Friday is His Fun Day

Friday ended up being a real treat. Brody and I woke up bright and early, 5:30 a.m. Since we woke up the sun, we figured we might as well get some things done around the house. After two loads of laundry and watering all the inside and outside plants we started our day. We left to go for a tour of CSUDH. During our little tour we stopped off at the book store where $25o later we walked out with two books and a 4T shirt.

On our little tour I explained to Brody that mommy goes to school just like he does. I told him that when I drop him off at school that this is where I go. He then quickly asked me if I use markers. I replied with a giggle and a no. Then he asked me if I color, agagin I said no. Then he said well it is still amazing! This time I laughed a little harder as there were several students that over heard our conversation that found it quite amuzing as well.

On our way home Brody asked for chicken for lunch. So we stopped off to get him some stars at Carl's Jr. and headed home. To our suprise Mike was already home from work and it was just 12:15. Yippie! That meant we were able to mow and edge the lawn quickly and set up the watersilde. Brody invited the girls from next door over and had a blast.

Yippie! I finally finished the 2008 Spring semester at California State Univeristy Dominguez Hills. I attempted five classes this semester which is one more then I am comfortable. Yes, for all you people quick at math that does mean that I got a C. For those more curious of my grades below is a breakdown.

• Operations Management B-
• Humanities 200 B-
• Organizational Behavior A-
• International Business C
• Humanities 310 Success and Values B

Starting Monday June 2nd I am attending Summer school from 6 to 10 p.m. I will be taking Employment Law and Administrative Financial Resources. Next semester I am really stepping out of my comfortability zone and attempting six classes. Why? Well if I take so many classes that I no longer recgonize my soon to be three year old son and never see my lovely fiance. By December of this year I will be a GRADUATE! I hope to apply for the Master's program in early 2009 and hopefully can start classes over the next summer. The Master's program is ten classes and takes about 18 months. I figured I have been in school so long that a real scholar would have been working on their second Ph.D. so I might as well have a Master's.

Thanks Dad and Nana, whom I am sure will never see this. But thank you for all your prayers and having more faith in me then that I had in myself. I am doing it for you. I hate to hear you guys nag.

relentless Mike

Mike has been set on getting a new wagon for the past couple of months now. Since we already have three other ones I didn't feel guilty at all saying "NO!" However, Mike's agenda is a lot different then mine. He crept off to Sears saying that he needed to pick up some work jeans. Of course I didn't even think what he was really going for. One pair of jeans, shorts, and flip flops later all pulled in by a monster wagon, brought our grand total up to four.

Brody loved it! Mike took him for a few trips around the dining room table and through the kitchen then down the steps. Brody said he wanted to go to sleep in the wagon. Enraged I agreed.
