As many of you know I've been studying for my GED. I think I've gotten myself on a pretty good program. But, let me tell you holy crow has it been a LONG time since I've done this! I just finished up the Language and Writing Skills preperation and wow I had no idea that the English language had so many rules lol.
I never really had a problem with English in school. I always managed to pass it. Where I really struggled was with math. I was having a discussion with a friend earlier this evening and he had said if I needed any help to let him know. So, we got talking about math. He made a comment that really made me giggle. He said "They lost me at x=ab squared....WTF?" Why do we add letters? Seriously.
But, if I want to better my life, I have to pass it. I took the GED test years ago, while Lana was still small and I passed everything but the math. I was told once I have a 3rd grade math level. I'll be so happy once this test is done and over with and I can move on to the fun stuff....career training!
I wish I had never left school. When I left, I had 4 months to go til graduation and I was passing all my classes for a change. I had even been accepted to my dream college. I was going to be a Kindergarten teacher. Of course that was before I had kids lol. I love my kids but I honestly don't think I could handle 20 of them every day.
I think when I finish this, I'd like to train to be a photographer or graphic designer. I love playing with pictures and transforming them into something beautiful. I've even started doing my kids own school pictures. The way I see it is, if you have the know how to do it, why pay someone and get a limit as to what you can have done? Every 6 months, I dress my kids up and take several snapshots. Then, I take them into photoshop and "work my magic" as my friend Tiffany likes to say. Stay tuned for a future blog post on how to do a simple, yet beautiful effect on a picture.
Short one tonight guys. I have no clue what I wanna write about LOL. Until next time...KEEP SMILING!

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Good evening my loyal readers! It's late tonight I know but if you read my blog on the other site then you know my days have gotten a little busy lol.
For those of you who didnt see the post on the other site, let me give you a quick rundown of what my days look like latley. My alarm goes off at 6am (most days I hit the snooze button til about 7 swearing at it the whole time). When I do finally get up it's time to get Lana up for school (of course by now I'm so short on time I find myself praying that Connor sleeps in so I don't have to get 2 kids dressed before coffee). I take her to the bus stop about 7:30 where her bus comes shortly after. Then I finally get my morning coffee. Most days Connor's still asleep when I get back so I have about an hour or so to study for my GED.
When he finally wakes up, I let him wake Tom up while I prepare to do my workout. I alternate between 20 minutes of cardio or strength training (depends on the day) and finish out with 10 minutes of yoga. Now that I'm sore and energized at the same time (I haven't figured out how that works yet lol), I take my sweaty butt to the shower. After that I pour another cup of coffee and start cleaning. I usually have a couple hours before I have to get Lana that I use to play on the computer or whatever I feel like doing.
Then, Lana comes home and it's time to do homework and dinner. I get a couple hours at night of quiet time then I go to sleep to start it all again the next day. I don't work out on Sundays, that's my church and parents day.
Tired yet? If you ever wonder why you haven't seen me for a few days read this post lol. I can't help but wonder, have I started to do too much? I'm also taking online classes to hopefully help me with coping mechanisms for while Tom's gone next year. I'm determined that I'm not gonna fall into that slump again like I did last time.
One last thing before I go to bed. Have you made your New Years Resolutions yet? I have a couple this year. Obviously the first is to lose this weight by the time Tom comes back in January of 2012. And the second is simple, to finish what I start. So many times I've started a life-changing project, worked at it for a few months then got bored and not finished it. I dont wanna do that anymore.
OK, it's bedtime for me. I get to sleep in a bit, Lana's got a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Don't really know why, we're only supposed to get a trace of snow lol. But oh well, I'll take the extra sleep. If I don't see you before have a happy and safe holiday!
Keep Smiling!
