having a tough time getting through everything. My has had several heart attacks in his lifetime. He was feeling very weak on Wednesday, and he knew there was something wrong so he called an ambulance. When he got to the hospital they said there was a leak in his aorta. They told him he needed to be life lined to Methodist to have a chance of survival. After they told him this they informed him they could not find an available helicopter, and he needed to call and say his last goodbye's, because he would need to be taken by ambulance and would probably not survive the trip. He made it to Methodist alive, and they started running test on him, but he was not doing very well. The doctors there told him there was no leak in his aorta, but instead he had a blood clot in his heart. They told him the surgeon would be in Thursday morning to decide whether he needed to have surgery to remove the clot. When the surgeon arrived Thursday morning, he decided he did not have a blood clot, but instead he had an aneurysm that ran from his heart to his groin. They took him into emergency surgery, before anyone could get to the hospital that morning. After he came out of that surgery the doctors realized there was a leak in his aorta, so they took him back into surgery. He has been through two more surgerys to repair damage to his heart, and no one knows if he will ever be able to leave the hospital. There is only a ten percent chance of him surviving, and everyone is waiting to see if he will wake up. Since Wednesday they have also found that one of his kidneys has shriveled up and died, he only has on working lung, and he is in the late stages of emphysema. Please pray for my family, and my uncle. I know we all need it right now.

New things to add to my week

I got a new job today. Which means I have to put Emma in daycare two days a week now, and I was trying to avoid doing that. I know she will be okay and it will probably be better for her to socialize with other kids. I am excited to finally go back to work. I just hope I'm not putting to much on myself, and I will be able to get everything done in a week that I need to get done.

Stress on top of stress on top of stress!

Wow, today has been very stressful. My ex-husband didn't come to pick up his daughter for the weekend. He actually said that work was more important to him. How can anything be more important to someone then their children? I don't understand how he can go so long without seeing Emma. It kills me when she leaves me for the weekend. I am ready for her to go with her dad when its time, but then I can't wait for her to come home. This was supposed to be my weekend to finally relax a little. I have plane tickets to Vegas for the weekend, and now I can't go. My dad and me were going for my birthday, and it would have been the first time going to Vegas for me. Now I am stuck at home, with my beautiful little girl. She is too young to know her dad was coming to get her. I just hope he doesn't do this when she gets older, like my dad did to me and my sister. I remember how hurt I was when my dad didn't show up and didn't call to tell us he wasn't coming. I won't let her feel that hurt, I will do anything to protect her from that pain. Sometimes I just feel like screaming, even though I know it won't help.
